Rumoured Alexis Sanchez

[LAM09 6,772]

I can’t believe my eyes some of you people are talking about Alexis.

In the last year and a half he scored 35 goals in all competitions and assists 16 times. Come on. Involved in 51 goals directly. Not enough to pay £300k-£350k? Sad days.

 

 

Nothing sad about common sense. Allow Utd to continue throwing money around in the hope of winning something notable.

But the thing is that when a manager eventually takes over thats a player manager hes going to have alot of very good players that he can pick from.

. Sanchez is a top player but hes also somebody who is infuriating to watch (any footballer who does this is imo, you get shit loads of money, do your fucking job) when nothing is going well, like the Arsenal games a few months back where he did more flailing of his arms and berating his team mates than trying to help out.   

Tbhi can sympathize with him. He probably got fed bullshit by Wenger about how they were looking at breaking into the elite and his three full season's so far they haven't sniffed the title and got knocked out of the CL at the last 16 stage, once by Monaco and twice embarrassingly. He has basically been duped into wasting his prime years and for his actions of late im happy to give the benefit of the doubt was him lashing out in realization of that.

There's a legitimate chance that both of Arsenal's best players (and absolutely beloved fan favorites) could end up at United for a bargain price in January (Sanchez) and for nothing (Özil) in the summer. Arsenal Fan TV would be a hilarious must-watch but United would have an unbelievable side just like City so double edged sword there.

Sky Sport reporting now that City are walking away from the deal. Quite surprising considering they have an open cheque.

Probably they have someone younger and cheaper lined up for the summer or Sanchez will stay until the summer and leave on a free, unless United push for him.

Or walking away is a negotiating tactic because they know the player is only interested in joining them and will not move elsewhere. Arsenal are therefore left to chew over the choice between what City will stretch to now, or nothing in the summer.

I think Wenger has made it clear that getting nothing for either for their big stars isn't an issue.

Too much.

I find it extremely difficult to believe that Sanchez would be demanding 400k a week. No clubs other than Chinese clubs or PSG offer that much. Barca and Real Madrid makes super special exceptions for Messi and CR7. I cannot imagine that City or United would offer him that much.

I heard somewhere that he was potentially looking at a £30m signing on fee if he moves on a free. I believe these fees are factored in over the length of a players contract and if that is taken into account then something in the region of £400k per week may not be far off what he could command.

Agreed, and he might mean it, but that’s also exactly what he’d say if he secretly intended to take the money. All fun and games.

Maybe. We can’t buy Sanchez because of hazard.

if we buy him he will be the highest payed player and hazard 2nd

True. Everyone's caught onto Mourinho's mind games now.

That's one of the reasons meeting Sanchez's demands would set a bad precedent & potentially upset the apple cart.

[Dimitr 488]

If we enter in the race we haven’t chance to get him because of his agent who of course prefers man und

[BlueLion. 21,491]

The Chelsea of 5-6 years ago would have already snapped him up instead of all of this pussy-footing. We'll panic buy Wilfreid Zaha on deadline day, anyway, no need to worry.

[Special Juan 27,439]

Things have changed, we have changed. I mean we are looking at Andy Carroll, that tells you exactly how we have changed and how much.

[Dimitr 488]

It’s simple after 2012 we changed 

roman abramovic doesn’t want to spend big anymore he  has everything he wanted.  He wanted Ucl and we did it. 

So  this is it ,  this is the end.

[Sideshow Luiz 2,310]

It's not the end, the club will go on.

We're not after him because he's too expensive, simple. 

His wages + transfer fee + age + what it does to our wage structure.

The club absolutely know that a transfer fee of 20-30M is very good for a player of this quality, we just spent 15 on Barkley.  But, it's the other stuff.  It must mean that we can't afford him.  Same reason why Tottenham, Dortmund, Lyon and countless other clubs aren't linked with him.

Have to agree with this.

He came in with the agenda of turning the club into a successful one with the overall goal of winning the Champions League and succeeded.
