Alexis Sanchez

At least the 2 chaps on ssn just now have made our position clear and mentioned Sanchez preferred city to any other club. They even had a giggle at the obscene amounts of money the filth are throwing at Sanchez and his agent.
 
If he doesn’t sign for anyone I suspect there’ll be a massive bidding war in the summer with plenty of overseas teams bidding too for higher than £350k pw.. he’ll probably end up going to China

Of course it has. Whilst we were happy to wait until the summer it allowed other clubs to make a move. Sanchez isn't blameless in all of this but if we truly wanted him we could have done a lot more about it.

But that's precisely the point we COULD but won't on the basis that the deal is too much and will cause doubtless unrest in the dressing room.

I take my hat off to City...the rest is up to Sanchez if he wants us that much.
 
I’m sure there’s a few of us ou there. But I feel a bit sorry for Sanchez.
His heart says City, his agent and his head says follow the money...
If it was me I’d probably be thinking I’ve got enough money but I’ve not got enough trophies to sit down and tell my grandchildren all about.
For me a legacy would be everything.

Good luck Alexis

See ya later
 
People comparing him to Aguero need to realise Sanchez plays out wide not down the middle. Sane is the one that would need to worry about his place.

We used to have to pay over the odds to get players and their agents knew this. We are no longer being held to ransom. His agent wants £5m for himself!!! Well let someone else pay it. Sanchez wanted/wants to come to us but if he lets his agent win then so be it.

It's not the end of the world for us. Some people need to give their heads a wobble. We have the best goal difference in the league by a country mile, we are 12 point clear after losing one league game all season.

Sanchez has actually had a negative effect on his team mates at Arsenal and we can do without that in our dressing room.

Ball in his court still, come to the club you want to on our terms or go for the money. It's that simple.
 
If what is being reported now is true not only is it telling the footballing world what a twat Sanchez and his agent are but it also sends a message to others about future negotiations. Very clever move imo. If Sanchez does come to us it will be on the basis of what was agreed a few months ago. This one could run and run
 
It’s not official that we have pulled out and it may just be a bluff.

If you want to win medal etc cut your demands

Of course he's an improvement. The only player who is anywhere near him is Kun and he's also been out of form this season.

Performances this season for Chile and Arsenal do not suggest that. If Kun has been out of form, then what about Sanchez. Sanchez has 7 goals. Kun has 13.
 
I am also glad the statement makes clear Pep argued for Sanchez but agreed with the stance not to crash the pay structure for him.

That undercuts any journo looking to create a 'war with the board' and 'will Pep quit?' trend that I was worried about earlier.

The statement makes very clear he was fully on board and that the board will back him financially for someone else if Sanchez just wants to follow the money and not play for him. He will find someone who does to replace Sanchez in June and they will back him all the way.

Everything about the statement was well thought out.

We shouldn't be so arrogant to assume that every player wants to play for us no matter what.

Sanchez would have improved us and that's why we wanted him. At the end of the day the club chased him but obviously didn't want him that much. We had all summer to approach him but waited until the last day of the window. Then we were happy to grab him in the summer instead of going all out for him in January.
