If you're right and he really would choose our 250k over their 450k, then all he has to do is turn the rags down. At that point he joins us for the 20m we've offered as Arsenal would have no other option (they can't keep him after today's hatchet job on him in the Mirror). Personally, I think he'd go for the extra money every single day of the week.I still think that if the opportunity was there and Sanchez was offered £250k a week to come here with our usual trophy related bonuses or the £450k a week to go to United he would still pick us. It isn't down to money, the problem is he wants to leave in January and currently Arsenal won't accept the £20m we are prepared to pay so he has no option.
He must be counting his lucky stars every day since he did that U/U-turn when you look where Villa are now and the games he's getting here(due to Mendy's injury I know but...), and playing so well also, in a record season. He's more than proved his worth for us, even if it might mean fewer games when Mendy's back. Keep forgetting he's a midfielder.
For the best players? Pogba, Lukaku and Sanchez are not in the elite catagory of players like Neymar, Messi, Suarez, De Bruyne, Hazard, Kroos etc. but are commanding wages that suggest they are the best players in the world. Someone said yesterday but you can argue Silva, De Bruyne and Aguero are all BETTER than Sanchez so do we offer the 3 of them £400k a week as well?
Many people thought we were mad to sign De Bruyne he had major question marks over that one, Silva was passed up by both Real and Barca and Atletico Madrid didn't want to sell Aguero to a cross town rival(we can understand that one!)For the best players?

Think what Bluemoon tells you to think!How will I know if I want him or not?
It's not you, it's all these people bleating about this fucking deal as some kind of disaster & also offering advice on how City should have done this or that, when they know FUCK ALL about any of it.
Just a bunch of spoilt kids who didn't get the exact toy they wanted, telling muumy she's shit.
This fucking clown is a prime example:
Telling Txiki & Pep how to compete in more than one competition, absolutely fucking incredible.
I'm not sure I'm at the right fucking club anymore.
He's a lazy fucker. Pep would blow a gasket watching him stroll back to defend.It's too bad Mickey plays for that lot. I'm not joking or on the wind up but he could do a job for us.
I don't think it will be THAT big of a problem. KDB and Sergio are not exactly earning £50k a week lets not forget and it is very likely some of these guys will already be earning something quite close to what Sanchez could potentially earn.

If the player swap element falls through then it could get very interesting. Arsenal have to consider Ozil as well, they can't afford to lose 2 top class players so if the player swap falls through then it will be wide open again. This is why Chelsea are getting involved, there is a big window for a very cheap quality player if United's deal fails.

We are offering the same wages. It's him that wants more.No, not the same wages at all, otherwise there wouldn’t have been such a problem, would there?
One of the biggest, if not the biggest factor in our success so far this season has been the team spirit and togetherness. Bringing in Sánchez on £350k a week would smash that to pieces.
How do you explain to De Bruyne who has been the best player in world football this last 12 months that a sulky prick who has downed tools for a while at Arsenal deserves a higher salary? You can’t.
How do you explain to Aguero who has worked his socks off to improve as an all round player and adapted to a different style of play and become our highest ever scorer that Sánchez is now suddenly first choice? You can’t.
How do you explain to Silva who has been in my eyes our best player ever, is our captain (in Kompany’s lengthy absence) and plays with injuries and during extremely difficult family circumstances that Sánchez is more valued than him? You can’t.
If Sánchez wants to come and integrate into the squad, within the wage structure we have in place and prove to the players that have got us 12 points clear at the top of the league that he’s going to give everything he’s got to help us improve even more then great. That however is not seemingly the case.
Well that's the $100,000,000 question(actually these days 3 times that!), it seems to me there has been a subtle shift in our transfer policy we are no longer looking to compete at the very top table(with the PSG Madrid Barca and uniteds of this world). What has masked this is the exceptional season we are having and the fact that a couple of those guys that were just below the radar of the previously mentioned clubs have paid off in a major way.
Let it go, let it go
I was never really for him anyway - he has too much jaw jut for me ;)
I trust Pep and the execs all the way.
