Would love him here and the best is, that he is allowed to play in the cl for us.
Imagine City matching our offer - that'd give plenty of journalists something to think about.
If it's Martial for Sanchez then we should forget it. I doubt it is, but if that's true we'd be bonkers to do this deal.
If City end up out bidding us, the mess of the narrative for the journos would be entertaining to see. Money vs money.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with good, healthy pessimism.We have a tier 1 or 2 City journo basically confirming everything is pointing to MUFC and yet people still want to believe city are about to steal him back
"Oh FFS, how are we supposed to spin this now?"
I would love us to sign Sanchez but not for 30million plus Martial.We might get 3 years best out of Sanchez.With Martial we could very well get another 10 years out of him and in my opinion he is only getting better.
"on the brink of pulling out" 
That's great
Good healthy pessimism in this case is a reliable journo saying City aren't out and people saying "well we have to be careful, Journo X said city are still in the race"
Every reliable journo is saying the opposite or quickly moving away from City interest.
There’s momentum, and then there’s acting like Real Madrid would do well sign an Athletico target because they’re currently 10 points behind them in the table.
Our 4 years of post Fergie crisis have literally been more successful than either Liverpool or Arsenal’s last decade. This is exactly the kind of daft exaggeration I’m talking about. We’ve been out of the title race for little over a month and all of a sudden we’re a spent force in global football compared to the might and power of Manchester fecking City. What on Earth is happening?

The longer this drags on, the more I think we will get fecked over.
Wenger himself said Sanchez was on standby yesterday, and could have left at any moment - what's the hold up?

"Pep the heroic and glorious Man City fold and at great cost give into Arse's outrageous demands to save poor Sanchez from desperate Man Utd nightmare! #footballmartyrs"
The vinegar strokes"on the brink of pulling out"
This guy knows nothing.
Relax people, happens every single transfer we're involved in, every journalist who wasn't involved in the transfer saga tries to get a few clicks in before the deal is completed. The amount of times over just the last few seasons this has happened should tell you that, Pogba springs to mind as does Lukaku.
We all know they'd say "Well, if you want top quality players you have to pay that little bit more." The narrative in this transfer has been so anti-United from the beginning; now I just want us to sign him to piss on everyone's chips.
Only way they would get Martial is including 40-50mil as well as Sanchez they could throw in Bellerin as well but even then I’d probably still rather keep Martial.
Just a nonsense add on for clicks really, surely the board wouldn’t be stupid enough and if we had offered Martial this deal would already have been done as Wenger would snap a hand off to get Martial in any deal.

It could be announced any minute. Who knows whats going on behind the scenes. Think if City we're still in the race and upped their offer we'd be fecking swimming in an ocean media spunk right now. So for there is some nomark saying the deal is not dead.
This. Bet this saga has been the most read article since Lukaku in the summer.

Happened with Lukaku too. Remember Chelsea going back in to match our offer...
He's not bad for City. Not quite as reliable as Lee, Blackburn, Mullock, but not far off.
He's been right on a few things recently and I wouldn't dismiss it as complete nonsense, but obviously take with a pinch of salt given the massive weighting in United's favour right now.
In a way it would be funny if City matched our offer but Sanchez still chose us.
We need an update from Di Marzigod.
It would still go "Mourinho outPep'd - Sanchez chooses Guardiola as Jose suffers blow despite offering HUGE money"
Has there been anything concrete with regards to a bid being made by either us or City?
Am I right I’m thinking that as things stand, we’ve had our offer accepted and City have not yet made a bid?
Seems strange that we are not hearing anything about medicals etc, if Sanchez has made his mind up to join us.
I’m praying for us to pull this off, he reminds me of Tevez in certain ways. I think the OT faithful will bring the best out of him without a doubt.

I think some people almost like the idea of City getting him ahead of us so they have something to moan about, clinging onto any bit of negative news and trying to make it seem as if it's huge.
£350,000 a week?
That's ridiculous. I reckon he'll follow the money

Go make yourself a glass of warm milk and take some time out. These things take time - especially considering it appears to be more than just one player involved in the deal. Wenger doesn't want to sell Sanchez without a replacement and is currently negotiating with Bordeaux for Malcolm. Then you have Mkhitaryan as an option for Wenger. There's a lot of parties involved so it's going to take a little time to sort it out.
Sanchez himself probably doesn't know which club he'll be playing his football for from February onwards.
City back in eh? Obvious!
I’m not sure how to put this without coming across as a complete WUM.
Here goes.....
I do genuinely have a very good buddy (yes that old chestnut) that is upon the hierarchy at Man City Ladies/women.
City have in fact upped there offer BUT it’s not as much as uniteds.
Sorry guys, call me a WUM but this is true and I cannot tell you who he is.....but within women’s football he’s well known.

So indykaila said City to improve their offer, that's my cock back in
Oh piss off person from the internet.
OK, no problem, give us Sanchez+30m for martial so you can develop him into a world-class player and send back to us for free, deal?
