This is a new one. Sky scuppered the deal for a few days just so they can have his debut on telly

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

At least we know who the City lovers are now.The amount of scouse loving bastards
Fecking everywhere.
I will get the the game on TV in Iceland
,They've been sound. I don't get it, Jose won trophies last year.
And if anyone is known for throwing money at players, it's City.
What would you do if Sanchez signed and then held up United shorts for his pictures? All the while wearing just shorts and no shirt?
Well it would seem more like an Ed Woodward idea, frankly. The guy can get hard over a noodle sponsorship so I wouldn’t rule this out!
I can only speculate, but I suspect he was totally keen to join City, but they oddly decided now is the time to start pinching pennies and weren't willing to make a deal, while we were.
There are plenty of factors to benefit both sides, but I suspect the driving one is we were willing to offer what was needed to Arsenal to make a deal happen, and City just weren't.
Pull my pants down and have at it.
I think the press massively overplayed his relationship with Guardiola.
As I recall (I could be wrong so am happy to be corrected), they had one season together at Barcelona and towards the end of that season, Sanchez was out of the side. Guardiola didn't really appreciate the way when Sanchez got the ball he'd get his head down and run at defenders. Not very tiki-taka.
I think the fact that if he does join us he instantly improves us and becomes one of the main men would have played a part. At city he wouldn't be guaranteed to start every game and he'd be just another great player in a team running away with the league.
He has the opportunity to come to United and make a real difference.
The shed load of money probably helps, too.

I think it's nothing more than player-player swaps take more time. Both clubs would rather the deal actually work than meet a matchday deadline.
Remember what wenger said, it's likely to happen, but people have to realise these deals can fall a part very quickly.
Anyone joined the forums with a Sanchez name yet?
Please don't mention the guy who lives in the foreign league threads, posting every single update.

Sun telling people about morals, what next trump telling us about respecting women.
Pull Rocket Redglare’s pants down and have at it.
Fingers crossed it happens then!High Noon!
I love the media narrative of this transfer to be honest. It feels like us vs the world again and I've missed that.
Plus, we have a manager who will be absolutely lapping it up. Can you imagine Moyes faced with this barrage?
"David, the media are saying Sanchez wanted City, and he's only coming to us because we're paying him 2 million pounds a month."

2 Hours to go.
On a serious note - i've got confidence in this because Arsene too needs to placate the Arsenal supporters with the signing of Mkyi .
Makes me laugh how people get irate at this sort of thing whilst linking it to thousands and giving them the exposure they crave from such sensationalist articles.
maybe they'll register him first, announce him later in the day/evening?
Morals. Principles. Trophies.
We're getting a special player.
You could just as well see it more neutral:
If you had:
- A guaranteed starting place every weekend
- A better wage
- A club with more history / reputation
- Playing in front of 75000+ every week vs a half empty stadium
- A manager who is just as much of a winner as Pep is.
Then United seems like a great option to me. Let's not pretend Sanchez would be happy to rotate much under Pep.
The league next year should be pretty equal next year with Sanchez on the team. It's probably not our last signing neither over the summer.
Unbelievable. Feck off.
Sky reporting that Aube not in squad for Hertha Berlin game tomorrow.
If Aube move goes through, it would mean Arsenal got Mckhi + Aube for a small outlay in cash. And let go Sanchez in exchange. Would be great business on their part tbh. Win-win deal for both, them and us

Suddenly they forget united have history and see known everywhere, ask a football fan about Manchester they are thinking of united not city.
Exactly. It's what the media want and our fans are falling for it hook, line and sinker.
I"m not bothered about us signing him at 12pm, As long as we sign him today, And the sun talking about moral, Oh the irony, You couldn't make it up.
possible, but i'd think you'd have heard journo leaks by now. Likely Raiola briefing the press that mkhi had signed.
Trophies !! Trophies !!
Can Alexis find space for ALL his Arsenal trophies ?!

I don't read the dailies. I get my news from the BBC website. Even then I don't read their take on a story but read the facts and form my own opinion.
Funny enough he turns 31 next year
At the stroke of midnight when he turns 30 all the cells in his body will age 1000 years.I suspect that 'article' will feature prominently in F365's Mediawatch today.
I just rely on the Caf now!
I gave in and clicked on the Sun article.
"What a piece of work he is."
"What a piece of work he is."
Didn't Di Maria make his debut V Burnley?! Perhps we should wait...
Sanchez Honours with:
Arsenal
His total with Arsenal is THREE (3);
Poor chap never won a Premier League with them!

All good points. It's shocking really how the media is conveniently forgetting all of those above points.
However, had City offered to match our wage demands, do we think Sanchez would still have chosen us?
