Alexis Sanchez

There you go Alves 2.0 . Third time we lost the race against him.

Source of announcement?

People are giving up a bit prematurely imo...
I don't think this is over just yet

Seems to be the latest excuse, if not condescending and insulting to our existing players and their understanding of the circumstances.

Mate what do you not understand? That is not how you run a business. Khaldoon and Soriano know a bit more about the wage situation than you

It's odd Arsenal would be so happy for him to go to a far more direct rival than us.

Sam from Goal is spot on......if we have to go and spend 80-100mil on another forward in the summer, this makes no sense.

   If City are willing to let Sanchez join United due to the price of the total package (which would be about £40m in fees, plus wages which were agreed) then they must be thinking of their perception of value, rather than cost. They’ll do very well to find a cheaper alternative.

   And by value versus cost I mean this: they must have decided it’s not ‘worth’ paying £40m-odd to Arsenal and agent, but it is worth paying £100m at least for another player (insert your own names). That, or simply they’ve been caught on the hop and have absolutely no say in it.

I can see where he’s coming from. Smashing our wage structure by more than double nearly wouldn’t be good for team morale though.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Yeah, it’ll be interesting to see if we do go for anyone else this window.

One slight positive to come out of this is that United are unlikely to be in for another attacker in the summer, so we’ll hopefully avoid any bidding wars with them whoever we target.

Maybe we’ve decided the midfielder is more important at the moment, hence the gossip about Fred and Seri?

Hope we're not getting complacent again. We made the same mistakes in 2012 and 2014 missing out on the likes of Hazard, RVP and Alexis then to United/Chelsea/Arsenal and making cheap buys.

It's better to buy from a position of strength. It's what kept United at the top.

My thoughts exactly.

I wish this 'niceness' about the club would be eradicated and we pay what it takes to put as much distance between us and those rag bastards as possible.

Look on the bright side, folks. We can now go in balls deep for JFE....

Nah, balls deep for Martinez and fuck this silly JFE bollocks off.

 

[J_MCFC21]

Did Cross mention Mkhitaryan in any deal? wasn't he like 30m too?

 

[razman]

Alves 2.0 but like how that didn't affect us, hopefully this wouldn't either!

I don't think they care as long as they get some money mate.
