Just put a tenner on 4/1, no doubt he’ll be announced to Rags or staying at Arsenal shortly

I have met few blues who are as deathly afraid of the rags as you. More likely, I suspect you've talked awfully big in front of rags you know and are afraid to being made out a mug if they get Sanchez, or if they have a resurgence. Am I close?

I am not afraid of Utd, I am just a perfectionist when it comes to football and I want us to make a statement to the rest of the league looking back with no regrets whatsoever.

I want us for many years to be playing in a different league than anyone else and win everything there is to win in the game.
 
Utd are 4/5........people are just betting on speculation at the min.

If Utd go below 1/5 I will get worried.

I suspect we will make a counter offer if that's the case - Sterling back on the table.

Hope not Arsenal can choose who they do business with now but player has final say they can't make him go if he saus no its City or I linger till summer they can do f**k all about it. If he doesn't want to be part of whats going on then so be it.
 
I thought that this was all just the normal process of a straightforward transfer to City when the links to United came up. It literally happens every transfer window with our targets.

However, Mourinho's comments about Sanchez being a phenomenal player amidst all the links to United was kind of telling. They would have nothing to gain and everything to lose PR wise by making those comments if they knew he was nailed on to City and it would only heap even more pressure on them.

I think they're definitely in for Sanchez and must have been given some encouragement by him and his agent to publically get involved. They've also got a scattergun approach to signings where they will just throw whatever wages the player wants these days, kind of like we did 4 or 5 years ago. Whether we want to admit it or not, they are still one of the most attractive propositions for any player in England.

We still don't know where he will end up, but ignoring his contract situation, any team who gets a player with the quality of Sanchez for £40 million is getting a bargain in the current climate.

Although I'm not convinced Sanchez is an ideal signing in terms of his age and potential disruption he could cause to our squad, I do believe that if we had promised Sanchez a move last summer for £60m then we shouldn't really get too hung up on paying £30+m for him now.

This "we can get him for nothing in summer" is all hypothetical and is simply not what we are faced with now.

We need to realise that if he signs, he will in a blink of an eye become a £65-70m asset, and if indeed he doesn't fit in then there will be plenty of takers.

I`m always intrigued by this stupid word.In the context of what could happen ... what the fuck do you actually mean ?
 
But would City's main issue be the weekly wage Sanchez is asking for? That's where the real FFP problems come in and I'd rather keep the powder dry on that front to take care of Sterling, Sane, KDB, Ederson, etc. Rather than Sanchez at close to 30 y/o. I'm not a financial type like PB and others here but if this is the real dynamic in play then let the rags have him. They obviously have to deal with those limits as well.
