True. If we could pick Sanchez up for free in January then I'd be all for it.Yes but I think he means Ibrahimovic won't be fully fit for a while, so he'll almost be like a January signing for them.
I beleve Arsenal never had any intention of selling to us. We were just strung along until it was too late for us to strengthen the squad in that position.
I doubt Sanchez will do anything other than his best for them this season, even if it's through gritted teeth.
If we go back for him in Jan it should be with a take it or leave it, answer within 3 days offer of £30 mill on Jan 1st. After that it's deal off and go balls out for a younger alternative.
Pretty sure he won't be cup tied in Champions League by playing in the Europa League.He needs to refuse to play in the Europa League and avoid being cup tied.
He stayed quiet during the summer and while everyone can respect not being a **** to your current club, he didn't get his move, now it's time to go full scorched earth if he really is unhappy.

But I bet you were shitting yourself when it emerged that Arsenal had accepted our £60M bid.No idea mate, apparently I just play the percentages.

Edit -I was wrong!

My point was it isn't just a couple of months.Yes he's signed but won't play until Dec/Jan.
Who cares if he's free, it's not remotely relevant.
The point is that having a player start playing in January and not September isn't the end of the world.
I don't really care though. Never liked the idea of paying that much money for a player of that age in the first place.
Certainly don't like having the piss taken by that club. I hope Sanchez does mope, sulk and poison the atmosphere there.

I think you may be right about Arsenal. However, I cannot see Sanchez putting in full effort. Last thing he wants is to pick a serious injury the last year of his contract.

Can't imagine we'd go above £25m, maybe £30m with short term add ons (like winning the league this season). Wouldn't want to risk foreign clubs negotiating with him. Although after the Arsenal shit show yesterday i'd expect City have given Sanchez assurances given how devastated he probably is, so i'd expect he still wants to come here and he still wants to play for Pep.
