I think my inner muppet would be in an extended orgasmic state if we signed Sanchez and Pastore.

Haha. I beat you to it by a minute.
Inter bound then?
Was too busy trying to get the link to the price thing right .... argh !!!
Sadly there's no way we'll get either Pastore or Sanchez* with Chelsea and City interested and our reluctance to spend much, at least on well known (in the muppet sense) players.
Put that muppet-on away
* or Hazard, Lukaku, Hamsik or any of the rest of them

I'll decide when we're not in fo Hamsik thank you very much.
Nani and Valencia will still be with us. Park won't go anywhere. Giggs will be here another year. Cleverley, Welbeck, Obertan, Bebe can all play out wide.
No chance we're gonna get him.

I posted this before it happened, but he just scored a header against Sampdoria. Kiko is on the bench.

Meh, Hamsik scored as well as completly run the game against Sampdoria last week.
Looking at the highlights of Udinese vs Sampdoria he was at the center of Udinese's best attacking play again.
Why do people have this attitude that, as we have good options on the wings when everyone is fit, that we shouldn't make the squad even better in this area?
I rate Valencia and Nani very highly, and Giggs is a legend who can still put in good performances. Park is a useful contributor. Bebe and Obertan are very, very raw kids.
There is definitely room for a Sanchez or Bale.

Anyone who wouldn't want Sanchez at United is a fool.
He's more than a brilliant winger, he's a brilliant footballer. As for example, Giggs is and Figo was.
He could fit into and enhance any team.

Exactly, it adds competition and Giggs is 37 so missing out on Sanchez when we could see Giggs retire next season makes no sense. He is a special talent, beyond just a good winger as Bearded says, he'd enhance our attacking options no end.
Plus I've seen him play well up front for Udinese. He'd be a fantastic addition although I see a central midfielder as a much higher priority.
We should strengthen both, though I agree CM is definitely most pressing.
Nothing wrong with getting a quality player like this because frankly other than Nani, Valencia, Giggs - we don't have a 4th pure winger and even then Giggs you'd think next season would be more central.
Last season Giggs was supposed to shift more centrally but, when Nani started of poorly and was injured he got played more on the wing. This season with Valencia's injury and Park being out - again he has been played more on the wing than I think SAF would want him to.
Having the option of Nani, Valencia, Sanchez and Park as your main wingers next season should be at the top of the list or if not then at least a 4th quality winger. We depends a lot upon our wings IMO and when we we are lacking options to change up our wingers in games, hurts us. Right now we try to shift Rooney there or try to change our forwards or something centrally to give us more creativity but, on a day when Giggs or Nani are having a bad day - especially with Valencia/Park being out - SAF has been forced to make substitutions he may not make if he had more options on the wing.
Maybe Cleverly will be that 4th option but, Sanchez looks the business and as people have said why would you not want him as one if we can get him.

Would almost be career suicide for Sanchez to go to Barca. Who to bench...Pedro? Villa? Affelay is already on the bench. Not sure why these youngsters take the punt.
If it really is "your dream"...do a Ronaldo first etc.

And the race ends.
Udinese leading 3-0 away from home after 30 minutes, Sanchez has scored twice. Sign him up 
9 Goals and 5 Assists in 24 league games for Sanchez now.

Hat-trick baby .......he is the real deal
Di Natale with a double, he`s in the form of his life too
And by the way: Palermo vs Udinese 0-5 at half-time

Scored his fourth shortly after half-time. Insane.
Sign him up already.
So Sanchez or Ashley Young.My bets on the latter.
Him and Di Natale are the best atacking partnership in Serie A.
There will be a bidding war.
Man City will make some astronomical bid for this guy if they dont get Bale as they will be looking for new wingers for sure!
Man City would buy any top player just for the sake of it so that no other club gets him.
He's awesome this kid,will be one of the worlds best in a few years, but we probably won't buy him.

We gotta be in the hunt for him.
Becoming a fantastic striker.
I'm afraid we are buying Young not Sanchez..
Pretty easy to say after a game like that.
He's insanely quick. Like Walcott but with end product.
That second goal of his was Ronaldo-esque.
That's almost an insult really. Unlike Walcott he is a genuine dribbling wizard.
I think we will sign some other Obertan, Tosic, Bebe
or Possibly a Hernandez or Smalling.
