Alexis Sanchez

[Dax777]

£60m for a player who was on a free transfer in 9months was never a good deal, no matter how hard you try and pitch it.

Sometimes our fans bend over backwatds to pretend they are viewing a good deal.

If the club feel that the transfer fees paid are appropriate for the needs of the team, then why are you so worried - genuine question ?

I am sure that there is a " ceiling " beyond which the club will not go above having assessed the qualities brought to the squad and the needs fulfilled by paying whatever they deem appropriate for the player. I seriously doubt that they could give a flying f*ck about the values that supporters on a forum place upon their acquisitions.

Nor do they your opinion on game day when you are disappointed the manager starts one guy over the other. Yet, I reckon you give your opinion anyway, yes?

I don't understand why folks always come at me with the "why do you care?" argument. Why shouldnt I care?

If the club buys a player some think is shitty, why do they care? Not like the club cares about their opinions on how good or shitty the player is. Why do we even discuss these transfers, not like the club gives a fuck about out opinion on it.

Lets just all pack it in then. Since nothing we care about changes what the club does. Its a silly retort

I care about what o choose to care about. And for what its worth, most do care, even the one who lie to themselves that they don't.
How do I know? You see it when one of our player does great and someone exclaims "imagine we paid just X for him, and Y paid XX for their bum"

Not to mention how many marvel at how other clubs overpaid for one player or the other. If any of these types of claims have come from you before.... Then you care. You just pretend not to when its your team.

I don't pretend. To myself or others. I care because I do. I like most fans have been programmed to. Even those who pretend otherwise.

Some people care more as what United and their fans think.
Personally I couldn`t give a fuck ... thats how I`ve been programmed.

Ornstein's thoughts on the Alexis situation for anyone interested.

He's wrong for 100% certain with regards PSG and I'd say he's wrong with regards Munich as well

He's worth £130m in this market so it was.

Hardly a worthwhile response imo , but I don't hold myself up to be an expert on anything and everything like some on here clearly do.

As I said, I doubt our owners give a fuck about whether their actions meet the approval of " experts " on BM , but carry on if it makes you feel good about yourself.

In today's market he would be worth £100m. £60m was reasonable, almost half his true value.

£100m when Coutinho was worth £140m?

 

[domalino]

£100m when Coutinho was worth £140m?

Yeah 4 years difference means coutinho is worth considerably more.

Anyone buying Sanchez will hope for 3/4 good years, Coutinho 7/8.

Young+potential will always cost more than old+expected results.

£100m when Coutinho was worth £140m?

Coutinho isn't worth anything like £140m, there's only one footballer that is and that's messi. PSG will disagree though.

He obviously is as Liverpool turned it down. That's how price works.

Yeah Ok there,BUT how was your match day experience?.

Was your pie hot?,your beer cold?,do you feel your body search was intrusive?

If there was no football on at the Etihad,would you still go for the "Experience"?.
