Alexis Sanchez

Good article

Just read it, indeed great article and bang on the money

Spot on.He was virtually sticking up for us by saying money would not have been an object for us.
Some people (same ones) look for negative spins on things that don`t exist.
Sad people.

Got involved with one last night, blew my mind.

Very good article from Rory Smith in the New York Times on the Sanchez transfer:

This pretty much sums it up for me.

Great article, perfect context. Even ute fans are saying as much.... A seachange perhaps

More likely to be City fans masquerading as Rags.

The grade A Rags are indoctrinated to a level not known to science.

He’d unquestionably have come to us if the offers were identical. I’ve never suggested otherwise? United had to offer a much bigger financial package as it’s a less attractive move from a footballing perspective.

Well this is the be all & end all of Sanchez to ManUre & the narrative I have ready for their barefooted, toothless, knuckle-dragging fans when they inevitably start with 'When ManUre show an interest, because of our history, no player can turn us down'.

I have a sense for these things, so are you saying there is no scenario where you can see Moureen going after Sanchez in an attempt to upset our plans & get into our heads?

And he was.

If it's not about money, then we would be willing to pay it, if he had asked it of us, which we are not.

he has been on about City's spending, since he was at Dortmund.

Yawn,

I understand that you don’t understand, and that is completely understandable.

He didn’t turn “me” down or anyone else, he chose money. Pep doesn’t do second chances. Sanchez agreed and changed his mind. City don’t do business like that...this isn’t 2008 or even 2011, when we felt we had to over pay for top players to get the Project going. No, this was one of the best teams in Europe seeking to add an aging, but effective, player to the young squad to help alleviate some of the stress on our one fit striker and to work with a player Pep THOUGHT he knew. The ownership knows what they will and will not pay. Can they afford anyone? Of course! But, Khaldoon isn’t about to be bent over by someone untrustworthy.

One thing that all City fans have learned is that the owners are shrewd businessmen and not to be trifled with. They don’t allow ANYONE to fuck with them, because they don’t need to. They set out to bring a Championship after 44 years and did it. They set about building the best training facility in the world and did it. They set about recruiting the best coach in the world and did it. They set about rebuilding the oldest squad in the Premier with the best young talent from around the world and did it.

I understand how frustrating it must be to be an Arsenal fan these days, especially with your best players wanting out and your manager seemingly a year or two out of date, but don’t make the mistake of mocking City for walking away from Sanchez. No one is bigger than this club today. In the past, City might have done more to get a player of Sanchez’ undoubted ability, but this isn’t the past.

Lest you missed it, City are TWENTY THREE POINTS AHEAD OF ARSENAL, with 15 games to go. Hell, you are even EIGHT POINTS AND 15 GOAL GD OUT OF A CL PLACE! So, I would worry more about why your best players want OUT so badly, not why City decided they didn’t want one of them.

The future is BLUE...the future is HERE!

Fuckin Brilliant Post!!!!

I know what you mean,you should have heard then screaming like little girls when we only drew at Palace and then again the scouse game. Most, I have to say, are relatively accepting of their lot this season.... Perhaps they all have to share the brain cells and this week its their turn

 

[Dribble]

Sadly I don't see that myself the bottomline is it looks like they will end up tying up the guy Pep has chased from day one AND while playing pretty awful football the message it sands it that united can sign anyone even one coveted and with so many things favoring a move to someone else. Yes they have overspent but the massage it sands clearly they believe is worth it

And that's the point. Sanchez at £500.000.00 per week wages was worth it to ManUre, however no other club in world football seems to share that view.

Yawn,

See, you couldn't stay away.
