Such a weird one this, the bookies just don't see it the way we do.

I remain hopeful but something just niggles me that it isn't going to happen, and I certainly hope it's not a transfer that results in Sergio departing.

The bookies were insanely slow to even acknowledge our interest. I put a bet on at the end of May at 6/1, by that time Sam Lee, Mullock etc. had already been putting out that he was our #1 target and Maks Cardenas & Gerard Romero had said it was going to happen. Tolmie, Ahsan and co. had all said it was progressing but the main papers, and any journalist you wouldn't consider a "city" journalist over here seemed to refuse to acknowledge the story and the bookies were the same.

It makes me laugh when rogue supporters of other clubs appear and start mentioning so called history, we won the FA cup, League cup and Cup Winners cup all before Arsenal did and have won the League twice since they last did, so which History are we talking about, old or recent ?

When people talk about history they really mean 1980-2004.

It's a magical time in English football where all history was written.
 
I can't recall any transfer recently where a player has seemingly agreed personal terms with us and we've ended up sacking him off and balking at a price set from the selling club. Many were wanting us to walk away from Sterling, Stones and Walker as the fee rose and rose but we got them done.

Just feels like even if we have to pay £75m-80m we'll get it done eventually. They always say the hard part is getting the personal terms agreed. If we have the player determined to come to us and Pep has him as his number 1 attacking target it's getting done imo.
 
Well Pep seems to be getting the full financial support to get his targets in! So the only stumbling block is Arsenal's willingness to sell to us!

If posters from other clubs actually took the time to read up City's history they would maybe have a tad more respect for us than they do.

That's not the way those types of poster actually work though , is it ?

It's much easier to quote the " no 'istory line " as a cheap put down of City and the club's achievements before the " oil money " rolled in.

Personally feel that it is better just to totally ignore them, ( and the media ) and enjoy the current phase the team is in.

Ignorant and stupid people are the hardest to persuade anyway, so why waste time and energy trying ?

Yeah. I just think we'd have heard more from either City or Arsenal on this if it couldn't happen. One would categorically shut it down and we'd be hearing more rumours of other names bandied about. We could also just go balls deep for lemar if they refused and he would actually be a good alternative. I reckon we've agreed to let them sign Lemar first and then we sign Sanchez at a high price.

Haha - no worse - Herbert Chapman had just won the league 3 times in a row with Huddersfield, so Arsenal got him as Manager and bought 10 Huddersfield players, then won the league 3 times in a row.

Hypocrites

That's not long after they conspired to relegate Spurs
 
Bayern Munich boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has confirmed they have dropped their interest in signing Arsenal striker Alexis Sanchez for next season.

After head coach Carlo Ancelotti last week had his wish granted to sign Colombia's James Rodriguez on loan from Real Madrid, Bayern have called off their bid to poach Chile's hot-shot Sanchez from Arsenal.

Spurs were down anyway, they finished bottom in the last season before WW1. The contentious bit was that the top flight expanded to 22 teams for the 1919/20 season so three clubs were to be promoted from tier 2. Derby and Preston were the top two and went up but Arsenal had finished 5th and were promoted ahead of Barnsley in 3rd via some dodgy dealings involving Henry Norris and the Football League.

Sanchez's camp are confident Arsenal will eventually sell him to City rather run the risk of letting him leave for free. [Daily Mail]
 
Some of their fans now think we don't really want him and are purely there to destabilise a rival. Why would we even bother when they can collapse as per usual themselves just after Christmas and there's far more dangerous rivals we'd be targeting if that was our plan. I want this thing wrapped up either way but a small part of me is enjoying it dragging on and on as their fans are getting better and better by the day.

Pointless worrying about this one. If he comes he comes and so on. I don't have the patience of this to go on until the end of august.
