Alexis Sanchez (Out)

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

Great fee, but I wonder if we can bring in a comparable player.

We just have to, failure to do so is not an option.

 

[blaise]

very good fee, hopefully we buy younger player with big upside and not Reus.

If he doesn't want to be here then sell him. If he wants to be here then give him a bumper new contract. We need a certified goal scorer if he leaves - 50m can buy one.

Can £50 million buy a certified goal scorer? Not sure about that. Scarcity of top level scorers has been apparent for a few seasons now.

 

[Garrincha]

Almost like we asked them to pay for Lacazette.

Would be pretty happy with 50m. Good profit & we got Alexis in his prime for 3 years.

well after this goes through we ll need one or two new players soon, big rumours shouldnt be enough to renew tickets this time

Depends on whether we want goals or quality? We could buy Defoe, Benteke or Sturridge. We could take a measured risk on a plyer like Icardi or Lacazette.

You wouldn't get another Sanchez though. Personally I'd want Reus or Morata. 2 quality players with a bit of a point to prove.

Happy to stay next year and open to a new deal as long as we strengthen in summer.

So gone then.

Feel a lot better about recruiting others this summer if Özil and Alexis are still here. Adding another attacker on the same level as them would be perfect.

Or two.

Lacazette
Lemar Özil Alexis

I love how they state he privately thinks we won't sell to a direct rival.

This is John Cross blaze, he knows what you're doing now.

John Cross special. Journalist equivalent of napalm, cover every possible base just to be sure.

You lot are mugs if you're happy with 50m. 50m in this market gets you Lacazette at the very best. A player with half the talent of Alexis.

Doubt we will end up getting close to 50m with just a year left & probably lucky to bag Lacazette.

As an example - City paid that for Sterling, 2 years ago. City also paid the same amount for Stones last summer.
I don't care that Sanchez only has 1 year left on his contract, £50M in todays market is ****ing peanuts for a player of Sanchez's standard!

Nobody's happy with that, mate; 50m looks decent considering his contract is running out and we're pretty bad at negotiating transfer fees.

 

[blaise]

I think it would be biggest fee ever for a 1 year left contract.
