Alexis Sanchez

[manimanc]

yet here we sit 15 points clear and 30 wins form 33 games this season.

Im not saying it doesn't hurt to lose a player but its hardly a disaster for us either is it?

+1

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.

Stop talking sense mate. You'll be written off as a rag if you aren't careful.

Looks like we thought we were the only game in town and thus thought we could play hardball with Arsenal. United saw a chink of light and drove a bus through it.
Alexis now has a Messi like offer on the table.

Maybe we grew cold on Alexis after the start we have had. Then warmed up a bit with Gabs injury. He is a defining signing for them. But wouldn't be for us.

Think we have made a mistake not getting this done before United's desperation entered the scene.

Pep is hardly going to be welcoming of a player who goes back on his word.... I'm sure the spin will be that Arsenal gave him no choice....

Im still sat here thinking there is no way a fee and personal trms have been agreed with the rags without this being all over the news and official given we play later today, no way.

Truth. Everyone taking shots in the dark at the moment.

We've really missed Alves though...

Not getting Sanchez in the summer has screwed us over though.......

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

Yeah big Sam really ripping it up

If he does come to us it will be an absolutely massive!!!! Turning point for the club! Comes for less money, less wages but more chance of winning trophies! I never thought I would see the day!!

MCFC OK

Left out of squad to play Bournemouth. We lose at Anfield and unveiled as a United player tonight. Can see it.

I think that is true to an extent but it is nowhere near the same as someone at the same club earning 400k. There are already players at united earning far more as a basic wage than City players currently but we have still been able to keep our wage structure the way we want it and use performance bonuses rather than offer basic wages as high as united's.

But no agent is going to come in and demand to a club that they get £400,000 a week. They will demand an overall financial package and it will be up to the club to decide how they pay it. Whether that is in easy to achieve bonuses or a bigger signing on fee, that will all add to the overall deal. The rumoured KDB signing on fee for his new deal is staggering and we already own him!

I think that the weekly wage is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to players finances. It also wouldn't be difficult to pay any player the package Sanchez wants whilst getting them to accept a wage of around £200,000 a week.
