could actually leave us as the outstanding option here. Barca cant afford him and citeh for whatever reason have pulled the plug. Talk is he will stay at udinese if he cant go to barca but i wouldnt be too sure we couldnt sway him especially if there is any truth in avb personally ringing him to try and convince him

Fuckin love Bobby Di and would be great to see him back

im still dubious as to whether we have even made a bid or not

thats about a year old fella

second striker

more of a publicity stunt on their behalf

so whats the deal now? Is there definately a bid on the table and i mean definately not reportedly by the daily star? I mean i cant see barca being in on this one, not when they are not prepared to offer the same amount dos sanchez

i bet you they aint! This has le arse or someone else written all over it, we would never make this sort of deal. Great young player going for a reasonable amount in a transfer window gone mad? No way we will be in there

the daily star is the worst of the worst rag for info

Im going to go against the grain here and say i WOULD take Villa here. I know he is close to 30 or even in his 30's but the fella is a great player and in the world cup he showed what class he has. When he comes in from the left of the front three and whips a shot in he is really deadly, plus his range of passing and movement off the ball is excellent. Wouldnt pay ridiculous money for him but would certainly consider a 20 mill offer

August 31st ,25 mill for arshavin

anyone else starting to get a bit anxious that we have still to make any move in the transfer market? First month is nearly over and the scummers have made a couple of signings already and apparently De Gea is having a medical now. Le arse are reported to be about to make an 18 mill bid for Mata and liverpool are sniffing in around that one as well, and they are also chasing Downing and Citeh are making active( if futile) approaches for Sanchez. I know we have only installed AVB but surely with our first pre season game in 2 weeks we want to start bringing in our new additions sooner rather than later? I know this idealistic and fairly impatient but when i hear manuer, our closest rivals in recent years, strengthening their side (albeit with players i wouldnt want for our team) quickly and getting themselves prepared early on it does concern me. Id hate to see Mata go without us even showing an interest but then im not the gaffer ps get Sanchez in, Barca cant afford him as they are going to blow their load on Fiberglass and he doesnt seem interested in Citeh so lets stump up the money for a player who seems to be the cream of the crop at the moment and get this side some flair

We know as much as you!

according to radaPT further up the page that is not what it says

What?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2008178/Manchester-City-bid-38m-Alexis-Sanchez.html Much of the same but the hacks def think we are in the hunt now. To be honest IF AVB has asked Roman to make him number 1 priority then i could see us getting him

Who is this fella and why would he be in the know

Why trade the best left back in the world for a good right/center back? Not for me

Ha ha! I never understand these reports even when translated Does it actually say that he is expected to sign today in there somewhere?

We aint signed anyone of note yet

Its the usual talk around this time to try and get the prices up and get a bidding war going, nothing new! If the NOTW story has any truth then he aint interested in citeh and would prefer a move to Barca or failing that us. Citeh can offer all the money in the world but if in the end Sanchez decides he does not want to join them then it wont make a difference! Fingers crossed money is not his ruler

Thats the original post from the news of the world

Well dont! Roman has people in place to deal with that and he aint no idiot

more time than Ramires? He has been in the PL since 2008!

well at least we are being linked now but ill take this with a massive pinch of salt for now
