Alexis Sanchez

Benzema

I don't rate Mkhitaryan, especially given the last 5 digits of his name which suggests he's a closet white supremacist ;>)

But, I do think this Real Madrid stuff is bollox

Shame if theMadrid link is bollocks as I think it would give all of us a laugh and it would be interesting to see Benzema in the PL.

But his well groomed and beautiful family arrived in the UK on Saturday?

Depends if they have just entered the argument with all this circus surrounding this farcical situation

Anyone else think city have played this great and it is still very possible he will accept the previous offer that was put out last summer, only using united et Al as a bluff.. interesting to see what happens. He mighnt of had any interest in united at all. at this point i just want him to sign with someone and be all put to bed and we can concentrate on what position s can be strengthened.

To put salary levels in context, what are the highest salaries roughly at the top 6?

Us - Yaya £230k
Manure - pogbad £300k
Chelski - Hazard £200k
Arse - Ozil/Sanchez 140k
Dippers - vvd - £150k
Spuds - Kane -£120k

What gets me is that you get some right greedy bastards like a Neymar, Sanchez etc but at the opposite end why is a Harry Kane content at Spuds, not even a hint of him demanding mega bucks.

The downside of Sanchez’s move, wherever he ends up is that it will force wages up to a level across the board that most clubs/fans could have perceived so quickly. It’s similar to the escalation in transfer fees this past couple of windows.

We will have to bite the bullet and join in sooner rather than later

Either that or the governing bodies will have to introduce salary caps like the NFL did as the old wage structure nearly ruined the game

And the best part is that he could have had a new contract at Arsenal if all he wanted was money. He didn't, he wanted to be part of a team that was challenging for and winning trophies which he knew he couldn't get at Arsenal. Now all he has done is painted himself into a corner whereby either he swallows his pride, eats humble pie and licks up his own spit by crawling back to city on the terms agreed this summer or he goes to them where he will get more money but he will be just as unhappy, as he was at Arsenal or even unhappier because he wont get to play the free flowing football that he loves. The only club that could give him everything he craved, give or take the odd million, was City, unfortunately he got too smart for his own good and fucked it up. All in my opinion, of course.

It’s just too funny.

Said weeks ago that I’d be delighted if we got him but wouldn’t give two fucks if we didn’t, of course he strengthens the scum but pretty sure we will be able to console ourselves with some nice new signings at the right time.

How does Harry scrape by on £120,000 per week? ...lol Sorry but I just don't get greed at this level.

True but at the same time the club aren't totally blameless. They dallied all summer and didn't put the money on the table until it was too late. Hazard, Isco and now Sanchez. We're missing out on world class players because we don't wrap up deals quickly enough.

The problem in the summer was Arsenal. Whether they just fucked up or played us, they said they wouldn’t sell until they had a replacement, then didn’t land one.

Is it our responsibility to sign a Sanchez's replacement for Arsenal.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

I totally agree he may have burnt his bridges here . I would piss myself if he had to stay at Arsenal but that's a long shot

I honestly dont really want him now, that wasnt the case last summer, but this has shown his true colours and greed over everything else we were led to believe

Although I'd go for Benzema over Mkhitaryan, it's not the best option. Benzema is over the top now regularly subbed when he starts. He's 30 now and might do a job for a year or two but no more.
