Sam from Goal is spot on......if we have to go and spend 80-100mil on another forward in the summer, this makes no sense.

If City are willing to let Sanchez join United due to the price of the total package (which would be about £40m in fees, plus wages which were agreed) then they must be thinking of their perception of value, rather than cost. They’ll do very well to find a cheaper alternative.

And by value versus cost I mean this: they must have decided it’s not ‘worth’ paying £40m-odd to Arsenal and agent, but it is worth paying £100m at least for another player (insert your own names). That, or simply they’ve been caught on the hop and have absolutely no say in it.

That's true, but we can't just break our wage structure on one player, you would get everyone else wanting more.That would strengthen us in January and be available for so little? Not a chance.
Food for thought there.Will be a shame if we miss out on a player whose best years have corresponded with Arsenal's worst.
Half the price but double the wages.Looks like we've missed out on a great player for half the price we were willing to pay for him 5 months ago. Not only that, he's gone to the one club I didn't want him to.
I know what a pisser. What a shit way to start the new year. Suicidal I am. Pep out.There you go Alves 2.0 . Third time we lost the race against him.
You could also say we haven't shown enough to secure his transfer. If we'd offered Arsenal 30 m in December privately and 5 m to him, this may have got done. He had agreed terms with us. Presumably his head has been turned by the sheer sum on offer as well as not being sure if we would pay Arsenal enough. He wants out now not in the summer.He’s fucked us about two times now. Here’s to a very unsuccessful few years at United.
Would earn more than Silva, De Bruyne, Aguero at those figures. Two figureheads of the club since 2010/11 and the current player of the year who will be one the greats if he isnt already.
City absolutely right not to pay those figures.
It was always a case of hoping Sanchez would turn them down and take the lower wage. Money does talk.

If don't understand or analyse footballFood for thought there.
Why should he be crawling? Is he a boyhood City fan?
Cash is king, loyalty means fuck all in the game.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
Might not just be about January though, maybe he's eyeing up someone much younger for the long term, so City might have said if he's going to cost £50m+ we might as well spend £100m on ...That would strengthen us in January and be available for so little? Not a chance.
Have to think about the long haul though.Sam from Goal is spot on......if we have to go and spend 80-100mil on another forward in the summer, this makes no sense.
