[SPIDERBOY]

They're not far from the truth.

Timeline/Recap;

- Maks Cardenas, a Chilean journalist who first broke Bravo to City last year, reported Pep's interest in Alexis Sanchez in February.

- Cardenas updated in early April that if it's Sanchez's choice, he wants to go to City.

- Several ITKs on Blue Moon report City are making Sanchez a top target this summer, including @tolmie's hairdoo

- Bayern Munich are linked to Sanchez by several mainstream media publications in the UK and Germany, including BILD.

- Cardenas updates in early May that Sanchez still wants City, but Arsenal want to push for Bayern. Sanchez's agent also favours a Munich move, as his other headline client, Arturo Vidal, plays there.

- More updates in May about Alexis from Cardenas writing for Chilean media corp Coopertiva about Sanchez having his heart set on being reunited with Pep, but Arsenal pushing hard.

- Reports emerge in the media, likely leaked by Arsenal, that the gooners offer to make Sanchez the highest paid player in the PL, increasing his £180k per week wage to £280k per week.

- By late May, Bayern seemingly take a step back in pursuit of Sanchez with their chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge admitting, in an interview with BILD, the club couldn't afford to compete with the money being offered as wages.

- Several UK journalists, including Sam Lee, maintain City remain confident of landing Sanchez and a meeting allegedly takes place, to that effect, in London a little over a week ago.

- Yesterday, Cardenas updates via Twitter that Sanchez is close to a move to a new "City". Arsenal still pushing, however, for him to go to Munich.

- Also yesterday, Gerard Romero reports Sanchez will be a City player in "a few days". Romero is a Catalonian radio host with close connections to Barca, and, in particular, Guardiola. Last year he was the first to break the news of Stones, Sane, Jesus and Nolito, to City.

- @mattyb posts to say Sanchez's people have been reportedly looking for housing in Manchester for a number of weeks.

- Cardenas tweets again with a contemplative picture of Sanchez, which he captioned "City or Bayern?" When pressed which it is, he says City.

Great summary thanks. Wish summaries like this were stikied on the first page of every thread.

James Rodriguez?

Would suit them to a tee. Another flakey inconsitant player like Ozil.

What time you doing the pod mate?

Really hope we can get this one over the line, I think he could have a bigger impact than Tevez had and he was magnificent, a player who this team is crying out for.

 

[Blues all the way]

Hi. I am new on this blog. I might sound stupid, but if we are having so much fuss signing Sanchez shudn't we try for an alternative - maybe someone like Dybala.
