Alexis Sanchez

[Dribble]

that works out at £5 million a month ,tell them to fuck off, give him to us for £5m or we will see him in june

Yes, but what is Sanchez worth to us in terms of success this season?

Far more than £20m if he's the difference between success & just missed out. We really could have done with a Sanchez against Leicester to put that game beyond doubt, long before additional time, extra time & penalties.

Fuming or not the man is supposed to be a professional. Imagine a surgeon being denied a move to a top private hospital due to his commitments to booked in patients. Would you think it reasonable if he sulked and performed badly in operations?

Sorry to labour the point. :)

It’s the right stance £30m for a few months... we should wait and take him on a free in the summer - if he still wants to come

He could be the difference between success & missing out. Is £30m in this crazy market really not worth the risk to Manchester City Football Club?

Just imagine if Sanchez helped us sweep all before us. The new shirt deal goes up, other sponsorship deals go up. Pre-season appearance deals go up, PL money goes up, CL money goes up, Carabao Cup & FA Cup money goes up.

At a stroke, the £30m spent to achieve this would be covered & forgotten in monetary terms & only mentioned in terms of it being a masterstroke.

January.

Last time I checked we were in December????

This transfer if it happens in January may only be because of injury to Kun or Jesus or a sudden loss of firepower and points in the league. If the winning streak continues into the New Year he may appear surplus to requirements or worse still as some have suggested he may be viewed as likely to disrupt the balance of the side and undermine morale.

I can assure you that every surgeon has a private practice, & is contracted by the NHS to fulfil a set amount of operations by choice, so your analogy is way off the mark.

Not really accurate. Consultant Surgeons have a time contract for NHS work rather than a number of operations.
Outside that time they may do private work, though many do not.

We are playing fantastic football and are 11 points clear. 30m for a player we can have for free in a few months is crazy, even in the modern market.

Whether it's the RagDipperArseHaringeyMeedya in full flow or what, but the DT this morning are suggesting that Aguero is key to the Sanchez move. I've not read the whole article but the word 'swap' springs to mind. No matter how good Sanchez might be, I wouldn't swap him for Sergio.

I'd follow Pep to the end of the Rochdale Canal but I draw a line under shipping out Aguero!

I not entirely sure he would be free in the summer , will he not be asking for a huge transfer signing on fee and increased wages because he is a fee agent ?

I'm with the poster above get him signed asap , we were willing to pay 60 million a few months back he is quality and could be the difference between winning some extra trophies

Personally I would give him a miss, and look for a hungrier younger player in the summer. Wouldn’t want to rock the boat at this stage.
