And a crumbling old ground that will need big bucks spent on it to stop its decay......perhaps financed by naming the stadium sponsorship.

How about The Durex stadium .....full of ****s.

Anyone else got any sponsorship ideas for it .....

From a footballing point of view then Sanchez clearly improves United considerably. There is little point in pretending otherwise. And they can clearly afford it financially, so the deal was a bit of a no-brainer for them. It feels similar to the van Persie signing though, in that it might get them short term success (although probably not this season, given the gap) but it doesn't really feel like they have a particularly coherent long term strategy. It'll be interesting to see which forward(s) we target in the summer.

We'll be able to better assess the pros and cons with hindsight when we see the type of quality forward that City look to bring in, but we don't have to wait, we can look at the recent past under Txiki as our guide. Sane, Jesus and Sterling. The equivalent in Sanchez terms is barcelona buying Sanchez when he moved from Udinese. He moves in very different circumstances now, and as you say it does not look like a particularly coherent long term strategy.

All this, he's not that good ,he'll be crap in 4 years is bullshit , they've pushed the boat out to get a player we wanted & needed.

You can't just dismiss how he is going to develop over 4 years. A football director has to consider present and future.

Last time I saw so many long balls, I was the resident doctor at Shady Acres nursing home...
 
Matt Law has just punished a more detailed article.


The 29 year-old will be paid £14m a year after tax - just under £27m a year before tax - to join United, on top of his £30m valuation, £20m signing-on fee, and an agents’ fee worth more than £10m. That all adds up to around £180m for a player who had entered the final six months of his Arsenal contract and goes some way to explaining why Manchester City walked away from negotiations.
​
I'm not someone who normally cares about money in football, but those numbers are staggering for Sanchez, and bear in mind they're also having to pay off Mkhitaryan to the tune of £20m as well!!

Good player though he is, it's nice to see proof Woodward & co are still mad as a box of frogs at boardroom level.
 
As long as we invest in the right talent either now or summer, I don't think we'll regret not signing Sanchez.
Fred and another CB definitely, and if we can find another Jesus type rough diamond in the summer for Pep to polish, we'll be fine

I get the impression he's handing us a back handed compliment here.
 
As long as the scum don't have Sane and G Jesus, I don't care. Sane cost us £37mil plus a bit extra. G Jesus was sort of free at 27mil:-)

Imagine if he got a bad injury in his first game and was out for a year... obviously I don’t want that to happen and wouldn’t laugh if it did god forbid
 
Sane and KdB will rip apart teams that come to play.

Sane and D Silva will shred to ribbons teams that park buses.
 
It is good from those press reports that - just perhaps - a few insightful journalists are starting to see the bigger picture here.

As happily the club did all along.

They obviously wanted Sanchez and all he had to do was put that ahead of lunatic money and earn the sort of money that players who are frankly miles better than him in today's side (like KDB) are getting having earned that with us.

And he is about to get a big pay rise based on performance on the field not reputation.

If Sanchez was confident in his own ability he should have bet himself to emulate that kind of form and earn a pay rise and winning bonuses etc.

He seems to want the money regardless. And whilst, yes, he will improve United and might even be a great asset - where is there to go from here other than down?

He is not going to earn a pay rise over that sum.

Sometimes players who have to earn rises by how they do on the field have that extra edge on a wet day in S****horpe than those who know they are being paid as much as they ever will because they have got up that morning.
 
My stance on him all along is we don't need him. So I'm not fussed.

They get a good player who has given his peak years to other clubs.

They're spending an extortionate amount of money to him which will not surprise me if it upsets the apple cart.

And he's clocked so many miles with full club seasons and international football in the summer that it wouldn't surprise me if he gets burnt out. He is 29 years old lets not forget. Far from finished of course but at that age you are no longer on the ascending curve.
 
That is an eye watering amount of money. No wonder his head was turned and no wonder we pulled out.
