I'm wagering to replace Fellaini in the summer
Mesut Ozil on a free? | Orn: Ozil signs new contract worth 350k

It's long been said over the years that we target wages as being the equivalent to 50% of our turnover, in which case I believe we have been under that figure quite comfortably for a while now (47% - the lowest in the league - reported in: http://www.skysports.com/football/n...and-efl-wage-rises-analysed-in-deloitte-study) - so even without the high-earners like Zlatan and Carrick leaving, we have a bit of room still to go to reach that level. And of course it is just a target - we've been beyond it before and the world didn't end.
I doubt wages would stop us if the manager wanted the player, especially on a "free".
the fact United is now almost at 600m turnover, that was 4 months ago when they published reports of United financial. I think it is 590m so it dropped to 42% by 5% when our revenue grew up massively.
Ozil and Sanchez for a combined £30-35m is insanely great business.
If we do get Ozil.
This is the kind of business Juventus and Bayern have been doing well over the last few years. Leaves money to be splurged on other positions.
Signing Ozil and Sanchez for around 50 Mil combined and them playing to their best for the next 3 years is absolutely solid business and brilliant.
Shows Mourinho hasn't lost his transfer instincts and Woody is learning well.
Poor Wayne Rooney would be vexed he never got to play with them!

Yup yup I agree.
Ozil IMO doesn’t work in an away game against top side which is fine swap him put in those games if needed but don’t let them 4 games mean we’re not gonna sign him. He will be the cause of us bagging 6/9 points against robust defending bottom sides during rest of the season
Sanchez and Ozil.
We've got a stack of players due to leave. Blind clearly has no future here, fellaini wants a move, ibra will leave in the summer or before, carrick has a heart problem, surely he'll retire now and there are a few others who could move on. That's a lot of money in wages right there.
Does it take much transfer instinct to know that Ozil for free is a good deal? Even Stevie Wonder could see that.
As others have said, United will be saving a wedge on wages due to the inevitable cutting of deadwood from the squad.
We can more than afford to bring in both Sánchez and Özil.
Think of the counter attacks

Should we take him too
If Ozil and Sanchez does come, it does feel like a Dortmund-Bayern relationship we have with Arsenal, rivals but players love to come to us.
Do Ozil and Sanchez get along well off the pitch?
Arsenal get Malcom and we tie up Sánchez.
We can the swap Micky for Ozil.
Lovely!

Would take him, we need a player, wo can create chances and MO ist one of the best in that.

Yep. Even letting Zlatan leave frees up £250k per week approx.
If we can somehow get Goretzka that is our entire MF and attack solved within 50M. Then a WC RB and LB and we're there
So 2 from the Gooners then.
They're not gonna sell both their star players in the same window, there'll be uproar. Not unless they've lost all their marbles at least.
Sanchez has burned bridges and will likely go, he's desperate to leave. Ozil will either renew or go for free in the summer, that's my feeling of it at least. I reckon Mkhi doesn't even come into it. When do swap deals ever happen? Mkhi will most likely go somewhere else in the summer for something in the £20m-£30m region. Maybe Italy or back at BVB. If we get Ozil, it'll most likely be on a free in the summer.
If we play it flawlessly, we could hypothetically get Ozil and Sanchez for near the same cost as we sell Mkhi. That would be unreal business from Woody and it wouldn't even hit our salary budget too hard, as Zlatan will most likely go in the summer as well.
Slim chances of all this coming off, but not outside the realms of possibility.
Are Arsenal becoming our Southampton? 
I can't see us getting both Ozil and Sanchez. Wtf are Arsenal doing letting these 2 run den their contracts to the point of leaving for nothing. It shows how poorly the club has been run.
Ozil for free in the summer, Mkhitaryan back to Dortmund plus 25 mil for Pulisic
Ozil will be able to go where he wants.
Ozil, Alexis, Pogba and Martial in the same team
MO10
Pogba and Özil can be our Yaya-Kolo (Pogba-Molo)

We haven't even signed Sanchez yet but I'm getting greedy. Sign both.
Ozil will want to come here I think if we are keen.
No point in going for Özil in January as he wouldn't be eligible for CL. But yes please for the summer

Europa League isn't limiting a player to play in CL surely?
I get excited whenever I see this thread bumped. It would be outrageous if we got both now but I think we will be in for Ozil in the summer if not.
Would be incredible business to sign Sanchez now then bring Ozil in for free in the summer, would free up funds to sort out the full backs and midfield.
Only one player can be registered who played EL before. So Alexis. Thats what i read on here
Getting him and Sanchez for a combined 35m would be a fantastic deal. I am not even sure that our salary bill will get up considering that Zlatan, Carrick, Mhiky, Darmian and Fellaini will leave.
It will leave us in a great position to go for an another top notch midfielder, and an another defender or two (especially if both Darmian and Blind leave, Rojo probably too).
I think that our team will be complete next season. Haven't felt this optimistic for a long time.

Sanchez for £10m agent fee + Mkh and Ozil on a free. Add Goretzka on a free in the summer for some wishful thinking. Be footballs best modern day business.
Only one player and I would suspect Alexis to be the chosen of those if both were to be signed.
Feck it lads, here we go!
Isn't Goretzka going to Bayern? But yep, getting Sanchez and Ozil essentially for agent fees while getting rid of Mkhitaryan and his 150k/week wage would be great business.
Too many defenders, do not like.Feck it lads, here we go!
