Afellay has always looks quite handy to me
yeah afellay has been class, since his psv days. top top player. only thing lacking from his toolkit is top end world class pace.
if he had elia's pace, he would be a 30 million quid player.
He's a truly exceptional footballer. Would add a level of magic to the attack and fear to the opposition - if United moved for him, my hands would move to my transfer muppet.
Man United, Chelsea and Barca locked in megabucks battle for £30million midfielder
Published 23:01 07/06/11 By Alan Nixon
Manchester United are closing in on Ashley Young, David De Gea and Phil Jones but they have had bad news on striker Alexis Sanchez.
United, Chelsea and Barcelona will have to pay a stunning £30million to sign the Chilean star - after Udinese slapped a new fee on his head.
Top 10 things you need to know about Alexis Sanchez plus video of his goals
The Italian club are willing to sell the attacking midfielder to the highest bidder but slapped the sky-high figure on his head yesterday as the race reached a climax.
Champions United are prepared to pay £25million for Sanchez - seen as the perfect replacement for Paul Scholes - but they are backing off as Udinese raise the bar.
Ferguson has been told there is cash available, but the Old Trafford outfit do not want to pay the full asking price in one of the biggest transfer tussles of the summer.
Chelsea supremo Roman Abramovich has also told Udinese to count him into the bidding, with the Stamford Bridge club renewing their interest after failing to sign Sanchez in the last window.
Even Barcelona are struggling to pay the £30million and have offered three different players - Jeffren, Jonathan Soriano and even Bojan Krkic as potential makeweights.
Sanchez's agents are in Barcelona just now, but they have spoken with United and Chelsea. However Manchester City, who made the early running, have been told the player does not want to join them.
Now three of the super powers of the game are jostling to agree the deal, while the exciting Serie A star waits in his homeland ahead of the Copa America.
Italian sides Inter Milan and Juventus are also keen, but the South American wants to try a new league and experience.
Udinese chief Franco Soldati said: "We have had contact with Manchester United and Manchester City, but at the moment Barcelona have made the best proposal."

Udinese's owner today: "I'm confident Sanchez could stay here for another season. If an irresistible offer doesn't arrive, it means the big clubs aren't willing to pay what he's worth." Trying to push up the price, I guess.
I just dont think £30m for Sanchez is as staggering as that article is making out. That price is normal these days for top players. I'd have thought £30m would be a fantastic deal if someone could get him for that. That's £5m cheaper than Andy Carroll.
fecking scousers.
andy carroll will forever be the benchmark when used to comment on sky high transfer values.
Even the Andy Carroll transfer aside, it's a still a bloody good price for Sanchez.
So how does the writer make that out then? How is a guy who plays upfront or on the wings a perfect replacement for a guy that plays as a deep lying passer?
makes you wonder if the journalists actually watch any football
some of the stuff you read is shockingly bad
I was about to say the same thing. And how many times have we read similar garbage before. I think it is part of their template for getting to print as fast as possible-"________ seen as a perfect replacement for _______"
From the Daily Mail.
This Summer is mad, the papers are going crazy linking us to every player under the sun. All great fun 
I'd like to see them trying to understand each other over the phone.
Eh, Jimmy feckin' Man Utd. Que?
This Summer is mad, the papers are going crazy linking us to every player under the sun. All great fun
we have at least a 100 million to spend.
its either spend it or lose it
This Summer is mad, the papers are going crazy linking us to every player under the sun. All great fun
Like the good old days.
City have set up a meeting with Sanchez' and Udinese's representatives according to this. No mention of United. Perhaps Fergie only talked about how great Manchester's architecture is compared to Barcelona's and forgot to specify which Manchester club he should sign for.
I can't see anything about Sanchez on the Daily Mail site.
They've already done this have they not and City fecked Udinese over.
But if the lad has already said he'll only leave Udinese for a top club, I'd say City is far from his mind. He'd be better of staying in Italy for another year.
A bit confused how this lad fits in for us. Mind you I haven't seen him play much.
However if he's a wide forward/2nd striker/winger type...AND we're getting ashley young already...certainly it means some high profile attacking talent is leaving this club.
There is no way we'll keep sanchez, young, nani, valencia, berbs, rooney ALL happy.
Rooney is the only dead cert to start...well sanchez will as well with a 30 million quid price tag.

Manchester United farm out £7.4m striker Bebe to Besiktas | Mail Online
.... with a view to a £2m deal
Surely he didnt cost 7.4 up front
assume it would be based on performances?I can't understand how we would actually sign him now that we've bought Young.
Ok he's brilliant but how would we manage them all?

unless Nani is on his way out, as part of the Sneijder deal
Play him through the middle?
Or Nani is indeed on his way out for sneijder...
Or Nani is indeed on his way out for sneijder...
So Sneidjer and Sanchez in, Nani out
I think i would need a week to consider that though

Quite funny for an arsenal fan.
According to reports Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has become personally involved in the hunt to land Udinese star Alexis Sanchez.
The Daily Mail claims Sir Alex has intensified his pursuit of Sanchez, making a personal call to the Chilean ace to try and persuade him to reject Barcelona and instead join United.
The Chile forward is keen on playing in Spain and reports have suggested he has agreed personal terms with Barca.
However, the deal is far from done as it seems the Catalans are struggling to match Udinese's £30 million asking price.
Pep Guardiola is apparently looking to add Bojan Krkic as a possible makeweight in the deal but the Serb appears to want a move to Roma should he leave.
Ferguson is close to Sanchez's agent and remains hopeful of bringing the forward to Old Trafford.

We might have Young on hold and wait what's going to happen with Sanchez
I hear Barca have a transfer budget of £40m this summer, however this money will be used to buy Fabregas this summer, if not then they are likely to spend that on Rossi.
If that is the case then it will make it difficult for Barca to buy Sanchez and if they did where would he play?

Eh?
The person that would be under threat for a starting place wouldn't be Young, Nani, Valencia or any other winger.
He'd definitely play wide in some games gambit, he still does for Chile.
Not saying he won't but the way we rotate our squad, I'm sure he'll end up through the middle and on the wings depending on the situation.
