Alexis Sanchez

[Neville Kneville]

Denayer could be a player they would be interested in though, especially if Mustafi does indeed go to Inter as seems likely.



Robson has "heard whispers" allegedly, but his whispers about City, and indeed the rags, have been so wrong this transfer window that they are probably Chinese.

Said the rags were signing Morata on the very day they signed Lukaku, for example.

Arse were linked to Denayer in the past.

That was before he lost two yards of pace & looked like he'd been training with Paul Gascoigne though.

Was thinking it was bullshit but lots of different sources now running with it. Hope they all have the same wrong source.

Diverts attention when they should be talking about the Arsenal exodus, Wenger's contract mismanagement and their decline....

 

[MarsLlama]

If Arsenal do indeed replace Gabriel and Mustafi with Denayer then I almost feel sorry for them.

 

[Zenmanc]

Big mistake if true, but so was leaving it this late. Peps decision making reminds me of a video game.

Evening Standard's James Olley, considered a legitimate Arsenal source, confirms City haven't made any offers/bids for Sanchez yet.

   Sterling could be the breakthrough in the Sanchez deal. His place was most under threat after City's summer business, even before Sanchez

   There were whispers that he'd been told he could go this summer

One report, accurate or not, often gets repeated across multiple websites; especially if it originated on one of the main media outlets.

Like to think that its nonsense. Sterling has been our most important points winner this season already, he's young, English & works damn hard for us. Doubt we'd be foolish enough to offer him away for Sanchez.

 

[its grim up north]

I know people don't like us saying this ,but we are the cash richest club in the world, and we could buy the whole Arsenal team if we wanted, in pound notes! so why would we weaken our team for something like 55 million.??????

 

[Rammy Blue]

Heard that Wenger asked for Sterling in part-ex, but we rejected it and offered Denayer plus cash.

Thought that'd be the case, the best part, if we needed any more proof, is that we are definitely in discussion to get the deal done/

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

Sterling has to be one of the most frustrating players ive watched at city even on saturday he had done fuck all before getting that lucky goal.

Seems a but wierd though swapping a telented 22 year old who cost 50 million for a guy in his late twenties in the last year of his contract. Although then so does signing JFE for 30 million.

I have thought though that for sanchez to come we need to free up a forward space.

No official bids? Wow.....what Txiki waiting for?! 2 days left Txiki, guess we not planning to negotiate, just give them what they want!;)

Been given permission to leave chile camp to conduct private buisness.

 

[Armaan]

Fuck this I wouldn't even be excited about Sanchez coming if Sterling goes the other way. This is the same people after Jonny fucking Evans so wouldn't surprise me if we did do something this bloody stupid. Please god, no!

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

£120 million pound for a player who we can get for nowt next summer Bollocks

 

[Gabriel]

Sterling played 47 games last season, more than any other player at the club, and that statistic should inform people when they are assessing his importance to us and how much Guardiola rates him.

 

[bluesoup]

Think all the rumours stem from Arsenal's wishful thinking. First aguero, now sterling in a swap deal. No bid is most likely.

 

[TonyM]

Been given permission to leave chile camp to conduct private buisness.

Why was Sterling at the Chile camp in the first place? This just gets weirder and weirder.

 

[blueparrot]

No official bids? Wow.....what Txiki waiting for?! 2 days left Txiki, guess we not planning to negotiate, just give them what they want!;)

Or a take it or leave it, bid too early and they won't take it just wait for a higher 2nd or 3rd bid.

 

[BlueDejong]

Alexis Sanchez has asked to be released from international duty with Chile for 24 hours to conduct 'personal business'. [TV13]

Oh
