Sanchez [Continued]

[LoveCity]

Would anyone else get a giggle out of Sanchez being completely incompatible with Barca's ideal style of football (ala Ibra)? He is going to have to learn to release the ball a lot more I feel. If he fails to bed in at Barca, I hope we plant a cheeky 20m bid next year. ;)

its all just a smokescreen i tell you

i noticed the odds for us to sign ronaldo are 7/2 but the interesting thing is chelsea are next in the betting with utd at 16/1 big gap in prices if he does move he is coming to us.

If Mancini said that the player was willing to come to us why did we pull out? I guess the obvious reason would be the fee, because if we bid £30m then there's a gap of £14m, because they wanted £44m.

Ah the obligotory smokescreen post!

We purposely send our top brass around the world on expensive flights taking up their precious time in an effort to sign someone else.

Worst.theory.ever.

I think he is pretty incompatible with Barca's style, he is hardly a give and go kind of player

Interesting how Mancini made the comments, maybe they feel it's better if he makes the statement so everyone doesn't go hating Cook & co. Smart by the club i say!

Also Mancini is Italian.. it was on Sky Itaiia, and Im sure Udinese was watching (an Italian club).

It was for Udinese not, Sanchez, not Barcelona, not our fans or the English media. We knew what we were doing.

 

[The Game 77]

Got a feeling that we might not be finished here. My guess could be if Barca yet again fail with a deal. now there close to signing Fabergas. they may need to include player/s into the mix. And with all the recent success they have had with that !!!
Could be seeing Gianpaolo Pozzo come running back like a long lost puppy after our offer which is the highest in value as for amount in cash -No players and the agreed fee paid in full!! Not paid in instalments which run for the whole lenght of his contact!
With the only money to be paid later are the reported add ons
And with Barca trying to get him on the cheap by offering a lower amount than us and stating its the one and only offer take it or leave it
Also Mancini claiming that Sanchez has no worries in joining us
Could this be City playing udinese at there own game to hurry up the whole process
Like Barca here is our offer its what we think hes worth BUT its biggest and the best for your club. Stop dicking around with us WE HAVE OTHER TARGETS if we cannot get Sanchez

Good theory, but might fall back on the likelihood that Barca and Udinese will haggle all Summer and we'd have to wait on the sidelines until the end of the window.

Then again any deal we do will probably turn out that way because the names we've been linked too are all targets of other big clubs, and the ownwrs will just repeat what Udinese have done
