DT. When Arsenal lose, go to ArsenalFanTV and watch him ranting on their fancams, he is quite funny because he is so, so angry all the time.

Yes, this is pretty amazing. It's like people and media have suddenly decided that Man Utd are a small time, meaningless club and Man City are a wonderful superpower everyone should aim to join.
None of the top players who are currently in their prime grew up admiring City, not even a single one. When those guys were in their youth and starting to follow football properly, or started their career, City were a nothing club who got beaten 8-1 by Middlesbrough a couple of weeks before United won Champions League. It's not weird at all that there are top players who pick United ahead of them, actually it's completely normal for this generation of players to choose United.
Calm down. Go and get some lunch.
Oops did I say that?....
I think Sanchez will come, but I hope that we can get Fred also.
That would be great, I didn't realise he could play there. I'd love to see that line-up.
I don't know why you are trying...all it takes is some made up tabloid nonsense and posters on here will panic.
The british media are obviously out of the loop; and have gone to Man City for briefings. This is why this 'money vs pep' stuff has come out.
Sam Lee, who is one of the best Man City journalists, said that City put up an offer but they were outbid and are not willing to up their offer. This corroborates with Di Marzio. There you have two extremely reliable journalists saying the same thing; which goes against what all the sensationalist media are saying.
Some of you lot really freak out over nothing
If he comes fantastic...if not we cost City a couple more quid
Right now, i'm just pissed that people can be paid to write utter incoherent word vomit.
Maybe it's Mata in the swap...
We will just have to wait and see but in my opinion the hacks are just trying to squeeze last bit of juice out this story more than anything. Don't you notice, this type of shit always happens with transfers. Oh, theres a snag now, or someone else is in. 95% it's complete fabrication. Last time it happened was Thiago I think, when Bayern actually did come in and only cause Giggsy said Thiago wasn't in a mould of United player to Moyes.
I understand your logic but I myself and probably many more are more romantic towards football. If I was a neutral in the same situation I would allways pick United, if you can't understand why then I feel pity for you.
Thing is, I always think they should be nominal starting positions.
Think back to the 06-08 teams that Fergie built - the fluidity and rotation in the front area was fantastic, albeit we were more stilted in big games.
We need a bit of news in this. It's all pandering and bullshit today.
Is there a point to this sad story?
The narrative the media and guys like you are peddling is total trash.
We're by far the biggest club in the country, we have one of the most decorated managers of all time, we are spending huge amounts of money to get back to the top, we're in the Champions League last 16 with a favourable draw - City may be ahead of us in the table but it's not exactly Sunderland Sanchez would be joining for feck sake.
That's not the point. Many things are possible but you can know the truth by looking at the way the article is written and who it is written by.
If an article puts a footnote at the end that according to sources the opposite is happening. That means they are covering themselves because they know that they are taking 'creative freedom' with the article.
Arsenal fans have good reason to be angry: they are being shafted by their board. I don't mind that DT guy, but Claude and the older guy Lee, the bald guy, are my favourites. That club has broken poor old Claude.
You guys need to chill. Two days ago we had no chance of getting him, now we do. It doesn't sound like anything is imminent.
it's 9:17 pm
Haha might be a long night for you.
Seriously now, you should really be asking yourself a question. Why are you a manchester united fan? Following that logic, you should be a manchester city fan since they are winning everything also.
If you want to talk about this subject purely from its materialistic POV, by joining Manchester United, AS is getting exposure to the millions and millions of its fan base around the globe.
Furthermore, where is the glory in going to city and just being handed the title without any effort? in united, AS should work his ars of to get it and the satisfaction he'll get from this will be unparalelled.
Anyway, i think this is too serious for this thread now
Carry on trolling as you were.Ignore Ogden, Stone et al. Do yourselves a favour and wait for Di Marzio to update. You'll be all the better for it.
What?!! That's not Donald Trump!
I don't know. @izec said that he's getting a lot of abuse on twitter. I didn't even know Mkhitaryan had twitter. I went to his page there and I see nothing. I'm not going to sit and vent at him for not going to Arsenal. The cnut won't read any of my tweets anyway.
Also, I don't think he'd turn down a move to Arsenal. Wenger wanted him badly when we signed him. He'd instantly be better playing their style of football and there would be less pressure. And as for the wages, I mean, he'll definitely be moved on in the summer, but where will he go who will offer him better wages than Arsenal? China, Russia, Turkey maybe? Would pick any of those destinations over Arsenal. He doesn't have many options so that's why I don't believe he wouldn't move to Arsenal. Sure, he might not want to but I'm sure he'll quickly come round to it when he realises what alternatives are.
I just said it as quip, and yeah I don't particularly like Mkhitaryan because he's a coward on the pitch. Couldn't wait to come off against Chelsea etc. I don't want him at United at all but I wouldn't go on twitter and abuse him for it. It's so stupid for so many reasons.
There are always some idiots on social media, so i imagine there might be a few who would write some shit. You cant see it on his page if you write him a message
Hong Kong?it's 9:17 pm
They have said that they won't sell without a replacement. I don't think that Mkhitaryan is their first choice. I think that they are trying to sign Malcom but until that's done they won't let him go. We have to sit and wait.
This is only my take on what I've read.
For all we know he could be signed and they're waiting for they match tonight to announce him.
The announcer saying Ladies and gentlemen give a warm Manchester welcome to our new number 7 Alexis Sanchez.
The place would go wild.
I don't think that's the case but it would be brilliant.
No, I agree with you. I dont mind him either, I can see where he is coming from and why he is so pissed off. As a United fan, and as someone who grew up with a particular dislike of Arsenal, there is a healthy dose of schadenfreude for me, I do enjoy his anger. But yes, he has reason to be angry.
If he does sign and it's a big if still will his first Deezer playlist mainly consist of songs by the Red Hot Chile Peppers?
Muppets go crazy when there isn't a tweet every 5 mins. I mean it could all be sorted for all we know. We know United don't like letting anything slip these days after the shit show of us chasing Fabregas and co publicly.
It’s really just £35m and we clear some deadwood who’s taking up wages. We’d have to give him away at the end of he season anyway, or worse, loan him out till his deal is up.
Blinkered idiot. I know many a football fan who don’t even support a PL team and they would choose many a club before United. Not every one is drawn to history, unfortunately.
I think we need to prepare ourselves for the worst here - something isn't adding up, i.e. Mhiki in match squad, City sounding like they are back in, if it was just a fee with Arsenal, surely this would have been announced.
This thread needs some extravagant ITK’s to appear to make this interesting until it’s sorted one way or the other. Possibly the bloke who orders the letters for the shirts in the megastores Bulgarian uncle who has it on good information that they have recently order extra stock o S A N C H E and Z’s....
Why do you think United have Chilean winemaker Casillero del Diablo as a sponsor?
We like to play the long game.
Fair enough. It's obviously stupid for people to do that. In hindsight I probably shouldn't have said and caused an agro.
I genuinely find it quite sad. I hated Arsenal back in the day but always respected Wenger and the club for how they built their success.
Now it's just embarrassing what's happening. Imagine if Pogba, Martial and De Gea were to move to City or Liverpool in the coming years. That's the shit they're having to deal with - It's disgraceful how they've consistently allowed this to happen.
Why would anyone abuse their own players on twitter? While I'll admit he hasn't had the best of times here he's still a human FFS.I don't know. @izec said that he's getting a lot of abuse on twitter. I didn't even know Mkhitaryan had twitter. I went to his page there and I see nothing. I'm not going to sit and vent at him for not going to Arsenal. The cnut won't read any of my tweets anyway.

There was a new Di Marzio update?
