"All Alexis wants is to play for Manchester United," revealed a Chile team-mate, who did not want to be named. "He'd give anything for that."

From last summer, probably been mentioned before but... :drool:
 
That's it - I'm phoning TransferMuppetTraumaLawyers4U.
 
No, we're moving Valencia back to right back for that job, hence the space for Sanchez, you have to think outside the box see.
Yep, and with both Nani and Sanchez in front of him. This will cause the immediate retirement of most PL left-backs, who we then can sign up for free and sell on with a massive profit to enable us to sign Sneijder, Modric and Schweinsteiger.
 
its so brutal we invest all our dreams and hopes in Sanchez and risk being completely heart broken. For barca it either sanchez or rossi. they are just picking one of them.

My guess is:

Pure front men: Berbatov and Hernandez, Rooney if needed.
Forwards: Rooney and Sanchez.
Right Wing: Valencia and Nani, Sanchez if needed.
Left Wing: Young and Park, Sanchez if needed.
ACM in a 3 Man Midfield (No defensive role needed) Giggs and Sanchez

I think that ACM role is something Sanchez could excell at as he has all the attributes to play it, eye for a pass, drive with the ball, good dribbling, good movement. Obviously it would be hampering his eye for a goal a little bit but everyone makes sacrifices for the team somewhere and the fact he is capable of scoring from that position would make him the goal scoring midfielder we need.

He can definately be accomodated without really stepping on someone elses toes.
Which means that only four out of Nani, Valencia, Sanchez, Rooney, Hernandez , Berbatov, Young, Park and Giggs will start. That's too many to rotate. Someone will have to leave.

Nothing this lad doesn't know, he's teasing at the moment on KEY 103.

Manchester Premier Hit Station.
 
Would be gutting to see the guy that Fergie probably feels could help close the gap between us and Barca go to them....

I'm not about that. We lost to their awesome ability to keep a hold of the ball. I don't think Sanchez playing for us would have made much of a difference or will do in the future if he does indeed sign for Us.
 
I just find it hard to imagine a situation where we buy Sanchez and Ashley Young. With Young appearing to be done and dusted, it doesn't look good for our prospects of Sanchez. The longer this deal has dragged on, it feels more and more like Balotelli last summer - where the press constantly say we're in for the player but you had the feeling all along it was just paper/agent bollocks - which Ballotelli was.

With Berbatov, Hernandez, Rooney, Nani, Valencia, Young, Welbeck, Macheda, Cleverley and Park capable of playing in the attacking/wide areas, I can't see a reason to spend so much on him. Maybe if the Young deal falls apart, but otherwise I'd rather the big money go towards Modric or Sneijder if we're even planning to actually buy a midfielder.
 
I'd say all? Udinese have said it's up to him where he wants to go

In that case, unless he cares about money, I think he'll end up at Barca or United. The slight advantage we have is we probably could offer him more playing time but the opportunity of playing for Barcelona might be too much to turn down.

Well I didn't expect us to go for Sanchez after signing Young but we are clearly in for Sanchez so SAF obviously has a plan for the 2 of them, don't see how the young deal should effect it if we want both which it appears we do.

60 games in a season, 5 postions between them = 300 starting spots between 9 players.

That's an average of 33.3* starts each.

Obviously some players will get more, but lets say, going by last season:

Park started 25 games and had 3 sub apperances last season so lets say he has 25 again.

Giggs started 28 games and had 11 sup appearances.

Berbatov had 32 and 10.

Rooney had 36 and 4.

Hernandez 27 and 19.

Nani had 43 and 7

Valencia (Who was injured) had 19 starts

That is a good 90 starts availible, although thats not taking Valencia's injury into account, obviously Nani was filling his position.

There's plenty of space to fit them in the sqaud and it would give us great options and the one thing we have really missed (although Hernandez has helped), a real impact player off the bench. Wether it is Sanchez, Nani, Valencia or Young we would have the ability to offer soemthing fresh and pace that would terrorise even the most slightly fatigued legs.
 
Park was also injured/in Asia for quite a while so could get more games next year.

Although this is probably negated by Giggs playing central.

Five? I thought four.

And then there's Welbeck and Cleverley and Owen. I don't like this. Young or Sanchez. Not both.

Hernandez didn't become a regular starter until March, now he's a star. Like you say Valencia missed half a year or more and Park missed something like four months of the season. We're going to need as many injuries or more to justify having that many attacking options.

If we are counting Berbatov it is 5, target man.

Target man.
Forward.
ACM.
LW.
RW.

Going for him means we are selling Nani AND Berbatov and replacing both of them with a single player... who, potentially, suits our style of play better in that he has more pace than Berbatov, more football intelligence than Nani and works harder than either of them.

Young is just another squad winger which in this context makes sense. He will play when Sanchez plays up top with Rooney.
 
I'm getting impatient. I am going to sleep now and wake up tomorrow to see news that Sanchez has chosen us, at least i'm hoping to dream that :drool:
