Alexis Sanchez

[p.taker]

I imagine, to be fair, that most if not all reported wages for Premier League players are after tax.

I don't think that is the case at all.

Just remembered that Sanchez/agent was asking for outlandish money in the summer from PSG and Bayern, somewhere around 300k per week. I think everyone thought he was doing this knowing it was not acceptable to those teams, thus leaving him free to come to us at 200+ per week in January or the summer. Now it's 500k, a ridiculous amount for a player of his stature, he is no Ronaldo or Messi,and I think the rags have been well and truly mugged.
I have no doubt he will improve the rags but can he suddenly up his game? He's been pretty average so far this season, I'm sure the Arsenal fans will be even more pissed off if he does (not that it will bother him).

There will be the usual fanfare if/when he signs but he has basically been able to mug them because they are so desperate. A strange way to start a relationship with one's new employer.

There was a post on here with a German journalist (I assume) commenting in the press today that Bayern pulled out because they had similar extreme demands from both Sanchez and his agent and were immediately deterred like City as they were regarded as excessive.

I’m too old to be celebrating transfers. Who does?

I doubt your old, and your username suggests you do, rag.

Matt Law eh? Anyone more reliable and not an unofficial Chelsea mouthpiece reporting this?

Fuck me ...you are like a turd that we can't flush away no matter how we try

 

[Hamann Pineapple]

are we sure all wages published like when Rooney was on 300k are before tax?

That equates to £520k a week !!!!

All we need now is some friendly journo to publish a cartoon with Gary Neville in a dress asking Sanchez - Mrs Merton Style - So what first attracted you to the millionaire Manchester United offer, Alexis?'

So you believe Walcott has joined Everton on about 60k a week and the reported £110k is before tax?

It's very strange because there is no chance in hell City would pay anything like that amount. Yet he was coming to City.

Perhaps he was taking the piss in summer, asking for stupid money in order to force a move to City, assuming nobody would ever pay it, but Raiola came up with this plan re Mick O Terryan & they found there is a club dumb & desperate enough to actually say 'yes' & are laughing all the way to the bank.

Yes you are probably right.

I wonder though, would he have turned down a chance to live in Paris (g/f is a model) or play for Bayern if they had agreed to his demands.

I am loving all these tears from the opposition fans. It's amazing and it's glorious!

No you daft rag, they are tears of laughter because your desperation in wanting to sign him has led your club to get bent over the barrel. Not just once but twice if you factor in pogbad transfer
