Alexis Sanchez

[Cotton Weave Blue]

Sanchez was asked about his next move while sitting next to team-mate Claudio Bravo.

• Q. "Will you be a teammate of Claudio Bravo at Manchester City next season?
  
• A: "[laughs]. Good question! Right now I'm focused on the Confederations Cup. When this is finished I will see if I stay or if I go. I don't know."
  
• Q: "Is it clear in your mind, or have you not decided?"
  
• A: "Yes it's clear but I can't tell you [laughing]".

I talked to Marti Perarnau the other day about CB's and he was basically saying what you're saying. Pep wants A N Other CB who is essentially a leader. This way if Vinny does breakdown Stones has a natural alternative next to him. The word he used the most is 'stability' and Pep wanting that stability that Vinny brings even when he's not there. The profile of defender they want is Bonucci/Alderweireld as opposed to Stones/Laporte if that makes sense.

I am so relieved that a CB seems to be back on the agenda after weeks of looking like we weren't going to bother. Did I read on here the other day that Alderweireld is having some kind of contract dispute? Problem is Levy would absolutely shaft us and judging by our response to the VVD asking price, we won't put up with that kind of crap anymore.

A N Other CB

Is that a clue?

Sounds very promising indeed. I can't wait for the Arsenal fans to start spewing.

 

[Edwaardz]

Is that a clue?

Yes. Alessandro Nesta is back in play.

You have a look of Humphrey

You seem like a bit of a Cryer.

Love the little twat getting buried under the arms at the front!

It's going to be great. So many of them seem so convinced that they will keep him for 12 months if necessary to keep him away from us. It is like they have never ever seen how their own club operates in a transfer window before. It'll be even funnier when they replace him with some load of shit for about 8 million quid.

We will shortly be entering the Uber-Fam phase of the close season.

Clear as fucking day.

WELCOME TO MANCHESTER, ALEXIS.

 

[lightning Rodri]

Yes. Alessandro Nesta is back in play.

Now that was some player.

 

[CityDreamer]

Clear as fucking day.

WELCOME TO MANCHESTER, ALEXIS.

Dont get me wrong, i would be over the moon if we sign him. But, am I the only blue who thinks that he ISNT coming?

 

[mosssideblue]

Something a bit more realistic perhaps?

Nah. I would expect any fans to claim the same. Arsenal are a top team and rightly so their fans have belief - nothing wrong with that IMO

I can't believe this fella has basically told others to get stuffed, including Bayern Munich! to come to us. Even at their height utd never had that allure and pull.

From those comments at his match presser i am struggling to not add 1+1 and put the mockers on it. I will say this deal looks very very likely to happen though going of his actions and comments, our attack will be as brutal as any other you could name in the world if it is not already.

The Micky Flanagan-a-like bundling through the middle is my favourite.

 

[ADegenerate]

Was hoping to wake up to an announcement of some kind (alves maybe?) but this works just fine. It looks like he's willing to make this very public and nasty...can't wait :).

 

[M18CTID]

Where's that from? I've never seen it before.

Missing out on Bonucci last summer cost us big time last season, it was there for all to see when Vinny was absent in the team the lack of leadership we had on the field, it's nothing new though as it's something we've been missing for a while

Apparently in another conversation between Bravo and Sanchez...Bravo was overheard telling Sanchez don't come to City as the fans just boo you all the time.....haha!!!!.
