Tomorrow has to be the day surely. I expect the deal to be wrapped up by the end of the weekend.

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?

Money? We're gonna drive inflation through the roof so much that the 1920's depression will look like a blip. Total financial meltdown leading to a world akin to mad max.
We're getting one of the best players in the league and the star of a direct rival for a player we don't want nor use plus agent fees. It shows how absolutely fecking crackers it is and how hurt the feelings of the pro-Pep paper pricks are that this is somehow being seen as a terrible, waste-of-money deal.
We should really hear something official by Sunday or Monday at least.
I know it is a joke, but it will never be a better joke than....Crouch
still laughing at the sun calling Sanchez a “treacherous turncoat”
Lazy question...
Can he play in the CL or has Arsenal’s Europa campaign tied him up until next season?

He can play in CL
he can play in the CL, yes. CL teams can register one player who has already played EL this season.
Feckin face on this moron.
He can play.
I'm still laughing at the sun thinking they're a credible newspaper.
I tweeted that a week ago, they're behind the times
Even Liverpool fans have begun to text me and say the finance guys at United should get the sack.
He’s saying our clubs balance sheet is a mess. He’s an accountant. He’s reading and believing the £180m package for Sanchez and saying we’re ruining football. Can any of the finance boys on here help me out with some counter arguments?!

No Ed is fine, it's just 101% of the fan-base that's highly strung
Any more than 10 seconds of that and the annoying screech and you'll lose your mind
It really does amaze me fans, regardless of profession, think they’ll have a superior insight to the people running the club. Honestly stuns me. Call him an idiot and move on. Our money, we can spend it how we want.Even Liverpool fans have begun to text me and say the finance guys at United should get the sack.

It's 180 million over 4 and a half years, so roughly 40 million per year. Manchester United have the lowest salary to earnings percentage in the league.Even Liverpool fans have begun to text me and say the finance guys at United should get the sack.

Ffs, la.Just tell him it like it is, that he’s a monumental bellend that doesn’t know what he’s talking about.Even Liverpool fans have begun to text me and say the finance guys at United should get the sack.

Well, it was run by Lingard yesterday.
I think your mate is just jealous.Even Liverpool fans have begun to text me and say the finance guys at United should get the sack.

No you are not. Companies try to get fixed costs off their books all the time. We could quite easily equate removing his wage off the books as more important than gaining a fee from him.
Yep.
Not a very good one if he believes the bollockology the media are reporting.Even Liverpool fans have begun to text me and say the finance guys at United should get the sack.

Correct. There is no market value in this for either player. Since suddenly everyone needs to discuss "book value" (e.g. total cost of ownership), all numbers needs to reflect this. You can't pick and choose the numbers that fits your agenda.
If Mkhitaryan cost us £27m in 2016 on a 4-year contract, this will mean he is valued to approx £17m in our books today. That is what Sanchez will cost us in "transfer fee" given straight swap.
Then we must consider saved wages on HM, compared to wages for AS. Then we will have the total deal cost.
However, not sure where agent fees fit in. Everyone pays them of course, but it is not a player wage. So it will not go against the FFP either.
Anyway, don't care, get him in
So, does anyone reckon this'll happen at midnight?
Hahhaha, thanks guys. Even though he’s a scouser & jealous, I unfortunately can’t call him a bellend...though I would really like to! Lol
Specs will go back to be a City fan if Sanchez joins us
Imagine if our defense was made from a 75mi CB, and two fullbacks that amount 80mi and a 40mi goalkeeper.
Specs?Specs will go back to be a City fan if Sanchez joins us
Just ask him where he finds the the merit in assessing a club’s finances on unsubstantiated rumours.
Say someone who is intelligent enough to be an accountant should not be naive enough to believe the ramblings of the gutter press. We are not going to pay him £500k a week.Even Liverpool fans have begun to text me and say the finance guys at United should get the sack.

It was an article that Matt Law had written. I did try and explain to him that he wouldn’t have a clue about our signings and finances...but in true scouse style, said I’m delusional because I don’t believe the paper...especially that ML!
Ok, so say we sold him elsewhere now for £20 m (which we surely could), then used that money to pay for part of Sanchez, then they'd still be no fee?
Why didn’t they factor in the wages and agent fees when city bought a full back for 50 million, or when Liverpool bought a defender for 75 million. Is this a new thing? It’s starting to really irritate me now. We’re not paying a transfer fee so where’s the 35m coming from? We’re getting rid of a player we don’t want and also taking his wages of our books. There was none of this uproar when the media thought he was gonna go to city.
Here you go though, Van Dijk will cost 162 million and he was a defender at a club that was crap defensively, and still is.
