Alexis Sanchez

Why can't it be both?

Yes of course

Manchester City have denied a host of stories from mainstream news sources that they have offered Raheem Sterling and cash to sign Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal, Simon Mullock of the Mirror has claimed on Twitter.

Told Man City have not offered Sterling in swap for Sanchez. That's not to say Arsenal don't want him but City want cash only deal





With more and more big name sources, including Sky Sports, ESPN and The Guardian, backing up the story by John Cross that Sterling has been offered in exchange for Alexis, this crazy story had seemed to have some legitimacy to it.

And perhaps it still does, but Mullock, who is known to have contacts at the club, has received information that City want Alexis in a cash-only deal with Raheem not involved. Having scored key goals in both of City’s most recent fixtures, and given his age, it would be a hotly contested decision to let him join Arsenal.

More emerging information suggests the Sterling info is coming from the Arsenal side, rather than City’s, who prefer to hand over cash for Alexis.

Really either coast here. I've found Americans are on twitter via their mobiles more than they are on their workstations... then again, perhaps that is just my trusty team of millennial analysts.

I mean I happen to be on vacation in Florida but during transfer day all bets are off haha

Mark Saggers talksport fifty million bid turned down

Jonathan Smith is a reliable source who can be trusted. Rag Robson however is in a different category.

There are no reliable sources

Don't like the sound of this Sterling swap talk, he's started really well this season and is still young, hope there's no truth to it. If its Sterling that hangs in the balance of this deal I'd rather say no deal

Ain't happening stop tormenting yourself it ain't frigging going to happen.

£60m + add ons.

Not sure what is Bollocks. Sanchez is one of the best in the world Sterling isn't ?

I like Sterling but just stating a fact.

I struggle to see where Sterling fits in especially with Bernardo too.

Is that you, Mr. Ibe?

 

[Burtonblue]

Bet Sanchez puts in a transfer request tomorrow am.

 

[Cityfan]

Like I said I like Sterling just please don't try and tell me that in a big Champions League game you'd rather he be one v one on the keeper !

Sanchez is a better finisher at the moment. with his pace I'd fancy Sterling as being the more likely player to get in a one v one.

50 rejected makes sense to me. I want it to be 55. I think 60 gets it done, apropos of nothing. Over 60 tell them to stuff it; we'll get him next year.

 

[Jack Hackett]

'Rebuffed' is such a vulgar word.

Oh, and

The suggestion from using the word 'rebuffed' is that Arsenal not only rejected the offer from City but did so in a less than civil manner.

This I find hard to believe. Arsenal are the epitome of old world manners and would never be rude to City, even if they are a bunch of northern oiks.

Arf....arf....

Fair enough!

I am on here... after all. Strange no one pointed that out. ;-)

 

[80s Shorts]

I want to sleep now and wake up after the transfer window close.

Well there's a bonus.

 

[didactic]

I hear you lads but our team is good enough I really am convinced we can win it without Sanchez.

All this does is destabilise players we already have and it's working.

£50 million for something I can get for free if I am patient and I get rebuffed.


Call me cynical but it's poor, poor business. He could get injured or do a Falcao and just not click with us. Here he won't be the big dick he is at Arsenal.

Also Raheem is 2 goals in I think he can match what Sanchez did and he is 22.


Sometimes you just have to believe.

 

[Plain Speaking]

Cheeky fcukers wanting 70m when in January he can fcuk of for nowt to a European team or next summer for naff all. Go back on Thursday tea time with 51m

Can Girona buy him and loan him to us ?

 

[DiscoSteve]

'Rebuffed' is such a vulgar word.

Vulgar indeed...

 

[venom99]

We are in a phase of the negotiation that does not include Sterling, and already has a maximum bid by the Arsenal ..

Should be between £ 65-70m Including add ons.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Well there's a bonus.

Ouch!

 

[blueparrot]

50 rejected makes sense to me. I want it to be 55. I think 60 gets it done, apropos of nothing. Over 60 tell them to stuff it; we'll get him next year.

My guess would be £60 plus add ons .

 

[Ricster]

Well done to those who got 5/1 about this last week when this was said.
Do fans still think 2 clubs sit at a computer emailing counter offers to clubs over the course of a day?
This has been going on for months.
Ill say it again.
Undisclosed bid of around 55-60m with add-ons.
You can quote that. Anymore and its a lie
