Alexis Sanchez

A hazardesque mistake this by City.

How so? Hazard 22, Sanchez 30 next!

Man Utd right now..

Guardian are explicitly reporting that Sanchez has made up his mind finally -

Alexis Sánchez will not play for Arsenal at Bournemouth on Sunday – the forward has not travelled to the south coast – and the latest indication is that he has come to favour a move to Manchester United over Manchester City. City almost got Sánchez for £60m last summer and they have indicated a willingness to pay £20m for him this month. But United have moved ahead of their cross-town rivals with a more lucrative package and the sense at Arsenal is that Sánchez has had his head turned by it.

If the figures are accurate then it's hard to see him pick us even with pep 400 grand a week is crazy sums for a 29 year old with 6 month's left on his contract Sanchez or not.

400k a week is £1.6m a month.

When we are 3-0 up in April, if Sanchez goes there, I hope the South Stand make him fully aware of his bad decision.

Would have loved to have had a player of his ability come to City because he wanted to, but if that isn't going to happen, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. Maybe we forgot this was football after all and money runs an awful lot of it.
There are holes too big in the United team and club as a whole for him to fill. In fact paying him 400k(!) per week will probably do more damage than good in the long run

So where are you hoping he goes then?

I think we need a striker. If its him, fine, if its not, no problem. As long as there is a plan B.

I literally trust that our bosses will do the right thing. I dont question anything they do anymore

What’s a 29/30 year old?

Slightly older than a 28/29 year old.

If Cross is saying utd then you cant dismiss it.

He may well be on his way to united but it is always worth bearing in mind that there is often an ulterior motive to things Cross says. What he says comes from Arsenal not Sanchez's people. If united have offered Arsenal more as a transfer fee then it is in Arsenal's interest to try to force our hand by pushing this line that he is on the verge of going to them. And if it is ever in Arsenal's interest to report something in a certain way, even if it is not true, then you can bet your life that this **** will have no issue putting it in a national paper.
