Alexis Sanchez

[Deleted member 77198]

I am really unconcerned with this. Would be thrilled if we got him but if we don't we're 15 points up on the league and will get someone else in the summer, no big deal. Do you guys think Bayern would give a shit if a player decided to go to Dortmund instead? If he goes to United we shouldn't either, it's not like he's a trancendant 22 year old who will be around for a decade.

Spot on

Genuinely couldn't give a shit to be honest.

I was excited at the prospect in the summer but only because I thought we needed someone like him in the squad. The last six months have proven me wrong and, although I'd certainly be happy to add him to the squad, I wouldn't lose any sleep if he went elsewhere.

Completely agree,until the last part,if he stays then I'll live with it,but if he left for somewhere else I'd be pissed off,slightly less pissed off if it was abroad like,but still pissed off

It will happen. Was never going to be done by the Liverpool game. Key bit is Sanchez wants us.

Patience instead of insane remarks about Txiki, the board and the club... who lets not forget have been fantastic the last couple of windows.

Yeah but what have they done for us recently??? ;-)

When players/agents make these sort of demands we never give in, the rags ALWAYS DO. That’s what scares me. Sanchez transforms their team if he signs for them.

Peg transforms Sanchez if he signs for them and not in a good way

This screams Alves MKII

I just get the feeling it’s all about money at the end of the day.

Alves was a free agent and dragged it out, Sanchez isnt and until Arsenal say yes there is nothing we can do.

It is only silly if Sanchez point blank refuses to sign for anyone other than City. If he does, then we are playing a blinder. If however, he goes to United, we will have made a huge miscalculation. Sanchez is worth far more than £25m in any normal situation and if we miss out on him, it will cost us far more than £25m to purchase a comparable player in the summer. We lost out on Alvez and as others have pointed out, it hasn't impacted us on the field but off it, it cost us an additional £27m. If something similar happens with Sanchez, it surely has to have an impact on our transfer budget.

but we would of paid most of that to Alves as a signing on fee. How much did Milners free transfer cost Liverpool, as much as 10 million I believe.

Same here. I'd be happy if he comes but overly concerned if he doesn't.

Does anyone else wanna share with us how worried they are and how much they think this is like alves?

Because we haven't had enough of that today

Scares ? Really. How has giving in to demands and us not giving in panned out this season ?

Winter is coming sounds like the warning United fans gave us about the Christmas fixture period congestion and we breezed through that...

Alves was a much bigger name and better fullback than Milner as well and had achieved a lot more.

 

[CityDreamer]

I think this must have changed his mind. But.. I am more happy that we've got Gabi back then us signing Alexis tbf. If we sign him, great addition. If we dont sign him, we wont go under.

Very good times ahead

Is the word "not" missing in that post ?

Because that has worked out so well for them...

Think of how much we've missed Alves though.

Sky now trying to throw Chelsea into the mix pmsl

Not long before we get reports confirming that Arsenal are signing Sanchez for 50mil.

 

[foggy1974]

Alves was a much bigger name and better fullback than Milner as well and had achieved a lot more.

so would of cost 20 million plus signing on fee plus extra wages which swallows up the £27 million paid for Danilo

Of course it is.

It would be for me, it would be for you, it would be for all of us on here, so it certainly will be for footballers when you’re talking about the money they get...

If you could earn £15m now but £30m in the Summer, name one sane person who’d take the £15m?

 

[foggy1974]

can we sign him on loan for six months agree to pay his wages + small signing on fee
see how the whiner reacts to that

Tottenham to be included as well ...
