Alexis Sanchez | Done deal

[Paxi]

people were giving me grief cause I created ABU media thread. Thats clear as day.. Was listening to 5 live the other day and that cnut Green was frothing out of his arsehole talking how Sanchez betrayed City or something.

Ah well, siege mentality suits us. it's us against them. There is more of us than all of them put together. cnuts.

FAQ's

Can Sanchez still play against Burnley?

No. Unless the deals already been completed and we've not been told, the deadline for him to be eligible was midday today.

How much are we paying him a week?

According to reliable sources, roughly £350k a week. There are also bonuses which some media are reporting as being part of his base salary. However.. nobody actually knows.

When will it be complete?

If first, when later. It looks like a certainty, but nobody actually knows. Most reliable outlets think it's likely to be a formality in the coming few days or week.

Whats the hold up?

Again, people the caf would trust above others say it's due to Myhi's contract negotiations, and his agent stalling to ensure deal gets over the line.. but ensuring the biggest wad of money possible going his way.


These probably resolve around 85% of posts in this thread - anymore needed? Or are we at this point surrendering and just going for volume of posts?

He’s got a cob on abar the match, la.

 

[windycityfan]

Wtf is going on? Is he a United player yet? If yes, how soon will he play? If not yet, any chance the deal may fall through?

Picked the worst time to drink heavily. Can’t keep track of it all.

 

[Giggs86]

Even after a full agreement, the clubs will have to coordinate how they want their respective announcements. Videos need to be done over the weekend.

With all the Joe videos, all the gifs and memes floating around... the clubs might as well use those for the announcements.

Ffs in tears, man up Mickhi!!!

Poor lad

 

[Judas]

Wenger was adamant if it wasnt completed within the 24 hours he would play. Let's see if he goes through with it

That’s not what he meant. He meant if the deal wasn’t going to happen, but it clearly is.

 

[Paxi]

To be fair, last year he was banging the 'Pep is a Pep Guardiola is my idol' drum and while I appreciate that some might share that view on this forum, I think it's pretty obvious that he's just on a mission to generate the clicks, and also being a bit thick.

Which makes the whole article even more fecking stupid.

Wenger is like a mad bastard who agreed to sell his car but still will beat the shit out of it just before turning the keys over.

 

[Nick7]

ah jaysis, almost starting to feel bad for the lad

 

[sewey89]

Talksport are absolutely full of it.

I think Adrian Durham is in full wind up mode

“United paying Sanchez half a million a week!”
“More than Messi!”
“Bringing in Sanchez instead of playing Rashford sums mourinho up”
“He’s chose United for money. No other reason”

SHUT THE feck UP YOU INSUFFERABLE TWAT

 

[Fridge chutney]

I have this sinking feeling that the Sanchez deal is starting to crumble and Liverpool will swoop him up instead.

Clever negotiating tactic from United to drag out Sanchez confirmation. According to the press we’ve already saved £15m in wages that we would have spent if we’d got him at the start of the week.

 

[Tibs]

It's a shame Chile aren't going to be at the World Cup...I'd have loved it if Sanchez scored a dubious goal know us out of the WC, the pain would be be too much for some of these journos

 

[Fully Fledged]

You would be crying too if you had to go from United to arsenal.

I wouldn't go. Arsenal are a mess and I can't stand Londoners.

[Flytan]

I love how the press think that we're paying Sanchez some ridiculous amount. I mean it's the Glazers and Ed Woodward, we aren't doing anything unless we're making money off of it. These people are insufferable lmao

 

[Mrs Smoker]

I lasted until here...

Manchester City, working with Pep again, was supposed to be about so much more than money.

Hehehehehehehehe.

Can't believe people still get wound up by Durham in 2018

You know he just deliberately says controversial things or takes up controversial viewpoints just to get people listening, tweeting, calling in right? Then Goughy (or whatever mug he's got with him these days) will take up the opposite view.

That's sad. It must've been his dream to play for United and I'm sorry it didn't work out for both parties. Still he can prove himself again at Arsenal who should suit him better than United because there's less pressure there.

 

[sosolid4u09]

All the Arsenal people doing the same. They are blown away with getting Miki in exchange apparantly

its completely fair.
Miki was a quality player long before he joined United.
I have no doubt he will thrive there.

Sanchez for Miki straight swap is a fair deal.

 

[Nigel Refalo]

He's Joining Arsenal of course he would be in tears.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Imagine moralising about football transfers

And while applying a moral code to them, still arriving at the conclusion that Man City can take the moral high road with transfers.... baffling.

This caps off the last 250 pages I think. Not much to say apart from that.

Either way I don't think he'll featured against Burnley, neither Mkhi. Shouldn't make a difference for us either way as Mkhi was in pretty bad shape and we should win the game without Sanchez...

So this latest reported development not considered reliable enough to threadmark?

I normally listen to it on the way to work every night, but couldn't do it last night after listening to them talking bollocks for 5 minutes

He's joining Arsenal...

Poor sod. Well done Mkhi you've taken one for the team.

I mentioned it. As soon as he said the first line I switched off. I used to enjoy listening to Talksport, except when Quinn is on of course, but now it is kick United at every single opportunity. They make me sick and there is always some stupid United fan who panders to their agenda.

 

[Jacob]

Will Micky be the most liked player in a rivalling team? All of this is truly unjustified and unfairly harsh on him.

 

[manunited1919]

With all the Joe videos, all the gifs and memes floating around... the clubs might as well use those for the announcements.

Absolutely, they should use the video from “Bridge of Spies” and do a joint announcement.

[Paxi]

I feel like ringing the sun and calling him a cnut...

I'm going to pretend I have a tidbit about Sanchez moving to Man Utd and when he gets on the phone - Neil Ashton you're fecking bitch bloodklat fam!

Hang up.

Bastard.

I've been drinking.

It's from the Mail, hence the [Mail] at the end
