Ive been thinking that there is an international break is (and has always been the plan) to help both clubs and the player "manage" this move at arms length.....to avoid at least some of the backlash that will inevitably come from both the media and fans. With Sanchez now away (or at least on his way to Chile) the clubs can do all the contractual work, meetings for working out payment details/finalising the agreement without the the hassle from the media. They can all do this in secret as Sanchez cant be present (and hence cant be followed/hounded by the media and fans.....there will be a couple of weeks before he has to play again which means he makes his return from international duty, and hers straight up to manchester to start his new move.....
or maybe I'm just clutching at straws?
