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.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.
Load of bollocksThe 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.
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.
I'd have been happier if we won today, or at least taken a point. The problem at the moment is that there isn't a realistic forward target available.
But I think players like Kane or Hazard may become available sooner than we might think. I'm sure a couple of stars will make themselves known in the World Cup too. Players we know nothing about now. Buying on the strengths of World Cups is always dangerous, but City will have the football world at our feet for the short term at least and we can buy the best. Sanchez whilst good, was not at his best, and I objected to buying a player who I thought had his best years behind him,however for the moment I can not suggest an alternative. But I think we'll know it when we see it.
Not sure yet that Sanchez deal is over. There could be more twists.
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.

Yes. But I mention it because before you know it there could be players before us who we can consider.Buying a player because he had a good world cup is the worst thing you can do. Plenty of times teams have done that and they turn out to be crap.

Stands still? Seriously?
Are you shitting me?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.
