Alexis Sanchez

[blue_sonic176]

Is it confirmed that he's off the the rags?

Amazing that we wouldn't pay the extra few million to secure a top player. Could come back to haunt us.

Hazard and RVP did, lets hope Sanchez doesn't.

Plenty of people will try to take the moral high-ground of not paying a lot but he would have made us much better so as fans, who cares about the money.

Lol. Aguero offers this team so little that we're playing with ten men whenever he starts.

Go to bed.

Are we not the top scorers? Have we not got a bigger spread of goals from more players in the squad? We scored 3 today with none by our striker.

These are facts people need to remember when saying we need a striker urgently.

We did not fail to win today because we did not have a striker. Our defence had a collective off ten minutes.

An extra striker is not the priority at the moment the way we play as a collective attack.

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.

I don't think he's fit. last couple of games for Arsenal he's been out on his feet by half time. I think he maybe better for Utd than he would have been for City as his passing is still a key asset and Utd give the ball away a lot when they try and build the play up from midfield. It depends a bit on how smart Mourinho is when it comes to using him. If he just plays his as a wide forward and thinks that he can play how he did 12 months ago it will go badly, but if he uses him as a midfielder then I think that might work and help them get more quality possession.

No more than we do but their infrastructure is crumbling. Short term thinking only lasts so long.

+1. Our fans (& the media) criticised the club when we did this shortly after the take over. We are looking to build - not go for short term EXPENSIVE fixes. The annoying thing for me is that the media will not direct the same criticism at the rags for this deal as they did when we did the same.

Go to bed.

He has a point to be fair

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.

Lol
Also some guy on twitter has a picture of the " U.S. Man Utd store " with a red united shirt with Alexis and the no. 7 on .

Only thing is - the picture is fake . I checked the official USA united store.It has no red shirt wth Alexis on it . Watch out for twitter liars

We win our first title - both Hazard and RVP want to come to us, we buy neither. Chelsea sign Hazard who wins them two titles, United sign RVP who wins them a title.

We're refusing to sign Alexis and in turn are strengthening our main rival with an attacker who is better than every single one of ours.

Relax Sean, it takes more than great icing to make a cake taste good.

Always wanted Sanchez, but not for the price of the teams future success.

Come May we'll have a cup or two and cash to buy REAL investment that will keep us fresh for the next 5 to 10 years, scary stuff!!
