Alexis Sanchez

[Sergio<3]

Il hold my hands up and say il be gutted if we don’t sign him and them rag bastards do! Come on City do the right thing! He could be the difference between winning the CL or not

Depends on the personal terms really, if the agent is still looking for free transfer style signing on fee and wages on top of us paying out a decent fee then it's not so straight forward.

With personal terms all agreed back in the summer and Sanchez having his heart set on joining us I'd be very surprised if his agent is suddenly moving the goal posts asking for ridiculous sums of money and potentially scuppering the move his client wants. Obviously that is all based on speculation and none of us truly know what is happening behind the scenes.

I'd say we need a backup CM more personally. The control of the game goes entirely when Ferna doesn't play.

True, I'd just think with him being cup tied in the CL, Shaktar still being in it and him possibly needing a pre season to get to grips with what Guardiola will want from him as a pivot that January would be a very strange time to do that deal. We can get away with Gundogan as a pivot in some of the easier league games now he's gotten back to match fitness.

Winter Is Coming" is the motto of House Stark, one of the Great Houses of Westeros. The meaning behind these words is one of warning and constant vigilance. The Starks, being the lords of the North, strive to always be prepared for the coming of winter, which hits their lands the hardest.

considering this has been 2 (maybe 2.5? can't remember) transfer windows, this is worse than the Pogba and KDB threads now, right?

 

[Daz_Blue]

Frozen ?
Means he is coming in the Summer ? Tolmie ?

Man City, ruining football by making other teams pay way too much in desperation.

 

[Armaan]

are you capable of any logical thought?

Yes, it’s just I’ve been going on about Alexis joining us since last summer now to a few rags I know... If he joins them they’re going to give me hell lol

He's an agent mate and his paycheck is dependant on the size of the deal, if the scum have offered bigger terms I wouldn't be surprised at all if the agent tried to get us to match them. Also the personal terms will be different now to what they were in the summer.

If it was a choice between a DM (either Fred or Weigl) in January or Sanchez I'd prefer if we signed a DM. Yes neither would be available for the Champions League but there is a danger Fernandinho could be burnt out by March/ April due to his workload so far. Yaya has nowhere near his mobility.

I think the whole United/ Sanchez is a giant bluff by Alexis to force us to commit to a January transfer, if we don't raise our offer though I wouldn't be surprised if his bluff was called and he went there. They desperately need to get one over us, he would be feted as a saviour over there and they will spend whatever is necessary to buy some credibility. I know he has indicated he wants to play for Guardiola but if we won't pay for him now combined with a plea to his vanity and a shedload of cash could see him going there.

It obviously says a lot about a person's outlook on life how they interpreted it. I immediately assumed he was saying that we've hit a deadlock and I'm a miserable, pessimistic **** by and large.

 

[OhSoGroovy]

Whatever happens, I just want this shit done within a week hopefully. Can’t bare another 18 days of this prolonged strip tease.

 

[Woody135]

If we were going to pay 60 in the summer why aren’t we just completing the deal :( 20 plus 35 (his demands ) is still less than what we were offering before.

It's the principle/message it sends. Reeks of desperation

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

Attention seeking git.

Lol it adds to the fun. Isnt this what the transfer window is all about.

 

[damrider]

I don't speak spanish, but i'm pretty sure that in spanish when something is frozen it means it's stuck and not moving.

 

[Patientman63]

Frozen.

He's off to Russia?

You think it's a good deal to pay 55m for a player with 6 months left on his contract who wants to leave his current club and on top of that make a rotation winger/backup striker our biggest earner by a huge amount?

If those figures are anywhere close to true, we should walk away.

I don't think it's a coincidence that we've been so laboured in the league cup without him, but in a game like Burnley in the FA Cup where we again rotated heavily but kept him in, we were fine.
