What fucks me off is that on one hand I don't want us to over pay, but on the other hand I don't want him going to the vermin. If we do sign him I hope we show an interest in every player they ever go for just to return the favour and make them pay over the odds. Sanchez is world class and a player we should not be allowing to join a rival. If we have a decent trophy haul he will pay for himself before the end of the season.

Suppose we should have outbid them on Pogbad as well then?

 

[Henkeman]

It'd be even funnier if Arse turned round and said "£25m+Mikhitaryan? Sorry Ed, we've seen your press conferences, we want £34m+Mikhitaryan.".

Yeah, but leaking my idea to the press would cause more uproar. ;-)

Could have both.

the bbc reporting that £35million plus agent fee's taking up to £40million

hahahhaha we can not be that daft can we the lad is on a free in 5 months and the premier league is a good healthy lead of 15 points and hand on heart we are not going to win the champions league this season with or without him the fa cup is still open to him the league cup he's cup tied so really is he going to have a major say on the squad other than winning the fa cup for man city ??? good player and would be a plus but £40million is a joke and we should walk away

His agent wants a reported £25m signing on bonus now, or £35m in the summer when he is “free”.

That not including agent fee’s and the transfer fee we would have to pay Arsenal this month.

 

[Luke The Blue]

It means look at me and regardless of the outcome he can claim the tweet alluded to it all along.

Where have I seen that before?

Yes sanchez is world class.
But a top side needs more than one world class player.
Seen as the rags only world class player is there keeper leave them too it.
If he does want to come fuck him

City are going to win the league with or without Sanchez, Arsenal need top 4 and United are rivals to take one of those places, Arsenal would be crazy to sell to a club that can deny them CL football next season.

 

[colin's bell helmet]

I'm sorry mate but we're 15 points & a huge GD better off than the rags no chance (imo) they catch that this year. As for the future the rags need a whole lot more than Sanchez to compete with us a whole lot more.

We'll be spending well over 30/40m in the summer for player of Sanchez calibre if we miss out....unless of course he tells arsenal he only wants us and we get him for free in the summer

There are signs of panic among some of our fans and demands, as always that we "just pay the ******* money" as though we're being held up by a highwaymen rather than negotiating a transfer, and yet we know virtually nothing about what is actually going on. When it comes to hard fact, reliable information, we'd have no trouble in writing it down on the back of a postage stamp!

Are any other clubs after Sanchez? United? Have they made an offer? Will they make an offer? Is there any evidence at all which suggests that this offer of Mikhitaryan + £25 million + £400000 pw + agents' fees has any truth in it at all? Or is United's interest as real as their interest in the raft of players quoted in the "gazumping" thread this morning? Only last June we were treated to reports that Bernardo had arrived in Manchester to sign for United ...

Are Arsenal prepared to sell? And if so at what price? On January 1st it was supposed to be for £20 million, which has gone up to £25 million, then £30 million and now £35 million - though United appear to be about to get him for less! What are City prepared to pay? Anything? Nothing? Wait till summer?

Much of this depends on what Sanchez wants. It was clear in the summer that he did want City and he was devastated when the deal collapsed. His attitude has seemed remarkably consistent since then. In December Bayern announced they were no longer interested in Sanchez because they believed he was already certain where he was going. Now we are led to believe (with no discernable evidence) that he wants out of Arsenal so desperately that he'll go elsewhere, though his personal demands appear to have increased to a point which puts any move in jeopardy - just as happened with PSG and Bayern in the summer.

I have no knowledge or info beyond that above, but my modest shilling would still be on Sanchez to City, probably in January but if not, in summer.

It's true test of character for Sanchez now. If he's passionate about football and really wants to play for Pep, he should be willing to take the cut.

Or else he can just fuck off and be a rag for the rest of his life and not win shit

 

[Lancet Fluke]

We don’t know what they were offering, if at all they were offering.

Plus, I am pretty sure his agent would not have been demanding a signing on bonus last summer unlike now.

I'm pretty sure he would have been asking for a signing on fee last summer. Either way, I wouldn't ever judge anyone's character on the say so of John Cross, the man is a fucking cockroach and almost everything he writes has an ulterior motive that involves doing Arsenal's dirty work.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

This is brilliant negotiating by the guys up top.

Some on here don't think our negotiators are any good.

This is brilliant negotiating by the guys up top.

How is that?

 

[moomba]

Love it that we're not bending over just paying whatever the other side asks. Hopefully the deal will still get done, on our terms and it will send a message to everyone else that we're not always a pushover.

 

[foggy1974]

Ok I will give you Nasri. My point is when United were desperate to land RVP to secure the title even though they were still competing with United they did the deal with them. I don't trust them.

Also the rags were still relevant only losing the title on goal difference. Would here go there now if it was us or them, being as playing week in week out was also a preference.

 

[Healdplace]

Question is have we agreed to pay these agents and weekly fee sums in the Summer from the transfer fee we save?

If so it is not us fighting on a principle of not paying mad sums per week or to an agent and just about paying £20 million transfer fee to get back at Wegner for not taking £60 million 5 months ago.

That does not look quite so principled.

And if we have not agreed then it cannot be about money to Sanchez as otherwise he would go with the one team willing to pay that now.

So we must believe that is how he sees it too and will wait.

The test for this thread will come if he starts to panic and want out around end of month.

Because it looks like we will just walk away then.

Where's Tolmie with his cryptic videos to make things more despairing.

 

[mosssideblue]

Do you think the rags have a chance?

Do you think they have? I don't.
