Alexis Sanchez | Done deal

[redshaw]

Maybe it's the Jose United combo. Jose complained about Chelsea not getting any plaudits and he was correct. Combine those two things with Saint Pep and the points they've amassed in 20 odd games

Can you imagine if we'd signed a Southampton defender for £75 million, we'd be called crackers, and be guilty of putting the game into disrepute but with Liverpool it's crickets.

United had something similar to Sanchez for Martial (who many want now apparently). United were out of the minds and the fee kept rising. Journos were walking the streets of France asking people can you adam and eve it.

Idk why this didn't materialize on Wednesday/Thursday, it's just not about us but Arsenal too. If they think Mkhi will be a starter then they should have had him before the weekend, they are 8 points off top 4 and Sanche7 and us have already agreed.

An away, tough game, you need one of your sure starter in Mkhi.

So many muppets are gonna post that anyway, you just know it.

This really does make me wonder how I survive the summer sagas. This has totally taken over my life it’s ridiculous. Not quite sure why, think it’s due to the unexpected nature of it and then it looked like imminent completion for days so it just sucks you right in.

I can't believe we're doing that, how ridiculous, that's another £15m on top of the cost of Sanchez, that must be at least £390m now. fecking Woody doesn't have a clue.

Don't forget the United tax, at 150% per year.

The lack of urgency is quite annoying. If you’re Arsenal just pay whatever Raiola is asking and get it done.

 

[Turnip]

I'm also convinced that if Pep stayed at City and they stayed successful for anything like as long as United or Fergie have been (baring in mind they have a long long time to go before getting anywhere near as successful as United) pundits would also starting hating them and getting bored of it. It's natural that eventually everyone hates the best. The other thing is, by being the best you're inevitably going to ruin everyone's day at some point, so that on numerous occasions and them fans remember.

Something apt for this evening.


That's in before we go disco/dabbing/whatever else when Sanchez finally signs up.

The funny thing is it's actually a financially astute move.

Mkhi, with all due respect to the bloke, is/was dead weight in the squad and clearly it hasn't worked out for him. We've managed to ship him out in exchange for bringing in a truly top level attacking player who already knows the league and can slot straight in.

Mkhi cost us, what, £27m? And we've avoided any transfer fee by utilising him in an exchange with the added bonus of moving him on.

The wages are high, of course they are, but not in a million years are they as high as the media are jizzing on about and they're the same as what City would have been putting him on anyway. So many "journalists" have shown themselves up for what they are with the mental gymnastics they've performed over him choosing us over them, you just have to laugh at how petty they are.

@Macern is climbing!

Hopefully the saga will last long enough for me to finish 2nd or even 1st. I've entered twitter territory so that should help.

That's like 6 hours or so old news

 

[Class of 63]

If we lose against Burnley fully expect Ed and his Chums to go the extra mile to close the deal tomorrow, if we don't it'll be sorted Tuesday 13:30 ish

 

[dwd]

That literally makes no sense at all.

Would you mind explaining the logic behind that, la?

Just hearing United have agreed to pay dog food and vet bills for Sanchez's two dogs. Total transfer including shampoo is now an eye watering £785 million.

 

[#LoveManchesterUnited]

So we will not announce sanchez before monday or later then? Or do they do transfers in weekends?

 

[Crackers]

We'd be barking mad to pay that.

 

[RedChip]

You need to contribute. We're not gonna hit 1000 without a bit of effort

Alexis is coming.

What I remember of the Pogba thread is Sam constantly telling us Pogba wasn't gonna come.

 

[Rado_N]

There isn't, which just underlines how ridiculous these idiots are.

We should offer PSG a billion for him, feck it, lean into the skid.

 

[Macern]

After tax, yeah. It’ll be somewhere between 1.1-1.3bn in total expenditures for Man Utd, according to Gianluca de Ornstein

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

Why do people keep quoting £180m? With other transfers they just seem to quote the transfer fee. E.g. How much did Liverpool pay for Van Dyke? I heard £75m reported so is this including all signing on fees, agent fee and wages over how ever many years?

 

[Fully Fledged]

I can't believe we're doing that, how ridiculous, that's another £15m on top of the cost of Sanchez, that must be at least £390m now. fecking Woody doesn't have a clue.

If it's not half a billion then I'm not interested. Sort it out Woody another £110m before Alexis signs I know you can do it. After all we are all about spending money not making money for the Glazers.

After all everybody knows that United are all about wasting money.

 

[Olly Gunnar Solskjær]

It's all insane

 

[RedChip]

At least January window ones have the relief of games in between! The summer is one barren place!

Indeed. Plus the whole thing will be shut within a fortnight; so this will conclude relatively soon.

Why can't North London take Simon Stone and give us Orny instead

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Is this the 2nd highest(in terms of pages) transfer thread on the cafe or was Di Maria's higher?

 

[C'est Moi Cantona]

How is there a transfer fee if it's a swap?

Mkitayrian has a value, he'd be worth around £20-£30 million in the summer surely, so that's the transfer fee, no idea about the signing on fee though.

 

[Rado_N]

It's all insane

Wenger said plain as day that it's a straight player exchange, but these feckheads have pulled a transfer fee out of their arses and are throwing it around like it's fact.
