Rick Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 If I were a City fan I'd ask "why?". Seriously, he's a great player ON HIS DAY, but I just don't think he's worth anything neat the figured being named. 290-300k A WEEK???!!! Really? Come on now. De Bruyne is the only player in the league that could argue a deal worth over 200k. I'd stay away if I were them. Let Utd pay him too much and still be shitter than you.

Danny Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 12 minutes ago, LFCMadLad said: He’s forever ostracising his players, falling out with them, singling players out, throwing them under a bus or totally losing the dressing which ends in them downing tools and him being sacked. Some players may love playing for him granted but there’s been many that can’t stand his guts and it’s usually the flair attacking players he falls out with. I mean, are you telling me that an attacking player would rather play under Mourinho than Pep? Nah, I’m not wearing that! This is absolutely for financial reasons and nothing more. I'm sure he'd love to play for Pep but Pep and City have made it clear they don't want him that much, United have shown otherwise. A player wants to be needed, Sanchez is a hard worker and would fit the Mourinho style quite well. Mourinho is one of the best managers in the world at one of the biggest clubs, if Sanchez really wanted the money he'd wait out his contract and take a mega sign on fee.

With only 6 months of his contract left I’m sure whoever he signed for, he’d be getting a mega signing on fee anyway. City already offered him a contract before Utd came into the fray by all accounts and I’m sure it wasn’t for peanuts. My guess is that Utd just offered him a lot more money. If it was about working under a better manager with a better chance of winning major trophies then he’d be signing for City. Nah, it’s all about the dollar. And if Mourinho is one of the best managers in the world... Why does he keep getting sacked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok mate, agree to disagree. If you think he’s going to Utd for the love of the club and the manager then fair do’s. Me, I think he’s been offered a much better financial package at Utd. *edit* Just read a few reports that City offered a contract that Sanchez was willing to sign, however, it was a contract on parity with City’s other top players but they weren’t willing to make him their highest earners ahead of KDB etc. Then Utd came in and offered Sanchez what he most wanted (£250k-£300k a week) and suddenly Sanchez had a change of heart! Still think it’s not about money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pep Talk Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Yeah Sanchez has been blown away by what united are offering and has said offer me more and the club said no I’m sure he will be a success at United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, Alexis has gone down a lot in my estimations over the past year or so. Never thought he was like this with all of this faffing around. I get anyone trying to get the best deal for themselves but this is just over the top and right now I only hope he ends up at United to mess up his career with Mourinho. He’ll waste him till his last ounce without caring to harness only what he’s good at. I agree mate, he's just passing his prime too and going to united will be the death of him, ive been indifferent about signing him from the start, rather us go all out for a young player like Mbappe ..united are offering a 35mill sign on fee though so at least he will have that to look forward too when he retires in a few years instead of more winners medals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFCMadLad Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 Put it this way ... If both Manchester clubs were offering the exact same contract, at this moment in time, who would Sanchez want to sign for? I think the answer is obvious.

Happy Blue Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 1 hour ago, Danny said: Actual professionals would love to play under him, you are making it out as if Mourinho is done for and managing Watford or Everton. Hes the manager of Manchester United and spends nearly as much as City do, they will be competitive next season. City can't get much better than they currently are whereas United now have something to strive for points-wise. He's spent the same as us but his team is nowhere near our level, he's just not a good manager anymore, he might as well be at a mid table club because that's the style of football he plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6666 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 These Aubameyang rumours really seem to be solidifying. Seems to be between him and Malcom to replace Sanchez but that of course depends on him leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fell out with Klopp, in fact he’s fell out with every manager since and he’s now in trouble for not attending a team meeting after training. That coupled with his age, high transfer fee and massive wages make him a signing you lot could really do without with how things are at the moment. A disruptive character is the last thing you need.

You can put it that way all you like it but isn't that way. Manchester United are showing they want him more by meeting his fee set by Arsenal. Man City have made it clear they don't want him as much as United do. United also have the ability to spend £100m+ like City do and also have a proven winner as a manager much like City do. If he signs for United he's signing for the club who are willing to go all out for him, if he wanted more money he would wait for his contract to expire and rinse the signing fee.

Toinho Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 So Sanchez is tossing up between winning a PL title for a club who don't seem to be overly pursuing him or playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world where he will be more of a key player? Tough choice to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning Gold Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I wonder if the World Cup is a consideration for Sanchez. Obviously he's pretty much guaranteed a place in the squad, but this is the big one for him as he'll be 33 next time so he'll want to do as well for his country as possible. 6 months of competing would be much better preparation for that than 6 months of half-arsing it at Arsenal.

Inverted Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I've no idea why people are now almost insisting that City go get him. Theres a huge difference between getting a player who's desperate to come and who has experience with the manager and enthusiasm for the move for a moderate price - and paying a substantially bigger package for a player who it turns out doesn't particularly care and just wants to start a bidding war. Particularly when in either case you don't really need him. Despite their massive resources City, they do have a bit of pride. For example, when a player turns them down, it looks like they never ever go back for them. If anything, they need to be like that so that people don't try to rip them off more than they already do.
