So refreshing to hear a pundit defend Mourinho. Been hearing crap for last few months from most pundits that begs me to pull my hair out.Andy Gray speaking sense. George Boateng sounds like an idiot and says it like if there's a gap now, then there's no chance of that changing in the next 5 years. Because things don't change from season to season in football

I agree, just joking. The narrative being around media is laughable. City didn't want to pay for him until the last day of the last transfer window because they wanted him on the cheap. They still want him on the cheap.
Anyone who thinks that we're working on this transfer for a past few days or a week is delusional. If we get him, it will be because we wanted him more and don't mind paying over the odds to get him. That's the thing when you really want a player. You will pay over the odds to get him.
But, of course, media will forget to mention this.
The thing, being the biggest club in the country also helps.
He's a good player in a team that is doing well but when everything is going wrong he's a complete bottle job.
Well Sanchez seems to be filling the elusive 4th spot in Jose's transfer strategy from the summer.
Clearly this means Bale isn't coming, or Griezmann for that matter.
The question is: would United have gone for him if PSG or Madrid wanted him? Is this another we'll buy him because he's available and our rivals appear to want him, rather than we desperately want him (like Lukaku in my honest opinion).

I wouldn't mind. Well I care at least as much as what all the random knob-heads in here think (no offence guys), but Arsenal fan tears fill me with joy.
Wengers future could easily be decided as well - if this was my club, I would be so seriously worried:
Petr Cech - turns 36 in 4 months
Laurent Koscielny - 32 - looks to be in decline
Nacho Monreal - turns 32 next month
Per Mertesacker - 33 - looks too slow
Hector Bellerin - 23 - the only real talent in defense, how long will he stay ?
Alexis Sanchez - 29 - out of contract and on his way out of the club
Mesut Özil - 29 - probably the same as Sanchez
Oliver Giroud - 31 - will leave in the summer
Theo Walcott - soon 29 - on his way out of the club
Santi Cazorla - 33 - career over ?
Danny Welbeck - 27 - yet to reach 50 League goals. Scored 13 in 3.5 seasons for Arsenal. Not good enough
Mohamed Elneny - 25 - hardly ever plays - not good enough
Calum Chambers - 23 - hardly played after his first season at the club. Not good enough
Realistically - 10-12 players could easily leave Arsenal in the next 1.5 years. Either because they want to leave, or because they aren't good enough

What exactly is that meant to mean?
I watched him often enough for Dortmund since he joined there. He was frustrating often enough, he had one fantastic season under Tuchel in all years. He surely has good moment, but no thanks for me. Not for this wage, already 28 too. We should rebuild the team with some young talents.
please post it would you. I want to see his pain.
After watching Aguero tonight I'd be surprised if they didn't go big for him.
It was after they beat us, dont remember which game.

When you put it like that. Their team is a mess!
They’ve briefed heavily they aren’t going above £20m. Why can’t any of you people actually just accept that unless the moment comes when they change their minds? Second guessing everything is no fun and just leaves you paranoid.
That's really what convinced you that we are crazy? Really?
This is getting better, and this is the sort of thing City will never be able to replicate.
I was gonna go with the latest price.I was about to post the same link.
To those saying "unzipping now"; "cocks out"; "getting ready with the lube"...
Is it a normal to welcome a new player by having a wank to them?

He had a tweet up this morning that he knew that Sanchez would be moving to City and NOT United. It’s deleted now. Knobber.
Says the guy called Fridge Chutney. You're fooling nobody.
He's got his ears tucked into his cap. The feck is wrong with that boy.
Yes! It's a Caf tradition.
You're new here?
Here why is he in Salford? Is he close to Sanchez?
From years of lurking, it’s certainly the tradition.
It's a thing that happens here. It's crazy weird, I wish it would stop of they would work out some kind of filter.
He didn't sign yet ?
fair playIt would be abnormal, not to mention disrespectful, not to
6th felt pretty good when there were 2 trophies and Champions League football with it. Put us firmly in a position to take anyone we want from their bare bones squad.
Mertesacker has been 33 for about 10 years now tbf.
Tops Welbeck's "I was secretly wishing to play for Arsenal" quote.
If you want him you try and set the odds. People talks like it's just the two bidders involved - us and City - but there's Arsenal and Sanchez as well. Arsenal have to weigh up what the remaining months of his contract are worth before selling him. He has to weigh up what he wants, he'll get money either way. With us, he gets someone who really wants him not someone who left him waiting back last August.
