Zatman Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 24 minutes ago, sne said: Arda Turan back to Turkey and Istanbul Basaksehir. 2.5 season loan. What an utterly terrible signing for Barca he turned out to be. £35 m and a hefty salary spent on a guy who only started about 20 games for them. Coutinho to take that role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Lukaku has leaked that Sanchez to Utd is done, surprised by it, on one hand I didn't think city actually needed him but him going to Utd seems like it's an even more money move not sure what Arsenal do, throw money about (Malcolm or back in for Lemar) or wait for wenger to go in the summer, mess of a club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 It'll be down to the fact United will throw more money at Sanchez and pay his agents insane demands (£5m fee by all accounts) If Sanchez was more concerned about football he'd join Citeh.

VillaJ100 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 They've waited way too long to get rid of Wenger. The last straw should have been losing the prem to Leicester. Some FA Cup wins against shit opposition (Yes unfortunately us incuded) doesn't paper over the cracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its more about greed. Plus desperation on Man Utd's side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw something last week saying that apparently the club looked at fergie leaving Utd and didn't like it so they've kept him for 2/3 years longer than they should have done but restructured behind the scenes so that him leaving doesn't impact the club as badly as it could have done all that's wasted now because of how far they've slipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted January 14, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 14, 2018 How much of the Sanchez transfer is motivated by a “we just don’t want them lot to have him” thought process, as opposed to whether the transfer makes sense? I obviously rate Sánchez, but for whatever reason it doesn’t seem like a proper fit to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papillon Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I find it quite rich and hilarious that "Sanchez to Man Utd is all about the money" and now suddenly a move to City would be about the football and nothing else. Come on, City is all about the money and they are built on lottery money - they are only great because they could literally buy talent like Sanchez because of just money. I do agree City have a better team right now and play excellent football, but United are in fact second in the Premier League and only a few players away from being a great team. Especially funny to read all the tweets from Ballague, he is seriously hurt about the fact of Pep losing out on a target. Pathetic from a grown man trying to act as an objective journalist and expert, when in fact he is the complete opposite. Sanchez to United, if it happens, is not only about who is paying the most money - there are probably several other reasons. Perhaps City would have to increase the wages for several other players to be able to give him what he deserves (seeing him walking out of a contract with all the benefits that follows for said player). I would not be surprised if some of their players have that "top earner"-clause in their contracts, such as Silva, Aguero, even Toure, de Bruyne and forth. Say what you want about United, but they are getting a world-class player to make them more exciting again and they are using their own money - this would only benefit the league in the coming years. Seeing City winning 33+ games every season without competition would be boring. Aubameyang rumored to be going to Arsenal. Hmm.. strange move? They already have Lacazette and they surely wouldn't field both at the same time would they? Aubameyang is awesome, they should have gone for him in the summer instead of Lacazette, the same probably goes for Chelsea and United when it comes to output for their strikers.

villa4europe Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 he'll become the 4th highest player in the world according to some this morning, city want him but wont pay him more than some of their other players especially de bruyne (for some reason im under the impression city restructured their contracts meaning they arent massive weekly wage payers (:lol:) but have highly incentivised contracts) but its definitely not about money...

It means you are paying out good money to the players who are contributing to your team and not half as much to the Richards, N'Zogbia's, Gabby's etc. It a very sensible approach and I'm surprised most teams don't do it.

sne Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 So Walcott to Everton for £ 20 m. Might be worth the gamble, but it's a lot for a 28 y.o permanently injured one trick pony who can't shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it's probably the going rate for someone like Walcott and that's before you take on his 120K a week salary. The game's gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
