It’s painful watching this guy and then seeing Mahrez at City. Why oh why didn’t we let City sign him? He probably would have disrupted them & piss Sane/Sterling off at the same time.
Firstly, I wouldn't use the word 'obscene', and I don't even object to players earning whatever they can. I'm just wondering why I'm funding it.I'm really trying to understanding the logic where it's OK if they are earning 150k a week but 500k is obscene and is putting you off football. Both numbers are ridiculous and is beyond the wildest imagination of any regular person so in my view the numbers are just arbitrary. Also, I'm probably in the minority but I'd rather the money went to the players who entertain us every week than to the owners. Sanchez on the other hand is robbing us blind because he's not performing at the level we expected him to perform when we gave him the contract but It was a gamble we made because of how low the fee to get him was considering his contract situation.
Racist.
Jeez haha I didn't even notice Surprised I'm not banned lol. I'll edit it."Niggest"
I completely agree with you btw. Makes no sense to play him on the leftJeez haha I didn't even notice Surprised I'm not banned lol. I'll edit it.
Honestly, I get the feeling we only signed him so City couldn't have him. We already had 3 players who were capable on the left, we were crying out for someone on the right. This signing only made sense if Sanchez was played on the right. Especially when you consider Martial was arguably in the best form of his career in the weeks leading up to this signing.
Rooney was different. He didn't want to go anywhere except Everton at the time and even they managed to offload him to America. Sure Sanchez doesn't have his heart set on returning to Cobreloa after us otherwise we're in massive trouble. Plus, Rooney was still playing well when he signed that contract, Fergie was the only one who saw it coming.Maybe I'm crazy but I'm actually tempted to think this isn't such a bad idea
Would we not? Woodward sanctioned exactly that kind of pants pull-down with Rooney's new contract in 2014!

We were still paying him to play for EvertonWe released Rooney on a free once Everton came in. He didn't want to play for anyone else. Sanchez is a different case. It's not like the only team he'd go to after us is West Brom or something.
It was pretty clear for anyone that had been watching him since he was 16And some caftards too.There was a thread about it and heated discussions.
I use to think this, but when he cant deliver a simple pass and continues to lose the ball due to him overrunning it or not releasing it quick enough it becomes his fault.He's been no where near what I thought we would have but I have some sympathy for him and others as this is not an easy team to play in, especially attacking football. Is there an attacking player that is consistently doing well in this team? I think people would have more of a point if he looked shit in a city team.....
He was starting games for us, keeping Martial out of the team at times and scoring goals.Rashford has never done 'really well' under Jose.

He had started his decline when he was given that contract.Plus, Rooney was still playing well when he signed that contract, Fergie was the only one who saw it coming.
Hence the reason I said we'd have to let Sanchez go at a loss. We're not stuck with him, the same way we're not stuck with Rooney, so lets stop pretending we are.We were still paying him to play for Everton
That's harsh, he was our leading goalscorer that season. He was definitely declining by the season after.He had started his decline when he was given that contract.
If Martial was good enough, we wouldn't have been looking at Sanchez.
It was poor management to start him considering he's been mostly useless for a while. He was awful yesterday.It's a bizzare decision that Jose took him off. He's always capable of a magic moment or two even at his worst, and looks the only capable player to be on Pogba's wavelength and create something together. Very poor management from Jose
I think he will come good. He has shown absolute class in a handful of games. He just needs to find that consistency and we will see the real Sanchez we bought from arsenal.
Just give him a little more time.
Why would I be doing sarcasm? And yes I believe he has been classy in a handful of games since he joined which is certainly not enough. Or do you opine that he needs to score in a game before he gets recognition as having done very well?In 2 from 20 games, maybe. 'Absolute class"' sounds a bit too strong though and I wonder whether you are being sarcastic there.
Took 2 to 3 years to get Rooney off the books so as long as we are not in a hurry.Hence the reason I said we'd have to let Sanchez go at a loss. We're not stuck with him, the same way we're not stuck with Rooney, so lets stop pretending we are.

Yes i agree with you that he's been poor here hence my point about him coming good soon hopefully. All I'm saying is hat he has shown glimpses of his old self in a few matches.It's not only about goals, he isn't very creative either. In terms of goals + assists he is on the same level as Mkhi (if we don't count Mkhi's 6 goals in the EL). Both have contributed goal/assist every 220 min.

His stats are pretty bad, but watching the Wolves video he clearly wasn't the worst player on the pitch. Admittedly, at 30 he should be playing his best football because very soon his star begins to fade. What remains inexplicable is: Why did his form suddenly dip when Man Utd signed him? He was easily Arsenal's best player in his time there and one of the best in the PL. I can understand why some people think it's more to do with Jose's tactics and formation. Ironically, Mikhtaryan actually looks the better player now.
Yeah you're right, we all know that the Sanchez and Rooney situations are 100% the same so lets just hope Sanchez really misses the Liverpudlian council estates and wants to return to his boyhood club of Everton.Took 2 to 3 years to get Rooney off the books so as long as we are not in a hurry.
