He guarantees us fuck all.
Seeing as his family have arrived in London, it sure looks like he is off soon. He ain't hanging about.
We all know that Sanchez is a Man City player for the taking. We have Pep, we play the beautiful football and we are on course to win trophies. Every single thing points towards Man City.
The only option Utd have of securing him is throwing a shit load of money at Sanchez and his agent. As someone has already mentioned, their transfer policy is a very scatter gun like approach, but they have to spend silly money to keep selling the Man Utd dream that they can get back to the big time like the Fergie days.
This is a player who will literally catapult us to more trophies and like I said, guarentee us the league for the next few seasons. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet to keep yourselves way ahead of the chasing pack. Barcelona and Monaco pulled PSG's pants down for Neymar and Mbappe, but would you have both players at City? I certainly would. If it wins them a Champions league then they will be laughing all the way to the bank and will prove very sound investments. They have already taken them up a level as a club this season anyway.
If we miss out on Sanchez, who do you realistically think we could get for 25-30m as good as him? There is nobody.
I guarantee you now, if City miss out on Sanchez, we won't even go in for another attacking player because we simply won't be able to afford one as well as budgeting on a CB and a CM. We will be looking at spending at least 70m on a top top player in Sanchez' position, at the bare minimum. If we do miss out on not paying the premium on Sanchez and he joins them rag bastards, we will have simply dropped as big of a clanger as when Utd nabbed RVP and Chelsea nabbed Hazard from under our noses.
This market now is ruthless, we have to grasp this Sanchez opportunity with both hands or we will end up pricing ourselves out for other players in that position.
So that means you'd be willing to pay 69.9M for Sanchez. And of course, having our ass handed to us by a leverage-less Arsenal won't at all impact what we pay for the subsequent CM and CB we need, right? Of course it will.
If he wants City, he's coming. Period. End of. If we know that's the case, why would we let Arsenal dictate terms? If that isn't true, and he is playing highest bidder, then I don't care if we get him or not, because he wouldn't be coming to win things or for Pep; he's be coming because we paid the most.
I don't think we need another attacker as much as other positions. I'd rather overspend on what we DO need -- the CB and CM you reference, especially the CM.
Your fear is of the rags. Would you feel the same if this was Bayern chasing him or PSG? I'm not afraid of them, with or without Sanchez. They are two years behind us, minimum.
We would definitely have a better chance of winning the champions league and the next few leagues with him in our squad than without him.
If he went to Utd, he definitely guarentees them closing the gap on City going into next season.
He is World class.

Thought the outcome of that after a lot of Bluemoon sleuthing was that it was just a random guy who looked a bit like his brother?
Money shouts in today's game. Did you honestly expect Neymar to sign for PSG at the start of the season? I didn't.
It does nothing of the sort. Your "guarantee" pronouncements are tiresome, and unprovable.
Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure 'we' found out it wasn't him...Really? Looked a lot like his brother. Also he was pictured with club officials.
FFS PSG can win CL, and is going to always have a massive chance to win their league, plus they can pay huge.
Can you say the same for Utd?
