Alexis Sanchez

Based on what exactly

You are trying to engage with someone who purportedly supports a club 15 points clear and yet claims we have shoddy management. Good luck waiting for sense.

If Sanchez wants the money he should go to United. If he wants to play attractive, attacking football and win trophies he should come to City. (how times change eh?!) Pep is not daft and will not that any ridiculous wage / signing on fee / agent bribe could create disharmony in the group. City are wise to steer clear and I do not think they are bluffing at all.

Secondly, Arsenal are an absolute shambles if they are willing to sell their best player to a Top 4 rival who could effectively guarantee them CL football rather than to a club they are not going to catch this season. Someone has lost their mind at that place to make a rash decision like that I tell you. I'm sure any Arsenal fans perusing this thread will be asking the same question.

What makes you think that Sanchez would guarantee them CL football this season?

 

[SPIDERBOY]

Feels like he's going to Utd to me. Hope I'm wrong.

Wtf do they have to offer,not a dig,genuine question.

To be fair they did let the chips run out one time. so they’re not perfect.
What we need on this forum is a kind off witch finder general to hunt down all the rag infiltrators

I like the timing of that squad pic. It screams trophies.

Not saying they are perfect. But they are pretty damn good. Certainly not 'shoddy throughout' . That's just laughable given the current state of play.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

So why are we in for him then?

Because he makes us better. If the numbers are right, the club doesn’t feel he makes us 30 mm better, when someone else might. Maybe he makes us 20 mm better and they can spend 10 mm on someone else.

This isn’t that complicated IMO.

Leg fell off again, had to go to A&E.

Mate was you actually there for the great chip famine, it was a total dereliction of duty and it was the shoddiest thing I’ve ever seen from our owners

Worse thing you can do is get complacent mate....we having a great season so far but the minute you start thinking we dont need to improve or add to the squad, is the minute the chasing pack start closing the gap! The way the transfer market is going, 25-35mil for a world class forward, in his peak, is an absolute bargain and we'd be making a mistake if we walked away over 5-10mil (If Arsenal's rumoured asking price is correct)

You’d be right if — and this is important — we didn’t think he was coming to us on a free in June. Obviously we think there is a chance of that. How big? Who knows. Probably the club knows. We think Arsenal is bluffing, and that he really wants us. Sure, we might be wrong.

Nothing I said means we shouldn’t add to the club. But we also may think we need to add to the club in other more important areas now or later, like a Fernandinho heir, or at CB, and that is money better spent. I love a world class forward as much as the next bloke but we have been scoring a few goals here and there without Sanchez, you know?

Bit harsh on @SWP's back that

Sorry forgot about that. Shambles. #sacktheboard.

This.

Mancini was bang on in 2012 and we should have gone all out to improve.

We rested on our laurels and waited until deadline day to get some “squad” signings in.

We lost the league by what? 11 points? To one of the worst United sides under Ferguson.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

FFP?

I don’t know. But there’s also the signal that we aren’t going to be dicked around by agents when we have the world’s best manager and the potential for a dynasty with the players we already have — assuming the club believes that.

There was a Geordie on here at the time that admitted to being the one that ate all the chips.

Not signing Sanchez does not mean by definition we are getting complacent. Keeping a fading manager in place who creates trophies out of thin air is getting complacent.

 

[BLUE THUNDER]

If Sanchez is considering united above here, it'll be all for the money (don't blame him at 29), but it will go to prove he wasn't what we needed anyway, ambition is coming to City and playing for Pep, lame is opting to go there, and take a bigger wedge, he might as well sign a new contract at Arsenal.

I agree.
The only way he goes to Rags is if his agent gets in his ear to make more $$.
You would think at this stage of his career he would want to play for the greatest club in the league (probably Europe) with the world's best manager playing the world's best football and cleaning up trophies along the way over the next few years If he sacrifices that for extra $$ from Rags when he's already offered a massive salary etc by us and is loaded to the hilt then he's not for us.

My guess is that he will come to us for true success because if money was his chief motivation he would have gone to PSG or signed on with Arse. Unless of course he is stupid enough to believe the Rags under Peg will have our level of success.
