Alexis Sanchez

[Roachy]

He has chosen money over a Premiership winners medal, fuck the greedy ****.

Said it earlier, not too arsed if he comes or not. But I concur with your sentiment towards him if he goes there. Let's look at this purely from Citys angle. If the narrative is true then he was coming in Jan, more or less agreed. Arsenal then become awkward over the fee and things stall. Utd pop up and he is possibly going there for more money. City have waited for 5 months based on a promise. So now we go without or go for someone else at short notice. That is the shit part really. A lot of time and effort has gone into trying to secure his services, and in private I'm sure Pep will be livid.

Danilo is shit. Kolarov was better.

I appreciate some of the signings he has made, but the significant signings he has bottled are the ones which have gone to rival clubs in the same league. That is not a good sign.

Well tell who went to other clubs which was the fault of Txiki.

1/4 bag of midget gems and a copy of the beano and dandy - take it or leave it : )

Midget gems, hmmm, not sure I can compete with such finery

 

[oakiecokie]

Estimated prices on realistic targets:

Toby Alderweireld - 60m
Fred 55m
Griezmann or Dybala - 130m

Total - 245m

Txixi has his head in the clouds. A top striker in the summer is NOT going to happen especially if we prioritise the other 2 positions mentioned.

I don't even want Fred either, I would rather Fabinho or Milinkovic Savic which would cost you more than Fred anyway.

Ever stopped to think that these "so called targets" are the ones that Pep wants ??

Can you imagine if City and United got involved in an auction and kept gazumping each other? By the end of the week, Sanchez will have offers of £800k a week and a signing on fee of £100 million on the table!

Dunc preparing the narrative of big spenders city out muscling United financially at the last minute?

Not that the rags have jumped in and inflated the players value

And we are led to believe you only cross our Pep once and that is it,

Stop now you will be up to £40m and £400000 a week before you know it

You see i should have secured this deal : )

 

[bobmcfc]

Hmmmmm....as much of a knob as Castles is, he does seem to be well connected to United - or rather Mourinho - so maybe he's had a whiff of something?

Maybe united bid a phantom bid to piss us off and they are panicking lol

 

[vin]

I feel like something may be happening here. Maybe we're going in with one final offer..

 

[jrb]

We don't even release statements when our greatest goalscorer has signed a new contract, why the hell would they announce pulling out of a transfer?

Did we not release a statement saying we wouldn't pay over £20mill for him? Or was that my imagination? Fake news? And why the hell would we do that? Because......

If it is done, if, perhaps going public before the Rags do it in a blaze of glory wouldn't be a bad thing. After all, we're quick enough to brief on the QT.

That had crossed my mind

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

I would piss it if united only threw that extortionate offer in to just rock the boat knowing sanchez wanted to move to us, but it has actually turned his head and they have to pay that wage now

Fucking wanker if only all our players were born in the 216 bus route and they still pay more than us. Bitter ****.

The latest reports I saw was that we may have been willing to pay Arsenal a bit more but not the demands of agent and player.

 

[lee_wsm]

Even though I believe it's is done to United if we did pay more arsenal say yes would Sanchez reduce demands

 

[TheThirdDeano]

This suddenly stinks of a United/Arsenal Fuck around to drive the price up with no real intention of signing him...

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Got to admit that although we need a forward, I am glad we missed out of Sanchez. He could have waited a few months and become a City player if he was that dedicated to playing for Pep but seems he just wants the money. So he can go to Utd and flap and point at the rest of his team for not performing to his standards because the style of fotball he gets there will not be beatiful, he will be parking the bus for all that money he earns.
