Alexis Sanchez

[aguero93:20]

Would a sign on fee not get taxed as income? So on a reported £15m sign on fee, ~£7.5m would be lost. What terrible business surely
Or have I got that wrong - not sure how players get around it if they do

It gets taxed if he's paid it as wages as well, still 7.5m in his back pocket.

Paid direct into his bank account in tocopilla???

Anyone else get a slight feeling city might be telling porkies about Gabriel's injury recovery time, to try and use it to strengthen their negotiation position for Sanchez?

Pep is not as fraudalent as Mou i'm a afraid. So no.

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Nope.

Fair enough, not stating it to be what I think but the thought has crossed my mind

The revenge of Bony/Zaba/Mooy/whoever the fuck we've sold to Southampton!

I can’t sleep at night thinking about Bony scoring a hattrick, Zaba battling to hold on to a 3-0 lead, Mooy hitting a screamer in to the far corner in the 94th minute, and Shane Long breaking his 55 match scoreless streak with the last kick of the season to send us to third.

We must GET Sanchez now...

But my united friends told me he was a fraud?

 

[SWP's back]

Maks Cardenas said on the CW pod that its unlikely Sanchez would put in a transfer request because he respects the Arsenal fans / club too much, wants to maintain his reputation at the club. Doubt that would happen

Plus he loses loyalty bonus,...

 

[kinkyblue]

Why do you see him as unsettling the side now and not in summer?

And this was Peps way of saying to Wenger”we aren’t desperate “ so stop messing with the price

What I can't stop laughing at is that IF Sanchez signs for utd their mardarse fans and arsekissing media will paint it as a victory for utd, got one over city and the bigger club wins in the end.....whilst missing out the fact they are trailing us by 15pts :) :) :)

We're safe from that fate at least, Long scored against Palace on the 2nd :)
