City need to outspend us at all costs. Otherwise Pep will throw his toys out of the pram and quit.

Thats why i said lots of ego will fall because not only the credible journos like dimarzio would look like a fool but us as fans and club would also look like a fool.
Sanchez is available and its not even a rumor, even wenger has admitted it.
Why i said club would also look like a fool, just imagine if in this transfer window, there are player that available and gettable like Sanche7 and Mahre7 and we opt to sign PSG reject (Lucas Moura) instead.
Anything else you want to add while you have your crystal ball? You do realize that Pep has never stayed at a club longer than 3 years. Not even at his club where he was adored as a player and manager.
Moreover you have ZERO clue what Sanchez or any attacking player thinks about playing for Mourinho. Yet you keep assuming and talking as if Pep is the one manager all players will choose above others.
Excellent article, and definitely one of the most balanced that I have seen.
Good read, echoes a lot of sentiments from here.
Great article and spot on .. i.e. if Sanchez justs wants the money he can de-camp to China for one last unbelievable pay cheque. The guy is a fighter and maybe being 'the' main man at United appeals to him as does the chance to challenge City next season.. and the Pep 'love in' is just a media invention rather than actual fact.
Great article.
DADDY WANT WANT WANT!
He's 29, in the last 3 years he's won a trophy probably worth to him as much as 10 PL titles - twice. As much as people want to pretend like city are going to dominate football for the forseeable, the plain truth is there really isn't that much difference between them and united when it comes to chances of winning the CL.
And going by Di Marzio's report and the latest about united's offer, by signing now for United Alexis stands to earn £10m more(total) than if he signed for city in the summer
It's a no brainer
This thread is absolutely mental 
In our country the expectation is very high since everything is uncertain so far.

What does this mean?
So........ Has it been 48 hours yet?
over 24 hours passed
Copa America.
I don't have a crystal ball and none of us know anything about what any professional footballer thinks. We can only guess, and thats what I did and why I wrote "I also think". If you're not allowed to speculate, then 90% of the posts on here should be deleted.
I never said all players would prefer playing for Pep, btw. I'm guessing that an all out attacker like Sanchez does, though.

There should be a better and/or younger alternative than Sanchez. The team needs a younger core imo
He doesn't think that. Klopp is up there with Pep. I'm curious who he thinks players would choose between Pep and Klopp.
Go on then.
Who?
Who is the better alternative we can get in January for £30m?
That he won the Copa America twice
By the way, for those who had doubts, Casillero del Diablo is a chilean wine 
Its genuinely annoying me now this idea that Man City is the romantic choice and United the money choice, and its quickly become the general consensus everywhere I read. I have never seen such widespread bitterness and delusion in my entire life. Souness has said it, carragher, ballague. Everywhere you read its stated as fact. Are Man City the only club who are allowed to build for a successful future now? What happened to everyone being proud of the PL being the most competitive in the world? It seems every man and his dog just couldn't bear the thought of United buying a world class player from under city's oil money fuelled noses. If this was the other way round, the media would be having a field day with Pep beating Mourinho to a target. If we want to pay more to get our man, whats the problem? Firstly, its our god damn money that we made ourselves, secondly surely that shows intent and shows that for once the board look to be prioritising on field matters over profit. Why is nobody picking this up? The bitterness and bias is exhausting. We are the most resilient fans on earth with the amount of pure BS said against us daily. I hope we see this over the line now. O guarantee if City come back in and meet Arsenals asking price and his wage demands, nobody will be saying he moved for money. Angers me
We already have a bunch of young players especially in our attack. What we need is a few more experienced players to help Martial, rashford, and even lukaku and Pogba. All 24 or under. Lingard is 25 but he's still relatively inexperienced because of his late development.
Copa? Even so, I doubt him winning the Copa means he doesn't care about winning the PL or CL.
Either way, we'll see soon enough. I hope to feck he's not going to United
If we sign Moura, I would believe it'll be because Jose sees some use of Moura in his plans and not because we were not capable of signing anyone else.
Gettable is a relative term. Right now the only thing between our offer and City offer is money, but if he doesn't wanna take the extra money, there is hardly anything we could do. Sanchez chose Arsenal in 2014, as he was pretty sure that he wants to move to a team in UCL only. There was nothing we could do at that time too.
I trust Mourinho's judgment on this so I'm optimistic but that's a very fair assessment.
We have plenty of young talented players. Martial, Rashford, Lukaku and Lingard are all young players still learning their trade. Even Pogba for how complete he is, is still really young in terms of midfielders. Now is the time to being in a true world class attacker who we know is doing to deliver and bring others along.
Insigne?
No , this squad needs exactly this. Player at his peak. We have only valencia as a player who needs to be replaced. Most of squad are 24-28 years old. Ddg, bailly, jones, pogba, lingard, lukaku plus rashford, martial, mensah, tuanzebe, pereira....
Future is bright. We need class. Now.
His contract is until 2020. No way we'd get him for 30m
Aubemyang...alright not quite £30mill but the fact that Arsenal will lose Sanchez and replace him with, possibly, Aubemyang is a stunning move.
Have to disagree, we have rashford, martial, pogba, lukaku, pereira, even in defense Shaw (if he stays fit), Bailly, Lindelof.
We need an established player or two actually, look at matic for example, he transformed our team.
No. Jose said he would sign someone in January if it was a special kind of signing. If we don't get him we will wait until the summer. Then likely be up against City and the usual suspects again.
The next Messi?
In what sort of way?
Yeah if they pull that off they've done good business.
If Arsenal can bring in Mkhi, Malcolm and Aubumenyang they've done very well.
I'd hate to be an Arsenal fan right now, it's bad enough knowing your best player wants out, as well as the second best player, and even a bench warmer - but it genuinely looks like he's going to one of their main rivals for a CL space.
Him going to City makes sense, they're gonna win the league regardless and Arsenal have a snowballs chance in hell of competing with them, but hugely strengthening a rival, one that looks like it could be caught and taken over is just madness. Sanchez will add another dimension to United, you lot will be much much stronger with him and be nailed on for second place. I'm sure the twits on AFTV will be acutely aware of this so they're gonna lose their shit over such a ridiculously moronic decision.

Saw this on reddit. Not sure if they're reliable or not. But in line with most of the links. My guess is that we gave Arsenal the option of like 25m and Miki, or 35-40m outright.
Wenger would get a heart attack seeing their weekly wages.
