Alexis Sanchez

Not sure about that...but we've hardly covered ourselves in glory this transfer season, so actually, you rare amongst your fellow fans, do make a valid point. Something I'll reflect on, thanks...

Your balance sheet is going to look shit when you finish 11th, still, put it next to your title challenges over the last decade and it'll look great. Anything looks great next to that.

You accepted the fee you muppet! You said no because you pretended you couldnt sign a replacement!

Does that mean yes didn't actually mean yes?

Disappointed not to get him and we are definitely light on the forward front now.

Arsenal as a a club are in a complete mess and Sanchez is left completely in limbo.

Im not sure if we could have handled it differently as well......Im not sure of why we waited so late int he day to make our bids for him. (IM sure there is a reason but I don't know what it is) and doing it this way was always going to be risky and potentially lead to a situation like the one that has unfolded. We have had all summer to make our bids and get him...why not do it at the start of the window or even last week or two weeks ago? Arsenal would have had time to find a replacement and we would have the player we (and Pep) wanted. We clearly have the money to do it so why not just go for it?

Which ever way you try and paint this we have lost out on our top target and a player who would have really improved us. I hope we go back in January to get him (highly doubtful)....accroding the tot he ITKs we wont go back next summer even on a free......would Sanchez still want to come to us when he will literally be able to pick any club in the world and a few of them will offer far more wages than we will......

Can he not sign a pre contract in Jan?

Not with any English clubs. Only foreign teams. English clubs can talk to him about a free transfer as of July 1st.

I'm getting it in now...
Didn't want him anyway : )

City still have a great squad going into this season so shouldn't be too downhearted.

Can't help but laugh at what a mess Arsenal are, finally growing a pair when their dick was cut off ages ago. A really pointless show of defiance from them.

Toxic tears for you

Moody as fuck that tune.

Incredibly under rated band mate.

Nice to see another Blue who just 'knows'.

@paulpowerstash will enjoy this little chat ;)

Indeed. Top album, shame about the title though. :-)

 

[not my fault!]

Can he not sign a pre contract in Jan?

No.. only with a club abroad

Can he not sign a pre contract in Jan?

Dont know (someone will confirm), but he could not play for us until next season
