Alexis Sanchez

Exactly. The rags have loads of money so it’s a deal they were determined not to lose

So do we, and we should do what it takes to keep our foot on their throats while we're in a position of strength. Don't give those bastards a fucking inch.

Okay, so if both clubs offered the exact same fee and package you think he’d go to United? Of course not. The rags offered Arsenal a bigger fee and Sanchez more wages ... more commonly known as Money.

Yes they did. But we’ve obviously decided it’s a short term fix WE don’t need

If he takes the rag shilling I would love to see him in the guard of honour at the etihad on April 7th

If only we had a like button!

Stands still? Seriously?

Yep total bollocks he’s wrote there. Apart from that I agree with the rest of it.

 

[CC1]

Load of bollocks

Why? Try & have a polite & reasonable discussion.

No more than we do but their infrastructure is crumbling. Short term thinking only lasts so long.

Unfortunately every word of this is true, and despite so much being fantastic about City, our seeming unwillingness or lack of bollocks or confidence to go toe to toe in bidding wars is a really annoying and frustrating trait, one we need to overcome in some cases when season changing players become available.

If we really went for it with who we needed we could blow the rags away and it'd really widen the gap not just this season but long term and in terms of demoralising them and their hordes of sheep in the home counties and Asia, some of whom may then invest in City merchandise instead, helping line our pockets for more signings, and ultimately more success.

Missing out on a long term, world class player to them is embarassing and short-sighted. It's been a shit weekend for us. Got to move on and batter Newcastle next week.

Agree with your conclusion, however you can hardly claim that City lack bottle in the transfer mkt. We've still spent hundreds of millions and backed our judgement when many thought we were paying over the odds.

This Summer for example we were in for Mbappe but the money just went too high

 

[NoahCity]

Amazing that we wouldn't pay the extra few million to secure a top player. Could come back to haunt us.

This. Please. However I imagine he will pick up a calf strain in training that week

 

[Benarbia]

If Sergio gets injured we are fooked
