    For the record, al those who complained every time we sold a player with one year left on his deal, this is why you do it- because keeping them for the last season creates this kind of fuss and costs you a fortune. It was a desperate and idiotic idea that shows just how poor the decision making is in the club. As much as I blame Wenger, it isnt solely down to him.
    Interesting comments from some of the journos on that Sunday morning show. Effectively that Guardiola never really played Sanchez that much and didn't rate him at Barca. Given how much Pep values possession this doesn't surprise me.

    What surprised me is that Pep wants him at all. But assuming he does and Sanchez wants to go there, it will happen. If he goes elsewhere it's only because they offer him a bundle more than City will.

    I had originally thought that City didnt need him but I suppose when you are ****ing loaded and looking to win every trophy you dont limit yourself to what you actually need.

    I have a feeling he is one of those players who looks worse in a better side. I never saw him at Barcelona but I would imagine he still gave the ball away a lot.

    He did, at Barca I saw him any times and he looked a very talented player playing in a team whose style did not suit him.

    Hence my surprise at the interest from both parties

    Manchester United need him more, it would seem. At Least City are going to win the Premier League.

    Thing is, that's actually *******s. I thought that but then looked at the stats and he played nearly all the time under Pep

    Started or played? Would be surprising if these journos were that wrong, the stats were pretty damning.

    Well, they should be able to get simple stats correct.

    Mostly because they have other people get them for them, I think.

    Started, one season he didn't and that's because he was injured on and off all season. Might have taken their stats from that season which is a little bit unfair

    Yep, that sounds like most football journalists.
