That's the most hilarious part for me, that City are being portrayed to have taken the moral high ground, after a decade of flashing the most money in football at players to convince them to sign. The pathetic media can feck off tbh.

No issues, it's all about timing with big transfers. Sponsors especially adidas will want their pound of flesh too.
More than likely
Haha I had to go back and look at that, I didn't notice those pictures before
Here’s me and DDG in the tunnel the day I signed. Great lad.
Here’s me 100 yards away getting a sausage roll from Greggs. You can just see my head behind the lassie in the City shellsuit.
Highest paid club manager in the world, too.
It's our new Sponsorship Deal with JJ Abrams as our official film director...
We listened to his calls and there was definitely a verbal agreement.Fecking the sun talking about morals
I'm sure if City offered more they'd have got him in the summer.
I'm also not sure tapping up is really a thing but if at any point it would have been since the summer where they tried to incentivse Sanchez to screw Arsenal.
Nobody seriously thinks he's going to play against Burnley, surely?
Of course not he'll be too busy joining the Nazis, stealing from old grannies and killing puppies.
We've signed a monster
I think there's something at Mkhitaryan end which is holding this deal up, probably Raiola trying to get a bigger wage packet from Arsenal. Bit skeptical about an announcement today tbh.
How quick are you two! @Maradona10 @VanGaalEra

The deal might be done and registered by now. Just waiting for the presser to announce it? Unlikely I know but stranger things have happened.
FFS, this is as certain as it can get.
Lol at the desk at work and was going through twitter and this thread is always open in another window.
Couldn’t we have already wrapped it up in the last 24 hours and are just waiting to announce it?
Have we seen the last ever Soviet born player appearing for United?
Highest paid club manager in the world, too.
Exactly! It's as if he would be going to play for City for tuppence
Media has gone crazy. It seems we don't have a right to get any player City want to. Oh and Sanchez is a turncoat.
How?
How?
Noonchezter United ?
When Sigurdsson costs £45M and Sanchez is available for a drop worthy Mikhi
Highest paid club manager in the world, too.
Wait, what........so Pep chose money over Pep?!......?!?!
The amount of scouse loving bastards
Fecking everywhere.
Fecking everywhere.
Him and Pep became Blood brothers in the summer, they even made friendship bracelets for each other.
You CAN'T go back on a friendship bracelet
Maybe the deal is finalized and they are already registered, but for some reason they're still waiting with announcement(s).
Well, at least I'm hoping so.
Well, at least I'm hoping so.
If JJ Abrams is involved it will involve a "reboot" of a previously successful franchise following the exact same plot...
So I'll go for a re-run of 1995/96 when we won the league from being 12 points behind a Newcastle side that was the media darling of the day.
It could'nt happen!
..........Could it?
Thought we peaked yesterday. But then you get this
Neil Ashton is a right prat, isn't he the one who hosts Sunday Supplement? He's such a smug git. Supports Crystal Palace too I think so doesn't need a reason to stick the boot into United.
It's pure sensationalist journalism that's just trying to get people frothing at the mouth. Let's not lower ourselves to the level of the Sun's average readership.
Five whole days?
Does it really matter if he’s available for Burnley or not? We should have enough. The game isn’t even on TV is it? Maybe Sky want to show his debut..
A fair few of them, Neil Ashton included, have been made to look like complete idiots after saying this deal could/would never happen:

Ashton is just embarrassed, as well he should be.
Are you suggesting that the deal is being delayed because sky want to show his debut?
Ok just to pass the time and play devils advocate, why do you guys think Alexis rejected city?
Do you guys really think it's because he wanted to play for us over them? Of course Money has a big part to play!
In my opinion, when United came in he thought "ok this is interesting... I would not mind playing for UTD!". Then it came down to money. At best, Money was the tie breaker between us and city. He didn't choose us because we're Manchester United and are a bigger club than City. Let's be honest.
The media is clearly oversimplifying it to push their agenda that Sanchez is only going to UTD for the money. Which is incredibly disrespectful to our history, prestige and brand. It's not like he's going China! But some of you here are suggesting that as soon as he heard of our interest, he told city to feck off because United is the only place he wants to go!
City got their panties in a punch when they realised Alexis would have no problem to play for us. So refused to up their offer
