The journos do not want us to sign Sanchez
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

Chelsea are trying to get Andy Carroll on loan. I don't think they'll be matching what we're offering.
Zzzzzzzzz.....
This is definitely the vibe I get as well.
One does not simply hijack a hijack.
Hog wash.
Money vs Money now
Well most of those players arn't wingers, and you look at the injury problems Robben and Ribery have had in their 30's i wouldn't want of committed 350k a week to either of them
the only player id say out of that list who plays in a simlar style to Sanchez is Ronaldo, and comparing Sanchez to him is laughable.
Im not saying a player cant still be good post 30, but pretty much every player on the planet loses a yard or two of pace at that age and when your some one who plays out wide that can massively reduce your effectiveness.
So for me signing a player on wages above anything we have ever seen, who is coming up to 30 plays out wide and while has other skills pace is a big part of his game, for me isn't clever.
Chelsea can’t even sign Andy fecking Carroll on loan I don’t think they’ll be signing Sanchez.
When an iconic and global institution like Man Utd come calling and determined to get a player, to be completely truthful there is not much any other club can do about it,the money is just a bonus,Thats the reality!
Griezzmann is a quality player, but ridiculously overrated.
Griezmann isnt though
FFP must apply to City after all then.
You asked for examples of players and I gave them. Robben and Ribery had injury problems their whole careers, that's just a lame excuse on your behalf. If anything Robben didn't peak as a player until he was 30.
Also have you seen Valencia for us? I think that defeats your argument that players lose their pace at 30.
Incidentally what world class wingers in recent times have declined massively once they hit 30?
Old Money vs New Money
Sanchez will be kicking his lips at the chances we are creating tonight.
They're afraid as they should be. ABU's shitting their pants imagining what this team will be capable of with Sanchez.
Hopefully his wage package is based on a lot of bonuses as being linked with United, City and Chelsea could be him playing them against each other to get the highest possible wage, as opposed to actually having a desire to play for a certain team
you could be on to somethng there. But there is sod all evidence the Carroll rumours are true....
They got this transfer horribly wrong. All of them were convinced he was going to City still even after Di Marzio said we had personal terms agreed. In denial over it.
I think for City to have pulled out it must be a done deal. Too late for Chelsea now.
Ouch. Guess he's flexible at least.
Wait, there are people complaining if we pull this off?
Not so much that, they just need to still have some sort of story until this is official.
Would wenger prefer selling him to chelsea though?
It's Alexis Sanchez. Not dirty Sanchez.
Chelsea now, seriously!
He's the most reliable journo when it comes to Chelsea.
Love how the journos bring in Chelsea bid, just as City officially pull out
Chelsea LOL
Would Arsenal fans have a preference for selling to us or Chelsea - if those were their choices?
I think they’d have preferred him at City in all honesty.
I think they’d have preferred him at City in all honesty.
Probably. Just smacks of City PR briefing to save their faces.
Have Chelsea contacted Arsenal indirectly via carrier pigeon then?
Of course, he's 30 you know, old as fe.k.
