Welcome Alexis Sanchez

He is a very very good player, proven in the league, works hard, has plenty of skill and scores goals. I am glad we went in this direction and not a PSG reserve

Watching the video of him on the pitch reminded me of when Cantona arrived, also mid season, he too stuck his chest out and looked like he knew this was his moment. Let's see the impact but players like Rashford and Martial must learn from him. It will make the Champions League and FA cup interesting and hope we can make City sweat a little bit at least in the league

I talked about ambition previously and this in itself is good, not enough to bring the title however, it is a very positive statement. Whilst some will try and cloud the players decision saying it was about money, do not underestimate the pull of the club, the shirt and the manager. If we show the same ambition in summer, next season could be very interesting.

The owners have still to show the ambition needed to put us back at the top, this is a step, a big step, but don’t kid yourself it is the last step. More like we should expect from a club trying for the top and now I expect a new contract for the manager.

It's finally done!

What an amazing piece of business.

Not just because he's a fantastic player but for the statement it sends to the rest of England and Europe.

We will not go away without a fight, they will not cast us into the shadows, this City remains Red and is a timely reminder to Pep and their new money that one good season cannot undo our rich traditions, proud history and we can also flex our financial might when needed!

I think this was a major mistake by City! They may feel being 12 points clear at the top and with an array of attacking talent in their squad that he wasn't worth the fight but they have missed the bigger picture. We needed him more! He'll improve us more, we now become a different animal. To get a player of Sanchez's quality in the summer would have cost upwards of £100m in transfer fee alone and we'd still have to pay similar wages on top! Not only that but who's available? Possibly Greizman but he looks set for Barca. Maybe Bale but that transfer has always looked complicated, he's not much younger than Sanchez and has a questionable injury record. Ronaldo is just a pipe dream and let's be honest his best days are now possibly behind him and any potential financial package to bring any of those players to Old Trafford would be eye watering! The same can be said of City.

An added bonus of this transfer is that he is eligible for the Champions League. If we get Bailly fit and Sanchez hits the ground running then surely we become dark horses. Anything can happen in a cup competition and in Sanchez we now have a player not only with proven quality but a player that is prepared to work hard and track back when needed. He should be a perfect Jose player!

Under Jose we have re signed Pobga, pickpocket Chelsea for Lukaku, stolen Matic and now seduced Sanchez! His ambition has forced the board to dig deep and in fairness they have backed their man and delivered. I questioned their ambition and I'm glad to say that I'll be eating some humble pie.

Our squad is slowly evolving and falling into place. Now it's time to deliver!

Added to the fact they got Jose in the first place .
