Alexis Sanchez

[malg]

How can Alexis betray a manager who he owes no loyalty to? The player has decided on a life decision to take the most money for him and his family. He was doing the same when he was opting for City over Bayern.

To moan about a player being greedy for taking the highest paying deal, when all your players play for you because they took the highest paying deal is a bit of a glass house your living in fella

You're..........thick twat.

I think a lot of football supporters beyond City have this all about the money thing over City. In the early years after the takeover that was fair comment as we had to spend above the odds to catch up to the rest who had been doing it for years.

But we have now made a shift in emphasis to only wanting players who want to come for what we deem a fair wage.

That is a shock to the world of football where it has always been about money and outdoing one another.

We seem to have concluded that there is another way.

It is not just over this transfer we changed the strategy over deals for players a while ago to reward success and performance rather than just buy it in.

Perhaps that is not well understood beyond City as yet.

I am not moaning about it. I am applauding our manager and club for having the integrity to reject someone who goes back on his word for more money.

City could have paid that had we chosen. We rightly did not.

But what you are saying amounts to agreeing to rent your house to a family on a set rent and then throwing them out because someone offers you to pay more.

Where does any decent person's sympathy lie there - with the family who had a deal and got tossed out on the street for not paying double because someone else wants to or the person tearing up a deal just to take the extra money?

Sanchez is rich. City are rich. This is not about money as such as the sums are relative and either would see his family do very well. But if you break a deal JUST to make more money you lose the moral argument.

I am proud of what City did here as a club. And if Sanchez changed his mind at the 11th hour would not want him now. He won't, of course.

Post of the thread.

he had an agreement with pep and the club and we assured him we would honour the package we both agreed in the summer because he still wanted to play for pep,then in jan he tried to play us off with the rags so we told him to fuck off so he has gone for the money,i don't see why you are here to aggitate blues about this,you stupid fuckers have given him to your direct rival for top 4 so you should be debating that amongst yourselves

My wife loves Eastenders. To me I find it portrays all Londoners as scheming, back stabbing horrible twats. Having lived in London I know this isn’t the case with the exception of the Kray twins and Arthur Daley

And rags to boot.

With a username like that how the fuck can anyone take this clown seriously

Sounds to me as though Klopp is backing us up really.

That was my thought after reading it all. Not having a go or backing up united but saying that there was another situation involved that made us turn away from the transfer

Good luck to the lad. Some players when they hang up their boots like to show off their medals, trophies won, great finals they played in etc.

Others get more satisfaction from proudly showing off their bank statements.

As someone who has morphed from football coach to bank manager, Wenger in particular would appreciate those whose ambitions tend towards the latter.

The rags are really dragging this one out to get their money's worth !
