Barella at Cagliari is a talent, we should be looking at someone like him as a second option. |

I didn’t say ‘no one decent would sign for us’ did I? In fact I said nothing of the sort. I asserted that the current crop of top players would rather play for Pep than for Jose. And, that given the choice, a top target would choose them over us. Based on that alone.
That says nothing of a second choice target or a variety of top players that our clubs are going head to head for. There is of course the chance a player would rather play for our club than theirs regardless of the managers, it’s just unlikely given the two currently employed and the styles of football they both play. I don’t think for one second city is a more attractive club than ours in any way. I’m only speaking about the situation we find ourselves in right now. This summer. |

Ok, I’ll get the crayons out...
This season’s hot footballing property has two options open to him. Club A and club B. He has zero preference for either club. Both pay the same. Both offer European football and a probable title challenge. One has a reputation for playing devastating possession-based attacking football. The other has a reputation for playing negative, boring football. Which one go you think he’ll pick? Now again, just to reiterate, I personally don’t think anyone in their right mind should go near that plastic human-rights abusing shitfest down the road, but I’m not a (for example) 23 year old Serbian kid with no sense of UK football history. Also, on the Sanchez point. He did have a pre-existing affection for United. |

There’s no player in the world who has zero preference between united and city. All other things being equal, they go for the prestige. City are nothing other than money, and offering more money is the only chance they have, or there being some personal relationship reason. |

Right now they have a manager whose players adore him and who has a reputation (rightly or wrongly) for developing the established players he has. Right now we have a manager whose players don't know where they stand with him and who has a reputation (rightly or wrongly) for irrational bullying and throwing his players under busses in public. Like it or not, for someone who has no existing affection for our club, one of those is far less appealing than the other. |

Look at Matic, desperate to play for United despite having watched the manager implode while at Chelsea. DeBruyne said he doesn't particularly have a relationship with managers outside of being told what to do. Money would be my main concern, followed by trophies, followed by how often I'd play, followed by who I'm playing with. Whatever gimp is in the hotseat wouldn't bother me either way, probably outlast the £#%&!er anyway. |
