If it happens, I give it 5 mins before Balague pulls out the money tripe.
John Cross is looking like a melon in this which makes it even sweeter after his earlier assurances.
I really don't see why City needs Alexis. They have a solid team and they are running away with the title. Why would they be desperate to enter a bidding war with us if we are desperate to get him?
With City, Alexis is in a weaker negotiating position. With United, he's in a stronger negotiating position. It's obvious which option people prefer when trying to earn more money and with Alexis, his issue at Arsenal has always been about better pay.

They can tell Sanchez's agent that they aren't budging, no reason to negotiate through the press, kind of absurd when you think about it. Face saving time if you ask me.
Nah, he will say either " no story there" or " i don't talk about other clubs players".[/QUOTE]
Sounds like City are trying to save face with 'cash over glory' comments and all their favourite journos saying similar?
I wonder how this is going down right now. Representatives from both clubs, possibly Arsenal too, in a meeting with player/agent?

But he won't spend it on moral grounds. He will however continue to take a huge salary from Arsenal while making them a feeder club for others
Lol
Mou is definitely going to say that we dont talk about other players
Socialism in one manager.
The press keep saying "We know he wants to play for city"... well how? Because city keep telling them?
It's hiliarious how this keeps happening, they position themselves that it's " play for our manager and great team OR choose the money option"
Like they aren't offering an absolute boat load of cash. If he really wants City then he will choose their great offer and football.

I cant stand that arse, I dont care what job you do and being a footballer is a job , you want to get paid the most amount of money you can.
He will win stuff at both clubs , there is no doubt about that, getting a shed load of money is the icing on the cake.
All of the press is so far pep's arse they can probably taste the food is chewing.
If city get this deal done, "United are shit negotiators who couldnt convince sanchez to sign, should have gotten him at any price etc."
If united get the deal done,"He moved cause of money, oh pep we love you, where is your arse i need to kiss it".
Not that is means anything but United are now favourites on SkyBet.
City are 2/1 so why not lump on that to make it easier to take when this whole thing goes to sh*t.

Skybet just want your money. Don't be a mug
If we are interested we will definitely pay more than 20m.
Interesting this. Think it will be done by midweek.

Think Lukaku is 250k.
Feels incredibly like the Laporte deal when he signed a new contact and 10 minutes later every single English media outlet ran with an identical article saying "City calm about Laporte, only wanted him as a left back anyway, so there".
Oh I never bet on things like this!
City trying to force the issue here, hoping Sanchez will hang about till the summer. Hope he tells them to get fecked while sat in a bath of millions sent from us.
love that City are pushing the narrative of big bad moneybags United
I think they are more pushing the narrative of Sanchez being about the money. What were the reported figures for an immediate transfer? €20M signing bonus and €17-18M annual wages, plus €25M transfer fee. That´s €125M for a four year deal and no re-sell value at the end. That´s for a luxury player in the eyes of City. I can understand why they´d walk away.
At the same time I can understand why United goes all-in, especially if they can dump Mkhitaryan onto Arsenal in the process. The same Arsenal that now has the head scout that once brought Mkhitaryan to Dortmund.
This is a possible win (United) - win (Arsenal) - win (Sanchez)- win (Mkhitaryan)- don´t care (City) situation.
Wow things getting real. Now there will be no news next couple of days before we hear he is heading to City?
IMO City will convince him to stay until the summer.

Why is there even one person doubting we should be all in for him?
Best available superstar going for a discount rate. Just turned 29 so you'll at least get 3 decent years out of him. Suprised more teams aren't after him, considering the astronomical value paid to unproven talent. For a mere 25-30 mil you are getting a top 3 EPL player. I'd say it's a coup for whoever signs him. Worth at least 120m in my opinion for the value he will bring.
All this negative stuff about him chasing money and not working hard is silly. He is doing that because he isn't get paid what he believes the should. It's mind boggling how underpaid he is for being a world class wide player. Look at what Neymar, Bale, Griezmann get paid. He's easily on that level so can't blame a guy for wanting what he's worth.
Sign him and we fix our biggest need - a world class wide player. Sanchez on one side Martial on the other, Lukaku and Pogba through the middle. Good luck Europe, I'm sure you will be able to outscore us, it's not like Mourinho is a good defensive coach or anything.

No, I actually like your 'United is so inferior to every other club' attitude.
Sounds awful.
Is it just me that hates journos with a passion?
All this seems like a very public negotiation to me. City must be pretty sure that United have no real interest for them to threaten to walk away from the deal.
Ah, a team of galacticos for you then.
Right back: Valencia was arguably the best rb in the league last season. Still good. Fosu-Mensah is good back-up.
8: Herrera was great last season, been rubbish this season, but he looks to be regaining some form. Then we have McTominag and Pereira for depth. Same goes for Carrick replacement.
CB: we are better stocked than city
10: Lingard is tearing it up and Mata is good. Sanchez can also play there. With the formation suggested, we won’t play with a 10.
Bench striker: Rashford!!!
your paranoia is incredible
Clearly a City mole here
Surely this is just a little bit of Mourinho mischief? Jose must be bored sitting in that hotel room of an evening and decided to have a little fun.
Now this smokescreen is out he could put in offers for the other 13 players that today's Yahoo feature says that we are "chasing", "interested in", "keen on", "pursuing", "hoping to sign", "monitoring" or "wanting to welcome to O.T." Much as it ever was, I suppose.....
