"Sanchez was available from Barcelona for €30 million for several weeks before the World Cup. The Chilean was happy to accept an annual salary of €4m (an increase on his Barca wages and less than what Carlos Tevez is earning) and had made it very clear that his preferred destination was Turin to join up with his national colleagues Arturo Vidal and Mauricio Isla."

http://www.goal.com/en/news/1717/ed...resign-given-juventus-abysmal-transfer-market

and if you read up the relevant threads leading up to the world cup, there were stories of how Juve made bids of as low as 8 mill, yet they will go full out on Iturbe?

And you are using an article stating as to how much the Juve transfer market has been a failure even thought they have yet to make a significant move. From a goal.com op-ed piece, no less.


And again, you did not answer my question. IF Sanchez really were available for 30 million prior to the world cup, why didn't Arsenal step up back then?

Why, because they WANTED to pay 12.5 million above asking price?


Really??

arsenal didn't even make a move on Sanchez till he was showing his worth at the world cup, I don't honestly think he was in their minds from the start in the same manner as it was in Juve's/Conte's. Impulse buy imo.

then again ask yourself why man utd paid over the odds for felleini last season and even more than his initial release clause a few days before they signed him

Ok, let's say that you're right abut Arsenal.

How is it that no other club came calling for Sanchez prior to this world cup? Why would Juve be theoretically be bidding against themselves?

Why would Barcelona be willing to take an 8 million euro loss on their investment on a 25 year old who just had his most successful season ever in professional football?

And who was tipped as the best player on the CHilean NT?

They were beyond desparate. Every other target they wanted refused to join them.

liverpool wanted him but he rejected them, psg have no need for a player like sanchez, neither does madrid, man utd as well since they are over stocked with attacking forwards

and because Barca were desperate to fund their big move for suarez, they probably miscalculated the success sanchez would have at the wc hence bumping his price up

We put in a starting bid of 8million ? :shocked:


That's madness, why not start at 5 just to test the water?

In fact I'm sure we did, that goal.com can't be trusted I think :boh:
