Alexis Sanchez

Okay is this definitely off now then?

Other than Sam Lee suggesting it is.

The tide has been going out all day on this. Seems more and more likely so.

Still no word from City though.

Maybe they won't bother tonight. As any medical will be the morning so they have time.

Hazard, RVP, Isco. Players who we've refused to sign out of principle and have gone on to win trophies. This is why this club stands still - we don't do what's necessary to sign world class players.

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

It’s the second time the little shit has let us down. Maybe it was justified when he upped sticks to Barca but not this time. Fuck him. I hope he enjoys the defensive coaching he’ll be doing day in day out.

The rags are second in the league; still in FA Cup & CL. They will be a force next year. He WONT be frustrated- he’ll help them push on. They’ll win another trophy this season - just hope it’s not the league or CL. Sanchez has not JUST gone for the money.

Did he have a choice? Not sure we actually got as far as bidding for him

The financial package being talked about is taking it all to a new level. There would be little resale value, they would be paying crazy wages, and the likes of Pogba would then be looking for pay parity. But they will argue that they`ll sell X million shirts. And what would their benefits be? They will get top 4 without him, but he won`t win them the league this season. They are not CL contenders. I can see plenty of the Sanchez posturing with his hands on his hips as his team mates don`t serve him up that pass on a plate.

I have every confidence in our stance on this saga.

I don't have a problem with our stance, I'm just trying to explain why this transfer isn't madness from United's perspective. We have our foot on United's throat at the moment and they have a very negative outlook on their future prospects of catching us. This transfer gives them a glimmer of hope that they can compete, this will help morale and give them a much needed boost. So desperation I agree with, but madness it isn't. They have to do this or admit they're second best for the foreseeable.

I've been watching sanchez a lot closer this season.

He loses possession often and is always trying little flicks over the top of the defence. He doesn't get into the box as often as he used to do. He still is a grafter and would offer options, but I expect would want to start every game. I just don't think he is at that level any more were that would be the case.

Personally I'm still not convinced that Sterling is top notch< I know he has scored lots of important goals but I think when he really needs to come to the party like today he lacks real belief and bottle in himself. I hope Bernado still comes good but he hasn't looked as dynamic as I expected.

It.s unbelievable how good we have been this season when we have had Mangala CD and Delph at LB. Aguero hasn't been at his best either.

Sanchez would add to our squad if he is really happy it is a squad game.

At the Rags I believe he replaces one of Martial or Wonder kid which I think would slow their attacks down and stunt there development.

In summary not disappointed either way as I think he only slightly improves either team.

Load of bollocks

Mirror Online's got a belter. Probably been mentioned but "Alexis always dreamed of playing for Man U when he was a boy" is the story. Just burst into laughter and the missus gave me one of those " you're an oddball" looks.
