Anyone got a link to the video of DT saying he'll drink bleach if Sanchez comes to us please?
Poor Mihkitaryan
On the other hand, their season is 6 months long, 7.5 months if they go to the finals, while an EPL season is 9 months, stretching to 9.5 if they make a European final.
But I agree with your point when comparing it to American sports. Messi and Neymar (maybe Ronaldo?) are in that LeBron/Kershaw range. But that next tier of player just below the very top seem to be paid less in football than American sports.
The other aspect though is their top players will now have a new benchmark to go after. Imagine Harry Kane's agent at his next contract discussion.
I wouldn't matter, it doesn't suit their narrative. They often over report fees like this, it's not uncommon for them to add transfer + Wages when it's a number that grabs the attention, I'm pretty sure they reported the Neymar deal as a £500mil transfer more than once.
And in City's case, it's their only hope at saving any face after spending months with the romantic "being re-united with Pep" card being played only to get rejected for similar wages.
Much as they're wrong, quite why we're supposed to be embarrassed about the figures been reported is a mystery to me, we've got it, so we'll spend it, long may it continue.
What ever the wage/transfer fee is, have no doubt Alex Sanchez would be a hit. This is not like Lukaku transfer where people were worried about the quality of player we're getting. His dribbling is on Hazard/Coutinho level and his finishing is better.
You've got a reply from a fan on bluemoon:

"pogbad"
Have they deleted their Sanchez threads yet?
yeah. It's funny that their offer is completely forgotten.
There doesn't seem to be a single journalist who speaks well about united or put proper figures when it comes to our transfers. They just slash nonsense numbers or add all the addons to make the deal as expensive as possible. Martial (80m), Pogba (120m), Lukaku (90m) and now Sanchez (180m). While all the other transfers done by City and Chelsea are described as bargains. City have spent 130m on full backs, have 3 of the top 5 most expensive defenders ever and no one talks about Saint Pep spending money to buy the league but we spend some omney and we hear thousand of articles about our money and crazy spending, adding up fantasy numbers to make the villain of the media.
Honestly feck the English media.
Honestly feck the English media.
Pogbad. fecking knuckle draggers.
Imagine being that bitter
That's brilliant.
I don't know what is more funny, Jose and Pogba forcing him out of the building, while Miki screams, shouts and protests.
Or Wenger and Cech, grabbing him from the floor, by the collar and forcing him into the car.
This press Fake news fest is going year after year. Always the same
Who gives a bollox about who breaks the story. Unless there is someone handing out cash or medals for the person it matters not a jot
wtf
I hope he reads this one and tells us what he thinks about the defense which has seen more money than majority of the world's countries.
Good lord that forum is horrible on the eye.
As an aside, if anyone has the page number of that thread where they find out they're pulling out of the deal, I would be much obliged
Is this forum for kids ? They quality of posts there are shocking even for rival fans ?
Beverly Hills Cop?
Mr Moonz seems upset bless him
He's got 172 posts in that thread - 15 today mostly going on about how Sanchez is greedy and we're the only club in the world who'd pay his exorbitant wages with City, Bayern and PSG having the moral sense not to take the deal.wtf
That's a very fair point.
Not attentional to be fair. I am just a muppet like the rest of you. Some guys on here is salty as feck.
Wait till the 5pm (EST - 10pm UK time) press deadline for the big news of the day.
Pretty much everybody in the game now recognises that Pogba was pretty good value at that price... apart from this deluded tool.
As a Lakers and United fan... I find it absurd that Jordan Clarkson and KCP get paid more than someone of Alexis's quality. He should get paid 500k per week if you go by international standards for other sports. If the players are getting less... it means the money's only going into the pockets of the owners who are already getting enough going by the enormous valuations of the teams.
Yeah, I'm sure they've embargoed important news regarding this transfer.
Saw that. I absolutely love these tears from any club who was priced out.
That's page 4327!!! What the actual feck? They have no fans to be posting and have failed the transfer and they're worse Muppets than us! I thought this place was another level in transfer muppetry, but now I understand we're only Sunday league.

"Manchester United’s deal to sign Alexis Sanchez is worth around £675 million in total. £47m a year before tax, on top of his £50m valuation, £37m signingon fee and agents fee worth over £400m.
If that sounds high it's because I made it up".

They only have 10 posts per page as they're incapable of reading more than that on one page (we have 40). Sanchez thread is something like their 2nd most posted thread in their history whereas it would barely make the top 10 here.
