    Nah he’s mid table player, they will get rid of him soon enough

    fucking hell. He wanted 400k a week, plus frankly id have been happy if we’d paid to be rid of him


    Torreira is the one that bugs me, should have made our money back for him.
    we should have sold Ramsey a year earlier and got a transfer fee, instead we juat ran his contract down and he left for nothing

    Should have sold him many years before because he was shit


    But in reality the summer before was when Wenger left and Emery hadn’t made his mind up whether he wanted Ramsey or not


    A better example would have been the crock Wilshere who should have been sold. But MO makes the point that players we brought in were of little value. Just like there wasn’t a big demand for United’s players after Ferguson left.

    Sanchez was another one we should have sold given the silly money City offered us


    But also we got 20 million for Walcott, 18 million for Giroud and even 12 million for Coquelin in the winter window of 2018. Which actually wasn’t all that bad.

    Tchouameni is apparently still on the drawing board even when Rice crosses the line which would definitely spell the end for TP.

    We'd have not had a striker of any note if we had and anyway we did then do that excellent swap with Man U, giving them him for Mkhitaryan...

    True, I think I’m just highlighting that we eschewed the chance to get a lot of money for him

    Would have been interesting to see if things had worked out any differently for him at City than they did at United

    And we’d have only wasted the money on Kendrick Lamar

    well i was sort of joking about Mkhiki, apart from one very good goal am not sure he did much - thougth it was hilarious that Moan U spent so much on Sanchez only for it not to work out though...

    An not sure Sanchez was tameable by anyone, even Pep, but would have been interesting to see him try

    More referring to the whole we didn’t have another striker thing

    I didn’t mind mykhtarian (not even going to pretend I’ve spelt that correctly). I think we were right to get rid of him when we did, and I do wish we’d bought him earlier in his career. But had a few good games for us.

    At best he was an ok squad option

    Sanchez was a lazy individual and in the end seemed to show little regard for even the basic levels of personal fitness.

    Thats the South American curse in play, regularly taking down "could've been" greats like Baptista, Adriano, Real Ronaldo, Real Denilson, Robinho etc. ....usually always affecting their attacking players.

    Its strange though, their defensive players are able to keep being professional level heads who usually outdo their European counterparts by playing at a high level till almost 40!

    Football is 80% "in the head" when you think about it.
