Are we 5 points clear without him at the moment?Difference between us winning the title and not I still feel.
Looks like the top line, to be fair.......Is the bottom line.
We aren't fine in depth for the forwards, Bernardo is needed in midfield, today he played as a wide forward because Sterling needed resting, We have 4 forwards for a front 3 . One long injury and the three have to play twice a week every week.Again.....i'd love Sanchez here in January. But at the same time....i would buy another CB to compete/rotate with Otamendi and Stones. And a back-up LB before considering Sanchez.
Anyone can see that we are doing fine in terms of depth in the forward positions,
Unfortunately for Wenger, Arsenal more than any other PL club is run as a business rather than as a sports club. Wenger has already blocked Sanchez's move and has cost his club £50m-£60m which would have greatly helped in finding a replacement, and now there is only January left where he can recoup something. As transfer fees have rocketed, Arsenal may have to accept our offer as soon as it's made otherwise Wenger's stubbornness is going to cost the business minded Kroenke a tidy fortune. They could yet implode this summer if Sanchez is forced to stay.I really don't think we should pay anything more than £15m for him if we give it a go in January but I'd be a little upset if we went over £20m. It looks like at least for this season (or until we get Alexis) that Pep is going to play Bernardo as a winger instead of one of the free 8's. Sanchez on a free definitely would not be fetching more than £15m for his signing bonus so if we're 8-10 points ahead by January I would only want him in if it meant we weren't paying too much.
And FWIW I don't think Arsenal would sell at that price, which is their decision to make. As soon as they didn't sell him on deadline day I figured they wouldn't unless we offered a crazy amount (like £30m) in January.
No disrespect to Everton (well; not much anyway!), but why would he even consider Everton above us?Some bollocks on the BBC's gossip page now about us wanting to wait until summer to get him for free, so Everton jumping in with a £30m bid in Jan.
Surely if they bid in Jan we'd just have to outbid them and sign him up in Jan ourselves?
Jesus, calm down. Mullock is City's mouthpiece if you haven't realized until now. If he's writing something, it means that City want him to write that. Could be the club is trying to set the game well before the Jan window, so that we get him for 20m or so. If club journalists start pushing stories that we're desperate to buy Sanchez even for 30mil in Jan, what do you think the general outlook in the media and in Arsenal's basecamp would be? They would hold out for 40mil and sell on the last day of the transfer window in that case. This is just posturing from City, so calm the fuck down and stop abusing respectable journalists, especially those who have been blues all their lives.What a croc of shite.
So we're not going for him now, not even for £30mill, half the original amount we offered.
And we're going to let a host of our PL and CL rivals fight over him, while we let one of the PL and Europes best players sign for them, even though he wants to come to City.
And to think, he's not even CL cup tied either.
Yes Muculuck, or whatever your name is, City have decided they don't want Sanchez, for all the above reasons, and Arsenal are playing away at City next Week as well
Been briefed by Arsenal have you, or have you come up with this s*** yourself?
