Alexis Sanchez

[remember arthur mann]

Not sure what you are moaning about. Playing the best football weve ever seen. Just enjoy it.
Like the man sat behind me who at 5-0 up against liverpool moaned that we dont leave anyone up at corners

Was it Pep ?

They are fools if they do as the rags are their rivals not us. They could quite easily finish above them but if they sell them Sanchez you can kiss that goodbye

Looks like they never learned anything from RVP

The fall back position we accuse others of.

Well do you not think we would have a good chance of signing him right now, if we offered more money than Utd ?

In the transfer business it's not normal to say "we are only offering just over half of what you want and we won't be increasing our offer"
that was a huge and unnecessary gamble and has failed spectacularly.
We believed we had him wrapped up and he wouldn't go elsewhere, but we forced his camp into a corner, that opened the door to United.

I assume the club decided on what he was worth. That would take into account the fee, his wages, agents commission, signing bonus, everything.

And after deciding on that value they made an offer, and won't go above that. I don't see how we as fans can complain about that when they've shown how much they're prepared to spend if they deem it worth it.

Lets just consider that IF the rumoured figures quoted are correct then the rags will be paying:

£35 Million fee.
£15 million signing on fee.
£10 million agent fee.

£350 - £400k a week wages.

All of this to get a player put of contract in 4 months.

In this context I can understand exactly why we would not stump up.

THIS!!! it's not fucking difficult to work out is it flappers

Bet he gets a 5 year deal too making it a £164m deal.

In a world where Lemar is valued at 90mil plus wages....crazy to think, Pep wants a player, said player is available for a 3rd of what Lemar is valued at, we already agreed terms with said player but wouldnt offer the 30-35mil asking price that Arsenal were asking.....which allowed those across town to get the foot in the door. Whether right or wrong to meet those demands, Pep wanted him and felt we need him. However we want to turn it, if he signs for the rags, we've gone from a place of strength, to letting our guy get away!

We all have opinions on what is best for the club but as far as I'm concerned..Pep wanted him and asked the money men to get it done.

Liverpool are ready to pay £60m for Thomas Lemar, but Monaco have set a £90m asking price for the France international. (Source: Sunday Times)

But perhaps he didn't want him at " any price " ?

How come we cannot afford him if we were rumoured to have put in an offer for Mbappe in the Summer for over 100m ...I think we can afford him but wont pay agents fees
