This, ffs.
Time and time again I'm begging myself to not get too invested in our transfer business and just let it happen naturally. If someone signs then he signs, if not, then that's ok, too (just kidding, feck you Griezmann pls sign). But feck that, I love the roller coaster of a good muppet season. I just don't care anymore. Give me Alexis, give me the meltdown. My body is ready either way.
I agree in principle and have thought the same for most of this saga but on further thought... what sort of achievement would that be for him really? As a competitive pro I can’t imaging that being something he’d be getting excited over.
“Please agent, I really want this free Premier League medal that is on offer, make it happen!”
Now if we’re talking about potential UCL medal, fair enough, or future league titles but they can come with a summer signing.
I don't think he's a ITK for transfers but he is a friend of Rojo and he leaks our Starting XI 15-20 minutes before it's official.
Still huh
Yeah, he certainly seems to have some contact within the club.I don't think he's a ITK for transfers but he is a friend of Rojo and he leaks our Starting XI 15-20 minutes before it's official.

I'm skeptical, but oh well
Feck it
I said yesterday something has spooked City, either Sanchez/Agent/Arsenal have now increased their demands to what City had originally thought was set in stone at a lower price for January. The 15 point lead will come into play too. Also from what ive heard, Arsenal fecked us about in August and Soriano thought they took the piss out of us regarding that. So maybe now thats why we are sticking with this £20 million offer. Its what Alexi's next move is going to be. He clearly doesn't even want to wait until the season's over, burnt every bridge there.
So he's hoping Arsenal except our lower offer or he comes to you guys, who are prepared to meet the financial package. He ain't staying past January's deadline day. I'm certain of that.
This really is a flick of a coin, good fun though
Mourinho on Alexis Sanchez and January transfer signings: "Sometimes it can happen, or can appear on the table, a fantastic opportunity. Then you fight for that fantastic opportunity”.
Yeah he said that in the presser yesterday was it? Old quotes
Exactly this. Money wise, both United and City could offer around the same if they want. What we probably offer ahead of City is a more important role where he can make a clear difference to step us up a level. City's already the best. Plenty of cases in the past where a player prefers to join the team where he can be the difference maker to step them up to the top level, instead of joining a team already at the top and will just be "part of the system".
@Jim Beam
Spot on Jim, everybody is judging this on face value and previous assumptions.
This winner, this player who would only go to the best, left Barcelona so he could join Arsenal.
How many guaranteed titles did he sacrifice then?
Dammit I'm a tad invested in this..

Think it's the embargoed part of the press conference. Same quotes more or less, phrased differently.

"So let's say in the summer we have three targets - a defender, a midfielder and an attacking player - if, in the winter, you do one of the three, then in the summer you are going to do three minus one.
"We like our squad, we believe in our squad - it's just about improving it in a balanced way. So if we do something now, it has to be something we really believe is the right thing to do for the team."

Ah, right. Cheers

Pep deserves a fair price because the sun shines out of his arse apparently.
They didn’t mess City about either, they failed to sign their replacement Lemar so couldn’t sell him.
Fe.k it, I'm in.

Never understood why City officials felt so agreieved in the summer - they made their first bid for Sanchez 24 hours before the deadline. So despite courting him all summer and being ‘desperate’ to sign him, somehow it was Arsenal’s fault for not playing ball in the final hours.
If Sanchez does go to City, they might risk upsetting their team balance.
There's only so many egos you can have in a dressing room before it starts to sour, and added to guardiola and his rotation you never know.

Seems to line up perfectly with all the reliable journos. We know City are the preferred destination. However we have attempted to hijack with some interest from Arsenal/agent keeping us in the game.
So you are that guy?
shame on youMust be pretty amazing for Chilean United fans
Yes! The ppl at the mufc chile fb fanpage are like crazy following this saga. Most of them think this is a done deal thought. Im still far from convinced
If Sanchez goes to City, Aguero leaves. So in that sense, it’s like for like.
Jose is channeling Big Shaq?
Jose is channeling Big Shaq?
Roadman JoseSo if we buy Sanchez now, we wont sign an attacker in summer?
Get the feck in there Jose
Forget Di Marzio - this school kid leaked Sanchez to Man United 11 months ago
He basically says in that article that any position he buys this winter he won't buy in summer. Dybala
Aye, same here.
Probably because seeing the amount of Pep and City nonsense in the media, it would be so feckin beautiful to get him.
It would end any interest in Griezmann, Dybala, Bale etc.
I'd take that with a pinch of salt. If we were to sign Sanchez, I'd still think we'd be in for Ozil and (for the squad) a more defensive midfielder. Quite likely a left back too. Looking at at least 2 players leaving, if not 5 or 6.
Nah...we aint in for Sanchez
We're definitely in for him, but that doesn't necessarily mean we'll get him.Nah...we aint in for Sanchez
