I’d definitely not play him against lower league hacks. Leave him for later stages. Then again, he does need to bed into the squad.

Sanchez is a very good player but I am sick and tired of signing players older than 25. Sign for the future. Build it up like Sir Matt and Sir Alex. Learn how to get success from the past and sign Pulisic, Dybala and a Robson/Keane midfielder. Get Tuanzebe in the team and bring back TFM. LUHG
487 pages in this and the only truth or substance in the whole thread was contained in the tweets from Mr. Di Marzio and his colleagues. Plenty of good banter but not one other journalist emerges with any credit.
Sanchezter Day is beckoning.
it's all done, Mkhi has agreed with arsenal and Raiola has briefed Di Marzio. I would imagine both players will be announced tonight, early tomorrow morning at the very latest.
My friends, john cross and the daily mail had similar info last night/early morning.
Feck that get him straight in. 6-0 Sanchez double hat trick incoming.
We've tons of young talent, we're dying for a bit of experience and knowhow. Zlatan was good, but Sanchez is perfect.
But our front line consists of players all under 25 bar one who is exactly 25. Rashford, Martial, Lukaku, lingard. Mata starts every now and then when Mourinho is in a good mood.
We need experience and quality now up front. Not another youngster.
If we want to win things now, we need to be signing the finished article.
Mkhitaryan was very definitely in Mourinho's plans when he came to the club. He just didn't deliver what was expected from him.
Lukaku, Martial, Pogba and Rashford are all young players with potential to be world class. Sometimes adding a player like Sanchez, who is at his peak and is world class is a sensible thing to do. He completes our attack imo.
If medical goes well then there will be an announcement tonight.
Generally I agree. But for our specific situation right now I feel we have a good number of young players. Actually what the squad needs right now is experience and quality, especially after the loss of Zlatan. This will aid the development of the younger lads.
This is brilliant, watched it three times now and it just gets better with each watch!
What exactly could the final details be? Signatures? Hugs? Playing one last time?
That's so good
Lindelof, Lukaku, Bailly, Pogba?
BT will be spitting that BBC have the F.A. Cup at Yeovil and it might be his debut. Well to BT.
to BT.1). The finances were just released, we are in excellent shape.
2). Jose dies not negotiate the deals, Ed does.
I just put him in my FF team before the rush
Di Marzio the saviour
I would imagine, given the shite that has come from the blues, announcing him at 6PM in the middle of their game tonight would be a nice move.
Only if we win first.
Isn't that how "swaps" usually work though? Each club "buys" the other player, only cash that actually changes hands is any difference in valuation?
A lot of excitement for it to happen, mate. We're looking forward to seeing Alexis wearing #7 on his back on such a legendary club.
We aren't a nation that produces lots of great players (although a couple of our young players have had a brief stay at the Theater of Dreams–Dante Poli, CB, retired, and Angelo Henriquez (ST); we hadn't had a major player ever since the likes of Marcelo "matador" Salas and Iván Zamorano, though. We're all pretty much aware of the huge difference between City and United and, therefore, are really happy he's joining the red side of the force.
Agreed rugby seems the best Balance
Finally we can suggest swap deals without being ridiculed on RedCafe. FM muppets embrace!
Di Marzio > Pornstein
It will be closed very soon.
It will be closed very soon.
We have another FM expert here. Someone who believes you can sign a load of kids with 190-200 potential and dominate for a decade.
Ferguson won trophies with loads of players over 25 btw.
That's one hell of a sacrifice to get the transfer over the line, respect Jose..
Papers should make good reading tomorrow with our new number 7 then
Depends on the transfer. For stuff involving Raiola, Di Marzio has the edge and updates more frequently.
Well, doesn't surprise me. They were selling Jose Mourinho scarves 6 months before Van Gaal's sacking.
As soon as he got the boot from Chelsea, right?
