That was an or more later, after he'd heard of it at half time.

Quite possibly. Still, he did point to it.

So did Mcmanamanamanamanamanaman allegedly.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Quite possibly. Still, he did point to it.

It was hardly a reaction to the point in question.

What happened Mkhytarian's contract at the rags? Just torn up with no severance paid?

The point about Mickey is that the rags paid £30 million for him only 18 months ago which means that most of his transfer fee hadn't been amortised when he left. Probably about £20 million or so of it which remains a charge on the rags' books and has to be taken into account. That's effectively part of the cost of Sanchez's 'free transfer' along with his £20 million signing on fee and his agent's £15 million bung.

This but try explaining this to a rag or the media. Their heads would explode as far too technical for them

Don’t know if this has already been done, but JJ’s assessment of City and United’s transfer windows in the Gruaniad has to be seen to be believed.

I sincerely hope he wrote it while pissed or high. Or for a bet.

Here it is in all its stupidity....

Manchester City (£61.2m)

Pep Guardiola’s January window ended with Alexis Sánchez having gone to Manchester United and the manager acquiring only one of the two players for positions he wanted, with Aymeric Laporte not his first-choice as a new centre-back. Southampton’s Virgil van Dijk was that man so Guardiola must be disappointed. So, too, on missing out on Sánchez, which was compounded by the late rush for Riyad Mahrez that was also unsuccessful because of Leicester’s £95m valuation of the Algerian. Jamie Jackson

Ins Aymeric Laporte Athletic Bilbao, £57.2m; Jack Harrison New York City FC, £4m

Outs Shay Facey Northampton, undisclosed; Eliaquim Mangala Everton loan; Marlos Moreno Flamengo loan; Chidi Nwakali Aberdeen, loan; Isaac Buckley Oxford, loan; Ashley Smith-Brown Oxford, loan; Kean Bryan Oldham, loan; Jack Harrison Middlesbrough, loan; Jacob Davenport Burton, loan

Manchester United (£0)

This may go down as the pivotal winter window of the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era because of José Mourinho’s capture of Alexis Sánchez, which elevated the side’s quality and was a morale-booster in a season in which City are resetting standards. The Chilean cost nothing from Arsenal as Henrikh Mkhitaryan went in the opposite direction, which adds to the sense this was a coup for United. JJ

Ins Alexis Sánchez Arsenal, swap; Matej Kovar FC Slovacko, undisclosed

Outs Henrikh Mkhitaryan Arsenal, swap; James Wilson Sheffield United, loan; Demi Mitchell Hearts, loan; Axel Tuanzebe Aston Villa, loan; Matty Willock St Johnstone, loan; Charlie Scott Hamilton Academical, loan

^^^hopefully that's the current equivalent of that fucking idiot who said we grabbed the headlines when signing Aguero, but the most important signing would prove to be Charlie Adams to Liverpool...!!!!!
