Should have been sorted in the summer if we hadn't given arsenal about 8 hours to find a replacement. And, in my opinion, the stance of "we will pay what we think Sanchez is worth" that was quoted by respectable people close to the club..was naive.
Pep wants Sanchez. He wanted to come here. No matter how well we sit currently..it's a set back..and for him to go to them is a disaster. They are now 2/3 top players away from us if they land Sanchez.
This is a blow. If we go on to sign a top player in the summer and he does the business then all is forgotten. But Sanchez will do the business for them unfortunately
Haha, you seriously think we decided at 3pm on transfer deadline day to give Arsenal an offer for Sanchez, Hahahaha, fucking deluded.
If you want to think that then be my guest, no point discussing anything else with you.
Yes Pep wanted him but at a certain price, not one that will destroy the dressing room as it currently is, It's a set back if you think that Aguero and Jesus can't see the season out, if like me you think we've enough up top once Jesus is fit then it's not.
As for doing the business for them, instead of Martial or Rashford you mean? Those two will follow Mourinho's instructions to the letter in tracking back constantly, if you think Sanchez will you're very much mistaken, his dummy will be out very quickly if he's expected to do that.
I've always been of the view that if we get him ok, if not, not arsed, i'd personally like to give Diaz, Foden and a couple of others from the youth set up minutes to see how they get on. Another primadona, talented none the less, isn't what we need imo.
