Sorry to be the contrarian but all this laughing and talk of impending implosion at the rags because of this transfer is delusional.
It's the same shit that their fans did to us over the past decade, that the spending is unsustainable, wait until it goes tits up, etc, etc.
If Sanchez helps close the gap on us and helps them win trophies then no one will give a shit about the money.
They've unfortunately gazumped us, made us walk away and got an excellent player.
You win some, you lose some.
When we spent stupid money on players past their peak, it was because we were not even in europe & had 20 years catching up to do.
They are still the team who have broken the transfer records & pushed up the wage bills, to try & stay with us, ever since. Rooney being an example.
There is no excuse for this. It's a joke.
Is Micky Terry Ian still part of the deal? If so, they can agree what they want but it aint happening if Micky says no. Wouldn't it be magnificent if Arsenal string them along like they did us and he ends up going no where. He can rot at Arsenal for all I care now.

From a footballing point of view then Sanchez clearly improves United considerably. There is little point in pretending otherwise. And they can clearly afford it financially, so the deal was a bit of a no-brainer for them. It feels similar to the van Persie signing though, in that it might get them short term success (although probably not this season, given the gap) but it doesn't really feel like they have a particularly coherent long term strategy. It'll be interesting to see which forward(s) we target in the summer.
they have also spent 200m on 2 players,they are so far behind us footballing wise its embarrassing for them,would be good if the media had that conversation but they wont,i hate people who stitch up their mates which is what he has done to pep,after a no doubt good start i hope he turns to shiteThey have catching up to us to do. That's why they feel the need to spend so much for him.
Not going to criticise them for doing it.
I prefer our long term planning though.
