Alexis Sanchez

[welsh_andy]

May all be a ploy for us to stump up more cash. But it's looking likely he's off to swamp. Money or glory, looks like money wins

 

[markbmcfc]

All this talk of elaborate schemes to troll United is just madness.

We didn’t want to pay the money, United did, so he’s going there instead. Shame but it’s that simple.

 

[Don Karleone]

Must admit, I like how we're sticking to our guns.

Don't get me wrong, I really wanted Sanchez. Not at 400k a week though.

 

[Ajm1985]

If the figures are true then it makes sense not to pay them. We are still rengotiating contract extensions with players, including KDB, who have greater longevity and would want a greater salary.

 

[mixer]

He’s lost a yard of pace anyway.

That would be the 1.6 million quid a month in his pocket.

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

From one shite used to be good with cockney fans to another.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Forget him and sign the player we might soon need ozil merlins replacement.

 

[cookster]

Oh well. Think it’s a mistake by the club but the figures are eye-watering.

Not sure what option we have got? We made our move in the Summer and Arsenal fucked it.
The figures from Manure if correct would put Sanchez miles ahead of Kun, KDB etc. Madness!

 

[dublinblue12]

Wonder how much it will cost to sign a player of Sanchez's ability in the summer. A lot I would imagine.

Exactly

 

[Lancet Fluke]

He’s lost a yard of pace anyway.

Whether he goes to united or comes to us, it is going to be very interesting to see how his form goes. Everyone has assumed he has gone off the boil because his heart isn't in it at Arsenal but who knows for sure? And there's certainly no guarantee he will rediscover his best form playing under mourinho.

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Huh, I suddenly agree with what Marvin has been saying about him!!
;-)

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Plan B then.
Messi - offer 22M not a penny more.
Nobody holds us the ransom.

 

[Halloween Jack]

400k a week is £1.6m a month.

It's £1.73m a month.

 

[Taylor]

If he’s agreed to sign for 400k a week then it just goes to show every player has a price

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

What's stupid about it ?. 42 million for a footballer and 20 million for a proven world class footballer. Difficult for you I agree .

The times and circumstances are totally different or have you missed that ?

 

[Claytop]

We're all the reports in the summer when PSG and Bayern were interested in him wanting around 400k a week correct then?

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

IF that's true then I'm glad we're not paying it. 400k a week? No way.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Oh well. Think it’s a mistake by the club but the figures are eye-watering.

No mistake here Ric. At those numbers the whole wage structure of the club explodes and we are suddenly looking at off-loading players to compete. There was talk of KDB getting a new contract worth £200k a week. Pay Sanchez £400 and where do you go with Kev?
What does Pogba, DeGea and others demand at their next contract? IF, those numbers are right, the can has been opened and the worms are about to start wriggling all over Trafford.

 

[RandomJ]

I suspect the result of the Liverpool game later will change people's opinions on this one way or another.

 

[jayfx]

I think they'e all just wating to see if this thread can peak 5000 pages before he signs.
