Alexis Sanchez

I'm sure they will,and at this rate,we aren't going to be getting any shiny new toys,to add to the great ones we already have,bit of a shame wouldn't you agree ?

There must be a teeny weeny bit of you that is a bit disappointed we not going to get Sanchez...... ?

I started to consider it when Jesus got injured because Aguero is struggling and can't play every game, and I don't see anyone in the market. However, now Jesus is fit, I am happy we are not signing him. I rate Sanchez's technical ability. I think he will do a decent job in midfield for Utd, but I don't see him as a top forward any more.

Anyone who buys him is stuck with him for years, and he will become a footballing liability. Like Rooney was at Man Utd. He was class, but his legs have gone.

I am happy that Utd are spending so heavily on him. The only way they catch City is through the transfer market and they can outspend us. if they ear mark massive resources for this deal, it means that their ability to compete with us in the future for forward players is compromised.

"Fergie" and "oil" in the same post. Do you think this wouldn't be noticed raggy?

Ha ha very much a no

That's saved, to be brought out at the appropriate time.

Why the oil?

Because they've pumped all the gas out and are only left with oil

If Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang sign, I think Arsenal fans will be happy.

They will. They were already happy with just Lacazette.
A swapdeal between Sanchez and Mkhitaryan will suit both set of fans short term. And it will put the names of both clubs where they can state they can obviously challenge us in the transfer market. And if that is where the challenge comes from I’m fine with that.

Sanchez is a great player and I expect Pep to be able to improve him. I very much doubt if he does under Mourinho.

Could he get his tongue any further up their arse? Absolute clown of a manager.

Knew he hated us more than United.

Well, united and Arsenal were part of the clan that tried to stop us so this will be a victory of some sorts for the washed up old fart.

All my utd mates say we only have money because our owners own all the oil. I’m also told the oil is running out so we are going to be fooked soon.

Is this not true ?

If oil ran out tomorrow our owners wouldn't blink an eyelid.

BTW They don't and it isn't but what is happening is that our energy needs of the future need more diversification so a few more Texans are wearing different types of hats (LOL).

Utd have done really well out this. They have signed a proven 20+ goals a season player and swapped him basically for a player they have no use for. Yes there are the wages but it’s a monthly salary and the agent fee but who cares he’s a quality quality player

Come on think about it. United would have done well if they had managed to get Sanchez offering the same package as say ourselves for example. However they didnt, they have apparently doubled his wage, agreed to pay the £10m or £15m agent fee or whatever it is, thrown in a player to boot as well.

No, I think sanchez made some sense last Summer, and it made some sense as a cover for injuries. Long term it makes no sense for any football club looking to win the title which is why none of the top football clubs are in for him even though he is available on a free. Real madrid, barcelona, Bayern, Juve, City, chelsea. All the usual suspects are not interested. And those clowns go and make him one of the highest paid players in world football.
