Talk of medical has begun.
For the love of god, can any other journo please get out of fecking bed and confirm this?
Why has John Cross/Mirror got this story and no one else?
Morning lions.. Ready for another Sanchez kind of day?
For the love of god, can any other journo please get out of fecking bed and confirm this?
Why has John Cross/Mirror got this story and no one else?
Because John Cross is usually in bed with Arsene
Mail and Mirror both have this story. I am going to look at other newspapers now.For the love of god, can any other journo please get out of fecking bed and confirm this?

Barkley? Is the missus a Chelsea fan?
Ah fair enough then. There goes that line of reasoning.
It's as good as a done deal no? With both players unhappy at their respective clubs it seems like good business for both parties.
I have to say though, i am curious on how Miki is going to do at Arsenal.

Breakthrough? Did Raiola throw another set of chairs so Arsenal accepted Mhikis demands?
Yes, as SKY and Ornstein hinted last night, it's Raiola trying to get money that is slowing it down.
Na, I always sign Sanchez and Ozil on a free in FIFA, I feel like I’m an expert now from all the interactive transfers I have completed. I would have got Sanchez across the line in a two minute chat on 180k a week. Woodward should feel ashamed
No wonder people are complaining about the pay packet when deals like that are being pulled out
You probably got 30m for Mkyi ontop aswell to make it worse for the caf!
I fell asleep, how has nothing happened? You'd think everyone was in bed or something.
we are waiting for confirmation that Sanchez left the arsenal hotel last night and has withdrawn from the squad.
Damn Lazy Journalists, not getting off their bed on a Saturday. Announchez and then sleep as long as you like.
This is the only source (John cross) claiming both of them are heading to their destinations. Looks like Raiola has fecked up the swap and now the deal will be two deals.
Imagine if Mirror Sport had their own TV channel
12:03 - Breaking news: Sanchez spotted in a Manchester Fish and Chip shop
12:37 - Breaking news: Sanchez in Dubai with someone who looks like he could be related to Ray Parlour.
13:16 - Breaking news: Sanchez in Blackburn picking out mattresses
All the while their cameras are just following random South Americans.

It feels like what happens when someone goes against the grain in the Scientology community whereby someone breaks rank and dares to do something or say something not approved of so what follows is a character assassination them. Anyone doubts how massive the collective erection it is that Pep gives the top football writers in the press is, then this dispels all of those doubts.
At least we're getting some progressive news, I'm a bit worried how its only a couple of journos running the story though, surely if he was on his way for a medical every journo in the UK would be aware its the biggest sporting story of the year so far.
What's the difference between a straight swap and 'We'll pay you £35m, you pay us £35m"?
The difference is now they can add another 35m to the 180m. Creative math
2+2 = 4 - 1 .....ALEX SANCHEZ HAS RUINED FOOTBALL BECAUSE HE JOINED ANOTHER TEAM OTHER THAN CITY........quick maffs.
Legally, probably quite significant... I’m guessing but can see it being the case.
The Sanchez part is ready, so will go ahead immediately. The Mikhitaryan part is an ongoing negotiation, so can happen at its own pace
Two separate contracts instead of one I guess. Probably easier for Tax purposes as well.
And also.
This
It’s probably easier for the clubs to process than one deal.
I heard Sanchez was part of the squad to face Palace? So is he not with the team?
EDIT: Just read the entire Mirror article. Seems like he left them, fine.
I'm still waiting for the cost of the team bus to be factored in. That thing must be pimped out so as to be worth at least £500k. 38 league games a season, at least two cup matches, that's £20m minimum you could add to the figure right there.
Not only that. Mostly gives arsenal a lot more leverage over mino. If they decide to walk, henrikh will face staying back at a club that won't play him and then no one willing to pay him wages at any other club. So he will need to decide whether he wants to keep cashing his pay cheque or become a regular
What others have mentioned and also clauses like "% of profit" etc. need to be payed out in case United or Arsenal have those while buying Sanchez and Mkhitaryan.
I guess some of the player payments are also a percentage of the sale value and a straight-swap deal doesn't determine the actual currency value of the asset as it is just an exchange. Probably why it is legally and financial reporting wise easier to split it.
What’s the reaction in Chile like? Very pro him joining United?
I think it comes down to what many like to call “creative accounting”. Basically, a player comes onto the club’s books (ie assets) at the value they’re bought for. I think by each club paying the amount instead of a straight swap, it gives both clubs the ability to increase their asset value. Also, it may allow the associated amortisation costs of the players to be offset for tax purposes (although I’m not entirely sure what is deductible for tax purposes for a football club).
You are missing the main point though. It would still have million of viewers and that’s their only aim unfortunately. Look how distorted the news at ten has become.
So is he on a plane? Flight tracker!
Haha I showed my wife this this morning and she replied that’s why we haven’t spoken for a week then! Priorities
Rumour has it Mkhitaryan cried because when presented with his personalised farewell cake, he realised none of his team mates had bothered to learn how to spell his fecking name.
