Subscriber Dan+ Posted January 12, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted January 12, 2018 Bloody hell apparently Man Utd actually did enquire about Vardy, but it's highly unlikely to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile the Chelsea board are circle jerking over a photo of Andy Carroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Take Man Utd's offer. He wont win the league there this season, we get a player that we can restore to being good in Mkhitaryan and he'll annoy the piss out of Mourinho by giving the ball away 20 times a game.

Their sources are just quoting other people. It’s not just the 20 million it’s the fees agent wise which is an issue I think. Not just what arsenal want.

I actually think it's more of a case of City knowing Alexis wants to sign only for them, so they are walking away until the summer where they can get him on a free. Think considering it's Arsenal and the fact Sanchez probably prefers to play with Pep, leaves us out of the quesiton. Our board are thick, but not that thick.

It really is hard to know what is real or not. It would be a shame not to sign Alexis but if he wants more money over winning then thats up to him. His wage demands could be the issue again and he certainly doesn't deserve more than KDB. If he stays at Arsenal then just sign him in the summer on a free will do. We don't need him to win trophies but would sure help for the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if he doesn’t deserve more wages than Kevin de Bruyne... It’s hard to say he doesn’t to be honest because aside from the turmoil that has been this season, he has been one of the highest performing and outstanding players in the Premier League. He also came from Barça where he won it all and helped his country to two consecutive Copa América. If like I started with, we’re going to base his worth on this season, then that’s an error because everyone knows what’s been happening and it has nothing to do with what can deliver. He wanted to go in the summer and he was made to stay because he still has time remaining on his contract... It was almost like being punished because the club could’ve got a bit more money in the summer for him and we’ve had a moping player on our hands (Arsenal) that hasn’t offered as much as he can and has been less professional than Coutinho for example who was also dying to leave his club but offered some brilliant performances when played. Why does KDB deserve more wages than Alexis? Alexis is the icing on the cake in your attack as far as I’m concerned and the only thing that needs to be thought about that more down the line is who the replace Agüero with, but that for the summer.

KDB deserves more wages as you can argue he's the best midfielder in the world and if city wins the PL and CL will be among the favourites for Ballon D'Or Alexis is obviously a great player who can make any team better and has had a good career but wages of 400,000 would be too much when city do have a wage structure in place afterall and him making loads more than everybody else wouldn't go down well.

Danny Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Sanchez is interesting, both United and City after him...I'm surprised Chelsea haven't put a bid in. I think either way Sanchez will do well whoever he chooses, but for me City is guaranteed silverware whereas there's a chance they could block United out of it next season and even the season after. He's 29 now, the next club he goes to needs to the right decision or he could be in his 30s wondering whatever happened to his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFCMadLad Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 No way should City make Sanchez their highest paid player, not even close. Apart from anything else he’s touching 30 and is only going to decline from here on in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Bruyne is the best midfielder in the world in what sense? Midfield encompasses many positions and factors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love De Bruyne and I've sung his praises enough this season and last year! I've said that out of all the players at City he understands best Pep's system and that isn't easy and is a big accolade considering he wasn't brought up in Spain. But from there to a sweeping statement that leaves holes I don't know. Edit: Not your statement mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFCMadLad Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 I’d say KDB walks into any midfield in Europe. That to me says he’s one of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from there to saying he’s the best in the world in that position is a big statement. The best for you I suppose... Even at 33 I’d rather have Iniesta who is a legend of the game. Without a doubt though De Bruyne has the ability to be the best there when Iniesta retires... That’s my catch on it. But on the wages detail... Alexis has achieved more and as things stand he is of a superior status and can demand more than De Bruyne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexis has achieved more and as things stand he is of a superior status and can demand more than De Bruyne. Just my opinion though, He's got to do it year after year to be historically great though. That is what Iniesta has done. In terms of the past 10 years he is the best I've seen personally. I'm basing things on this year only. While Alexis can demand more It wouldn't help the team for a player to be getting paid so much more than everybody else., Thats my main point really. Wage wise it is very well balanced with the best players at City. I do think Alexis needs to lower his demands from what has been said for this to happen in january. I don't think city mind paying 20 million signing on bonus in the summer but a transfer fee plus signing on i think will be too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just trying to point out that amongst your best I think he’s up there with them if he performs to his highest level which under Pep I have no doubt he will. He’s playing within himself at Arsenal because he doesn’t want to be here. I love De Bruyne... He has everything I love in the position he plays in.

I’m no City fan and I take absolutely no joy from seeing them being so fucking good but seriously, watching De Bruyne at times is a joy. I think he has the potential to be the best player in the world, I rate him that highly. Chelsea fans must feel sick to the stomach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 We do. But the two league titles in three years since he and Salah left, eases the pain. Would kill for either of them right now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
