I dunno there is just something weird about how all of a sudden he is demanding 400k where he was supposed to have already agreed a deal worth 250k. It actually reminds me of Real/Barca trying to discredit players through their sources in the media when the player rejects them.

Imagine :pac:

He didnt agree deal with city, that was the deal city had in place for him.

Doesnt sit easy with me that he has his heart set on city and he could be forced to move to united given the figures involved and it stinks of desperation that we would pay arsenal 25m plus mkhitarayan, give sanchez 400k a week for 3 and half years and give him a 15m signing on fee on top of that.

There is no way he would be getting forced to sign for United. If he signs for United it is because he wants to sign for United (whatever the reason). If he wants to sign for City he is well capable of agreeing a deal with them.

To say he would be forced to sign for United is laughable.

Absolutely no one is reporting this.. where are you getting that from? They are offering 25m and then giving Arsenal a chance to buy Mkhi from us, I’d say it would be like we sign Sánchez for 25m and you sign Mkhi for 20m.. something like that..

Also wasn’t the signing on bonus only if he signed on the summer instead of now forgot mullock mentioned this but think the fee is exaggerated.

“City hope he will put medals before money” defo looks like it came straight from city

Was it any more laughable than falcao going to monaco, tevez and mascherano to west ham? Players forced into the moves by agents. I would even say di Maria had his arm twisted to move to united. Something about players from south america and their agents/owners

Supposedly that’s the figure that Arsenal want to sell this window.. Everywhere reporting United bid 25 and City 20.. I’m sure there will be negotiations and a compromise in between..

The simon Mullock piece reads a lot like it was put out from City imo

bangkok

Total cost of sanchez deal for 3 and a half years is nearly 120m!!!!! Mental

According to most reports it’s that City are refusing o pay him 300k as it will break their wage structure for him, and are offering him 250k which is what their highest earner (Aguero) is on and also refusing to pay more than 20m. The reports say that United are willing to pay both

Still don't believe that story I haven't seen anything creditable from a decent source that we have even looked at him.

Edit: Wenger just said he don't want to give wrong information and a bidding war would be beneficial to arsenal.

DiMarzio is as decent as they come, would still have contacts with Sanchez camp from his Udinese days. Ed Aaron’s was one of the first to break it with Romero and he is decent Arsenal source..

Uniteds press officer reply was that they were “not aware of any bid made”

He will go this window, his lack of contribution this season means it is time to cash in. They will keep Ozil who is still going well.

Yeah I agree, he was asked about Sanchez drop in form and said he thinks he is still giving the same as last year (something to that effect)

This is what he said when asked about the bid

Pogba is on 201k a week.

Last season zlatan was on 367640 per week and got 2.86m for being top scorer.

He’s only on 140/160k this year though.. think Pogba could be the highest earner at 201/205k so

Edit: Dave and Lukaku would probably be close to that figure too

Think De Gea must be around 200k as Courtois has pretty much asked for parity with him and the rumoured figure is 200k a week.

Yeah he got a big increase the last time he signed after the Real fiasco.. He deserves it in fairness he’s a WC player essential to the team..

Due another raise at this stage.

Fair play to Woody for keeping him, I think he should have let Rooney go but the De Gea work was brilliant in the end.

yabadabado

If Pogba is on 250k or there abouts its madness to even think about giving Sanchez 400k.
I know it's not my money etc but paying that kind of money sets a precedent and everyone else at the club or joining will want some sort of parity.

Sanchez would without doubt improve the side but I'd rather a cm and a RW was bought this month.

Kerrydude1981

Wenger is of course hoping a bidding war will start

And if Utd have offered Mickey as an exchange then Wenger must be hoping that City will also offer a player

Sanchez will demand more than he actually wants or gets. But I can see him getting north of 300k anyway. Sure, we were paying Rooney round 300k. Ibrahimovic, pre-injury, was high. We paid RVP 250k-ish when he joined 5 years ago.

If we want a top tier player, we're going to have to offer higher wages than teams like City, or comparative wages to a PSG, to secure them. Inflation has hit football big time in recent years, and it shouldnt be a shock that when clubs are getting inflated fees for players, the players will want that inflation reflected in their own pay packets as well.

Mitch Connor

I would also be surprised if the high figure for Ibra was not inclusive of the signing on fee, paid over the length of his contract.

Not going to happen. Just using it to stick an extra 0 on his wages. Don't waste your time thinking about it. I'd sooner see an Un unproven prospect than this ****e. Ozil and Sanchez are talked up as they aren't cup tied. Only a short term solution which will carry a massive wage for years. A player in their early 20s is what we want not a last big pay deal for a mercenary. In 18 months time we'd be up in arms with these two players and their massive wages and they'd be contributing 0 to the club. I'm certain of it. Move on to someone else for jaysus sake

Why is everyone so negative about this? If it happens it happens. If it doesn't it doesn't.
And this odd conclusion that if you 29 you should be in a wheel chair.
What harm is it buying a player in his prime? It doesn't all have to be potential, potential potential.

Rvp wanted to join utd. Sanchez wants to join city. We are just throwing obscene money at him to have a change of heart.

The Kermit GIFs are well and truly under wraps. No transfer muppetry until players are standing pitch side with a jersey.

Speaking of Muppets,French media saying both us and Madrid are after Neymar for €500 million....lol.

clubberlang12

Too many lads here playing the likes of Football Manager thinking it's simple to develop potential in the likes of 20/21 year old players. It doesn't happen like that. Our most in form player at the minute is only now really starting to show proper development at 25 years of age. Can't believe that some are against signing a top level player like Sanchez. Granted this year is form hasn't been great. ok but not great, but the dog in the street knows why. On his previous seasons form he's actually a level, or levels , above what we have at the club. Hadn't realised 29 was retirement age these days!! I mentioned yesterday how having better players around them each day will actually aid the development of our youngsters, not hinder it. City have the 2 best performing youngsters in the league in Sane and Sterling at the minute.........I don't see anyone crying about City signing Sanchez hindering their development. Pep is strengthening his squad.........which is exactly what we need to do to compete.
