Nah we already own those guys.

Not forgetting the fact they wouldn't be transfers.....
Sad but true unfortunately. Dare I said it, who could we really get other than Gareth Bale, and he'd probably cost twice as much as Sanchez. I guess it would explain why defenders have such problems against left footed players, because they're not used to playing against them nowadays.
Hopefully the scouts will grab a left footed winger version of Hernandez for 7m
:d
^ He also said they'd sell him to the club who offers them the most money.
That rules us out then.

But he has said he is willing to play for us. I ve not read an article where he said he is down to play for Chelsea.
I'm sure he'd be willing to play for a lot of clubs. But to choose one and not be open to joining another is something completely different.
There is absoutely no way we are going to win an open bidding war with any of the top guns or City. If it comes to that, we will probably resign before it even begins like we did with Essien. Unless a player desperately wants to join us and no one else, like Berbatov did, we would have to keep things very quiet to have any chance of acquiring him. In Sanchez's case it might be tough seeing as he is recognized as a top talent by pretty much everyone in football and Udinese would probably offer him to clubs anyway.
It's not going to be us is it
At £30m I seriously doubt it.

Well 30-35 million so you can guess.
Chelsea have their forwards and dont like wingers.
City have Dzeko, Tevez, Silva, Milner, Balotelli and Johnson for 4 spots. More likely them
I guess it could possibly be us given that we've watched him a long time and perhaps like with Nani, Anderson, Hernandez, Smalling and so on, other clubs attentions have forced our hand to move for him before they do? I mean if you're planning a move for a player and then he scores 4 goals in 1 game in Serie A, you're going to want to act arent you?

It amuses me how transparent Udine are about wanting a big fee in the summer. I'm sure they'll get it too, probably not from us but we do have the money.
Bit of a shame we didn't try a bit harder to get him after Ronaldo went, I think. Not that I have any problem with Valencia.

I can only dream, but I hope it's us.
Is he the real deal?
Don't want to be a Debbie Downer or anything, but what would be the point of buying this chap?
Surely our money would be better spent improving an area where we're relatively weak- like central midfield?

Have you never watched him play?
He's become more prominant this season playing as a number 10 behind the forward so it is not correct to consider him a winger. He's basically an attacking midfielder who is comfortable left, right or centre.
In a 3 man midfield he could quit easily be the point ahead of 2 holding players.
When Giggs retires that leaves us with 3 wingers. (Well add Obertan to that list if he is going to become one. But we don't know what position he is going to play neither if he is going to make it) We could do with him.
Not to forget that he can be used as a second striker or in the mid too I think.
In world cup and he was excellent, but I've not seen him in Serie A too much since then.
I highly doubt anyone would bid 30 million for him right now. The timing makes no sense.
Its simply a chairman looking to drive up the value of his best player. I highly doubt we'll sign him.

Right, that shut me up.
I'll be off, so.

Left out.
Why not? We often do our deals before actual transfer window begins so that players can join on July 1 and have a full pre-season with us. I imagine more than one team does that.
Yes. But we do it mostly after the season ends i.e. around May or June.
Rarely we get cases like Hernandez or Lindegaard and even then they usually come from teams in not the top leagues. Why would Udinese unsettle their best player by entering into transfer negotiations with 2 months still left to play.
Yeah, I don't really get it either. It seems to be a case of if people keep saying it enough, it just becomes an accepted truth to the ones who haven't seen all that much.
I meant "quite".
From what I have seen of Sanchez he is not a central midfielder at all, regardless of whether you play holding players behind him.
It's similar to the Joe Cole can be United's creative central player argument which plenty put forward in the summer. I disagreed with it then and I disagree with it now. If United sign Sanchez we will use him primarily out wide with the added benefit he can comfortably play striker.

In 4-4-2 he'd play wide, but I see no reason he couldn't play where Ozil does for Madrid when we play our away day formation.
It still seems silly.
He's a winger or he can play as a striker. Why is it we get posters in here who make out literally anyone can play in a 3 man midfield? If thats the case why dont we have Nani in a 3 man midfield?
This. I guess the thinking is like "Oh we have three men in there, so one of them doesn't need to be that good in central midfield". But that totally destroys the point of a three man midfield.
He's scored 4 goals in a match, of course he is
I would have scored 5 against Palermo, italian league is like the belgian league
Yes, I honestly think we would play that formation on the big occasions if we had the player to do it, in fact to a degree I'd say Rooney played that role last night, floating all over the deep areas between Hernandez and the midfield. Fergie has tried to let Gibson and Anderson have that role but it's not organic for them, so finding a player who can play wide in 4-4-2 and as the link in the big game/CL away formation switch is ideal.
I will try and find the link for this one.
£25.4m is a really good price for him, sounds like a City bid though because only they can start negotiation with such amount. I'm probably talking bollocks though because it might have been anyone.
