IF we don't sign Sanchez, I for one will be disappointed in fact I'd be gutted. Hopefully we wont see post after post suddenly claiming he's shit and we didn't want him anyway, he's a mercenary etc etc.
We did want him, and as a fan I'd have loved him here. I won't be slating him. He's a professional footballer, he doesn't support City. He's entitled to play for whichever team he chooses, just like when we were signing players after the Takeover, Adebayour, Tevez, Bellemy, Barry all got tons of abuse for coming here. Dickhead supporters from all clubs giving it out about money. Even Palace fans were at it with their shit banners lets not forget. We didn't sign mercenaries, we signed professional footballers. This isn't personal for Sanchez, it's his career and none of us would turn down a hefty pay rise to change job so fair play to him for screwing the Rags over - if he goes there!
United have as a club become what their fans once mocked, I won't become what their fans once were - whinging about choosing money over trophies. He chooses them so be it, he isn't insulting us or the club, for him it's business.
On the positive side, this isn't a 'biggest cock' competition, and if MCFC don't think the deal is right then that's fine with me. As pointed out, huge transfer fee, agents fee, wages all for a player that would be available free at the end of the season so this isn't a huge Coup for Utd.
They can't spin it any way on this, one of their 'LegEnds' has stated publicly that Sancez is better off with us. We chose not to pursue this, no 'victory' for them at all.
