Anyone coming here from the Italian league faces a big step up in pace, workrate, speed of thought & general manliness. Sanchez & Pastore can't be questioned on ability but they, like Balotelli & Kolarov, would have a lot of adapting to do.

I believe Sanchez and Pastore are better players than Balotelli because their clubs, Udinese and Palermo, gave them less pressure than Mario had in Milan!
From Torino, Italia to Manchester, Lancashire this City is always our City!

Very true, I'd fancy Pastore to adapt better than Sanchez though, just because the guy is a solid physical unit at 6ft 2". The risk with Sanchez always was his size for me, tbh Spain suits him down to the ground. Really expect him to be a Barca player by the end of the week, just makes sense.

Udinese - No Sanchez deal

Udinese have stated no deal has been brokered with Barcelona for Alexis Sanchez amid weekend reports the starlet would be flying in to finalise the transfer.

The 22-year-old forward is currently training with the Chilean national squad ahead of next month's Copa America, but was thought to be ready to leave the camp to rubber-stamp the transfer.

The Catalan giants have reportedly offered €28million (£24.6m) up front along with a €11m (£9.6m) bonus and promising youngster Jonathan Soriano in exchange.

However, Udinese president Giampaolo Pozzo insists Sanchez remains the club's player as Barcelona's offer remains well short of the club's asking price.

"Sanchez is still an Udinese player," he told Sky Sport 24 Italia. "I'm sorry about this 'saga'. We wanted to keep him for another year to help us with the UEFA Champions League qualifiers.

"But unfortunately we're not a big club in Europe, so when top clubs put their eyes on our player you cannot do anything. But the right offer has not yet arrived.

"Barcelona's offer is not yet the right price, and everyone knows it: both Barcelona and other big clubs. Between us and Barcelona we are still far away."

Meanwhile, Chile boss Claudio Borghi will allow Sanchez to travel to finalise his possible Barcelona switch as they do not want to be liable in the event of injury.

If he signs for Barca without travelling and is then injured in the tournament then Chile could be liable for a whopping £27.8million bill.

Chile are eager to avoid a potentially messy financial scenario by allowing the coveted talent to link up with Barca once the terms of the deal are agreed.

"It's a very complicated matter," Borghi told Chilevision. "If we don't allow him to travel, and the sale goes through, we would be accountable for $45million in the event of anything happening to him.

"It's very simple. As soon as the confirmation of his transfer comes through, he will have the authorisation (to travel).

"If (the transfer) happens in the middle of the Copa America, obviously not, but we have time and we know we cannot be responsible for that amount of money, so the ideal situation would be for him to travel and sign when the deal is confirmed."

Yes - a blog that says we're paying £60m for Iniesta and £350k per week is 'ace' for the latest transfer news.

is that a site that is great for fantasy transfer news or have they got any credible evidence they got things right?

Fuck me, thank you for bringing this infallible evidence of our new signing to my attention.. wow.. can't wait till he's here!! What a signing!!

Infact I just ran to the club shop, got Iniesta on the back of my shirt! I booked for a tattoo for tomorrow on the way home too, I'm getting a massive picture of Iniesta in a city shirt holding the champs league cup on my chest!

So excited!!!!

....Of course I'm taking the piss but so is the author of that blog for writing that shit so I call it fair game.

Jeffren's dad currently meeting with with Udinese officials. If they agree, will be Jeffren + cash for Alexis Sanchez.

I'd say this is pretty much done for Barca now. Marcotti knows his stuff.

Not really - it entirely depends who exactly on Twitter is saying it. If it's Marcotti then its one of the best sources :)
