Alexis Sanchez

[Tom_mcfc]

Sanchez may have had two contractual offers but we still have to get our offer past Arsenal first. Arsenal had two offers, one for £20m and another for £27m plus a player in return.

Uniteds offer unfortunately blows ours out the water and if we aren't willing to budge then it is game over. In my mind the club clearly isn't all that bothered about this transfer.

The only thing we have bet on is Sanchez wanting to come here that bad that he is willing to wait, clearly that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

7 Mil isn't blowing us out the water, the contract difference seems to be but not from an Arsenal point of view. I also think even despite Arsenals weird transfer strategies that they'd prefer to sell to us. Utd are more their rivals than us and I think after RVP and the promises to not sell to Utd again they might have even taken that slight cut for him to come to us.

So why did Wegner say what he did yesterday? If our offer to Arsenal was unacceptable v United's it was NOT Sanchez's choice was it?

It wasn't his choice no but he always had the option to wait until the summer and by the sounds of it he had one option to get out in January and that currently is United.

You have to remember that United have offered a player exchange, who knows if Mikhatarian even wants to go to Arsenal? I reckon that will be the major sticking point at the moment.

Arsenal have just signed this Malcolm too but I think that is more to replace Ozil than Sanchez.

Sanchez come back to us cap in hand so we're deciding whether or not we want him?

This transfer has been as bizarre as the first time we went after him in Udinese. As other have suggested, what are the chances of us getting Martial from United if sanchez signs for them. I could see him really flourish under pep and he has a good eye for goal.

Don't fall for it blues it is a trap, he is gone let's move on and buy isco for the 1000th time hahaha.

I was upset at the prospect of losing out with Sanchez. However I understand our position regarding agents fees and player pay. This however isn't a one off should we look for a marquee signing in future will pay structure still be an issue. Do we miss out on top signings for team harmony.

Not really. If he’s getting £400k per month for the next four or five years at United then it works out better or him in the long term.

But they would still offer that in June was my theory?
