Alexis Sanchez

Marvin's doing the cha cha slide as we speak.

You've missed the point.

His point is what if we didn't want to pay the fee for KDB, Sane, Sterling etc. Would people still be so happy over the clubs moral stance?

So what's the answer? We pay anything anybody asks for any player we are interested in?

I know you’re mocking me but that would probably be my reaction lol. That’s how Chelsea fans react now everytime they see KDB.

Not mocking you pal. Was a bit of a joke. Would be my reaction too in hindsight and I hope peg has nightmares over it.

Some you win some you lose as some body else said.

Yeah it was a pretty poor argument that justified paying literally anything for literally anyone

Pep obviously doesn't want Sanchez as much as some on here do. Hes the boss though its his decision. We need to move on now and enjoy this fantastic season. We will sign big players again in the future our owners havent let us down yet and they wont in the future. Chill out take it on the chin.

and on that chuckle I'm off to bed to dream about who will be lifting the premierleague trophy.

I've just read 400k a week before bonuses is what swung it, we don't even know the extras(does Alexis get a signing fee as well?) and agent fees yet... but if you hear that and still think we've been too penny pinching about it then I give up with some people.

Yes our bluff wasn’t called back then. But imagine how fucked we would’ve been as a team had Wolfsburg called our bluffs and he went somewhere else.

We wouldn't have been fucked, we would have signed someone else and built the team differently. There's one player worth giving in over at the level we're at now.

Edit: Kev is as good as he is now thanks to the system Guardiola has him in and the way he's being coached.

Utd is crazy and I hate these rags

I suspect there will now be a "cover up" of why we didn't sign Sanchez. Making out he was way too expensive, poor attitude, not that good a player and we are better off without him...

In my view we must learn lessons from this missed opportunity. He was a top quality player available for a bargain fee, with a very high workrate experienced with Pep's style. He will significantly strengthen our local rivals. We messed this one up, let's hope we don't show such unimpressive negotiating skills again.

Sam Lee made a telling comment on the transfer:
"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.
... City weren’t overly worried by United as recently as Friday "
