I know someone who put £40 on at skybet at 11/4 and it went straight down to 2's. That's how insignificant the transfer betting is !

That seems to be Pep's philosophy, if a player doesn't want to be here, off he goes. & that is sure to be his attitude with Sanchez now.
The fact that City haven't already pulled out of this deal, in public, means they have had no indication from Sanchez, that he has any doubts imo.
I recon if he even mentioned considering Utd, Pep would just tell him to go sign for them.
Agreed and the pressure will all fall on Mou if he signs for them and if it fails to get them more competitive the hierarchy will reach the conclusion Mou is part of the problem not part of the solution.
We want a winger, centre forward and a cb in the summer. All three with immediate starting XI ability. Whether we get Sanchez or not we'll be making huge moves in the summer. There's no chance of us standing still.
A centre forward with immediate starting XI quality?

All the news about him going to the rags seems to be quieter.

Granted Fergy was probably a more astute manager than his opposition in the main during a fair chunk of his time at Manure but in the main the had well balanced sides with a never say die attitude as well which goes a long way to continued success.
Other than their keeper who was bought in during Fergie's reign anyway have they actually bought in a player who you honestly say has been a raging success sine he left?
Moyes and Louie were left high and dry on the transfer front so were bound to fall well short whereas Mou has been given his every wish so far and will continue to be accommodated yet we all know he will leave the club within the next 18 months.
Utd have struggled since City became competitive. That one season where they had RVP & Mancini had a breakdown, masks a long period of decline.
If Bob had kept his shit together, we would have won it that season as well & the picture would be clear, that this started under Ferguson, not Moyes.
In spite of changing managers, & short term fluctuations, we have had a long term target of what we want to be, & how we want to do it.
This Sanchez situation is a perfect example of that, in action. We plan for a player, put it all in motion, & they jump in at the last minute, to try & fuck it up, when we are already 15 points clear at the top of the table & don't even need him.
What they should be worried about, is beating us to whatever we are planning for 2020, not reacting to what we've already done, in 2017.

Yep... make of that what you will!

It's hard to gauge whether City are bluffing at this stage.
Soriano has been driving this and was clearly offended by how Arsenal conducted themselves back on transfer deadline day, perhaps even making him look stupid in front of Pep and the hierarchy?
He was crystal clear in December that we would be waiting until next summer to get Sanchez on a free transfer, content in the knowledge he wants to play for Pep.
That position clearly changed, whether that be down to Jesus' injury, or just the club feeling we now stand on the precipice of a potentially historic campaign
I'm not usually one for conspiracy theories in the main, as I am privy to United's genuine interest, but what had changed for Sanchez between knowing we were prepared to wait until the summer (last week in December) and just three weeks later, his supposed insistence that he must get away from Arsenal this window, even to the detriment of a £25m pay day as a free transfer, can it really be that insufferable for him at the Emirates?
Just a theory, but there is a chance our position is orchestrated between City and Sanchez, to exact ultimate payback over Arsenal, with the added bonus of embarrassing United as the stalking horse?
The media have been briefed twice now from upstairs, both were messages that have contradicted each other, in terms of any type of deal in January.
It will be interesting to see how angered Pep would be with both the player and City if our bluff is called on the final day.
The smooze is clearly on from Mourinho, the money isn't an issue, so it still comes down to whether Sanchez doesn't hold up his end.

So Aguero basically in his last or 2nd last year?
Winger makes sense to compete with sterling + Sané as Bernardo into midfield
CB 100%
DM 100%
So if we do get Sanchez, which position will the club cross off the list - winger or CF ? I guess my question is how does the club see Sanchez - as a winger or a CF? Or do you mean to say that even if we sign Sanchez in Jan, the club will still go for those 3 positions in the summer? Also, since you mentioned starting quality and CB, does this mean that the Evans deal is on the backburner? Because if we get Evans, then we'll have Ota, Stones, Kompany, Evans and Mangala. And if we want another CB in the summer, then we would have to offload both Mangala and Kompany.We want a winger, centre forward and a cb in the summer. All three with immediate starting XI ability. Whether we get Sanchez or not we'll be making huge moves in the summer. There's no chance of us standing still.
