Probably wants trophies actually.
Ahh, bluemoon fans are so naive. Thats the last thing on his mind right now. He knows that the team that will offer him the most, probably has the squad and the money to achieve trophies.

So trophies isn’t the last thing on his mind then? If he was just interested in money alone he could have taken a massive contract at Arsenal last summer. Money will always be a factor for players now, but it’s particularly naive to think City aren’t an attractive trophy proposition now for top players, as we sit 15 points clear at the top of the PL, still in 3 cups.Ahh, bluemoon fans are so naive.

According to Di Marizo, you just lost 400k.I’d bet you 400k a week that he’s not on 400k a week at City.
Doesn’t matter who they sign, we are miles behind in quality and can’t see that changing any time soon!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.
He used to be, but he's grown into something more altogether. It seems his connections go so deep in Italy, that if the player is wanted in Italy he'll have the scoop on them.isn't di marzio only reliable with italian teams/players?
How’s Fabinho been in your midfield this season? What does Di Marzio know about anything. He also states a £15M sign-on bonus on Jan or £25M in summer. Sounds like a man who wants to cover a couple of bases.According to Di Marizo, you just lost 400k.

If they were genuinely asking that to stay then they’d have got it. £13m a year all in, it’ll cost Arsenal FAR more than that to replace each player with equally talented players factoring in transfer fees plus wages. More likely is that he wants to leave and compete for the top trophies before his legs go in a few years.He was asking for £260,000 per week and Arsenal were refusing. Same with Ozil
It is pretty sad...who wouldve thought at the time that the CL final was the peak of Arsenal in the modern era. IMO Wenger under achieved with that team, and definitely should have won more. The fact that he never retained a league title, or won the CL makes it difficult to consider him a truly great manager IMO.There are many reasons he'd prefer City than any other club in England:
-money, let's be honest, no brainer
-trophies, city are easily most poised to not only win this season but the next one as well. They are atleast favorites to.
The other rivals: Chelsea are not that good now despite winning it last year they look on off this season. United, while showing good progress, are still in Top 4 after a few years and still are not the 2013 levels. Spurs and Liverpool are not even in the picture.
This is how I feel as an Arsenal fan. Aside from feeling fecking depressed that we have become nothing more than a selling club to our rivals. Disgrace its come to this.

Still won't be near the money he will get at City considering the signing on fee and massive wages. I wouldn't say he is motivated by money alone but this is a good situation to be in for a player.So trophies isn’t the last thing on his mind then?

Can I have the lottery numbers as well.I think he will improve us so much. Sometimes we only need that one talisman to get us going. Kind of getting Larson, Owen, Smith or the most obvious Cantona. That little spark via a cheeky transfer.
I would play him left, Rashford in the middle, but you can have Lukaku in the middle, Rashford on the right.
Martial will not be with us for a long time. Maybe end of next season. But we trade him for Sanchez.

Yup same here. Citys squad is so strong at this point Id forgotten that Bernardo Silva and Gundogen even played for them until the weekend. Crazy.City. They don't even need him. Doubling down on shameless oil money fuelled success. If we're all supposed to stand and applaud at the end of the season count me out. Congrats on buying everthing in sight
Those two players have managed 46 appearances between them this season, just watch more football.Yup same here. Citys squad is so strong at this point Id forgotten that Bernardo Silva and Gundogen even played for them until the weekend. Crazy.
Mystery how we havent even been linked at any point even by the unreliable sources.
May be that is a positive and we'll sign him out of the blue.Yup same here. Citys squad is so strong at this point Id forgotten that Bernardo Silva and Gundogen even played for them until the weekend. Crazy.

That is just what they earn at face value. In the Middle East football players when they win trophies are bombarded with gifts including villas, vintage cars and paintings. Man City is representing Abu Dhabi to the world. You can bet players are told what they would be recieving as gifts for joining and winning.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.
I dont watch City often (superstition going back to 2012 when I turned on the tv to see them vs Spurs and Balotelli scored last minute penalty) but my point being that its easy to forget how much quality they have because they are literally spoiled for choices.Those two players have managed 46 appearances between them this season, just watch more football.
No doubt. Di Mazrio is reporting the wages as north of £400k gross, before the substantial signing on onus he will get for running down his contract.That is just what they earn at face value.

It's pathetic now to be honest they're just far exceeding anything clubs have been accused of in the past. And come May he'll be convincing himself he "won" a title, having spent half the season behaving like a petulant teenager. Suit eachotherYup same here.

Let’s agree to disagree. You think City offer money, and I think they pay well and offer trophies.
I disagree actually. There's very little United can do about City so far having the greatest domestic season in Premier League history and also being absurdly rich. Isn't it only logical some players would want to join such a team? Only a year and a half ago one of the most sought after midfielders in Europe chose us over Real Madrid. That doesn't fit the narrative.Or... both.
Yep generally. Often Raiola's clients, too. Wouldn't pay much attention to the rest.isn't di marzio only reliable with italian teams/players?
You don't get how it works, even though it is obvious. If a player leaves on a free he gets a bigger signing on bonus as the buying club doesn't have to pay a transfer fee. If Sanchez signs this month he loses some of that fee because City have to pay Arsenal something.If they were genuinely asking that to stay then they’d have got it. £13m a year all in, it’ll cost Arsenal FAR more than that to replace each player with equally talented players factoring in transfer fees plus wages.

Never thought I'd be saying that I feel sorry for Arsenal supporters, but I do..!!Arsenal are a fecking joke
The Emirates Stadium build, Abramovic and Abu Dhabi... Wenger doesn't help himself sometimes, but he's had a challenging few years.Mate in 2004 I was giddy that we'd start a dynasty.
To be honest I think Wenger bears too much of the brunt, the owners are also crooks for allowing certain things to happen.Never thought I'd be saying that I feel sorry for Arsenal supporters, but I do..!!
The way Wenger is running things, its as though he just doesn't give a toss anymore.
