United bid for Sanchez...lmao!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5260323/Arsenal-stop-Alexis-Sanchez-joining-Manchester-United.html

Rumours are they have bid £20m or will include Mkhytarian in the deal...we'll bid £25m...AFC want close to £30m.

Can't see him going to United....in fact, it'd be quite funny if he snubs them and signs for us.

It all sound like a load of bullshit. 

It could so easily be put out by Arsenal so we'll pay more than we've currently offered. Remember the absolute bollocks in the summer that we were offering Sterling for Sanchez? Who put that crap out there?

Or Jose is putting this out there to distract us. He's been away in Dubai and left a hand grenade that Pep will have to deal with in his press conference.

Jose's already got Conte hopping around, he's trying with Pep but everything has failed as we're so far ahead. He's always in Wenger's head and wants to disrupt Klopp and Pochetino too.

That just the kind of buffoon he is.

It's still annoying though because it will force us to pay the 35m that Venger wants.

Maybe this is them getting us back for the extra 20m we made them pay for Berbatov 

They're definitely trying to throw a spanner in the works:

Sanchez wants to rejoin Pep....end of.

Utd can bid £50m if they want, Sanchez still won't go wheher Arsenal accept it or not.

City should pay no more than £25m, knowing full well he'll be coming to City for nothing in a few months if they don't accept it.

John Cross from the Mirror just said that Sanchez is almost guaranteed to go to City before the end of the window. He doesn't want United...simple as.

the same john cross who said pep wanted to swap sterling for sanchez... ??? lets hope he gets at least 1 right before he hangs up his pen

City apparently only willing to pay £20m according to SSN.

Proper hard ball, which is good. It'll show one thing...does Sanchez want the money or the trophies with Pep.

Think he said Wenger wanted Sterling as part of the deal, not Pep.

Just saying exactly the same to my gooner mate at work.   This is all the agent after money.  £5 agent fees WTAF !!

If he goes to United he wasn't the player for us.   They have Mata already in similar position and don't know how to use him.

If his agent wants £5 as part of the deal, and that's holding it up...Txiki wants fucking off! 

Ha Ha if it was a fiver I would pay it :-)

Personally I’m happy with the club playing hardball. Might be different if we didn’t have such a big lead at the top of the table, if AS really wants trophies he will sign for us if not he will go to the rags. I hope we do get him, but it’s more than just about this transfer window it’s about showing that the club will not be held to ransom. The next time a player runs down his contract Arse will think twice about playing silly buggers.

Arsenal were arseholes in the summer.

They should have trousered the £60M early doors and, if the Lemar move didn't go through, they should have gone for Mahrez for about £50M.

Yes I think they must be kicking themselves that they didn’t pocket the £60M since then AS has been s**t as you would expect from a player whose heart is not in it.

Arsenal want 35 million so I have just read. If that is true & the agent wants 5 million then I say leave him to uniturd. they will  be the ones who have been mugged off. Sanchez holds all the cards here. If he really is adamant that he wants to play for City,Pep & also win trophies then even if Arsenal accept a bid from Uniturd Sanchez does not have to agree personal terms. He can then leave  for free in the summer stuffing Arsenal right up as they then will have to fork out for a striker rather than using the cash they could have received for him as part of the fee. I just hope Sanchez is true to his word which really would put show Uniturd they are not the big draw they seem to think they are & that not everyone just goes for the money.

If Sanchez doesn't come to us, Uniturd will have a great deal for £40m. Im sure they wont give a toss about paying an agent £5million if thats what it takes.
Reckon it's all part of the haggling game. We'll probably fork out £35million

Guess it's all about what Sanchez wants - £ or titles.

He could have both and just say "I'll wait til the summer"...

Not sure for him that money is the motivating factor right now...as I'm sure City would just add in great bonuses into the contract and give him a nice signing on fee, now or in the summer.

In the summer, he'll get in the region of £30m as a signing on fee. He'll probably get £8-10m now if he signs....

It's all down to the players ambition.

Well this has just gotten interesting....

Still think this will come down to Sanchez's ambition and how much he wants to play for Pep.
Sign for us now, he's nearly guaranteed a PL winners medal...the possibility of a cup medal and a good shot at the CL title. 

If it's money, he can wait and choose whoever in the summer. I'm not sure Pep will go for him in the summer, he may use the money for another target.

If they are going to offer him £350k pw....Pogba will want at least parity.....and we're buying the league? 

The craziest notion of all this is the United mentality that they think this will actually derail us. I really like our stance in this, many me included asked if we really need Sanchez, it will mean the end of Sergio.

Yes he is a great player, but not at all costs.

Why did all this BS flare up about Sanchez and united bidding? I think it was meant to try and put Pep and the team off as that's been a big talking point recently. Pep tried to knock it away at his presser, but it's there and people are talking about it.

You'd think the rags would want us to beat LFC today....

By all accounts....Sanchez has been dropped from the squad for today's game and the notion is, that he will take the ££££ and move to United, with them offering close to £400k pw, a massive signing on fee, a huge bonus to his agent and £30m to Arsenal.

Fuck me...if that's the case, they're welcome to him. 

I'd really like him at City, as I do think we need another attacking player who CAN play in a 9 role....but for that money, it's bonkers for a 29 year old.

Guess it's all down to what the player wants.

wait til it's all over.....

Apparently rags have said he must sign before Friday or they withdraw offer.

Still think he's coming to City.

If however he does go to the Rags, his intentions will have been about money all along...so enjoy Stretford I say.

Ahh....no, it's about the project, apparently!!!

United fans only have to answer 1 simple question if he signs for them:

1. Why offer him £350k - £400k pw, a massive signing on fee, a massive £10m to his agent and £30m to Arsenal.....if it's about the project and not the money?

If they can answer that....fair enough.
