Alexis Sanchez United player

[Ananke]

It's BS to think someone earning mega money is bothered about another class signing (who could make a huge difference to winning trophies) earning more money than them. That dressing room will be buzzing that Sanchez is in their with them, as opposed to being unsettled because he's on a bit more cash.

Cmon.

 

[Motorman]

Do we have any training pictures yet? Not sure whether the lads are back yet?

 

[pjaya]

Any training pics?

The squard having 2 days off if not mistaken possibly tomorrow there is training pics

Even BBC report that his wage can go to 600.000 per Week. 450K is safe and the rest is bonus.

Will it create unrest in the squad?

600k is somewhat accurate because it factors in signing on bonuses & image rights - however these aren't *typically* given to the player monthly, like a wage is - this can be different depending on the contract, but not likely.
What happens is the tabloids add up the numbers across the entire 5-year contract, then divide by 12, then by 4 to give a sensationalised weekly figure - because it sells more papers/gets more clicks.

350k sounds about right.

Apparently him arriving at Carrington today but thats about it. Im sure he said he was looking forward to spending his first day with the squad training, meaning today but not sure.

Pogba is 25, Sanchez is 29. United will use the pay differential to motivate Pogba et al. 'See what you can earn if you/we are successful, see, we pay this money, not just empty promises but for real'. Handled correctly it will be a positive.

 

[Saad138]

So did Woodward make up for his non-signing of Perisic in the summer with the signing of Sanchez now ?

 

[KirkDuyt]

I swear you keep flip flopping between being a United fan or not

Hahaha, I feel like I have to explain myself daily. I love United and always root for them unless they play Feyenoord. But I feel you can only really support one club and that's Feyenoord.

They should be back today, Sunday and Monday were days off.

Who remembers his spat with Herrera in our last game vs Arsenal?

Just saw this in Tescos and felt we should spare a thought for those clubs feeling less chuffed about the transfer window.

It’s a dance made famous by a rap song and Jesse did it at the Emirates after his goal.

I'm sure it's most likely gossip but Portuguese press has some stuff on how Pogba is not happy with Alexis getting a significantly higher wage than him, the previous top earner.

While the rumoured wage is not necessarily true, it seems very likely that he is on more than Paul is. And so, do you think it might affect squad harmony negatively ? I think Pogba is a much better player than Sanchez so it could be a bit hard to take for the French.

Pogba won't care. It's Raiola that would care on his and Zlatan's behalf

Pogba is 24 - hard to believe.

 

[SATA]

Can't believe we have Pogba and Sanchez playing in the same team. It's almost cheating

 

[Thecarrickfan_2016]

I couldn't give a shit how much he's getting in wages, It's the club's money at the end of the day, We've got the money, Spend it.

Nice but 3rd line doesn't fit the tune. Could be:

"Score us a goal, you're the piano man
Score us a goal tonight
He goes by the name of Alexis
And he's got us feelin' alright"

or for even better rhyme:
"Score us a goal, you're the piano man
Score us a goal tonight
Tearin our rivals apart you can
And you got us feelin' alright"

Anyway, welcome to the biggest club in England "Piano Man"!

Your third line is syllables short. The original is:

"Well we're all in the mood for a melody"

That "melody" is important to try and recreate as well to fit the tune. You've replaced it with "Alexis" or "you can" which even if there were enough syllables, doesn't sound right.

 

[Dargonk]

Great to see this finally finalised

If anyone would say this deal would be happening, I am certain nobody would believe a word

Crazy how something can spread so fast. It was a rushed and pretty shoddy bit of editing. I can do a lot better

 

[MemphisDepay]

I don’t care about the fee or anything, we’ve got Alexis fecking Sanchez!

 

[Nick7]

the squad did have two days off. Sunday and Monday I'm pretty sure.

 

[SATA]

I assume they should be back at Carrington today, and three days to train before Yeovil at Friday

That was great peace of work. Take it from someone who does it for living. But, next time make sure you are credited!

I'm loving the Chilean media throughout this whole saga, a great bunch of lads.

We must be massive over there. Any resident South Americans wish to comment?

 

[VanGaalEra]

[QUOTE="VanGaalEra, post: 22060241, member: 90429"

all papers, let me check they printed the United Anthem (LUN), journos are recommending the 10 best movies about United, bios of Fergusson, Mourinho, Alexis performances, Alexis best goals, the history of United, the tragic accident, the players who played by United, the history of the Anthem, the best United goals (with emphasis i the win against Bayern in Barcelona), reports about the city, a report about the parks in Manchester, the history of Manchester, the new teammates of Alexis, the story of Henriquez and Poli (they never played any official matches), Fergusson/Marcelo Salas story, 15 minutes in every channel, mostly the whole sport segment and even more in newspapers today.
Twitter was crazy, the journos and the people were very happy for two reasons. The meaning of Alexis playing in a team like Manchester United and because the soap opera transfer saga ends finally. If you see a lot of Chilean journalists around be nice, I´m aware of at least 3 special envoys there and the others are supposed to be at the presentation. well if you need help with a translation of anything from Chilean media, just ask, I will be happy to help.

We love you Chile!

The salary will be around 300k to 350k. The other 100k a week is his signing on fee spread over the length of his contract.

They got the story from the Daily Mirror. If Pogba wants to extend his stay then I'm for it anyway. He still has 4 and a half years on his contract so if we put another couple on it, he will be ours until he is 30.

 

[Balagan]

The Alexis welcome video was very slick.....

Nice but 3rd line doesn't fit the tune. Could be:

"Score us a goal, you're the piano man
Score us a goal tonight
He goes by the name of Alexis
And he's got us feelin' alright"

I was thinking something to the tune of the old kids classic I am the Music-man by Black Lace

"He’s our Alexis now
He comes from far away
And he can play
What can he play?

He plays Piano

Pia Pia Piano, Piano, Piano
Pia Pia Piano Pia Piano"

 

[RedPnutz]

Fun notice; The number 7 shirt has recently gone to players whose name has 7 letters; Cantona, Beckham, Ronaldo, Memphis, Di Maria, Sanchez.

(Yes I know Valencia wore it for a little while)

Antonio. Michael.

This might be the best bit of business we've done since we got RVP.

Sanchez is a world beater, to bring him in is amazing in and of itself...and to only have to give up Henrik, who looked a bust, is absolutely amazing. We're laughing our way to the bank on this one.

Absolutely, Arsenal fans must be sick of the sight of United

 

[Werder Herzog]

Any news on how long he's out for after an inevitable Phil Jones first day thunder challenge in training?

Piers Morgan is taking the news very badly.

Piers Morgan is a toolbag. Happy he went into relative obscurity, just not far enough yet. His tirade about RvP was legendary tho.

On another note: any pics of Alexis training with the lads yet?

The first thing you need to do next time is some sort of watermark with your name on it. Nonetheless, you can now tattoo your back with something like "done gone viral, yo". It's still be less stupid than the one Sane got heh
