Alexis Sanchez

[Javi Garcia's Hairstylist]

Normally would think this is "journalist" garbage or an attempt to drive up the price for us. But as the entire structural philosophy of the Trafford Nonsense is "react to what City are doing and pointlessly burn money in do doing" there may be an actual attempt in play here.

At the margins, what does Sanchez get them? Increases their 3% chance of winning the CL to 4% maybe? Hate to say it, but top 4 is probably in the bag for them this year anyway. So they get him and lump on another giant weekly wage on a near-30 player at a time when they really need to do things a bit more organically. I'd still want him here but that isn't the worst thing that could happen if he does not come.

Manchester United SNUBBED.

To be fair, whatever the truth, United HAVE to make some kind of token bid for him - they'd be seen as negligent if they didn't.

Odd move from them, they face being publicly rejected in favour of their rivals and will come off as desperate when he inevitably signs for City anyway.

 

[Armaan]

If he does choose united we only have ourselves to blame, just pay whatever arsenal want and get him in the squad! He obviously isn't choosing them though, just saying.

Let's hope so.

Yep SSN are even reporting United are willing to pay more for him and offer higher wages so there's no excuses about money bags city when he chooses us.
