They only wanted £35m. It would bring the Woodward video back where he's offering more than the shop wanted.

With citeh (and Liverpool) still in the news stories for him, I can't relax. My default is to always expect the worse with transfers, I can't help it mate.
And I do think that city's loss today will make them want to get him more - even though I got laughed at for saying so earlier!
I've wanted him as our 7 for about 5 years, seriously. If I start believing he's coming, and then he fecks off to a rival, it'll hurt, so for now I'm still in the cynic phase...
But a hopeful cynic.
It's such a stupid logic. Yes man city are playing well at the moment so therefore they will be unstoppable for the next 5 years at least because they will keep. Buying players. fecking ass.Andy Gray speaking sense. George Boateng sounds like an idiot and says it like if there's a gap now, then there's no chance of that changing in the next 5 years. Because things don't change from season to season in football
Chelsea won last year and bought more players and have gone back wards. Only 2 managers have ever retained the epl title, one happens to be our greatest manager of all time and the other is our current manager. Sanchez can bring us to a next level and maybe even surpass city.
Gray also makes an excellent point not even Aguero is guaranteed to start. Sanchez won't either no mate how good he is. Jose will start Sanchez every game and probably never sub him like with Lukaku and pogba.
Gray also makes another excellent point, we are Manchester fecking United not some pub team with a sugar daddy splashing cash. 75k seat stadium with a rich history and Culture and world wide following, compared to city we are the fecking big time.
And to end who wants a free gimmi trophy anyway. Sanchez probably wants one he earned
Don't get me wrong, I'm excited but I feel that the Alexis we get won't be peak Alexis. If he has an RVP impact then great but I think we'll probably get a 'very good' season or 2 out of him at best.
I had to charge my phone three times today just from refreshing this page. Family dinners are boring when more important is going on.
I'm so feckin excited for this signing. When he's fit and firing he's easily top 3 in the league and with him in the team I can see us having a good run in the champions league.
He actually did! Didn't realize. Well, in that case he has proven once again that he has some serious insight on what's happening and we can pretty much treat whatever he says as truth in regards to this transfer saga.
So this is happening?
That's brilliant. If anything happens it will be certainly around 2 AM.
Yeah undoubtedly.
We had better do if that's what it takes to get him.
Sanchez is so good that if we sign him, I'll suddenly start believing that we could actually be in with a tiny chance of winning the Champions League.
Yeah we were responding to someone saying they think we’re offering £30m plus Mkhi. I think it’s unlikeky. That would be over valuing Sanchez considering his contract situation.
It’s probably Sanchez at £30m and we’re offering to sell them Mkhi in a seperate deal at £15-£20m.
Looks like it
Probably not in this case with @oates being a gooner
You bet your UT on it!
Barca reject.
We’ll see I guess! But yea, exciting times if we manage to pull it off
Same here!
Priorities and all that
Serious business this!
My girlfiend doesn't follow football but she knows I support United. I tried to share my excitment today about signing a huge player from a London based club to let her know why I was so excited and stuck to my phone, but she was totally uninterested, non-responsive and started talking about the restaurant we went to when we were in London. Silly of me to even try to explain.
At least you guys know the score
Along with Neymar
Never knew oates was a gooner. Must painful for him today.
You sure? Not that I'm suggesting he should be sued but suggesting that someone has tapped up a player is as good as an accusation. Sure a pretty decent lawyer could make a solid case for that. The power of suggestion is strong after all.
He can't say:
"United tapped him up"
Because that would suggest that he knows it as fact. But saying:
"If someone maybe met someone at someone's house and offered someone more money"
Is as good as an accusation due to the position he holds in the public eye. If you or I say it no one is going to believe us, but if Souness says it, people may believe he's privy to some information that we're not.
It's dangerous water and I guarantee you won't find any other pundits or news outlets suggesting that. It's very silly.
We thinking the reported fee is 25m or more along the lines of 35m?
Either way, it's good business.
I just hope Sanchez picks it up, because I think he's been really poor this season. Hopefully not decline and more him cba'ing it for Arsenal.
Im driving to Paddy Power tomorrow to put 50 euro on Sanchez to join City this month at 2/1. Just in case we dont get him
Yeah I know. I was agreeing with you by adding my own take on it.
No that's not true. Barca are a Neymer reject.
My missus was ugly so I had to let her go, my fetish for Chileans needs to be appeased. Announce Sanchez!
Ah that puts him in the same bracket as Zlatan.
What's the fuss with the 10pm news? Do the papers come out with a bunch of news at 10pm?
The Pogba, Lukaku, Lingard and Sanchez link up is going to be fecking magic.
Aargh sorry bud. Refreshing this thread every few minutes have got me in a spin
Exciting times indeed.
Martial, Lukaku, Sanchez with Lingard and Pogba as supporting cast looks too darn tasty!
Krishnan Guru-Murthy cuts the ribbon for the weeks trading on the NYSE. Obviously we’re not able to make any deals until that’s open.
No chance. Mkhitaryan's been shit, but not so bad that he's suddenly worthless... we're still talking about a recent Bundesliga POTY here.
I reckon £30m and cut-price option of Mkhitaryan if they want it, assuming he'll actually go there...
Feck sake don't let @Penna find out.
Yeah. Just you wait until we offload that sack of spuds Sancho on you and get hold of that Malcolm. He's got pace, he's fast. Swift and a machine.
I know what you mean. I just still have some hope that Mikki could do it for us. We’re all so disappointed because we have seen flashes in the 18 months he’s been here. But that’s the problem, just flashes of his brilliance!
