Can't wait for Alexis introduction with the 7th shirt and his first interview with MUTV. Just little more.. 
Alexis.
Slow and steady at the back
What an incredible deal for us.
What an absolute mess Arsenal have made out of this deal, They don't get a fee for Sanchez and they got Mkhitaryan in return.
Yeah, it almost got to the point it would be shameful to get Ozil in the summer.
Nah, feck it, it's a fire sale. We're not to blame here.
If there is no cash involved, we've seriously played a blinder here.
Why is everyone so baffled it's a straight swap? Sanchez is out of contract in 5 months and Mkhi has 2 and a half years. It's not rocket science.
If I were you, I'd ask for a leeds tag too. In for a penny, in for a pound at this point
Looking forward to Neil Ashton twisting 'No money involved' into 'Journalists on both sides are unable to even calculate the enormity of the fee swapping hands in this disgustingly extravagant exchange of wealth' in his Sunday Supplement morality sermon tomorrow.
This ones done, need a CM now
Mkhi hasn't set the world alight at Man Utd, not many goals or assists. He's also 29, if he flops for us it will be impossible to sell him.
Moreover a team with Ozil, Mkhi, Lacazette, Ramsey and Iwobi will suffer defensively. Especially one like Arsenal. I would have rather lost Sanchez for nothing to be honest. At least then the club could have saved face and said that it was his choice to go to Old Trafford. Now, we're giving you our best player and potentially weakening ourselves in return.
Madness.
Sold them Silvestre, Welbeck and Mikhi, and got RVP and Sanchez.
The word "ridiculous" can't even describe this.

I've seen them a few times. Mainly on kids who get to a match once in a while and want a keepsake.
Leftback makes a good point - there is a lot more to this deal we may never know so to assume that this swap is an amazingly cheap way to get him is probably false.
It's like us making a straight swap De Gea for Cech. So when some have the urge to complain about our transfer dealings, think again...
Wenger is an expert in failure.
For a combined total of £24 million
Simon Stone has pretty much lost all the credibility he had before with that video of him going giddy over "180 million" cost.
That I understand.
Gloria in Alexis Deo.
Yeah but Mkhi hasn't been very good whereas Alexis is an elite player.
That's true, but when you just look at the players, it's an amazing deal. Jose froze Mhki and would almost certainly try to sell him in the summer. Also, we would most likely get less than what we paid for him.
Haven't we already been doing that for yearsThat's a robbery.
Can we just laugh at Arsenal ?
I just cannot believe we're signing Alexis fecking Sanchez
Similar feeling to when we got Pogback

I hope your work doesn’t involve maths. Sanchez’s transfer isn’t free, we’ve given them a player who has value on the market.
But ballague and the rest of the sports press said we’re paying Alexis ‘Mercenary’ Sanchez £800,000 per week over 4 years and it’s costing us 500 billion pounds and it’s an absolute disgrace to the sport.
And after all that, also ignoring the fact that no player in history has ever moved for as much as the equivalent of 25m with just 5 months left on his contract.
Bet Balague has completely lost his mind at this point. Beautiful stuff.
Jesus wept. Mkhi’s worth £0, according to this genius.
There's obvious logic, but at the same time, one player is still far superior to another.
If it was cash plus mkhi, no one would be baffled by it, despite the different lengths in contracts.
You’re the Peter Molyneux of football forums.
Oh, for crying out loud, can I have different name, please, pretty please, Alexis will sign, you have to be in a good mood! maybe..
