Tbh, I want Dybala more, so if that can happen, Sanchez can go to City.
Sanchez is far more realistic than Dybala. I would love Dybala to join but it's not happening, especially with Coutinho's fee further inflating the market. Just ask yourself, if Countinho is worth 140m, how much is Dybala? Easily more, don't see us making that investment in one player when we have additional needs.

Sherwood is unbelievably bitter about us/Mourinho, no surprise he’s spouting shite.
He's really unbearable to listen to even regardless of his apparent hatred for us - his elocution, grammar and general diction is just brutally offensive to one's ears. Sky should really implement some language standards to the twats they are inviting their audience to listen to if they expect to have a proper discussion show worthy of the effort.

On Sanchez, there is nothing new on this - we all know he's going to City and today's nonsense is just that.

I do. The team that just signed Coutinho don’t have more money than us, and will also go after Griezmann in the summer. This is the price of the very top players, and we will pay it if we need to. We just broke the world record 18 months ago, if other teams can spend 100-plus, why not us?

Just like Pogba wanted to join Real..
His last big move will be about money and star quality.. He would become our nr7 and would play every game.. Not saying he is coming but us trying would at least be enough to have him think hard about it..

I dont belive this rumour for one second.Would UTD be interested of course however, I believe this is his agent using UTD to get City to hurry up and sort a deal out with Arsenal.

We all know that the expected is for him to join City, so I don't think it will come with any disappointment to anyone if it happens. At least we will have no regrets about not trying to go for him.

This United interest in Sanchez must have come out of Arsenal. Trying to squeeze a little bit more money out of City before they let him sign for them. Still don't believe he wants any other club other than City.

I think if it’s possible we have to do everything in our power to get him - Mykhi is a fantastic bargaining chip as Arsenal won’t want to fall behind anymore and they will desperately need players. I expect Lacazette will jump ship soon as well - can’t afford to let City be signing these type of players!

Just so they can print stories later about him 'snubbing' us


Media is shite

Point is, if everyone believe that Arsenal are using United to get more money from City, surely City also realize this and won't boost their offer ? This trick has become tiresome and predicted at the moment I can't think any club will fall for it.

Thing is no-one knows that for sure, neither would City, so they risk the chance of losing out on a transfer target.

Funny how he only says this after Di Marzio broke the Sanchez story earlier today.

If Luckhurst knew this why did he sit on it for so long?
TBF to him, most the outlets seemed to have been briefed around the same time.

If they are so sure of the player wanting them and already agreed personal terms with him, they should have nothing to be afraid of. Player can refuse the move to any club and run his contract till end of the season if there's actually any offer.

I've been reading a lot of his twitter posts and online pieces recently, they all run in a very similar predictable pattern. He's quick to have a pop at other journalists and media outlets when they're wrong but it would seem that's where the M.E.N. get most their stories from.

Yea, but that's assuming they've agreed terms with Sanchez.

Already been posted but yes that's how everyone feels so he's not making any groundbreaking revelations.
Everyone feeling is different from Jouralist who is well connected with Arsenal saying.

If it's someone from Sanchez's camp (or Arsenal's) using us to get a better deal for themselves, I hope we put out a strong public denial of the story soon.
Why so? It doesn't hurt us if City have to pay a bit more.

More realistic target will always be the player who is willing to come.

Well According to the papers, we get “snubbed” every week. Even by players we havent even been in for :lol:

But yeah, Aguero would never make the switch. Hazard would even be more likely, I think.
how's the laughing going?

No chance Arsenal are fabricating this, when it could all be over with one statement from us.

We would also almost certainly release a statement on this occasion I think, as they have gone to the length to discredit one of our own players saying we have offered him in exchange. It’s almost been taken as fact that we’ve offered one of our own in exchange for Sanchez, which makes it different for me. It’s not a vote of confidence for our player to not dispel that.

I think we are interested, hence why we haven't shut these rumours down. But, the fact that none of the usual "ITK" journos that are briefed by the club have mentioned it suggests that United are trying to make moves without it being public knowledge. However, Di Marzio found out through his own sources and spilt the beans.

When we broke the record 18 months ago, it was a different market. 89 million sounds like very little when you compare the outlay necessary for Dybala. Juve don't even need to sell since he's their best player and under contract until 2022. I'd love to be proven wrong and see the club bring him in but I just can't see us paying 140m plus for any player.
