Dont think City would have offered him anything like those wages.

I this this is a blessing in disguise for Man City.
Alexis is too much of a ball hog to play the way they're doing right now. Swift, seamless football with Sané and Sterling. Also not worth having him as a CF and getting rid of Aguero when the latter is the better striker.
They can now focus on getting the players they need instead.

GDM (who has got everything right and first to report UTD involvement) and alot of others had said the reason City pulled out is the transfer fee, the package offered to the player was very similar and not alot in it.

There has been plenty reports that City pulled out over wages and cant see them giving Sanchez that much more than KDB new contract.
Couldnt see city paying him anywhere near 500k a week.

Nothing wrong with what he said. We won't have any ambition while Kroenke owns the club. I don't even think he cares about champions league anymore, with that premier league TV money keeping his pockets full. We're Everton/Newcastle level until he gets bored of football and sells.

Agent fee too. His agent went back on his word and the deal they had agreed on.

Poor City, can't afford the wages.
Could easily afford his wages but dont think it makes sense for them to put him on far more money than likes of KDB.
Sense? They have unlimited budget. There is something repulsive watching Catalans trying to save a buck for someone who throws it from the window.

They are still trying to stay within FFP and are not wildly overspending.
What Guardiola said about it being negative for squad is correct. Likes of KDB would not appreciate being on so much less than a player he is better than.

Is that salary confirmed?
If it is then surely he is one of the most overpaid players in the world.
His agent pulled off a masterclass with this one.
He is on wage parity with Pogba at £300k. City didn't want to pay the asking price of the agent and Di Marzio will have got it wrong with City too he said £13m net it will have been gross at £250k a week. United will pay more image rights, which City will have done too but those are never included in a players wage. So yeah he probably is technically earning more than £400k but his actual wage isn't that high. Two journalists associated with Mourinho came out last night and said this.

lmao Arsenal taking a Manutd reject for Sanchez when they had the opportunity to sell him in the summer for what is reported to be in the 50-60 million range. He was shit too for this half a year. Arsenal taking L right, left and center.
Anyway, I wish nothing but failure for ManUtd with Sanchez.

Mkhitaryan is a bottler of the highest order (so will fit in at Arsenal tbf) you get dropped for Lingard you have problems. But in the situation they was in its decent business for them, they need positions at the back more than Aubamayeng but its still money being spent. And Arsenal did agree to sell him in the summer but they couldn't get Lemar in time as a replacement so they said no, either he rejected them or didn't offer enough it isn't clear.
Would you have wished him well at City?

I disliked Sanchez when he was with us..always falling over his feet, slipping and missing easy chances.
Now that hes moved to Utd I dislike him even more. I don't think hell be the savior everyone says he will be.
Utds problems start up top with their board and Mourinho.Even when Mourinho has good players he chains them up and guves them no opportunity to express themselves.
