Alexis Sanchez

[Nascent Blues]

Not as worrying as it is for me! A transfer window with no Net Spend and claiming we have no money?

Either they are trying to drive up the price of Sanchez or drive down the price of his potential replacement, or we are well and truly fecked!

What about Arsenal's famous 'warchest'?

Are you Ricsters dad?.

sure @tolmie's hairdoo was saying 275 a week

Fair enough. But wouldn't the average wage per player be more relevant than total wageroll.

Anyway suppose the point is it's mostly guesswork.

City have the 4th highest wage bill behind Chelsea, Rags and Liverpool. Arsenal are 5th just 3M/year less than us. This is from published accounts for 2015/16.
There is no guesswork involved here just facts.

I don't believe this shit, just like I don't believe the warchest stuff. They manipulate the fans via the media something awful! We are actually about £20M in profit without the Sanchez sale.

Doesn't distinguish players wages does it. Pelligrini and his staff would be on a fairly modest package compared to managers at the others. Pep arriving probably changes that but we will see.

Return to a 442?

Are you expecting us to return to 1996?

Oh for those heady days, the very thought of Alan Ball stalking the touch line sends shivers down my spine.

That is guesswork like the Daily Mail.

So you think Pelligrini was on the same as Pep is?

Looks like we're sleepwalking into yet another accountancy thread.

Will be interesting to see where he starts off for us if he signs. I really do think Pep needs to settle on a formation, as the players have looked confused and uncoordinated in the games so far. 352 will only stagnate players like Sane so I'm hoping we return to a 442. Although 352 may help us to become more stable at the back. The managers has lots of big decisions on the horizon.

cant see us playing 3 at the back if sanchez comes. Would be to many attacking players on the bench.
