On the plus side you never had the VAR farce debating it or else you'd still be playing the first half now!
 
Warnock on that challenge

"They dished it out a bit, they had one or two naughty tackles.
"He (Guardiola) is in England, what do you expect?
"I suppose when you're like that, you want everything to be nice, pretty and perfect," said Warnock.
"But you don't get that here, you get different challenges."
A) It's a really bad tackle that no one should expect and should have been a red and B) As I'm pedantic he was technically in Wales at the time, would have though Warnock would know where his team plays
 
Warnock clearly not spotting a difference in leg breakers, and hard tackles anymore. :p

Hard Tackle - Ball, Man
Leg Breaker - Studs, Leg, Ball? What Ball?

On the plus side

In two and a half years, City have gone from

Hart-> Ederson
Zabaleta ->Walker
Demichelis -> Stones
Mangala -> Laporte
Kolarov -> Mendy
Toure -> De Bruyne
Fernandinho
Silva
Milner -> Sterling
Navas ->Sane
Agüero

With Sanes bad ligament injury, I bet Pep would of killed for Sanchez now.

Obviously we're all wiser after but that could be a big blow to your CL campaign... Won't go as far as to say it will impact the PL!
 
I doubt Pep really wanted Sanchez that much. You can mock him for excessive spending but he builds his squad for the longterm.
A 30 year old primaddona with obscene wage demands probably doesn't fit into his plans.

They wanted him in the summer, would of got him if arsenal found a replacement.
 
They were willing to pay him 30M up front as a sign on fee. Their line was as far down the road as ours.
 
If their 'line' for the total package had been he'd more than likely be at City now. Utd had to massively overpay to move ahead of them. Just is what it is and Tyton, I think, is just saying Pep and City wouldn't do that for someone who wouldn't be there for the long haul.
 
No doubt we offered more in the end (wages wise, I doubt bonus), but their initial offer was already so obscene, that there's no moral high ground for them not bettering United's offer as some have suggested.


I've actually seen some people say "fair play for City for pulling out".
 
For what it's worth, I actually think him being more of a main man at United, as opposed to being just one of many shining stars in Pep's attacking system (which he also could've seen himself rotated, ask Aguero) was also a factor for his ego. Not solely money.
 
We'll have to make do with De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Bernado and Jesus covering the left wing.... and possible Fred as well.
