Alexis Sanchez

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

Would earn more than Silva, De Bruyne, Aguero at those figures. Two figureheads of the club since 2010/11 and the current player of the year who will be one the greats if he isnt already.

City absolutely right not to pay those figures.

It was always a case of hoping Sanchez would turn them down and take the lower wage. Money does talk.

The market has moved on since Kev signed mate...Once Kev signs a new deal, I'd be surprised if he isnt far off what Sanchez getting, if you include bonus etc...If you factor in Sanchez 30-35mil transfer fee and his wages, its still going to be close to paying 80mil on another forward (less talented) in the summer. Big mistake....

That would strengthen us in January and be available for so little? Not a chance.

400k a week isn't little albeit the transfer fee is.

The disruption to players like Sterling and KDB wouldn't be worth it.

Food for thought there.

If don't understand or analyse football

Why should he be crawling? Is he a boyhood City fan?

Cash is king, loyalty means fuck all in the game.

Wake up and smell the coffee.

No, if he wants cash, he can fuck off.

If he wants football, he can sign for City.

Might not just be about January though, maybe he's eyeing up someone much younger for the long term, so City might have said if he's going to cost £50m+ we might as well spend £100m on ...

Honestly..I think we are letting our past experience with this transfer affect our future judgement. The overall package is very expensive but is still good value for a world class player.

It's not that he's off to United it's that he isn't coming here and he would have been a great buy.

To me we could have got VVD and Sanchez in the last two windows and we haven't got either. We could have purchased from an unparalleled position of strength but have some how managed to mess this up and handed them to our rivals while we mull over Evans.

Conte was right when he said that other teams must stop us from getting these two players as we would be unstoppable.

Just hoping we have something else planned. Ironic that United are the money team and we are the trophy team...how times change.

Mistake in my book.

disappointing but if he would rather the money then he is not for us

Sam from Goal is spot on......if we have to go and spend 80-100mil on another forward in the summer, this makes no sense.

   If City are willing to let Sanchez join United due to the price of the total package (which would be about £40m in fees, plus wages which were agreed) then they must be thinking of their perception of value, rather than cost. They’ll do very well to find a cheaper alternative.

   And by value versus cost I mean this: they must have decided it’s not ‘worth’ paying £40m-odd to Arsenal and agent, but it is worth paying £100m at least for another player (insert your own names). That, or simply they’ve been caught on the hop and have absolutely no say in it.

Have to think about the long haul though.

Do we NEED him? We need to be perceived as strong, tough, principled negoatiators otherwise it'll be an extra £20m onto every single transfer thereafter.

We got Complacent....(still love those Blues tho!;)
