We should have just bought him also when we bought Valencia to replace Ronaldo. We could easily got him for like £10m. He was just starting to glow glimpses of his potential back then.

That tagline is well deserved, amigo.
 
Mancini has declared City out of the race now apparently. Here's a (poorly translated) article from goal.com of his quotes. According to some folks on Twitter the quotes originate from Sky Italia.

So It seems as though its getting more and more likely that Udinese won't get the price they want for him. Will be interesting to see if they drop their price or if he ends up staying another season.
 
Rumours flying around that he's very close to signing for Barca now. Hopefully this saga can end for good now.
 
It would seem that he really wants to go to Barca and isn't interested in City. If we outbid Barca we will probably just find out that he doesn't want to come to us either although we have to be a better option than City.
 
Wonder what the reaction would be if Sky Sports suddenly announce SAF has secretly wrapped up a deal

We tried to, Udinese said no.

If his agent is to be believed, we've been trying to get him since he was playing in Chile. How ever when we came in for him, he had already signed for Udinese and we've been trying to get him ever since. We tried for £14 million the year Ronaldo left.
 
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has ruled out a summer swoop for Udinese's in-demand winger Alexis Sanchez.

The Chile international has emerged as one of the hottest properties in European football with a host of clubs all battling for his signature this summer.

City are understood to have tabled the highest bid for the 22-year-old - reported to be in the region of £30million - but Udinese value their prize asset at a staggering £44million.

Barcelona have rivalled the Eastlands outfit's interest in Sanchez and now Mancini has called time on his pursuit of the gifted wide man, despite holding positive initial talks with the player.

Mancini told Sky Italia: "I talked to Sanchez, he said he was willing to come to City.

"But after the last offer we are out of the race for the Chilean player."

Strange ending to that one.. If he says Sanchez was willing to come and he then says after the last offer it can means to things:

1. They bid for Sanchez and Udinese are saying thats not enough money
2. Barca/Another club made that 'last offer' and City know he would rather go there than to city so they are publicly backing out to save face..
 
:lol: At City. How can you pull out of a race you were never in.

Manchester United would like to announce we've pulled out of the race for Messi.

dont you know city are massive all the best players in the world are banging down their down to sign with them :lol:

barca will surely snap sanchez up and and somehow get cesc.. wonder who they will sellto recoup some of the cash..

whats the go with zlatan another year on loan at milan
 
Am I insane for STILL harboring hope that we will get him!?

Not really. City were leading the race, and have now pulled out. So that leaves Barca, who dont want to meet the valuation. Soomeone just needs to meet the valuation and he'll go.

Mancini said the player was up for moving to City, so if he would go to them he'd certainly go to us.

Mancini lied. He was as "up for it" as Kaka was :lol:

We're not stupid, we know that shitty would outbid everyone in order to get their man, they've been told flat out to get to feck.
 
What are the chances he stays at Udinese, could he move to another Italien club? Juventus are splashing the cash...
Barcelona have been targeting Fabregas ahead of anyone else it seems, if they get him they can't afford Sanchez, I thought they'd sell Thiago but even he's signed a new contract.

And you believe that shit?

For more then a few reasons I believe if they get Fabregas they would'nt be in for Sanchez, money probaly being the main reason, but also where he'd fit in, if Fabregas comes some believe that Iniesta will be pushed out to a wide position, where Sanchez would probaly have gone.

I get the "fitting in" part, I don't get the money part. Obviously Barca want to make out to everyone that they are skint in order to get better prices, being skint has never stopped them in the past.
 
I did have the feeling it was part of scheme revealing their budget, something I said earlier in the thread, that Barcelona revealed their budget as to lower the potential value of any target, with the way they go about their transfer dealings I suppose its still possible, they've turned both Fabregas' and Sanchez' heads so time will tell.

I knew there was something evil about those Barca cnuts...
