Alexis Sanchez

[tekki333]

We missed a trick here.
He is world class. Adds something great to the team, is 29 not 39!

And 39 is not 49!
Gee, where does this wisdom come from?
Fact is he does much worse than last season. He is never a 400k/week player. Thats the money you pay for an absolute game changer. How many titles did he win for Arsenal? How did he do in the CL? He is far from being a decisive factor.

He will improve the Rags which makes me want to throw up!

For half a season maybe. He will decline in form. Especially after he got his last big paycheck.

Why would signing sanchez damage the teams future success?

Sorry for the delay, just finished work Armaan.

It's not Sanchez directly who would damage our chances of future success, he is a quality player, it's the cash we'd have to pay for him now that the money bags scum have got involved. His wages would have to be somewhere on par and no doubt a four year contract.

I think we are better off looking at the bigger picture and investing in the future, at 30 he'll need replacing in another year or two.

Look at this way, a quality player has just gone to the rags, who really wanted to come to us.....

Surely there is time for a Re-hijack to shoot them down at the last minute ?? I just can't see Pep allowing this, strengthening them..

Any chance we will be in for Isco again and add more 4000 pages to that thread ...we will atleast have disco gifs

If he really did have his heart set on Pep then I bet he had a face like a slapped arse when his agent told him we're not going to sign him with his new demands.

Ah well; good luck to him, if someone offered me £400,000 a week when turning 30 I'd snap their hand off. Shame though as I'd have really liked some fresh eager legs but what can you do?

Personally I'm happy with the club handling it like they have. The two manchester clubs have sent out two very different messages;
united's being - please, please sign for us we'll pay anything and everything to remain relevent
City's being - changing the goal posts? Okay fuck you we will not be made fools of.

I wonder which will work in the long term we'll being of the club...

 

[Petetheblu]

Even if they dug up George best they wouldn't catch us.

We're in great hands.

Think it's gone. MUEN already reporting that both pep and club have come to terms not getting Sanchez as the right option and that the board fully supports pep with the money to buy a quality attacker this summer.

Better option to me personally. We dont know what the future holds for Sanchez's fitness but sooner or later he will lose his pace and turns.

 

[Dax777]

Unfortunate. But we move in. Marvin at least would be happy.

We certainly need more quality up front but DM/ and 2 positions in defence are more of a priority now.

Again we saw with Aguerro not at his sharpest and Jesus still unavailable we were still able to score three goals at a place where the home side had conceded 4 in total in 11 previous homes games.

The club would know this hence cooling off on Sanchez is little surprise to me.

Losing Delph for a while is going to stretch our back four no end as those left are not up to speed yet and vulnerable to sides who press especially.

If we had Mendy fit I am sure we would be fine but our injury situation is getting to the stage where we need a replacement to sure up the title in the weeks to come.

In the summer we have to replace Yaya , VK and look at longer term replacements for Kun and Ferny.

A player we were prepared to make our record signing 5 months ago the rags are getting fer 20m less...absolutely fuckin mind boggling to me that. Somebody explain to me who we can get for the money they're paying for a player of that proven quality and I'll understand what the fuck we're playing at.
