Just like no one should pay attention to him wanting to move to city for his special relationship with Pep or to us just for the money, which was the reason I brought it up in the first place a few pages back.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Start crying mate
'cnut'Same tears, different emotions lol
absolutely not. Bein are generally awful. Keys the same
Fairly sure he was adamant that Griezmann was coming in the summer.
Well yeah BeIN are awful, but I thought Keys was a reliable one.
We weren't in for him the second time and had just finished 7th. We weren't exactly a desirable option after Moyes... Plus he wanted to play in the CL right away but have a key role there as why we didn't have a chance.
For the first time, it was between United and Barcelona in summer 2011. Barca had just wrecked us in the Champions league final in what was probably the best side ever, United's squad was looking more in need of a rebuild pretty soon. He probably wasn't a die hard United supporter, but I do remember reading stuff about him liking United when he was younger. Doesn't mean he'd pick us over what was looking like the potential best side ever.
When it comes to hand hair oil, yes.
Still can't see this one happening. Would be an absolutely amazing signing if it did, though.
In fact, I stated in the summer that we should do whatever we could to try and sign Sanchez, and couldn't for the life of me understand why we apparently weren't in the mix for him. He's a much better signing than Griezmann.
Here's to hoping!

Griezmann was by all accounts, all but done, but then the announcement that Atletico Madrid would have their transfer ban upheld meant that Griezmann did a U-turn and decided not to leave them unable to replace him, and he'd just transfer the next season. Fair, it happens, but unfortunate for us as now Barca wants him when they weren't interested initially.
But, we're absolutely delighted to announce!!!... (backroom voice: Arsene, ffs, we talked about it a few minutes ago, just finish it)
I've tried not to get drawn into this transfer saga but it's becoming too much for me! We need to sign him whatever it takes! A player of his caliber and quality would normally cost 100 million in today's market so he is worth every penny we pay right now.
Let’s hope there are some trained councillors in these forums because when it’s announced he’s signed for City it’ll be like Jonestown in here.
Would much rather us go after Griezmann
Were we even in for him when he went to Arsenal? I don't remember any serious links though I could and probably am mistaken.
Wenger after the game:
Odd response.
I'll take anything remotely positive .. clutching the straws
That was pre-game.
He said that before the game.
Those quotes were before the game.
Just got in the house, what was the big announcement? I assume it wasnt Alexis!!?
what if he prefers to stay in Spain?
- Griezmann didn't move to OT last summer and by all accounts seems to love Spain. Barca could be in for him too
- there's no guarantee that Dybala would move to OT either, it'd probably be a difficult and very expensive transfer to pull off
- Bale is injury-prone and dealing with Real has been an pain in the behind for a long time
signing Sanchez if the opportunity is there is smart. Knows the league, low fee because of the contract situation, not cup-tied, can play multiple positions. It's a no-brainer.
Pointless he's going to Barca. Jose doesn't chase players who are gonna elsewhere.
It was nothing
Ok stand corrected. Not really keeping such close tabs on this transfer.
The announcement was that James Robson from MEN is an attention seeking tit
people where saying the same about Sanchez a few weeks ago.
Worth a try going after a world class player who we can build the team around form next 5+ years.

And Chamberlain scores. Poor old Arsenal fans, it's getting worse for them by the hour.
Yeah that all may be the case, but the bottom line is if I remember correctly, Keys was talking like it was a certainty and the deal would happen and it simply didn't. I can't really comment on his reliability as a whole, but him getting Griezmann wrong, but Pogba right springs to mind.
Still have the Carabao Cup.
Shit happens. We have all been there.
disagree on the no brainer, lower fee normally just equals higher wages and bigger contracts, and with a player who is 30 this year, quite reliant on pace whose rummored to be disruptive at times when we already have two young players fighting for the position he would play who will defintly have their game time stunted buy this signing. personally think their is quite a big risk involved
Moneyball
Is there any chance at all that it'll be announced officially today? Or even reports about him heading for a medical?
It’s impossible to say.
