It is ridiculous the monies being talked about regarding this transfer,of course,but the whole game from top to bottom is money orientated,they are all greedy bastards,even though they try to hide behind the agents,we have had them,and no doubt will again,but seriously,who gives a shit about wages etc etc,when your team is winning games and you have been there to witness it,you don't walk off back to car and think yea but he's on X amount a week,it means fuck all to us,the fans,we have players who are probably on a lot more money than they should be,but again,who am I to give 2 fucks about that,as long as they keep winning,that will do for me

Yes, but RVP's game came to a grinding halt, and was predictable. Looked at in pure footballing terms, Sanchez will do what any world class forward does. Slow up and start playing deep. We don't need that. Maybe Utd will find room for that, but as a club looking to win titles and to compete for the Champions League, I want to see players at their prime at our football club. Every City fan still loves Yaya but it makes me sad watching him play. Sanchez is following Yaya's path now. That's what I think. I could be wrong, and you could be right and hence the interest in football. We'll see how it works out.

Sounds to me like the old cünt was just determined not to let us have him. His sycophantic attitude to those rag bastards is sickening to the point of being corrupt. Cosy fucking cartel for sure.

This is another reason I wish we would just fucking outspend everyone.

Just for comparison. As far as I can find Messi earns at least 50 million Euro's yearly netto with his new contract, Neymar takes 30 million home and Ronaldo apparently 21 (which is why he feels unfairly treated at the moment). The Alexis money is breathtaking, but still considerably smaller than the global mega stars. I think that if City really wants to compete against the likes of Barca and Real (and PSG) we eventually must to go to the same level money wise. We will not be able to get the top-top players otherwise, and it will also be a problem to keep hold of our very best players. Normally players will go where they can make the most money.

Most of the great Barca side could have made more money at the top Italian clubs, Real or any if the top 4-5 in the PL.

Money is a great motivator, but if it were the absolute be all & end all, Kaka would have crawled across broken glass to get to The Etihad.

Clichy famously did an interview when at Arsenal about the abhorrence of the money we were spending. Two seasons later he was here, & only from the inside could he see that we had a determination to reach the summit of European football, & were using a period of accelerated investment to get us there.

As it now stands, the 'Free spending City who are ruining football with their oil money', stand only 4th on the list of English record buys, which would have been 5th if Arsenal had got Lamar.

Yes we've spent bucket loads, but it is now becoming clearly apparent that there was a coherent plan all along. I'm fuckin gutted we're not getting Sanchez & he will now strengthen a rival, but I hope we quickly overcome this set back & push on again in the summer with fresh targets.

The difference between Sanchez to us & to ManUre is for us he is the garnish & further strength in depth. To them, he seems like a two fold purchase. 1. It stops him from coming to us. 2. It stops him from coming to us.

Yes he will strengthen ManUre, but I said a week ago when it was becoming obvious their interest was a real threat to our bid, that this purchase seems more about Moureen trying to psychologically effect us, because all else has failed so far.

What happens if Sanchez doesn't improve their fortunes much? What then?

Moureen will continue to blame Woodward for not giving him more money. He'll claim City are only ahead of him because we've spent more than ManUre. He'll continue having a go at Conte in the hope Conte's anger with him, will distract him from the PL title chase.

And he'll continue to have a roundabout pop at Pep claiming his success is only down to oil money. His diversionary tactics worked of sorts last weekend with us losing & Chelsea drawing. My hope now is that with the chase for Sanchez being over, & after our first PL defeat, this will now concentrate our minds to redouble our efforts & fuck the bastards on the pitch where it counts.

Said the man who waltzed into Arsenal not long after they’d had a huge cash injection via Danny Fiszman and bought a squad that won the title.

Thing is I feel arsene blames city for destroying the traditional big 4 and now with them already missing out on top 4 and will continue to do so under him for more years - he is just a bitter man
 
It has been said on this thread a few times but thought it would be worth stating it again for those that dont understand why City have not competed with United for Sanchez

There is a great team spirit in the squad and that is because meticulous research is undertaken to make sure each player brought into the club will fit in to the way City do things and much is done to make sure the player wants to come before any transfer is even started. If a player then changes his mind (Laporte) or moves the goalposts (Sanchez) or agitates for more (Seluk/Toure) then City on principle are prepared to back out of the deal for good unless the player agrees to come back on the terms agreed by City. City only want players who want to be here for the right reasons and money is not the right reason its a by-product of why you are here not the reason

Does that mean City will miss out on some players yes but the upset it will cause if one players is earning double what any of his teammates were on could upset the whole team dynamic and that is something that City are not prepared to gamble on

Pep and the management team seem to have all bought into that ethos so its not likely that we will see Pep throw his toys out of the pram should we fail to get one of his targets as he will understand that the player or agent must have changed the deal. I dont think we will ever see a deal where a player wants to come and agrees a deal but City dont pay what the selling club demand obviously within reason
 
All we can do is respond in the summer by signing a better forward with more years left in him than Alexis and render their attempt at a short term fix completely pointless by winning the title every year until Sanchez leaves.

I agree with you in the scenario of Sanchez goes backwards,that would be bliss personified,but I will stick to my guns that they always come up with something when their backs are against the wall,this fella,could,be the key,it does come with an element of doubt,but he just could be the player to turn their fortunes around,and that would piss me off no end

You'd have thought Wenger's disdain for Moureen would make him less inclined to do business with them.

If this deal & VVD to LFC proves anything, it's that in spite of their differences, their collective hatred of City trumps the lot!
 
I still think Sanchez would have been what we are missing. We need a Tevez/Suarez/Costa type figure. We are so classy and relaxed that sometimes we switch off. I thought Sanchez could inject that raw passion and aggression we sometime lack. I want somebody to go mental on the pitch when we are flagging.
One thing is us not getting him, going to them is a double kick in the bollocks. If he does well, we are going to have to suffer this week in week out.

But i have to trust in the club to know what they are doing. Too many times i have felt the club have made a mistake only to be proved wrong in the long run.
Joe Hart was my biggest reaction. I hated what the club did to him. I thought we had bigger problems in other areas of the pitch to address first. Bravo only served to reinforce that belief. Yet now we have a goal keeper that can be around for years and is a massive upgrade and will only get better and better. I know i'm being greedy, but i think i just wanted a boost of signing a big player and finally snuffing out any hope them twats have of winning anything again...
 
Arsenal fans view is quite interesting if you have time.

Seen some rumours that Batshuayi maybe on his way to Dortmund, Carroll to Chelsea and Aubameyang to Arsenal.

I think Batshuayi could be a decent player. Scored a proper strikers goal v Norwich but for the most part was rubbish, but I bet that that is just confidence. Moyes was as Stamford Bridge last night apparently watching him. Would be a bit of a shock if Carroll went to Chelsea.
