Alexis Sanchez

[webelieve]

Think it is now obvious that the Sanchez deal is nearly done. Posturing from arsenal to make it look like they are getting a top city player. City will pay more than was originally quoted and Sergio and Raheem will still be city players.

It'd be madness to let him go now (......unless it was a loan).

I wouldn't even be happy with him going out on loan tbh. He's an incredibly important part of our squad.

Didn't tolmie say this thread would reach 3000 pages by the end of the window?
Maybe he started the rumour to boost the page count

They aren't.

He wouldn't sign for that fucking shower even if they held his girlfriend at gunpoint.

Maybe but the fact we're apparently willing to offer him is fucking disgusting.

 

[shemnel]

from a brutal improvement point of view, Sanchez is probably an upgrade on Sterling but it would be a harsh blow to Sterling if he were to leave

Are we ?

 

[Chippy_boy]

Haha, now Sky 'sources' are saying City could offer Aguero in exchange. Jesus fucking Christ haha silly fuckers.

Hmmmm, we are short on goals, have only 2 strikers (I don't count Bony) and we would let one of our strikers go - one of the most prolific scorers the PL has ever seen? In return for essentially an attacking left winger? I think not.

And also, btw, making Khaldoon look like a right dickhead in the process, him having repeatedly and categorically stated Sergio is going nowhere. Definitely not.

Man City not putting these rumours to bed infuriates me all over the media yellow banner headline how this going effect Sterling? Unless he has already been told by Pep it's not true.

Man City are soft arses in this day and age you have to be full on and reacting to the lies.

Ain't happening, whilst I don't see Sterling reaching Sanchez's level, he is still 6 years younger with room to improve and is homegrown. Sterling should be viewed as a valuable asset for success in the future, he offers those off the ball runs that Sanchez, Aguero, Jesus tend not to do as often as they prefer the ball into feet. We need variation.

 

[City_Sean]

Are we ?

Yes. Telegraph, Mirror and Guardian all reporting this. City haven't squashed the rumour.
