Sorry, I never watch tennis, what does it mean to have Federer about him?

Not going to believe this until I see it on Chilevision!
He's obviously more likely to sign for City. Of course he is. But, no harm in offering both the club and player more than City are offering. We may turn is head. We may not and he'll just end up at City anyway. But there's certainly no harming in having a go.
We if we get him great, if we don't then I didn't want him anyway, he's average, not got enough followers on twitter, too old, head is too big for his body etc.
To old or something.
He does if he wants the move now, rather than in the summer.
City have offered a nominal fee and will wait for summer if its not accepted. If Alexis is keen to join City before July then something needs to happen to force City to pay what Arsenal will accept. Floating a United gazumping is one way to achieve that.
it's been so long since we lost a "race" for a player. I've forgotten what it felt like.
Dont want him, he will ony hinder the development of Gomes
Hopefully his transfer to City won't be done today so that we atleast get one night of watching Chilevision and reading El Mercurio
Floats about gracefully and smoothly, and will keep on playing to a high level into his 30s. Unlike Nadal who has run himself into the ground a la Rooney.
It pains me to say it, but why wouldn't you choose City right now? It's guaranteed silverware.
My guess is that City don’t want to sign him in January and are happy to wait until the summer to get him on a free. Sanchez obviously wants an EPL title and a crack at the UCL so they’re linking United to him to force city’s hand.
His agent had got a load of Serie A players which would explain why Di Marzio was the one breaking the news.
Sounds like the start of a shit Shakespeare play.
Exactly right, throwing uniteds name in the hat to force the issue.
ftfy.
I think the same. It's just his agent trying to force City's hand to pay up what Arsenal want. No better way to do that than claim your hated neighbours and rivals are bidding for him.
This is a win/win situation for United. If we get him, we get a quality player from under the noses of City. If we don’t get him, we push the price up.
Don't get even remotely excited, he will be in City shirt soon once these news popped up, it's because whether City to speed up the process or pay some more. We are used to this.
If any move happens, I doubt it'll be before January 31. So, this will run for twenty more days... grab the popcorn
There is a limit to how much they can spend, just like PSG who are trying to flog loads of players and signed Mbappe on a one year loan to comply with FFP. Sanchez's wages he will get at City, as reported by Di Mazrio the other day are crazy £400K+ a week.
No he doesnt, the same money he is demanding now will be higher when he is on a free transfer because of no transfer fee. Sanchez will want that nominal fee handed straight to him along with his wage demands if he goes on a free.
If you wait to get Sanchez on a free he'll cost the same as he is now; but just structured differently.
The agent seems to want the money now and not in summer
In both cases I would have preferred the other player
I really don't see this happening, but stranger things have happened.
You don’t want a winger because it’ll hinder the development of an attacking midfielder?
Any minutes Gomes could get, be it on the wing or centrally, is worth a lot. Sanchez is another versatile offensive body in his way.
Shit, i dont sound too convincing
That bloody Felicevich, he was doing the same thing during Vidal muppetry. Hearts were broken.
Just need an Instagram confirmation and then I may aswel order an ALEXIS 7 away jersey
why would be pay through the nose unnecessarily? we appear to be offering what we're offering and happy with that, really can't see us getting into a bidding war with yourselves and it'll only be for a couple of million more than we were prepared to pay.
Still not convinced
Sounds like arsenal are just trying to get City to pay more and get it done quickly.
I’ll splooge everywhere is he ends up here though

An I mentioned earlier, if they are just using our name we will make a statement denying any interest. We won’t want to publically lose out to city.
Unless we make a statement soon we can safely say our bid is real.
Arsenal have dismissed the united talk according to a tweet in the Twitter thread.
I don't think you'll convince him to turn up at your house.
Well why doesnt our club release a statement then. Fool me twice....
Feck me this took off. Anything in it? Last I heard Di Marzio said we'd offered Mkhi.
If true, it'd be great, because adding quality to the squad without blowing your budget is always good... and he isn't cup-tied for the Champions League.
Erm, Gomes is 17 years old and playing for our reserves. You can’t avoid signing a player that is borderline world class because you want to develop a 17 year old kid who has a very small chance of reaching a similar level. That would just be stupid wouldn’t it. If we were to develop Gomes, I’d rather see us sacrificing the minutes we’re giving Mkhitaryan, Mata, Herrera or Fellaini.
The amount of ‘This is just Arsenal and his agent getting city pay more’ brigade is so tiresome.
Why wouldn’t Utd be in for him? He’s a quality player who’d slot in perfectly.
If he decides to join City then so be it but least Utd would have tried.

Definitely he is signing for the side who eager to win the league, and pay more, which is City.
