Is the PSG interest genuine? If not, then there's only City in this in which case we do not have to pay what Monaco ask.As I said the other day, will be bitterly disappointed in Khaldoon and the board for not sanctioning this move. Shows a lack of vision which is surprising for such forward thinking owners. As for Guardiola, realistically he needs to decide what he's going to do. He doesn't want Sanchez to ask for a transfer or stop training, he wants to do a deal 'amicably' with Arsenal or not at all. Well it's going to be not at all Pep, so what now ?
A transfer window which has shown so much promise and addressed such huge issues in the squad is going to end with us undoing our own good work.

this is a long tale
Could they just be having second thoughts about smashing the wage structure that was carefully put in place a couple of years ago - and for an 18 year old, however promising he is?As I said the other day, will be bitterly disappointed in Khaldoon and the board for not sanctioning this move.

The whole job does not have to be done in this transfer window.
Have you heard that we're definitely not in for him then, Billy?
Well if there's only City in this, we'd be stupid to pay what Monaco want. Are we still in it as far as you know. It sounds like it would be very stupid to pull out when we are the only bidder at the table. Would you trust Le Parisien report? It is what we want to hear, but it sounds very logical and believable to meWhat I know is that City aren't prepared to pay Monaco's asking price. No issues with Mbappe's contract or his dad's %. So this is about principle for our owners and 'value' as they see it. Fair enough. They've done more than enough to earn the right to walk away from whatever deal they want. But for me, it's principled to a fault. A bit like Pep not wanting Sanchez to kick up a stink because he'd never want one of his own players doing that. Highly admirable and ethically great. But in the real world, UEFA hate us, we are panned on a daily basis for what we spend, and players are constantly agitating for moves around the globe.
