Alexis Sanchez

Twist and shout mate.

Tears of a Clown.

In the last few years we took a stand with Hazard’s agent and he went to Chelsea, he’s been a huge part of Chelsea twice winning the league. We were heavily linked with van Persie but pulled out and he ended up at United winning them the league.

Now we have Arsenal’s best player about to sign for united after we’ve chased him for the best part of a year but bailed at the cost. I think it will prove to be a huge mistake, Sanchez is desperate for success, hugely hungry and has an enormous work rate. He will paper over a lot of their weaknesses and I firmly believe will help them win trophies. He’s going for the best deal because it’s his last chance.

Sooner or later we’re going to realise that we’ve changed the game. There's been an incredible escalation in cost, wages and agents fees in part due to our impact in the transfer market. If we keep walking away from the top level players we’re going to struggle to stay at the top. Barca, Real, PSG and united all overpay at times but they tend to sign the players they want. Once there’s an auction we’re out.

Problem is there are limited number of players good enough to play for us. We paid what we needed to for Ederson and 3 full backs and got a huge improvement in performance in our team. If Walker or Ederson pulled the same stunt we would’ve walked and our team would’ve suffered.

Sanchez would have made a difference today and in many matches for the rest of the season. Instead united will get a hungry hard worker desperate to win.

Bet it’s a 5 year deal too.

It's the agent's fees that worry me tbh, those cuts across the road have Mendes running their transfer business and it wouldn't surprise me if he got a sweetener out of any Sanchez deal, I prefer Txiki.

I think they have realised they have to spend more than everyone else in order to stay relevant.

If they pay through the nose for everything, then only a few clubs can challenge them, & the gap between them & the samaller clubs becomes huge, which means easy points every week & champions league, which is how they did it in the 90s.

1/5 to join the rags now. Think the game is up.

Young world class striker - no way anything under 150. Things have changed after Neymar deal and they are not getting cheaper. This was a very good deal if we had negotiated a bit rather than making a stand.

24 yo Dybala for £150m on 250k a week who can serve the club for 9 years is better value than £50m for Sanchez and £400k a week for 3 years.

All that crap about wanting to play for pep,instead he has gone for the money to a team he will be just as frustrated at when he starts playing,muppet

 

[Don Karleone]

Okay is this definitely off now then?

Other than Sam Lee suggesting it is.

Let the rags have him, let him play the mourinho way, let him pick up his massive pay packet and let united struggle to offload him

Be interesting the length of contract on those wages and see how the rest of uniteds players respond to it
