Calm down fella...
This looks like a stunning signing at whatever the price. Arsenal have truly fecked this up.
Arguably past his best now. Still think he'll be very good but hardly an improvement on Aguero.
If this done pan out, then fair fecks to City for just getting on with spending money.
They knew they had to and they have done everything to put together, what is looking like, a brilliant side. We may hate them but that is the truth.
Sanchez would be a brilliant signing for anyone. In this current City or Liverpool side he will be outrageously good.

Their attacking depth is ridiculously way ahead of us.
This.
They already been scoring goals, I don’t think Sanchez is a bigger improvement than their attacking trio. I would be more worried if they signed Griezmann or Dybala.
Who will Arsenal look to in order to replace him? Could Mahrez be attainable or will Leicester be unwilling to negotiate on this one till at least the summer? Is Lemar a possibility or he is simply way too ambitious a target for Arsenal in their predicament and probably a good deal more likely to join someone like Liverpool?
Probably wants trophies actually.
I actually think Aguero will get sold in the summer and be replaced by somebody of that younger ilk. I think Dybala would be fantastic but he’d cost a fortune above what Aguero could be sold for. I just think Pep prefers Sanchez to Aguero and this is the method to replace him by getting him in 6 months early to cover Jesus’ injury and chase trophies this year.
Arsenal won more than you last season. Just saying...Probably wants trophies actually.
This looks inevitable doesn't it ?
However I don't say he'll be of that great impact. Their attack looks already great anyway and he'll be entering his 30 next season. He'll probably replace Aguero who might leave this summer once and for all.

I never understood fans, especially United fans crying foul of players going after money. Like damn, if I had job offers from three companies for the same job and one was paying twice the others I wouldn't even think twice. It's not like we don't splash out on extravagant wages either.
Chequebook manager strikes again
But on a serious note , this is a massive signing and shows how far the oil money clubs are going from clubs like us. I doubt any other club would make such an impact signing if they had lost their player to injury. Moreover he can also play in CL, massive signing to an already established attack.

Well According to the papers, we get “snubbed” every week. Even by players we havent even been in for
But yeah, Aguero would never make the switch. Hazard would even be more likely, I think.
Actually I think we could persuade him to join. Looks like hes unhappy at City after being benched more often than not. Hes likely to lose his place with Sanchez joining and Jesus being younger. A cheeky bid and he could join kind of like Tevez did, the other way, all those years ago.
Top player, not lost anything IMV. The situation might prey on him a bit. The only way this goes sour is if he starts moaning at his new teammates when things to come off. 20 or 35m, steal.
There is not even a 0.0000000001% chance that City would sell Aguero to United ffs
you can't seriously believe that?There is not even a 0.0000000001% chance that City would sell Aguero to United ffs
Looks really unhappy to me. Could join to spite you guys.
1. No he wouldn't.
2. City would never sell him to you and his contract still has a few years.
It isn't like they are skint so it would serve no purpose
Very true. So did Blackburn in 1995.
Probably wants trophies actually.
Bayern pulled out because he wanted £400k a week to join them.
City would still need to sell.
Or... both.
I’d bet you 400k a week that he’s not on 400k a week at City. United offered him 450k a week this morning and he turned it down. Rumours are easy to make up.

It was widely reported that he wanted £400k a week on his next move. City will pay him an insane signing on fee on top of his wages.
There is still a chance he signs a new contract at Arsenal if they qualify for the next champions league.
It was widely reported that he wanted such money from the likes of PSG and Bayern, which could have easily been just a leak from his agent so they'd stop bothering. Unless you know something which we regular posters do not.
Best joke of 2018
Dafaq? There is talk of City signing him this month.
No. That’s definitely not going to happen.
How much do you think you will pay him a week, the signing on bonus and the length of the contract for a a 29 year old player?
Why would he want to stop other clubs from trying to sign him, even if he has no interest in signing for them it gives him leverage in any negotiations with City.
Do you think if he just told them to stop contacting him, they would start stalking him with contract offers?
This signing will be a blessing in disguise for Utd, because it's such a ridiculous statement of attacking riches that it totally tips the scales on what the Glazers are putting back into the club.
Being that far ahead and then signing Sanchez, in January, will shift so much focus onto the investment into Utd (as all news stories about City are always using Utd as a comparison).
It will highlight that this Utd side needs 2 elite level signings ASAP if the club wants to even keep up with City...
And if that doesn't come, the pressure will gradually start to increase on the Glazers.
That's my prediction anyway.

Why should an agent do this? Thats like counterproductive to what an agent should be doing.

Well isnt it a case of Arsenal wanting 35m to let him go in Jan?
Di Marzio says £13m/year net. Personally I think he's mixing up net with gross, since in Italy we generally only talk about net figures...
Arsenal are such a badly run club that it defies belief. Alexis Sanchez with a proper contract was a 75+ million player , they were rumoured to have been offered 55 million in the summer and now 4 months later they are getting 20 million. No idea who makes the financial decisions but shit like this would get you fired in any other business
You really think, we would sell Sanchez on the last day of the summer transfer window without a replacement? It was to late to get Lemar, so of course we haven't sold him. I dont know how it was backstage, but City made their bids in the last week of the window and their final bid on the last day.
Option 1 sounds perfect - He signs in January, Arsenal get £20m, he gets a £15m signing bonus - More importantly Sanchez could win 2-3 trophies in 5 months. I'd go in this window.
Wishful thinking.
Needless to say it’s a class signing. They don’t have competition in the PL but he could potentially take them further in the CL. cnuts.
