I expect it will happen today.
Can we stop the shock and horror over the money? You can't knock the deal on financial grounds when you are MCFC. And if Man Utd win trophies, they at the moment will make even more money than we will. In the Summer we were prepared to pay a lot more for Mbappe but PSG beat us to that deal. The problem with this deal is that it does not make footballing sense. He is past his best.
Not English. Sort of.
The end came in similar fashion to our interest in the Monaco to PSG young player Mbeppe ( is as close as I can remember his name).
As long as our decision makers keep value in mind we will continue to prosper and we will retain the team culture at player level.
Chelsea in for dzeko now
Something very odd about this delay. Part of me hopes it's a big wind up on Sanchez's part to piss off Whinger as payback for not letting him go in the summer.Would be funny if we signed him after all this
I though he would be ideal as back up for Sane, and the promise of development to get into the England squad might be enough to persuade him.. then I found out he'd written to FIFA and switched to Ivory Coast in 2017?!! Because he's played for England youth, does anyone know if that still counts as homegrown? Or does the Ivory Coast thing count him now as an international??Zaha
Zaha would be a great shout, pep would mould him in to a great forward
Dzeko's turning 32 in 2 months! still a great player in the Italian league but don't think he will do a Drogba here. I still think Chelsea is looking for a striker and us mentioning that they are interested in Sanchez may be more informed than many thinks. They don't really have any issues with buying players and wages either.
Roberts ?? Sorry but he will not cut it at City.
Zaha chooses to play his football in our league thus has direct and relevant experience, Roberts chooses to not..... To be honest I wouldn't be chasing Zaha, but anyone who thinks Roberts will make it at City is fooling themselves.Younger and there is nothing I have seen Zaha do that Roberts couldn't, albeit in a lower level league. I just think considering our stance on money with Sanchez the numbers that were quoted in the past for Zaha would be stupid. Probably the most frustrating player in the league to watch. Our strikers and attackers will be pulling their hair out with how many times he goes to cross then doesn't. Our attacks are built on quick play wide and then quick in the box to the striker. Zaha wouldn't offer that, might do further down the line if he is coached right. He isn't an improvement and as we have seen ourselves and with other teams if you don't improve in a position of strength then you are going backwards.
The whole thing is a joke. I've said all along that I reckon Moureen's jumped into this transfer as a way of trying to upset our season & get into Pep's head.I would not be surprised if Sanchez is still with Arse in Feb

Would be a double whammy as those fuckers are selling shirts at the club shop ....if only ...
I hate to agree with you, but I have to. Roberts looks a world beater at academy level & playing for the best team in a poor, one team league, but showed a weakness of character & a willingness to test himself at the highest level.Zaha chooses to play his football in our league thus has direct and relevant experience, Roberts chooses to not.....

Ibra looks a dumb deal now. They were re-building and they go and buy a player who had zero football left in him, and then Mourinho squeals to the press that you can not compare my team with Guardiola's because they are further advanced in their rebuilding!They think Sanchez has more to offer them than Miki and Zlaten.
They might be right.
Who knows what the wage situation actually is but you would expect the wages those players are on will be close to what they are paying Sanhez.
If they want to pay the reported figures for Sanchez they are welcome to do so.
Clearly the Armenian is not a player Mou wants and he has a history of releasing players some of them turning out ok to other clubs.
Only started about five games for Celtic this season so even Rogers has his doubts in a poor league. Sinclair plays much more regularI hate to agree with you, but I have to. Roberts looks a world beater at academy level & playing for the best team in a poor, one team league, but showed a weakness of character & a willingness to test himself at the highest level.
He's happy with the glory north of the border, but won't risk losing that by having to play in a league where he'll have to graft & be close to his best in every single match he plays.
Roberts isn't a patch on Sane or Sterling, but they are trying to prove themselves at the highest level & are full internationals. How far away is Roberts from that level in reality, & more importantly, can anyone see him getting there any time soon?
