I thought Pedro was bought when he was 17/18.
He was.
True, but they haven't had any of the big players out injured for long periods.
Correct. I was dead certain he'd joined earlier than that. Nevertheless, he was B player before taking on his current role as first team player.
They end the cover and competition for Messi, Villa and Pedro.
Affelay alone is not enough. Jeffren and Bojan are a major drop in quality in comparison Villa and Pedro. Getting in Rossi and Sanchez world solve that problem for Barca know they won't escape for another season with a thin squad, with what Jose is doing at Real.
Sanchez deserves more than being just cover. Anyway they ( Marca) have changed their story slightly from this morning. The bit about him signing today has gone and changed to Barca are trying to wrap it up quickly, to then just going into other reports about the story from Italy.
That is why I said cover and competition. Sanchez if he ever signs for Barca will be first choice I'm sure.
What sort of fee are Udinese after?
Between 30 and 35 million euros it seems.
According to some spanish journalists: Personal terms agreed between Barca and him, but a agreement between both clubs is still to negotiate.
Don't see the problem at all myself, we regularly leave out of the first XI at least a £100m of talent every match. Barca have been lucky with a lack of injuries to their first XI but if they had to go through a period of a few injuries, their lack of strength in depth would be exposed.
come again?!
Actually, Udinese's president Franco Soldati said that.
Manchester United and Manchester City target Alexis Sanchez has agreed personal terms with Barcelona - Udinese president - Goal.com
He mentioned Inter and Juventus as his other suitors. The Caf's Sanchezmania will probably die at last.
We've had matches where we've left:
Berbatov (£30.75m)
Anderson (£20m)
Nani (£17m)
Smalling( £10m)
Hargreaves(£17m)
Beba (£7m)
Total ~£100m
out of the starting XI at the same time, its just squad rotation. I don't see the problem with it.
barca are going to muller everyone on sight next year.
i fear for our arsehole if we play them again.

Muppet suicide is never pretty.
As good as there.Maybe time to close thread.
Actually the owner of Udinese has said that the reports saying that deal between Sanchez and Barcelona has been completed are false.
Udinese have released a statement insisting “there is no agreement with Barcelona for Alexis Sanchez, nor are any meetings planned.”
President Franco Soldati was quoted as saying Sanchez already agreed terms with the Blaugrana for a summer switch, which would be imminent.
“With regards to the statements attributed to be about a supposed transfer of Sanchez to FC Barcelona, I wish to point out these are without foundation,” wrote Soldati on the official club website.
“There is no agreement between Udinese and Barcelona for the sale of this player. It should also be noted no meetings are planned between the two clubs to discuss any such transfer.”
Game On!

It's Alive! It's Alive!

We should have pulled out all the stops last Summer. He's going to go on to be fecking huge.

keep faith man . just BELIEVE. wanted to post you that Believe mosaic in old trafford. couldnt find it though.
My inner muppet really does need satisfying. I never had myself down as a muppet but I just wrote the following and felt I should add this piece of text at the start.....
I genuinely thought after Barcelona spanked us that we would be aiming for players of Sanchez's pedigree to take us up a level rather than players like Young.

Stop fooling yourself. Deep down inside every member on here knows how this ( and every other) transfer window starts and ends.
1." Muppet show/ Cocks out" : United linked with every star and semi star with half a decent YouTube compilation and up and coming youngsters with exotic names like; Rigobertu Barrabas, Sumit Natas, Sigfried Hundertwasser and Blzashozk Duzcsdhkassplka.
2."Sky Sports understands" : Endless amount of articles and/or tweets with quotes from the agent, the " representative", the father, the brother, the "agent brother" and " undisclosed sources".
3." Muppet suicide/ Cocks inn" : Linked star/ semi star player either; A: Signs a new, improved contract, or B: Signs for Barcelona/ Real Madrid/ Bayern Munich. ( the exotic named youngster is granted eternal life as FM folklore)
4." Oh well, will strengthen the squad" : United sign 1 or 2 decent, if somewhat unglamorous, players from mid table Premier league teams and a totally unknown foreigner.
5." Told you so" : Said players proves to be big hits. United win the league and reaches the semis or the final of Champions league.

Even though he is made for United he won't come. More fool him perhaps, but it will be Barca or Inter, irrespective of what the Udinese chairman says now.
Yes we all know this, we are currently at stage 2, so kindly let us get on with the cycle if you please.
its all about bring one GREAT player and other will follow. Remember few summers ago. Real signed KAKA, Ronnie, Alsonso, Benzema, Carvalho... it all started with them getting KAKA and the others followed. If we can get first big STAR soon. We get them all. Sign Sanchez now, tommorrow it will be Modric, Sneijder, Rodwell, Pato all following Sanchez lead.
....you forgot the 'arsefecked by barca' step. step 6 i believe.
the time we didn't, was when we signed 1 established english international from a massive foreign club, 1 extremely talented south american, and 2 highly rated latin youngsters (one who was rated the best player in the 2005 u17 world cup).
Don't know about you, but my arse is sore from having catalan cock tiki-taking it.
But Real's splurge was financially backed by people with money. We're in a shitload of debt. Just consider the wages, agent's fees etc with such players.
And Pato? Do me a favour.
Anyhow, I just hope he ends up at a club that let him fulfil his potential. A joy to watch when he's given some space.Ehm...no... - if you are willing to pay what it takes, you get the best players.
If Ferguson puts £35 mil for Sanchez he gets him - regardless of that - he will get Sneijder if he puts £40 mil on the table...regardless of which he will get Gareth Bale if he puts £50 mil on the table
But we haven't got that money to spend......
You better get lubed up then cause signing a german speaking Canadian, loaning a player from West Ham and hitting on a " buy one, get one free" bargain probably wont work twice.
Mirror, but it had to be posted for the bit in bold.
