Saying Sanchez for £35 million isn't right, he's going to be on £200k a week plus on top of that fee. Plus he's set his heart on a move to City, so are you suggesting we waste our time pursuing him?
I'd be amazed if this happens.
Don't think it will this season, but at some point next
But why is his heart set on City? remember when we got RVP.. this is a sign that something about our attractiveness as a club, as a desirable destination isn't right or what it once was.
To be honest, I've always wondered what it would be like to see them paired up.. both are so one-footed and touchline hugging, would they get in each others way.. or take turns tearing past opposition full back down the outside leaving them exhausted.
Serious question? The combination of astronomical money, charismatic manager, beautiful football and almost unlimited trophy potential is a fairly heady mix.
Might be doing exactly this with Ozil
Sanchez is probably moving to City for the same reason RVP moved to us. He's 29, he hasn't won any major English honors at Arsenal and therefore he wouldn't mind moving to a meah city for a couple of years as long as he's got some guarantees of adding more medals in his cabinet. We're not that guarantee, City are.
I hope so. Also hope we don't go nuts though on a fee if we were to get him this January. If we are being honest, we don't have much of a chance in the CL, and its only the FA cup which we can win. Therefore anything over £30m for a player we can get on a free in the summer is not as justified as it is in the Sanchez scenario.. where they're going for quadruple and have a solid chance of going for that.
I think it was a tactical thing looking at his stats and clips from his through the seasons at PSG. Seems before last year he played closer to the touchline and was often looking to cross into the box for Ibra and Cavani coming into the box from the opposite wing. Last year it seemed with a more mobile attack he often looked to link up through the middle with Cavani, Di Maria, Pastore, etc.
This was against Barca last season when they won 4-0. He came on as a sub and barely made a move hugging touchline.
It was a rhetorical question. I'm arguing that we need make the club more attractive to big stars, skilful players. Right now, with a guy like Jose in charge, our drab football and the vibe we give off as a club that doesn't really have its shit sorted out.. its not a particularly attractive set up which means we are having to overcompensate with massive fees/wages to get players through the door. We need to win the hearts and minds of these players, not just entice them with money.
He aint getting the #7. Thats saved for Antoine Griezmann!
Every good player signed before 2015 is starting to look like a snip in hindsight – Even Sterling. City’s laundry list of trash includes Bony, Mangala, Nasri, Rodwell, Nolito, Bravo, Jovetic etc. Genuine shite.
Are you sure about the CL? He has not played in the comp but has been an unused sub. Still haven't worked out whether he is cuptied or not.

Very confident that Lucas would have a much bigger and better impact than Mata on the RW, weird to see anyone think different.
There is only two ways to achieve that
What rumour is that?
I'm still against persic in fairness
