Alexis Sanchez

[bondsman]

Bet he has to invest part of the fee in dabbing lessons otherwise he won’t cut it with his new team mates

If it was the other way around and we were the ones guzumping them and paying the high fees... would you care about the money?

Or would you just be happy that you got a quality player?

Since FFP too many fans are turning into quasi-accountants who celebrate a balance sheet.

Only when it suits. Nobody gives a shit about the money when we sign someone. As soon as we don't sign someone, it's great that the club has taken a stand. When we spunk £80m on someone in the summer with no Prem experience, everyone will be delighted again.

£400 grand a week for someone who will be 30 next year, not bad if you can get it, won't compensate for the trophies he's going to miss out on though.

What's all this not committed 100% stuff. If another team comes in for you and a massive pay rise you'd consider it no? Not every player that moves only has one option their heart is set on?

Good point mate....not sure why people think players only move for romance or desire to play for a team. For most its a job that pays very well and its Sanchez/his agents job to get the best deal possible. He would have made us better but now he'll make them better...its our job to make us look like the best option! When you understand this is likely his last big payday, its crazy to think we'd expect him to take "alot" less to play for us. All things equal, he'd be a blue but for some reason we wanted him to take millions less to come to us!

I wouldn't care if the price we paid was in line with our valuation. If we paid more than we thought he was worth though I'd be royally pissed off. Paying more for something than you believe it to be worth is really strange behaviour and it would tell me that the wrong people were running the club.

I think Martial would be superb for us tbf

I agree with this. Probably the only player of theirs i would take. Pep would sort him out.

Who knows the reasons but we have briefed the press and taken a stand on this one. It cant be about the transfer fee. Can only be about agents fees and player wages.

We obviously have the means to make these sort of deals when we see fit but in this instance they do not believe we will the get the necessary bang for our buck.

Scholarship fees are insane these days I hear, flipping brexit

I think he’d leave as well. Never looks happy and rarely played in best position.

Hilarious and horrific
