Crazy how we'd still have to pay him roughly £265,000 a week just to get rid of him unless Roma up their wage structure. Don't think that he has done well enough here but by not replacing Lukaku and then loaning Sanchez would leave us seriously low on numbers.
Like searching for a car without an engine.
If our youngsters play the cup games then most of our first team squad are looking at 38 odd games this season. 1 game a week.
It would be an incredibly bold decision, i.e. a risky one. An injury to Rashford or Martial and things will look worrying. Injuries to both and the situation will look bleak.
It's a good point. If anyone is being discriminatory it's players and their wives. Griezmann has reservations and his wife doesn't want to come here. Di Maria and his partner had their heart set on Paris before we bought him, we shouldn't have got involved. Evra's wife wanted to leave England.
But will also have to subsidise huge wages should he go to Roma.
His games were extremely broken and he rarely started back to back (if at all) under Ole where the system would have actually suited his style of play.
Subsidising some of them (or most of them) is better than paying all of them.
That is true but we'll at least not be wasting all of the money we were paying for a useless player.
He looked garbage every time he played under Jose and Ole. His legs are gone and I think the intensity of the PL is too much for him now. Playing in Italy in a central role closer to the box might be what he needs.
Wasn't that more to do with his extra curricular activities?
No fan of Sanchez but he can play also as a second striker or main striker. We'd be seriously short on options if Rashford/Martial are not available for some league game. In the cup games we can play Greenwood and Chong, no problem, but in the PL?
Sanchez is either injured or terrible when he's not. Let greenwood get the odd minutes if both Rashford and Martial are out for a week.

20m euros after the price they asked us to pay.
They’re idiots as he’s the perfect foil for Lukaku. I wonder if Bayern fans complain about what a penny pinching club they are?
They are absolutely livid.
I agree that subsidising them is better than paying all of them but we will still be paying about 2 thirds of them. Which is still rather a lot and I believe it will leave us short of numbers if he goes.
That is how it looks. A stop-gap signing.
Not only that. I keep hearing things like what if rashford martial are injured. I dunno what if son and kane are Injured for spurs. Or Mane and Salah are both injured for Liverpool. They are both as fecked as we would be.
Hopefully that is their reasoning. I would still expect them to sign another winger.
You're really excited about this?
I can barely contain myself
Thought so.
He played there for Chile in the Copa America and looked absolutely shit. His best performance was against a Japan U21 side and he still looked slow...
He was very poor today. Looked leggy as feck.
