Mole_Toonfan Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 City backed out because they didn't want to pay when Arsenal wanted because his contract is out in the summer. Plus there are reports Sanchez wants like 400k a week and a 15m signing bonus, no guarantee this is true of course. But if it is Sanchez isn't choosing anybody more that he's signing with the only team whose willing to give him what he wants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Why is it weird? He's joining a much better team than arsenal. Because Man City are a much better team than Man United. He'd start less games at city, I suspect he'll be wanting guaranteed 1st team status at this stage of his career. I'm not sure about any of that, he's good enough to be part of Man City's rotation of everyone bar De Bruyne. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Either way, he's out of contract in the summer. He makes some cash, plays for a better team for 6 months, and signs with Bayern in June. Why would he end up at Bayern in the summer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I'm just operating on the assumption that whoever signs him is merely assuming his Arsenal contract and getting him for 6-months. Hence the price being (relatively) low for a player of his quality: Manchester City had been regarded as the favourites to sign the 29-year-old forward this month, but senior figures at the Etihad told ESPN FC on Friday that the Premier League leaders would not pursue a move for the Chilean unless Arsenal substantially dropped their £35m asking price for a player with less than six months remaining on his contract. http://www.espn.com/soccer/soccer-transfers/story/3347821/alexis-sanchez-left-out-of-arsenal-squad-as-move-to-manchester-united-nears I.e. not a guarantee that he signs a new contract with whomever he leaves Arsenal for this window. I don't know why he wouldn't necessarily sign a new contract with either ManU or City, but as far as I'm aware, transfers aren't contingent upon players signing new contracts with their new clubs. Maybe I'm totally wrong about that and feel free to correct me if so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Our first two signings post takeover should be Willian and Mkhitaryan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Arsenal should try and get Mkhitaryan from Man U if they have any kind of sense really. Fully expect him to go elsewhere and go full Salah/De Bruyne. Mourinho is a joker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Chibas Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I think Guardiola will make a move for Salah, in the Summer. Adds to his plethora of attacking options, but it's a Guardiola thing to do ie. armed with an open cheque book, kill off any momentum being built by an emerging rival.

Maybe I'm totally wrong about that and feel free to correct me if so. This is not the NBA. Yanks being yanks. A transfer rescinds the existing contract with his current employer, the new club doesn't take up the old contract. Otherwise it's a loan. The reason they say the price is inflated for somebody with so little left in the contract, is because in 6 months his transfer value for Arsenal will be zero.

Altamullan Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Wrong, both will be fine. It's Mktheshitryan that will be sold. Mkhitaryan is a great player, needs to get away from Mourinho though. Could be our Robinho signing... not holding my breath. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
