Alexis Sanchez

[Benarbia]

Would accept it if it's a Sterling loan

 

[waspish]

Heard there's actually something in this Sterling thing. I fucking hope not.

Well if there is any truth in it and it happens Pep has gone down in my estimation.

 

[Sky Blue]

Daily mail now reporting the same story.

Clickbait cu*ts.

Cannot belive anyone would sanction this, he is a great young tallent who could be with city for the next 8 years. I would suggest that he is far from reaching his peak and it does nothing for the HG player situation. Whats the point of giving away one of the best HG players in the premiership ? Considering his age alone he must be worth at least £80m in todays market if not more.
Hopefully its all bullshit just like the Aguero swap a few weeks before.

Am I the only one that would take that deal? *hides*

It doesn't make financial sense and will never happen but I think Sanchez would be a better option at present.

It will be a negotiating tactic from Arsenal , propose a deal that they would accept (Sterling + Cash for Sanchez) that puts the pressure back on us as to how much we want
Sanchez and how far we are willing to go.

They have fed this to Cross, who then has an interview lined up with TS

I cant see us being that desperate , Sterling is only 23 , has his best years ahead of him plus he's English which adds to his value

We will go back with a cash only bid, of around £70m

 

[Cityisland]

Terrible bit of business if true.

If keeping Sterling and not getting Sanchez means we won't win the title in the next 5 years and Pep leaves, I'm okay with it. Fuck this bullshit rumour. The kid loves this club. What more does a player have to do to get a place here?

 

[Moveonlife]

John cross is a very good arsenal source... and now daily mail is also reporting same thing.

I'd geniuenly offer aguero instead. Not raheem ffs

From a purely footballing point of view, Sterling will never be as good as Sanchez as long as he has a hole in his arse. That may seem harsh but its also a reality.

This alone does not mean its a good deal for us. From a financial point of view it seems crazy to offer this for a guy who is out of contract and available on a free next summer. Also in the current transfer market, I think Sterling is now worth at least what we paid for him, 12 months ago I think this deal would have looked a lot sweeter. Additionally Sanchez is also 29 years old so obviously has far less time still in the game than Sterling.

Many on here wont entertain this deal at all but I can see pros and cons to it.

If what you say is true then you are saying that pep only has peps immediate interests at heart and not the club. Sterling is a player who is brilliant and young and will only improve. For fucking years fergie made little stop gap signings, kept aging players and his little circle very tight. When he left the damage was immediate and immeasurable !!

We should not be gambling the long term sustainability of the club on quick fix stop gap players ! We don't work like this, it's a very dangerous plan and a could undo all the good work we've done building the academy and buying young talent

Think about what you're saying
