Do you think City can't afford Sanchez from a fee and/or wage perspective? I'd hazard a guess that City could easily afford and happily spend £60m and £300k wages on him, and if that was on the table from a non-EPL club (a good few clubs could afford this - PSG definitely, Bayern, Juve and/or Milan another couple potentially, maybe slightly lower wages but more than he's on currently) we would take it IMO.

Think it's obvious that Wenger's made his mind up (for now...) and that's the sticking point.

probably. but i do think for once wenger has put his foot down. wouldnt be too shocked if the board was tempted by the money though, but it probably wont happen.

Any reason why Barca aren't in for Sanchez? Assume Arsenal would sell to them for £50-60m in a heartbeat. Obviously he's played there before but surely is a very good shot term Neymar replacement.

Only issue is that Barca may need to replace all 3 forwards around 2020-2021.

Alexis did not get on well with Messi if I am remembering correctly.

Seems like the Bonucci and Biglia bank guarantees went through over the weekend.

Both named in the squad for Milan's EL qualifier

My wife, who has no interest in football whatsoever, just told me that Coutinho is going to Barcelona.

"Are you going to have a tantrum about it like you did when your boyfriend Torres left?"
"F*** off."

Too late for divorce or... ??

 

[jod23]

Cooldude beat me to it...

As for Coutinho. Pretty sure it's as you were. Cout would obvs welcome the move but he has a 5 year deal with us and is happy here and feels like he owes the club.

IMO def not moving this summer.

so van djik refuses to play, gets fined, is appealing the 2 weeks wages fine and only now submits a transfer request days before the season starts?

Oooh really!?

That's right. Alexis played in Messi's position while he was injured and tore it up. By the end of the season he had a better goals per ratio and people were saying Messi should play deeper or wide like what Pep was trying to make him do and it pissed off Messi so he had to leave.

Surely VVD is off to City or Liverpool. We dont need to be spending £60m on another CB.

More Sead's than Gary's in the Premier League now......

Not a fan of this part of the game, we've been on the receiving end a few times ourselves, but unfortunately it's become almost essential to be an absolute prat in these circumstances. Would Southampton agree to sell him if he didn't force their hand and pull this crap? Would we have sold Sterling?

I'm sure club's probably prefer this on some level too, allows them to paint the player as the villain, and helps placate the fans if/when they do agree to sell.

Lol you're a tough one to crack.
Saints are begging LFC to offer something for vvd, I just hope we show some compassion and help them out with this.

Maybe shouldn't have signed such a big deal with soton then.

 

[typeclub]

Disgusting the way Pool are acting in this. No class. If they were a big club they'd just bid what he costs. These FSG guys are an embarrassment to them. They also had Keita injuring team mates because they didn't want to pay.

Yep, pisses me off when players happily sign huge deals without any buyouts, then have a breakout season and think they are too good for their team and want to move on. Think he will leave but hope Southampton push it to deadline day and get the best possible deal for themselves, don't let the player dictate terms when he is contracted to you for another 5 years.
