Alexis Sanchez

[BlueMoonz1977]

In time another forward will become available, and when they do, hopefully we'll be grateful that we did not move for Sanchez. It's not an easy argument to win when you say you don't want Sanchez, but you want some hypothetical younger striker who has their best years in front of them

Most definately..especially in a world cup year as well.

Young world class striker - no way anything under 150. Things have changed after Neymar deal and they are not getting cheaper. This was a very good deal if we had negotiated a bit rather than making a stand.

Maybe so, but the 60m saved in what looks like being spent on sanchez incl fee’s etc, can be used towards this striker/forward along eith any outgoings

Game over. His rag interview is being edited as we speak all ready for tomorrow. Gutted tbh. Felt we needed him.

We got one for £27m not too long ago, the value is there if we scout instead of signing names.

That was a long time ago considering the deals which changed the transfer market after that of Neymar and Coutinho or VVD. Yes maybe we might land a great talent for cheap but probability is getting lower, there are a lot of desperate clubs with lot of money from the TV deals and they will outbid you if you just get stuck on talent coming here purely because of coach.

Not only that, any player we want close to the end of his contract, yeah you can have him, 60 mil plus the agent's fee.

It's the agent's fees that worry me tbh, those cuts across the road have Mendes running their transfer business and it wouldn't surprise me if he got a sweetener out of any Sanchez deal, I prefer Txiki.

Indeed. Some seem to think we have to buy the very best. There are plenty who are not far off world class level and others who could reach world class level with Guardiola as manager.

I'd have been happier if we won today, or at least taken a point. The problem at the moment is that there isn't a realistic forward target available.

But I think players like Kane or Hazard may become available sooner than we might think. I'm sure a couple of stars will make themselves known in the World Cup too. Players we know nothing about now. Buying on the strengths of World Cups is always dangerous, but City will have the football world at our feet for the short term at least and we can buy the best. Sanchez whilst good, was not at his best, and I objected to buying a player who I thought had his best years behind him,however for the moment I can not suggest an alternative. But I think we'll know it when we see it.

Not sure yet that Sanchez deal is over. There could be more twists.

Twist and shout mate.

The utd fans will be in their element gobbing off and bragging, they haven't had a chance all season poor loves to shout the odds at us about anything, it must be killing them.
And now they will be coming out the woodwork and crowing that they've possibly got sanchez.
I'll just point to the top of the table....end of discussion.

Is the correct response : )

Yeah well for the £134m the rags have supposedly put together to sign Sanchez when everything is added in, I reckon we should be able to sort something out.
