Holy feck it's on! 
If we snatch both Özil and Sanchez this window... I'll never zip my pants again.

But our offering of Mkhi is irrelevant if Sanchez wants to go to City. Arsenal can't determine his destination.
If there is any truth in the story, then one would assume there is a credible chance that Sanchez would be willing to join United - otherwise it's a futile exercise.
I'd be pleased with this but I can't see him going anywhere but City. I suspect there is already an agreement in place.
It's a trick lol. Alexis' agent is trying to make City close the deal now that's why we're all of a sudden interested in Alexis.
If anything, I'd rather we try to get Ozil than Alexis.

Please, let it be so!
Wasn't Sanchez a United supporter?
I don't want him. He loves playing from the left so will just be taking more playing time from Martial.
He surely is. And he isn't very fond of Pep as he sold him to Arsenal against his will. Sanchez and Shaw will terrify every right back in the Prem.
This will be his third time being a United supporter.
Buy Sanchez and play him out of position?
Thought so not that it makes a difference sadly.
We'd surely play him on the right. In a fluid front three, starting positions aren't as important anyway.

I agree he wants some mega money to sign, but it depends how much he wants to win the title. Obviously, it's likely that City would get another one if he signs a 3- or 4-year contract, but if he signs in January he's basically signing for a medal on top of his mountains of money. I think even if we offer him over £2million extra per year in wages, he would still go to City, for example. If City are willing to pay him in excess of £200k per week, I don't think there is much we can do as £300k a week would already be pretty silly and probably around the maximum we'd go to anyway.
Interesting how Pep sold him being a manager of Bayern
Would love him - but surely he would choose City. Play for one of the best teams in Europe right now (and a great attacking setup) and Pep or us where he won't get as much freedom. I know which I'd choose right now (if I was a neutral player )
)Cue tomorrows back page in the Sun, Sanchez holding up a City shirt, Sanchez rejects Utd for City........etc
*taps nose*
I like him as a player, he's got great quality. But he's off to City, isn't he? At least that has been the story for months. He'd surely find it much easier to get games here though, we can certainly match City's package I think, although there were those stories that Jose would have to sell before buying, Sanchez would be on a big contract wherever he goes. But at the minute City look much more attractive to move to.
Players who play on that right wing forward have freedom to roam infield. See Mata/Lingard/Mkhi. No one plays as a hug the line winger.
Robin van Persie’s decision wasn’t to sign for the better side, it was to sign for the bigger club. City had just won the league.
Perhaps City are now a bigger club than us because they have Pep Guardiola or something.
Someone just wants City to pay up the required cash. Nothing story...
He won't accept a transfer here. He's turned us down twice already according to reports.
Eww hope you cleaned up with a tissue.
Sanchez was a City supporter as a kid. His influences include Kit Symons and Keith Curle.
And isn't that part of our problem? Anyway even if he comes off the right hand side he still has a starting position that's completely the wrong side of the pitch
Absolute rubbish
Tbh I've never been a massive fan despite even watching him live. He is athletic and quite explosive, and tenacious, but I dont think his skills are mindblowing. But for 25m its a great deal in this market and hopefully helps out the right side. I would have prefered Ozil but if he isnt available then so be it.
Lets see what happens.

Arsenal are obviously not making this up to tempt City, that would be ridiculous, and would just require one statement from us to dispel, making Arsenal look even weaker and more desperate at the same time.
*grabs pop-corn*
*remembers our strikers scored a combined 11 league goals and someone like alexis would be water in the desert right now*
Aaaand i've made myself sad and depressed

Exactly.
Pay whatever they want.
Has this been reported by anyone else aside from a guy working for Sky Sports Italy and Jamie Jackson?
I won't believe anything until its official. Remember how close we were signing Hazard, Pedro and Morata. What happened then? None of them arrived.
Well if it’s NOT true we will definitely go public and deny it soon, so let’s wait and see.
Maybe he would play in an interchanging front 3 with Lukaku and Martial. Sanchez isn't really a wide player, he is much better in between the lines.
Same as everything else
This is a signing that would take our attack to the next level more so than Moura.
