Alexis Sanchez

[Neville Kneville]

If the rumours are true (and it's a big if) that Arsenal have lined up Aubameyang to replace Sanchez who will then be sold to the scum, why don't we just sign Aubameyang and leave both the tarquins and the rags up shit creek? Is Sanchez any better than Aubameyang?

Too much money probably.

Nothing definite. But the tide of rumours/guesswork go to unveiling tomorrow v Stoke. Sam Lee seems to have started to think it is 'gone' so that is suggestive as he has been quite positive before.

No comments from City as yet though. You would expect some distancing when they know it is indeed over.

Thanks pal ..pretty gutted if gone through

I’d take Aubameyang.

Yes. Auba is a very limited yet prolific striker.

We will do the right thing for us and the future NOT buy a player to do over Arsenal. That's fan logic. Not how our table topping record breaking side is run.

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

And you would have done what exactly ?

Paid the 35mil asking price....(seeing as we were willing to offer 60mil only 5 months ago) Transfer window has been open 14 days and were still sat playing poker with our rumoured 20mil offer..The rags "serious" interest only seems to have started in the last week after it became clear Sanchez wanted to move now and not wait for the Summer. We didnt seem to want to move from that 20mil offer believing he only wanted us....I dont think it takes a brain surgeon to see, once Sanchez's agent knew we werent willing to meet Arsenal's valuation, he got on the phone looking for the best possible deal elsewhere, to make the move happen....

Spot on. We bring in to cover our weaknesses not try and screw another team. If the two happen simultaneously great. The most important thing is the future of the club.

Who can't hear alarm clocks apparently.

It`s not just £35 million though. The agent apparently wants a further £10 million fee, and a £15 million signing on fee.

Man up mate. Get your city scarf round your neck, puff that chest out and hold your head up high. The press have waited for this for months, stand back and laugh at the hysteria from all concerned.
Take it all mate, embrace it and see how they will all be basking in the dippers cup final celebrations.
Then look at the table and have a little chuckle to yourself
Fuck em.

I'll quite happily avoid the fanfare secure in the knowledge we're in safe hands.
