Alexis Sanchez

[mosssideblue]

I hope not. Thought we were above that. Leave that sort of thing to the candle lighters.

exactly, we are better than that

What was that Klopp was saying in his presser, only got the arse end of it, said something about we didnt pull out because of money and he could cause a lot of shit if he let the cat out of the bag ??

When and what was this ???

I apologise as I responded to you without the clarification you offered later

Ah, I see. No worries.

I tried to analyse the numbers dispassionately and only managed to get myself misunderstood :-)

Klopp says he did not think we would have pulled out over money and that there are two teams in Manchester.

As any team with the money would go for Sanchez.

That was about it,

Made little sense. As usual.

very well handled today,congrats and a subtle fuck you in one,delivered with a smile,expect the headline tomorrow will be pep says sanchez is not a nice person lol

I thought the “I always believe that players adapt quickly. We want nice people to help us if we believe we need them.” quote from Pep was more telling than anything gone before.
Sounds like Pep feels Sanchez has gone against a previous deal, and maybe his word.

any team with the money should go for Sanchez.#

Don't know where I got the idea Klopp came out on our side by saying he did not believe City would have pulled out merely because of money. Implying there are other reasons. I could be wrong.

Don’t worry mate, they’re all thick ****s on here ;-)

That's exactly what Sanchez obviously did as I think was clear from the statement a few days ago.

Did what?

A snippet of Klopp ‘s statement

"Now I could really create headlines here, but I won't," Klopp said with a smile when asked about the Chile international at his news conference on Friday.

"It's not my business, not my cup of tea; we had our big transfers and everyone could say whatever they wanted.

"I've nothing to say about the numbers [involved in the deal], but I can't imagine City leave the race because of money.

"Maybe it's because there are two opportunities in Manchester and maybe he thinks to go to one or the other, and then one maybe thinks, 'I don't want him [Sanchez] anymore'. It's not about money.

Am I right in thinking Arsenal are getting a fee (circa 30mil+) and Mkhitaryan ?

Or are they paying a fee for Mkhitaryan?

I am only going off what the media are saying he said. Which just appeared to be his opinion that nobody would drop out if they had the money.

It seems hard for some reporters and football folk top grasp the idea of integrity and trust and managers faith in team spirit.

Ashton in the Sun today tells it how it was surprisingly well. He calls Sanchez out for what he did to Pep.

 

[aguerooooo]

Barcelona managed to dominate Real Madrid during the Pep era and slightly afterwards not due to financially dominating by them but by strategically dominating them, they out thought Madrid. City have always had a game plan and it doesn't always need to rest on financially smashing everyone else any more, we are outthinking Man Utd.

Cannot agree we never won at the Toilet by strategically dominating them we never got a bean till we had the funds to start purchasing quality players. yes we did it with Benjani but Sven had a £10 mill+ kitty

Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal all backing each other up.
Wow, I wonder if this has ever happened before, seeing as they all 'hate' each other !

How weird is that ? It's not as if they have all been in cahoots since the start of the Premier League, or in fact for longer than anyone here has been alive.

 

[Healdplace]

Did what?

Agree a deal and then try to up it. That is why Pep lost interest in him.

It fits him as a person, whereas Klopp seems to be trying to imply something else. Not sure what.

All the above and a Phil Jones grooming set.

 

[Fred_Quimby]

There is a reason why we wouldn't enter a bidding war for this player. City obviously thought he is only good enough as a squad player and not in the class of Silva or KDB.

 

[kaz7]

I'm confused,what is klopp saying?

 

[GaudinoMotors]

I know we're pleased not to be made mugs of - but unfortunately there are teams that are happy to be.
What do those in the know now think our transfer strategy is, given that players will always have greedy agents and want the best pay day? Or is this just a one off due to the circumstances and we will spend as big as our rivals in future?

 

[Neville Kneville]

I'm confused,what is klopp saying?

Basically that City wouldn't pull out of a deal.for Sanchez because of money.

So that kills two birds with one stone, we will spend anything but on this occasion, Utd's status has outdone us.

Just like Van Dijk & Liverpool.
