Alexis Sanchez

[balotelli's back pocket]

I just thought of something. What if we stole Malcom from arsenal, meaning they'll refuse to sell Sanchez to United?

Talk about 3 birds one stone.

Sure Malcolm would be thrilled by the idea

HAHAHAHA fuck off mystic meg :-)

Shame I won't be able to reply later with 'told you so' because cry babies like you will be demanding a ban.

So in the summer when Pep wants another forward. if we want anyone with Sanchez quality or potential. What will that cost us? 100m+?

Maybe but any player we are targeting for that price will also have at least 5 more years in their legs.

£35m on a four year deal plus £400k per week means wages plus amortisation per year of £29.5m per year.

That’s nearly double the wages plus amortisation of KDB.

You do realise that the £400k wages only came up once the rags had thrown their hat in the ring don't you? If we'd got this done quickly instead of trying to make a point to Arsenal about the fee he'd have signed for what we offered in summer.

Our current front players are out performing Alexis.

 

[Neville Kneville]

If he goes there for more money, I assume Pep will be upset with Sanchez not Txiki. Pep's no fool, he's worked hard to get this squad as tight as it is, he will surely understand it's more complex overall than just chucking huge sums at one player.

I can't believe how so many of our fans have so little respect for the club, & what we have acheived, that they think we should go begging a player to sign for us, because fucking Utd come in with more money.

A 29 year old 'cheap' short term, signing, becomes a huge transfer deal, because he doesn't honour his word & we are supposed to step in & ask him to change his mind ?

No fucking chance.

@tolmie's hairdoo any news?

Some very knowledgable people on this thread continually dismiss the obvious as flapping, it’s been clear since Friday that the rags were balls deep for him, we’d made it clear we had a limit and that was that.
When wenger said no bidding war he meant it, coz we ain’t getting involved.
When peg said you have to try and sign world class players he meant it.
If we expect pep to stay for many years further we’d better mean it to.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Yeah but are the rags shouting about it? All I see is Arsenal journos.

Which lends credence to the idea that this is Arsenal playing games...

Oh dear, City's greatest fan speaks again.
Two disappointments coming today.

What’s the two disappointments ?
