It has to be this. Whilst any city fan would want Sanchez to play for us, I don't think we the fans or the club are showing signs of being desperate to sign him at any price, under any circumstances. If he comes fine, if he doesn't fine. We see the Alves situation being dragged up as a parallel to what is happening here, and maybe it is, but we have adapted and flourished without him. Similarly if Sanchez comes then we have a very good addition to our squad, if he doesn't then we carry on to the end of the season and bring in a young up and coming striker to partner Jesus in the long term and continue to rely on Kun to score the goals in the meantime while the new guy beds in and comes up to speed, much as Jesus is now. Sane, Sterling and Bernardo will continue to develop and become world class while youngsters from the academy and elsewhere will follow them to maintain the quality of the squad.
Personally I prefer us not to pander to any one player at the expense of team stability, we have a great spirit in the squad, which is for me, a great part of our success and that has to be maintained at any cost.
All in all, not bothered if he comes or if he doesn't, all it will mean is that our transfer strategy will have to be tweaked to accommodate the changed circumstances come the summer.

Well said blue

There’s some validity in flapping this time mate, but I’m of the opinion we know what we’re doing, either way it’ll be right.

 

[Claytop]

Coz he basically confirmed their in for him

Its Mourinho ffs, they could have not even spoken to Sanchez or his agent and he'd come out with that. There's no reason for him to dismiss anything, not whilst he's still an Arsenal player.

So if Sanchez does end up at United,that will open up a chances for us to sign someone exciting and young in attack.Yes price will be high but I will be excited for that player.
I expect Pep to deliver in summer

 

[come-on-barney]

Nah someone’s fucked up here, mate Big style.

The way things are going at the moment I really wish they would fuck up some more!

No matter if Arsenal agree a price with United, if Sanchez wants to come to City he will stay at Arsenal. There's nothing Wenger or Arsenal can do about that. The only issue is whether or not Sanchez can stick another 5 months out at Arsenal or not?

City's brief to the press does sound like a club increasingly confident that Alexis Sanchez' mind is still set on joining Pep Guardiola.

Due to this, City's hand is significantly stronger than any other party in this deal (baring Sanchez). Arsenal can't force Sanchez upon United, United cannot convince Sanchez without the exception of enormous fees. It totally stinks of revenge upon Arsenal for their sh*thousery in August and u-turning on their word and that's probably why they won't up their value.

City want Sanchez, Sanchez wants City. Arsenal have no hand on the table and will eventually bow. Martin Blackburn, Sam Lee, James Robson and Jonathan Smith all believe he will still end up at City once the games have ceased.

Arsenal agreeing a deal for a replacement is probably where this move takes a further step before they bow down.

Milner?????

He did his full contract doesn't owe City anything. He chose the Scousers over a new deal he's won fuck all since. Move on he may have been leading us on but not a mercenary.

Nah,hes a **** pal.Appreciate your thoughts though.
