Alexis Sanchez

[Danny_Johnson4]

It is not the same person mate.

I know its not that apparently mega reliable guy bud, but its certainly one of the guys people were pinning hopes on further back in the thread
I literally don't think anyone is sure on the state of this one and I ain't convinced we will hear anything until we tie up the fullbacks anyway

 

[MCFC1993]

So the guy who was avidly reporting that Sanchez is coming to city, based on Chilean sources, now states on twitter that 'Bayern now have hope'

Wanted this signing more than anything else this summer but I really can't see a world where Arsenal allow it to happen, a year left on his deal or not.

The only scenario I see is Sanchez telling the board/Wenger that he is more than happy to see out next season but after that he's leaving on a free, it would also require us to give him all sorts of promises in case Arsenal call his bluff. However in that scenario I think Arsenal would cave and sell him to us this summer.

Sanchez holds the cards because I'm not sure I could see him carrying out the above scenario with Bayern waiting in the wings. If he wants City more he's going to have to get his agent to force it.

To be fair as much as I'd like Sanchez..he's hardly a priority

The arses will give him up in the end if he stands firm,whether it's to us or bayern it weakens them a lot either way

 

[Danny_Johnson4]

The only thing is, it's either this summer or never for us when it comes to Sanchez
We will only take him this year, as we will probably end up turning to plan 'b' if he stays at Arsenal
Plus Arsenal may run the risk of him having the year, them winning the league, and him then fancying it again signing another contract with them

Again, I just don't see how the backlash of their fanbase can even be risked for the sake of losing out on a fee for a player next year, not with the position Wenger is already in

Why are you bothered about the source if it's not the one we know to be reliable? ignore the rest

I think he is. We desperately, desperately need another big goalscorer in the side.

Keeper, Fullbacks, Sanchez. Those were the priorities.

How do we know the other one is reliable though
Have you ever heard of him, or the other guy, or some other Chilean bloke who may pop up

Its a transfer forum, and you're usually the first to post any source or tweet in and fair enough
Seems strange to not be bothered about it when he was being quoted in here 50 pages back and people were getting giddy

The only argument for saying that Sanchez is not a priority is if Mbappe is the priority.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

I think he is a priority though. We can't compete with the big boys without him. We need the depth. Kelechi, Nolito and Navas all leaving or gone... and they made over 90 appearances between them last season. We need to replace them with 2 top class options, to have quality rotation. One was Bernardo, the other needs to be Sanchez. Or someone equally as prolific and equally versatile... can't be a long list.

Are you referring to Tancreti? i would never post anything from him,the star,people or express as it's all crap,believe the chillean source who is proven to get things right

 

[MCFC1993]

Sanchez is the difference between a Champions League Quarter-Final/Semi-Final exit and winning the thing in my opinion. Like someone said above, only not a priority if we sign someone like Mbappe.

 

[its a Barm]

It's in arsenals interest to get this sorted asap, if he goes then they need to replace him asap and we know that takes time.

If they're expecting a bid in the next week or so, as the Independent report says, then it's very early. Compare with RVP and they were still trying to give him a new contract at this point.

 

[Easy]

Looks like Arsenal are working on the Lacazette deal.

I could see Arsenal selling Sanchez soon and then a week later bringing in Lacazette. The fans will be wild for a few days then will calm down and will ultimately start saying this is great business, etc, etc.

Makes the most sense for me.

I would never ever ever use Tancredi haha
It was the Mark Cadenaras or something like that, a Chilean reporter, who many were clinging onto recently
He suggested Bayern now have hope of signing Sanchez

He said Bayern's hopes are back because Arsenal don't want to sell to PL rivals.

But he's still sure that Alexis only wants to come here, and that means one thing...he's coming here.

That's Cardenas translating/summarising a tweet by Daray, a Fox Sports reporter, not posting his own opinion.

Arguably Cardenas has never said Bayern didn't have hope, but he's said all along Sanchez wants City and if that holds then that will be the decider.

He called bravo before anyone else so he is being believed until proved wrong
I wasn't bothered about signing him before but i really want him now,getting one over on arsene and bayern would be ace lol

 

[JustAnotherCityFan]

To me it just looks like all these Bayern stories are a way of driving the fee up as much as possible for us. Bayern can't compete with the wages or fee so Arsenal will know it has to be us. They may as well drive a hard bargain though.
