Alexis Sanchez

[charliebigspuds]

Don’t understand this Sanchez-United deal. Is it £35m plus mikiwhatshisname? That’s a lot of cash, Arsenal will be pissing themselves at United if it comes off.

they're shit at getting players in but they're good at getting max value out of their players

:-) Happy days and i couldn't be more proud of our club right now.

The best players are always going to have loads of offers, which may cause dithering etc
The Bony's and Mangala's of this world will never cause a problem. Except on the pitch.

Thanks for posting mate.....good article!

If this report is correct, we've made it personal and for me, you should never make business personal...Its all lovely to believe players want to come here for the romance of playing for Pep and turn down large sums of money in the process but this is a cut-throat business and if we stick to this approach in the future, there could be many more top class players that get away..another example of this (just like the report says) Laporte would be perfect for us but the board made it personal after he change his mind and will never look at doing a deal with him again....seems like cutting off your nose to spite your face! As Sam's says, time will tell whether this stance will come back to haunt us in the future.

Not a good thing in business to place trust in someone proven to be untrustworthy either.

I'm not sure it's a one chance only policy at the club. Alexis has had a chance before and we were still interested. But I'd imagine very few clubs would allow themselves to be pissed about by a player twice. Just depends how they conduct themselves really.

Be funny, if come 1st Feb he’s still at Arsenal, and they get bugger all for him in the summer, Utd have missed out and we pick him up for free.

Romantic, however not quite true...

We should rub a signing in the faces of the scum in this window, including that naughty boy video extras mug, just to let them know it was never about the money...

We are definitely short, regardless of position....

100% AGREE.

This stance will have ramifications for years.
Much like Ferguson’s decision to appoint his own successor had at swampsville.

I love how much Pep adds to our club and will continue to do so long after he’s gone.

It’s a fact that it’s very likely. Re succession planning just cos someone made a complete fucking cock of it doesn’t mean we will. The scum recruited moyes on a drunk’s whim, there was no handover or training, one out one in. However if your belief is that City will treat succession planning so frigging shoddily then it’s your right to think that, fact

I think it's important to be mindful that no club,However, successful should believe they have a divine right to continued success the handover at untied would be a case in point

The other thing that doesn’t make sense is why do they bid 35 when all they’re competing with is our 20m offer? Surely the sensible bid would be 21m just to get to talk to the player and then offer him their mega salary?

Yep but the whatsisname value will disappear from all reporting as did rug heads value when Lukaku moved over for 80m + rughead always quoted as 80m
