Alexis Sanchez

“Sánchez is part of the Mkhi deal, not the other way around." -Mino Raiola

Interesting quote

That sounds like bollox to me. It was the Sanchez deal that came first and Micky is the make weight. There wasn't a murmur about Micky to Arsenal before they made a bid for Sanchez.

 

[Mr HJ]

Don't really care what sort of deal Arsenal and United cook up, one thing for certain Utd will be paying a lot of money for a 29 year old with little onward value. I am just really thankful that Pep and the senior figures at the club put a high value on dressing room harmony above a short term fix that held no guarantees of making a huge difference. Sanchez is undoubtably a quality player but what could have happened is him causing a rift. It seems to me that the squad are 100% together and enjoy both playing and training with each other. Yes he could have helped us but looking at the fixtures it is highly unlikely we will not win the league and possibly a cup this year which would count as a successful campaign.

I recall Pep saying he wants younger players who can be part of the future so I look forward to us signing a couple more and I don't worry if it only happens in the summer. We haven't really seen the best from Bernardo and Ilkay so there is still room for improvement already. Only concern is left back but I'm sure Pep and his team will have a plan that works until Mendy is fit.

Having said all that it would not surprise me if a signing no-one has considered walks through the doors before month end.

If anything it is Txiki and to an extent Pep who know f**k all about how embassing this whole saga looks on our clubs (just when we are finally winning the respect of pundits and other fans) as well as how much strength in depth we need to win the f**king Premier League, let alone the f**king Cups and and the f**king Champions League.

I mean for f**k sake this is not f**king La Liga where the big teams take it easy when it comes to beating anybody that is not Madrid (both clubs) or Barcelona and thus save their energy for the Champions League. This is the f**king Premier League where every team is going to give you a hard time and is out to get you. There is a good reason why we are the few sides to have done this well in the league to date, which also the same reason why we have been strugging to beat great and legendary teams such as Huddersfield, Southampton, West Ham, Crystal Palace, Leicester City, Wolves, West Brom and Bristol City (1) while it is also the same reason why we lost to Liverpool (2)

(1) With all due respect for those clubs, we should be convincingly beating all of them, after all we are no longer a mid table side any more.

(2) A team which has no defence, a lack of quality defenders and a thin (if excellent) attack. Reguardless we should not be losing to teams such as them.



Nope, just a passionate city fan who is telling the cold hard truth about how f**king hard it is to reach the f**king top, especially when every other clubs wants to keep you down whatever the cost.



If you are going to criticise what I have written here, it would be nice to here what exactly you think about each of the points I have made rather than use "In Txiki I trust" justification. I mean lets face it no one player, manager, executive or owner is above criticism and/or accountablity (especially when they f**k up in a siutation such as this one), now matter how good overall they are in the job (1).

Otherwise you end up with badly run clubs like ourselves in the past, Blackpool, Coventry, Leeds, Newcastle United, Arsenal and Manchester United.

(1) Reguardless of their bottling over this, they still have a very good record overall both here and at Barcelona. However even the best tend to make mistakes...

Telling Txiki & Pep how to compete in more than one competition, absolutely fucking incredible.



I certainly know what club I am at, it is certainly not the Arsenal of the North nor the laughing stock of Manchester. That is why I am moaning so much.

Clown.

stand strong mikiwhatsit,let them all swivel

Miki really needs protection from his agent. This is constructive dismissal. Manu trying to get rid of Miki's £200k/week wage to make room for Sanchez's colossal wages.

Arsenal thinking they can use Miki as a bait for PEA.

Perhaps Tuchel is taking over at Arsenal?

 

[wattle]

He left Barcelona for a team that had won fuck all in 35 years. When he signed he was a mercenary in the sense he came to City solely for the money. If you think otherwise feel free but it would make you quite stupid. Describing the many great moments he has provided doesn't make his motive for joining City any different. I like all the good stuff you raise though with no acknowledgement of him downing tools for 2 years. The cloud he put over the second title win with his summer antics. All the shit he let his agent spout until Pep arrived but that wont play into your post. Yaya will leave a legend, he contributed to many good things at City but yet again that doesn't mean he came to us for anything but the mental wages he signed on.

You say he'll leave a legend and then call him a bad apple. And you call me stupid? And you're proof for all this 'behaviour' is? The Sun, SkySportsNews, MUEN? Look how the other younger players look up to him in the training vids etc on the Website. And why would Pep offer him a new deal for this season? That's more of a true indication to me. I cringe at so called fans being drawn in by the media bullshit that surrounds our club and has done since the takeover. Anyway you can piss off because you called me stupid ;-)

Just got in and 50 more pages suggests nothing has actually happened.

Any actual news/movement on this?

I agree.

However I don’t think Tuchel will take over, they’re signing a load of Dortmund players because Arsenal got Dortmund’s chief scout.
