Alexis Sanchez

[kippaxblue76]

Yeah but not in a 2 up 2 down terrace!

Milner does not have an agent as such,he lets the FA or one of the governing bodies act for him, some fresh regulations on agents are long overdue.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

He shouldn’t be on half of what De Bruyne earns.

Exactly. Its been handled brilliantly by us, pressure on Sanchez now. Money or success...hopefully.

It's over.

Quite right too at £350K per week. You would have to be desperate to pay that.

Pep Guardiola, the City head coach, met with his director of football, Txiki Begiristain, and Ferran Soriano, the club’s chief executive, today to discuss Sánchez’s transfer.

City are yet to pull the plug on the Sánchez deal, but their interest has waned somewhat in recent days because they are unwilling to meet the Chilean’s wage demands. Sánchez is understood to be asking for about £350,000 per week.

It doesn't mention the outcome of today's meeting, just says they did meet so this news could have been news from yesterday.

Oh, and a few people (acting as ITKs or posting in good faith) have said there's rumblings at the club right now.

Basically, same as last night and no fu**er has a clue. Good evening, sir.

Has Txixi, Sorano and Pep had too many bottles of claret?

 

[skiddypants]

Will he be doing kickups pre kick-off tonight?
Just like Michael Knighton then not sign for em!

Just letting the world know he’s gone for the money.

Game over

From Times;
Manchester City are refusing to pay Alexis Sánchez £350,000 per week as that figure would eclipse the wage of some of their stars, including Kevin de Bruyne, and could cause unrest within their squad.

City had been favourites to sign Sánchez after coming close to buying him for £60 million last summer, but Manchester United have now emerged as favourites to snare the Arsenal forward this month.

Pep Guardiola, the City head coach, met with his director of football, Txiki Begiristain, and Ferran Soriano, the club’s chief executive, today to discuss Sánchez’s transfer.

City are yet to pull the plug on the Sánchez deal, but their interest has waned somewhat in recent days because they are unwilling to meet the Chilean’s wage demands. Sánchez is understood to be asking for about £350,000 per week.

United are willing to agree to a figure near that sum, but City are not because of fears over the potential dressing room upset it could cause.

If City were to agree to Sánchez’s wage demands, they would be making him the top earner at the club and he would earn more than the likes of De Bruyne, who has been instrumental in the club’s near faultless Premier League campaign.

The Belgian playmaker is the favourite to win the PFA Player of the Year award after registering nine assists and scoring six goals in 23 Premier League appearances this season. City are ready to reward De Bruyne for his excellent season with a new contract thought to be worth a minimum of £220,000 per week. With image rights and a signing on-fee, he will earn about £280,000 per week. Only when all his bonuses are met would De Bruyne earn the £350,000 per week Sánchez is demanding.

There is no doubt at City about Sánchez’s talents. They have been monitoring the forward for over a year and Guardiola knows first hand about the Chilean’s abilities having coached him for a season at Barcelona.

But disrupting the harmony of what is a tight-knit squad is of concern to the City hierarchy. They feel that if Sánchez wanted to play for Guardiola strongly enough, he would move to the Etihad Stadium either now or in the summer regardless of what wages City were offering.

United are ready to offer Sánchez their iconic No 7 shirt as part of their attempt to woo the forward, who wears that number for Arsenal. Cristiano Ronaldo, Bryan Robson, George Best, David Beckham and Eric Cantona also wore the United No 7.

Raheem Sterling wears seven for City, but the No 9 shirt, which Sánchez wore at Barcelona, is available.

TBH, anyone could write that from what has been posted on here these last weeks. Again the press using Understood to mask the "we dont actually know what is being negotiated"

 

[chase of spades]

You having a laugh??

He’s the biggest WUM going and kicks people out of his group if they dare to question him.

This.. reckons he’s itk ..although everything he says,people knew before anyway via other media outlets. And yeah he just tries to belittle people and bully them if they have an opinion.

 

[mosssideblue]

It's over.

Can you post the picture of him holding the red shirt to confirm please
