I've no idea what we have done to secure Sanchez, so I'm certainly not going to slag off our club when I don't know what has gone on behind the scenes.

Just an opinion. I think it's mainly Arsenal but we could have been better as Sam Lee points out too.

Very good player but i always thought he's a bit of a twat in how he conducts himself so i'm not bothered if he doesn't come. He's 29 years old so it's a lot of money for the one or two seasons City would get out of him. Wish they'd gone in big for Mbappe instead, he's the future and now probably so are PSG.

Why is the deal dead, cos a journo said so?

That is how news if broken. You don't get a football club issuing blow by blow accounts on transfer deadline day - unless a player signs

However I'm paying attention until someone from the City end says its off. Not sure if we have any favoured journalists though
 
It's all very strange that this didn't play out a week or two ago. Let's hope our strikers and centre backs stay fit.

The deal is dead because Arsenal want it dead to provoke another bid. Whether they can hold their nerve and not sell and risk an unhappy Sanchez is another matter. We dont know what messages Arsenal are getting from Sanchez's end, they will be pushing too. Lot to play out yet.

Agreed. Arsenal are Skint, they're not going to throw away £60/70 million, not a fucking chance.
 
Something not stacking up. To a large extent all transfers are dependent on selling club getting a replacement but this is the first time I can remember a club deliberately leaking the condition. No-one benefits from this. Unless of course it's to create a position later in the day where buying club has to up offer. And now we're there at a seeming stand-off.
 
From the BBC (don't know if it's old news?):

Manchester City's bid to sign Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez looks to be over after the Gunners failed to secure a replacement.

It is understood a conditional agreement was reached in principle between City and Arsenal for Sanchez, 28, to move to Etihad Stadium.

The fee was £55m, plus £5m add-ons, but it depended on Arsenal replacing him.

Their target was Monaco winger Thomas Lemar, who is thought to have decided against a move.

A fee in the region of £90m had reportedly been agreed between the Gunners and Monaco for the 21-year-old France international.

City are currently not prepared to resurrect a deal for Sanchez by offering a player in exchange or more money for a straight cash deal.

Barring a remarkable last-minute turn of events Sanchez, who wanted to join City to be reunited with his former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola, will stay at Arsenal.

He is into the final year of his contract and is likely to leave on a free transfer next summer.
 
Things are very fragile and the next report will either put it to bed or reignite it. I'm still suspicious City haven't said anything.
