RvP was always fecked with injuries though. Sanchez is really fit and has never had serious injuries.
He's also not really reliant on pace at all. Moreso his power and low center of gravity.

Thats a pretty bad post to be honest.
I've had this weird feeling all season that we'll get really deep into the Champions League knockouts; I'm thinking semis. Sanchez would give us that edge for sure.
Must admit, I don't get that if City were willing to pay £60M last summer, why they seem unwilling to pay just over half of that now. If they really wanted him why wouldn't they just pay it. Only possible explanation is if they are getting him for nothing in the summer, or another target is now more appealing.
Still think he will go to City. Havent seen anything to convince me otherwise. Please give me hope caf
Came straight from Wenger so it is imminent.
Could be heading to City after all.
Sorry, I disagree. Players like Sanchez is exactly what United need to compete for the league, which I believe they will do next season.
If you’ve read everything that’s been written and still don’t see anything in it at this point then nothing will.
Fair enough mate.
Don't think pool match matters, don't think it's even a case of agency fees, think it's whether or not they could get a replacement (Malcom).
We would not have won the league that season without RVP. Sometimes all it takes is a single player to get the best out of the rest of em.
I think AS7 Can be that one.
See the thing you're ignoring is that he would also be a huge help to martial and rashfords development. Young players always struggle for consistency when everyone relies on them to produce. U21 players being seen as the main men usually isnt a good sign. Signing someone like sanchez who can carry the burden and leave martial/rashford to develop as part of the supporting cast is the best possible scenario as less attention gets placed on them in game, meaning they have more space to play and grow as players. Then in 3 years or so after Sanchez declines, they will hopefully be good enough to take over the mantle of being the main men. If not, then they probably just aren't good enough anyway.
no it's just the common sense tells you players pretty much all start to slow down around the age sanchez is, so buying a player like him on what will be insane wages is not a very good bet long term.
And they haven't done anything to say they deserve to start and carry the club. We can get a ten in the summer. This squad as is or even next year as is, isn't getting us a PL or CL title. United have to continue to acquire more world class players for that to happen. I love Martial, I love Rashford, but they aren't there right now.
Common sense would tell you that IF he was reliant on pace but he is not.
He has so much more to his game that when he slows down he will still be able to dominate games bewcause of his technical ability, strength and scoring ability.
thats always such a nonsene idea...... players get better with good coaching and game time not sitting on the bench.
There's absolutely zero chance this is sorted in 2 days if the outcome is a City deal. They've shown no interest at all in bidding what Arsenal want, or paying what the agent wants. There's still weeks of discussions there if the intent is to haggle the fee
Or its just not wengers place to announce deals.
48 hours? Fecking hell, just came back with a pack of beers full armed and ready.
Well, it won't be the first time to drink for 48 hours I guess.

I'd be disappointed with going out this round. Thr next would depend on our draw but if we can sign him that will help us for sure.
Can’t see why he would want to join us. Our style of football seems so restrictive for him compared to Pep’s. Then throw in the guaranteed title this season. Play time might be a factor I guess but I can’t see it happening. Not sure he would be a success here either because of how slow and static we tend to be.
thats yet to be proven, some players manage to do that others don't, some players you take their pace away and they dade, other take it in their stride and other take a season or 2 to adapt.
This isnt some longer term buy of a player with potential. This is for instant success i.e. over the next 18 months or so.
Means, standby between City and Utd. Sounds like it can still go either way
Depends though. Length of the contract we offer. Wages. Transfer fee.
In this case, surely the transfer fee “saving” due to his contract length, of signing a player of his ability in the current market justifies the signing quite a bit?
And with it yet to be seen then your opinion is just as valid as mine.
I personally think he will be fine post pace, but even if we only get 3 years out of him for £30m then it is a steal.
They get that good coaching from the worlds best players in their position giving them a helping hand, watching their game, working with them in training, not from Barry the coach who tells them to run sprints.
Just to scare everyone a bit more.. our price on sky bet has gone up and City’s has gotten shorter.
And you support utd?
You are the nervous type arent you?
What makes you think that?
Thats to be expected as they're excellent price now.
So I take it you've been sleeping under a rock all day?
What’s wrong with what I said? Am I not allowed to state my opinion? While I would love to have him here I can’t see it happening. Also it is not true that Pep’s system would suit him better? Is it not true that City are far more fluid than we are?
C'mon Sanchez, do a RvP esque, let's release that child inside you.
