I'm not convinced that suddenly City refuses to pay for Alexis or for his agent to make it happen specially after knowing we entered the race! Since when City refuses to pay for a player they want let alone someone like Sanchez? Someone give me a real good reason how we are favorite to sign him over City!
Maybe pep reckons City don't really need him that much? Would he be a guaranteed starter or a rotation option? I think the latter.

Neville has played totally into Ballbags hands, he's a WUM and a twat and lives off the noise. He's like a fire; cut off the oxygen and ignore him.

So assuming he joins us or City, when do we reckon it'll be done? This week or is it gonna drag on? I hope it happens soon either way.

We signed Lukaku when everyone was convinced he was as good as Chelsea's.

Tbh I'm not that arsed if he goes to City. He's a top player but he's only got one/two years left at the top level. We're better off finding N emerging talent that'll be here for the next decade.

I'd be delighted if we signed him as he'd be great for us, but won't be a disaster if the rumours aren't true.

BBC says it will happen as soon as Arsenal sign a replacement, which probably means in 2088 or thereabout.

Balague is a total prick- why do people care about his opinion? He acts like he has loads of insider knowledge but is usually speaking rubbish

It's José, he loves a good gazump. John Obi Mikel, Willian, Pedro, Fabregas, Lukaku and hopefully Sanchez

They want him is available, but dont see him as a necessity.
Jesus has been magically healed by Pep's docs.
Pep is pissed off that Sanchez (or his agent) is holding out for more money rather than dying to work under him.

Probably a week or two. Arsenal have to ''sign a replacement'' as Wenger said.

We were the ones that took Mikel from under Jose's nose, not the other way around
Eh? We had the lad signed yeah, but then he refused to play for us and in the end played for Chelsea.

Pogue is banned? Since when?

Toxicity, he didn't like the stuff written?
First few weeks of the transfer window were absolutely awful on here when City signed 3/4 players, started after they got Silva I think.

Signing Sanchez is one thing, but the effect of signing him would be huge. Players would start to turn their head again. It would also unleash Pogba the way we want

Nobody but Bal-ache and City fans would think Utd are only attractive to players because of money- We're Man Utd not Blackburn

Swap deals are not really a thing now; rather teams have an under the table agreement to swap players. We probably did that with Lukaku and Rooney, and it probably has something to do with agents complicating swap deals, so it's easier just to do the deals separately.

Where the goals come from.

How so? One of the few misgivings I'd have about signing him is that just about every lineup anybody has come up with has Pogba pushed very much back to being one of the two deepest midfielders. I wan't Pogba free to get forwards. (Not saying this couldn't happen with Sanchez, but I can't see how he particularly assists the idea).

Cripes man, if you think waiting just over 1 day is going to be hard, you're in for a long almost 3 weeks yet!
