Alexis Sanchez

Don't believe Mullock/Lee have said we are sacking off sooo...

Lee more or less said it

 

[p.taker]

The briefs have started.

Looks like we are sacking it off.

No, to any sane person it looks like we are playing hardball. Keep feeding the flappers though by all means mate.

Don't think we want him that badly then. All those fee combined might be expensive for a player with 6 months left of his contract.

But it's not a lot for a player of Sanchez quality.

Mourinho doesn't deserve a player like Sanchez. Would be sad to see him go there.

 

[SebastianBlue]

We're safe from that fate at least, Long scored against Palace on the 2nd :)

I can sleep again!

 

[Andouble]

would love to sack it off and sign someone younger anyway. Sanchez (and even JFE) will just need us to sign replacements again in two years anyway. Not a long-term investment.

Is this all part of the game? Making arsenal look better? So confused.

 

[domalino]

It seems like we are telling Sanchez if he wants us to pay the extra 10-15m to let Arsenal agree to the transfer, it's coming out of his package.

 

[MCFC1993]

Whatever happens we have complete control in this situation. If we wanted him that much we'd pay the fee.

 

[MarsLlama]

There's definitely been a club briefing. Either we genuinely don't want him anymore or we're trying to scare Arsenal.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Lee more or less said it

He didn't though. He said it was stalemate

Arsenal are, as well.

 

[J_MCFC21]

Basically want Arsenal to negotiate..playing hardball.

 

[razman]

Master stroke by Txiki!

Trust in pep!

 

[KP242]

Love what we are doing atm. Completely beautiful from the people at the top. If we want Sanchez all we have to do is pay. But we aren’t afraid to walk away. Masterstroke.

 

[cadds92]

We must be absolutely categorically convinced Sanchez wants City if we are playing hardball now with United offering better terms.

Fair play to Txiki’s faith in Sanchez here.

This will drag all window.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Making arsenal shit themselves...
Does anyone believe that Sanchez wants United? It suits the media to report that he would consider it, but I don't think it will come to that. Saying to arsenal: sell now on our terms or fuck off.

 

[Young Blue]

How often do we buy a player significantly below their market value?

It appears Sanchez wants Pep as his first choice, but will our insistence on punishing Arsenal because they let us dangling in the summer window, may jeopardise this deal?

 

[manimanc]

These stories always break before a player actually signs.
It happened wih kdb remember, it was all off and then bingo he signed for us.
Stick with it you might be surprised.

Do you remember when we used to pay over the odds to try and gain parity with the elite ?
