Alexis Sanchez

[ojeme]

It will but it wont be the signing that gets them playing anywhere near the football we are producing.

They really don't care about playing pretty. All they care for is how to get ahead of us on the table.

 

[TheBlueDune]

No it’s not.

Transfermarkt has raiola for all except Sanchez (and also mihktaryan). All the media has raiola for Sanchez. TM also says he's agent for Kluivert Jr and Mario for what it's worth. Unless you know different.

Haven't we been here before with utd signings,
The signed falcao, di maria and a few others and we was better than them.
They signed Pogba, big nose and a few others, Mourinho moved in and we was still head and shoulders above them.
This season they've signed supposedly the best striker in Europe, supposedly the best midfielder in Europe and a few others and still we are head and shoulders above them.
Stop all his talk about Sanchez going in there and suddenly turning them into Brazil.
Do you see the bigger picture?
No matter what they do, no matter who they sign and no matter how much they've spent they are way way behind us.

Agree it is a player we have wanted since his time at Udinese. But right now, he is entering effectively his last ever contract. He would have been coming into a team that has excelled this season and will only get better.....therfore he wasn’t a desperately needed signing, like something we needed when we had to get the players in to make the step up after the takeover.

He would have been a great addition to the team. However because of the gulf in class, both between our team and united’s, and the gulf in class of ability to get players to perform in Pep and mourinho....this has made mourinho make an ultimatum to the united board - back me and get the players in I need if you want to compete with City

We didnt desperately need sanchez, united on the other hand do

We have nothing to learn from his saga whatsoever

There's always something to learn.

You said

Same agent I believe for Sanchez, pogba, big nose, la cuckoo

Which means they all have the same agent. They don’t. That’s why I said they don’t.
Sanchez’s agent is Fernando Felicevich who has nothing to do with the other players you originally listed. So yeah - I know different.

Just seen this from the live feed manchester evening news .....someone tweeted maybe they should practice closing a 12pt gap instead of practicing schoolground handshakes

Cringe. Even if I was a rag I’m sure I’d be embarrassed by that little bellend Lingard

 

[trumpton]

On the upside, there's at least £4M going into National Insurance

Rather than the Cayman islands!

It's not clear to me that Guardiola was in for Sanchez. I know that that is contrary to prevailing opinion, but I don't think we followed up on this Summer's interest until the injury to Jesus, and then when we found out the terms required, the interest ended there and then.

If you look at the City team, there is no role for Sanchez other than as cover for Aguero/Jesus. He's too slow to play wide. He can play in midfield but we have specialised midfielders who can do that. Utd's team rebuilding is far behind City. They can probably make more use of Sanchez than City can, but I don't see it as a transformative signing.
I doubt sanchez will strike fear into the defence of City, Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool etc

Looking forward to the first question at the Sanchez press conference.....You wanted to play for a great footballing team in Manchester City and yet you have signed for PARK THE BUS United....why is this Alexis....can you please explain....haha!!!.

Agree marv....said the same a fair few pages back regarding our interest.

Response

“I have always loved buses, always”. Then he pulls out a little corgi red bus and starts playing with it on the table top. Parking it right in front of mourinho

Or as I said last night someone should be the first to go Mrs Merton and just say:

What first attracted you to the multi millionaire Man United offer, Alexis?
