Maguire and other possible transfers

Neil Mcnab · January 07, 2018, 12:30:15

Rumours we are interested, but of course for treble what Leicester shelled out for him in the summer. He is a footballer and is a big unit. A bright spark on here said in August we should have considered him.

Pep can come up with cover in positions we had not even dreamed of, but if Dinho had a long term injury, the replacements we have now would leave us weaker. Seen Fred who played well against us, but not seen much besides. Always remember Nicky Summerbee having a blinder against us for Swindon, signed for us and not quite that player. Or we were also rumoured to be interested in Weigl, or what about Vidal to keep Sanchez happy.

Of course there is still Sanchez himself, or would he be the new Marsh?

Umtiti - 54mil Barcelona CB.

With Stones back, i think weâ€™ve proved weâ€™re ok with the current cover on that department.

I hope we go for Sanchez. We should strike whilst the iron is hot. This season probably gives us our best chance of title and CL wins. If we wait until the summer for Sanchez we may as well not bother but rather look for a younger player. However in our current position it makes great sense to move for him now.

mawson isnt bad from swansea, might get him cheap if they are preparing for championship and want to lower wage bill

No Sanchez today in team for Arsenal FA Cup match. How significant is that in terms of not being cup tied for City should he join. I think it is looking good for Sanchez to join us soon.

Arsenal out of the FA. @Alexis_Sanchez did not play so he will not be cup tied.
Alexis is close to sign with Manchester City, but Arsenal wants 35 million and not the 20 that the City offers.

He looked effective but also a dirty, fat bastard when playing against us in the cup. So mixed feelings on that one!

If he comes to City Pep will have him on a diet and playing football not cheating 😉

Not seen much of Maguire. Pep would improve him Iâ€™m sure but if heâ€™s already overweight in he PL then some questions have to be asked about his attitude.

On Sanchez, I think itâ€™s significant he was not playing in the FA cup last night. Heâ€™s not cup tied for a PL team.

an actual striker with working legs would be handy

doubt pep misses bony tho

Cheeky Burgerstain is reported as being in talks with Arsenal over the weekend. As for Maguire, not as much about him now, by the sounds of it his entourage are deciding what to do over a meal. WBA want Â£25 million for Evans, which cant be value in even a super heated market.

true, but I don't think "value" is too much of an issue any more, is it?

He was touted at 9 million in the summer, now 3 times as much. But like you say its change down the sofa for the owners. If Pep wants him, he will do. Just hope Pep has decided on someone else.

nimrod · January 09, 2018, 12:18:55

Much rather have Maguire than JFE
I like the way he brings out the ball, and decent passes

Paddy · January 09, 2018, 12:40:39

I was originally opposed to Sanchez but now let's go get him asap

Hesperus · January 11, 2018, 11:01:01

No real movement on Sanchez over the couple of days. He didn't start the league cup tie but Wenger said it was tactical and no bids have been made for him.

The longer it goes on the less likely it will happen imo. I also think that if we don't sign him in this window we won't sign him in the summer either.

Paddy · January 12, 2018, 00:45:20

I agree with Hesperus. I want him now but not long term, just to fill a gap

Neil Mcnab · January 13, 2018, 10:39:56

Mirror and MEN say we are interested in Fred for Â£45 million. If Pep likes him, he will fit the mould.

Swiss · January 14, 2018, 11:15:03

Nice to see city play hard ball over the transfer fee for Sanchez

Neil Mcnab · January 14, 2018, 18:12:53

After todays game, more than ever convinced a quality DM is needed to challenge Dinho. All the talk is about Sanchez moving in the next 24/48 hours and whether he is off to Trafford or to Manchester. If he comes to us we can quickly move on from today.
