Laurie Barnett,Herbert Burgess,Jack Dyson hao ni magwiji wa Man City from the mid 1900s, the point is its never too early or too late to start supporting a football team ata wewe taja watu tano who played for your team AFC in the 70s

Mancity and Chelsea fans are usually younger. Arsenal fans are usually older

Starscream · January 31, 2018, 8:06am

I guess ni vile Wenger ni mzee so the older people relate more with him and his tactics, a vast majority if football coaches worldwide are quite young

system · January 31, 2018, 8:12am

Nope, depends on when you started supporting epl. Assuming you are 13 in 2018 and the hottest clubs are Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea then we have minor teams like Liverpool/Tottenham/Arsenal. Which would you support?

Now imagine the same in 2001 when we had Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool…

Starscream · January 31, 2018, 8:17am

Thats true young guys wanapata Man city na Chelsea zikingaara so they automatically support them, lakini the older fans wanakumbuka akina Arsenal na Liverpool in their glory days

Sabretooth:

Jesus. Yaani City already started receiving some reject fans and now they boasting coz of a good run? Relax guys. It ain’t like the EPL started in 2017-18. Teams like Leicester city also tasted some past glory & Chelsea seemed to have found the perfect mix of players yet they ain’t that perfect this season. Hell, Madrid has two CL back to back trophies and they be struggling a bit this season. And the fact that you guys seem to forget that Sanchez was almost in a blue shirt by now gives us the idea that you are more than clueless on what you are discussing here. Ati “We do not need a superstar and especially one with a bloated ego”. Like you were with Pep when he “refused” to sign Alexis. I despise “fans” who talk like they know all what is going behind the covers; like they own the club. Take some chill pill and enjoy your run as it lasts. All teams have their moments.

Do you need an extra shovel for all that salt mate?

By the time of acquiring Sanchez, the deal fell through because Sane was still fit and playing. Obviously now, that is not the case and he will be out for more than 6 weeks. But if you’re going to sit there and say you can’t understand the impetus behind why City’s desire to sign a winger has changed, then you’re just being disingenuous.

I can see why the coach may suddenly be panicking a bit about attacking depth given that we are challenging on all four fronts and close to favorite to win all of them. To quote Pep, “When you are trying to handle four competitions and such a lot of fixtures you either have to be lucky with injuries or have 22 top players to compete,” the City manager said.

I get that city spends a lot and that makes people angry but City needs another forward to complete in 4 competitions, 2 forwards cant play every single match.

Here is the cost of acquiring Sanchez

As for the math about costs, let’s see. According to many reports, here is Sanchez’s total of £180m deal:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/01/17/alexis-sanchez-agrees-four-year-manchester-united-contract-arsenal/
which, according to BBC, includes his £14m/yr salary after tax, sign on fees, what Arsenal gets and so forth:

With a little less investment, we have been able to acquire younger players whose value appreciates more and will at least service the club for longer. Either way, it is working out for us
