Don't make it sound like it's West Ham here, it's City who spend the most cash so, I don't see how money can be a problem.
We didn't offer more money to Arsenal who had the call to make at this point, we just offered a sweetener to the deal and that's Mkhitaryan, City were going to pay between 25-35m to Arsenal and still pay him weekly (we aren't sure how much). Everything was pretty done until we came in with Mkhitaryan, Arsenal looked at the amount they were going to get for Sanchez and knew it couldn't afford a player the quality of Mkhitaryan and decided to do business with us, all we had to do was convince Sanchez that he had the perfect platform to excel at Old Trafford, he was guaranteed a starting place and the star of the team and he thought it was good for him and he accepted our offer. Case closed.
Now if you're on about inference, doesn't the above sound more plausible?

kokaneprodigy:
theyve been looking for a way out since failure is unavoidable. First they screamed “Pep has a younger squad”, we showed them that their manager loves them old with the signing of Zlatan and Sanchez the latter being the highest paid player in their squad.

Now they want to commit suicide cos Pep didn’t pick a youth to make up his bench cos Mou miraculously did.

After snatching Sanchez from him they went about wailing cos he was abt signing Mahrez.

They just want to have the monopoly of spending as that’s the only way they can dominate but it’s obvious it can no longer happen in this current dispensation hence the daily tears abt what happens in other clubs. They can no longer mind their business same way they cried the day Ozil renewed his contract.

Which begs the question. who really are the noisy neighbours?

Cocain addict, shebi your eyes are suddenly paining you? Your Internet services doesn't allow say the truth abi? I'm sure your eyes were plucked away when Aubameyang scored an illegitimate goal yesterday, yes?

Mctominay was nearly decapitated yesterday, the Huddersfield henchman got away with no card and United were denied a clear Pk. But you hid in your cave and pretended like none of these things happened. If it was United it favoured you'd have been here with your horde of ungrateful haters to scream "United PDP", the only English words you're fluent in typing.


*in Diggz's voice* Thunder wee faya yhu well well any day you come here to recite that your dumb nursery rhymes.

Which perfect platform? Is it the one that’s 13 points away from the 1st platform.?

randomperson:


so one question:

Why in spite of all the aforementioned "sweeteners", did man u offer Sanchez more money

patrickmuf:
Please can you tell us first hand how much Sanchez is paid weekly?

Eruditor:


This would have been true if Alexis and his agent did not revert to City to ask them to match what United offered.

That is how we knew the wages United offered.

randomperson:


why are you avoiding my question? are you disputing the fact that man utd offered him more

Roland17:
Why didn't Pep bring 6 subs when Liverpool hammered his side? He is lucky he got a result yesterday else the argument would be different today. He would be meeting the rest of the top 6 in the coming weeks, I dare Pep to show up with 6 subs in each game.

These are some of the issues other coaches have with Pep. It almost feels like an entitled arrogance of some sorts. He has been allowed to wear the yellow ribbon in support of Catalonia but if Mou wore that or any other coach, they would have heard it from the FA by now. No one is bigger than the league, the EPL is a very physical league and every team especially ball playing teams suffer the brunt. Ramsey, Reyes, RVP, Diaby to mention a few from my team have suffered horrific injuries from tackles during games. The same goes for other players from other teams.

Pep must be very careful not to get into a head on with the British media because they would ruin his stay in the EPL and force him out irrespective of result.

it's called inference.... if it wasn't about the money, why did man utd offer more than man city?

I don't even get why that's an issue... your club is a rich club so naturally would outbid other clubs...

wait, I think I get it now... u guys want to maintain an image of a low spender so that you'll have an excuse if man city is more successful

eph12:

Why did Pep choose to go to City instead of other clubs that were after him?

MoR2:
Liverpool to win

patrickmuf:
I am saying you have no proof,if you do, you should be able to tell us how much City offered him and how much we are paying him.

MoR2:
united can't lose that match worst case a draw but tomorrow liverpool will definitely win

randomperson:

then why did the agent go back to city to increase the wages after receiving man utd's offer

it really doesn't matter how much u pretend, u know man utd offered more. the only reason city didn't offer more is because they didn't want to disrupt their wage structure...

sinizia:
Roland17, while I totally agree with you that if Mourinho had wore the yellow ribbon showing support to a state's independence, he MAY have been banned instead of escaping a fine like Guardiola did, I disagree with you on the number of substitutes controversy.

Yesterday when I read about Gary's outburst concerning Pep's number of substitutes, what immediately came to my mind was, "what's he on about? Why is he making a mountain outta a molehill? Is it his business? How many times have Pep done such?"

I don't see why there's so much noise made about this matter. Just coz of ONE substitute he didn't bring along? If he had brought him along he still wouldn't play him. To my best of knowledge, clubs are allowed just 3 substitutes in a match; so, Pep had enough substitute to see out that match. Pep drawing that match was not because of that move by him. So, what's the fuss about? Am I missing something here? If Pep usually does this, then Gary is right, but if he doesn't, then Gary should calm down and sip some tea. You're a pundit you attach meanings to everything.

Roland17:


Baba, I agree with you that every coach should complain and become irritable when his player gets injured because of horrific tackles, but e neva reach to come dey send 6 players instead of 7 na for league game, not even Carabo or FA cup sef. I believe every coach should protect his players despite the physical nature of the league but how you protest is very important. Right now, the officials are on a hot spot whenever the officiate city games because of Pep's comments.

Furthermore, If you look at it strategically, Pep is undermining the efforts of the Man city academy through that protest. Infact, I would have preferred to see him bring 7 young unheralded players to the bench instead of questioning the rules we all play by.

patrickmuf:
Stories, quote reputable sources and figures here...You were sounding so sure, why are you boring me with stories when all you can do is tell me City offered let's say 250k and Manchester United offered 1m...

patrickmuf:
Let's see your sources...

Felicevich was keen to negotiate new terms with the Etihad outfit, as he expected them to try topping the Red Devils' offer. But he was promptly informed that there would be no further contact over Sanchez - not due to the money involved, but because he had gone back on his word.

Sorry this is pure bad belle and nothing else

vs Liverpool were 6 players inuured? Was Sane Stones, Silva injured? Did he have these players available and just decided to field 6 subs?

Kane tackle on Sterling - No red card
Alli tackle on KDB no red card
Puncheon tackle on KDB no red card
Phillips tackle on Diaz no red card
The tackle on Sane no red card
The tackle on KDB vs West Brom no red card

All these are red worthy If you doubt I can post the images

Manchester United has won more trophies than Arsenal in the last 5 years or "so".
Arsenal got 3 FA cups and 1 Shield, what else are you on about?

So much fallacy in one submission.

raumdeuter:


Ok

These are the pertinent questions

1. When did the first team travel on Friday to Burnley to get to Burnley settle down and train for the midday game on Saturday

2. When did the reserve team finish their game

3. How realistic was it to get a player after the youth game on Friday to join the senior traveling squad the same Friday? When the first team has probably travelled to Burnley before the youth game ended

4. To achieve what exactly?
