Alexis Sanchez

[blue b4 the moon]

Why the hell would the rags even want a player that clearly favoured us? I wouldn’t want us to sign a player who would rather play for the scum.

Come on bud, we all know they have no shame

So City's position is yes, we would really like Sanchez but no, we won't be fucked around by agents. Seems reasonable to me.

This has to be coming from united so they can claim that it was a straight choice and he chose them

I suspect, anyhow, Pep places a lot on integrity and someone's word?

This - I'd wager in Pep's eyes it says a lot about how someone will be as a squad member if he is reneging on his word before even joining.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

If we go back we must not piss about with wages and instead up his signing bonus.

One thing all this suggests is that City feel we need another goalscorer if we are to maximize our potential this season.

If Kun gets a bad injury it heaps a lot of pressure on GJ. Ideally we would have someone who could step in from the youth setup.

As much as we need him/want him here if the numbers rumoured are true then this would cause major disruptions with ongoing wage policy and no doubt cause issues with other players further down the line.

For this reason, we walk away let him join another club and reinforce in the summer.

Id say the league and a domestic cup are nailed on this year and Sanchez would've really pushed our ECL campaign but still not worth the potential disruption.

Ah well...

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

City refused to raise personal terms.

Still, a good stick to tar City with if Sanchez joins United and they can say he could have earned the same at the Etihad.

Bullshit.

Agree with this.

Because he said he wanted to play for Pep and had agreed the wages, which is why Soriano would also not budge from the supposed offer of £20m.

KDB has three years left on his deal, we are simply in the process of acknowledging him as a our best player.

If I were him and we gave Sanchez £400k per week, he would do well to sit tight and not even renew if City refused to even top that.

More importantly Tolmie do you still believe we will lose 3 games this season , I figure you had us down for a loss on Sunday.

I am sure both us of us would be very pleased if we were to lose 2 of our remaining 15 games.
