Alexis Sanchez

Correct
I was there

So was Don Rogers.

C'mon Michael Tarian, for the love of football, for the premier league and for shits and giggles please please please do not advance to the emirates. Stay at utd and fight for your place with little big nose.
Stay stay stay stay stay.

Nah why would be, he's never handed in a transfer request so they'll have to pay up his contract in full, 3.5 years wages plus a bumper Arsenal contract plus his signing on fee and he gets away from Maureen.

United will pay him and his agent more in a few weeks than we are paying for Evans as a fee if stories are true.

I know loads of you hate that but it gets Mangala away from the pitch and I think Pep will get him playing well.

In a few weeks we will see who had the best deal and who has the most medals.

My hunch is it will be us.

Lay off Mangala mate, he's our fourth choice CB playing in a system that doesn't suit him but gives of his best and has put in some decent performances.
Stones, our first choice, has made mistakes in recent games so it is unfair to pick on the Mangler.

I'd love Utd to spend this kind of money on a 29 year old.

Given £500k pw they could buy a Neymar or an Mbappe. This would be serious damage to MUFC. You might rate Sanchez. I don't. But if you do rate him, think what he'll be like in 12 months time based on his current trajectory.

Perfect addition for the rags and will certainly improve them. He keeps himself fit works his bollocks off and scores goals when in the mood. He'll get them plenty of points although not enough to catch us. Next season could be interesting tho.

Totally agree about Sanchez the footballer and about next season. As for this - probably right and certainly borne out by the complacency in here, but momentum is a curious thing in sport. Let's hope it goes one way.

According to my quick calculation the wages cost to United is approx £30,000,000 per annum after taking into account employers NIC of over £3,600,000. On top of this Sanchez will not doubt expect his own NIC to be paid by United and that is probably around £530,000 pa so that also would need to be grossed up so add another million to the total!

I would have thought the signing on fee to an entirely separate matter so there is also the question of tax on that!

I think you’ll find that he is a contractor to the club. Therefore self employed, which would mean the rags pay no employers NI contributions. However I would assume, he would have made sure his personal contribution would be incorporated within his contract.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

I think the main problem with our bid for Sanchez is, Arsenal won't accept our £20m bid.
Utd have tried to use this as leverage for the player and Arsenal are up for this as they
get more like the money they want. It's all very much up in the air and the media are
guessing like never before. We have left him with our option and door still open.
Only Sanchez knows what the state of everything is.

You've started on the gin early i see:-)

I don't agree. 3-4 years ago, I think he's the type of player we'd have loved to have brought in. Now at 29, key parts of his game are going which affect his ability to score goals, and create them. You'll see him going deeper and deeper as time goes by.

 

[mosssideblue]

I cant believe this is still going on, and could still break down yet. Would be funny as fuck if he just stayed at Arsenal.

If the rag move breaks down and he comes back to us with our original deal, would you want him?

Bit of a loaded question as we don't know what Sanchez has said personally.

Wonder if the media are taking the NIC into account in the gross figures they are bandying about? Probably want to praise the Rags for propping up UK pensions.

Is anybody making up t shirts?

“I went to buy Alexis Sanchez and got JFE by mistake”

fookin lol

 

[Blue Hefner]

One main benefit of signing Sanchez is that he gets the summer off and should start next season very strongly

I have a feeling he will be in China or Turkey in 2 years

Ye it would take a monumental fuck up but we've to many quality players imo for it to happen but you never know in football like u say.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

With the figures being discussed I'd like to say 'get a lick on' ikkle micky, delay another week and it'll save the rags about £1M.

 

[mosssideblue]

Form an orderly queue for Alexis. There's one club in it. If Utd pull out then his value for Arsenal nose-dives and City could get a squad player for £20m assuming he takes a massive hit on his wages. If he's prepared to do that, then it might happen. I wouldn't even do that though because Jesus and Aguero are fit and Sanchez is too short term.

why do you only reference Jesus and Aguero?

 

[himalayan_blues]

Guellium blague says another big club apart from chelsea are trying to sign sanchez. Mikhtaryan agent riola is playing a hard ball going to arsenal, which is taking a big part in the deal for sanchez. Interesting twist in this story. The more greedy you get the more difficult it becomes.

 

[CityDreamer]

Red Cafe going nuts over this image

 

[Scottyboi]

Regardlesss of him going utd, I want to know how long football can sustain wages like that. Us as fans are having the piss taken out of us every week, they have the cheek to charge us the ticket prices they do and then put people on wages like that.

I bet De Bruynes agent is rubbing his hands at this Sanchez deal.

 

[goater555]

You really hope he stays because history shows the sides he leaves bounce back reasonably quickly perhaps Inter being the exception.

What I will say is he must spend a lot of time getting dirt on his employers because they never fail to give him what he wants.

Would Moyes , Louie or any other manager for that matter have been given the kind of money they have spent on players in fees and wages to come to Manure.

I doubt Fergie would have which no doubt is pissing him off.

The thing is, they will go for the next big name on the block with no forward planning, that's the way they operate now. Fucking miles behind in that department.
