We're not gonna sign him, are we? Why get everyone's hopes up and then refuse to pay

what he's worth? He's practically a goal a game striker in a top league. They only do it to annoy me.

98 goals in 143 isn't practicallly a goal a game. It isn't a top league. You don't know what Dortmund are demanding. He's a bit of a **** anyway. I would be delighted if we signed him though

Media reports suggest the issue is partly related to Giroud and then conflicting reports on this also – him not willing to go there which we can do fúck all about, or us not wanting to include him in the deal.

I expect like any normal bloke you will be monitoring the Bundesliga line-ups around 13:30-13:45 tomorrow. If he plays then I think you can assume talks are not going great at which point we can all point the finger at Team Ivan.

If they were demanding Giroud then we are quite right to walk away though - I don't have a problem with that. Millions of ****s on Twitter will though - they should be shot

Indeed. Its just the football side of things we keep ****ing up on. The business is going very well indeed.

I dont have a problem with Giroud going if its a swap for this chap. I just dont think signing this guy is going to solve anything so I dont really care whether we sign him or not.

To be fair, Dortmund are trying to pull our pants down. 58m for a 29 year old???!

I'm glad we're telling them that it's 50m or we walk away.

They'll accept 50m on deadline day and we'll then change the offer to 45m.

How old in Sanchez? And what price would he have been if we hadn't ****ed up the contract situation.

PEA is 28

I have no idea what is going on as I had thought our willingness to let OG go there was a key factor in our favour.

FTR I couldn’t care less if he leaves us in this case. Change can be a good thing and the past 6 months have seen us moving out some players I see as being dispensable (as long as they are replaced where needed).
