People are ludicrous thinking he could play against Burnley tomorrow, maybe if he signed yesterday. Deal between clubs, him to be in city, medical, train with teammates, still all to happen. 10.30am today and still believing ha ha..

Wasn't there a tweet last week or beginning of this week that said Sanzhez' debut would be against Yeovil?
I think that is more likely, not just due to the fact that this is actually quite a complicated transfer, but he hasn't trained with his new team mates yet. It was unlikely that Jose would throw him straight in.

There's no way this happening today, tomorrow or Sunday - this is gonna drag on for a very long time, probably next weekend at the earliest I reckon.

Arsenal seem to be in no rush to get this resolved, neither are Mkhi and Raiola.

Forget seeing him against Burnley, or Yeovil in my opinion.

Is the player registration process a public one? I assume it involves filing paperwork with the Premier League, which doesn't have to be public straight away?
But you need to have completed the transaction of the player before you can register him.

The transaction is incomplete without the medical and that's where I think it won't happen today. Mkhi is still at Carrington training and the registration deadline is 1 hour away.

Your opinion is silly and hilariously negative, must not be much fun being like that.

The problem Neil Ashton has, is that his headline on Sunday was that Sanchez would come crawling back to Pep after he sweet talked him on the phone and that he wouldn't join United. He presented this narrative on the Sunday Supplement.

All the while anyone with half a brain knew by then that Sanchez was heading to United and City were briefing the press in an attempt to save face.

He has been so wrong on this he has to create a narrative that exonerates him from his embarrassing professional incompetence.

£14m after tax, allegedly.

People forget to include the income this transfer will generate for Man Utd, whether it will be from shirt sales, sponsor deals or even his image rights, cause I m guessing Man Utd will own percentage of that.

If this isn't done by noon, has Sanchez played his last game for Arsenal yet?
Wenger said he'd play, but he also said this would be done by now. But he's been training with the youth team so for me there's no way back from that as quickly as this weekend.

You don't get cup tied for the league cup. You do for the FA cup.
You mean there is no Cup tied critieria for league cup? If so there is.

6.4 No player shall play for more than one Club in the Cup Competition in any one Season.
Mkhitaryan played in both FA cup and league cup, so he is cup tied. (not that Arsenal will need him for FA cup :p)

Wait...
Oh right, Pro Evolution Soccer.
