Our only chance to get rid of him. His wages are going to cause a huge problem even if we offer him as free.
Not the worst idea, Shanghai gets a player with a bigger name and we get a player we need more. Sanchez gets to play football and Ighalo gets to live his dream for another couple of seasons. Its a win win if ever i saw one.Swap for Ighalo?
The Chinese are not that stupid. Sanchez is crocked.Not the worst idea, Shanghai gets a player with a bigger name and we get a player we need more. Sanchez gets to play football and Ighalo gets to live his dream for another couple of seasons. Its a win win if ever i saw one.
Was only joking, no one is going to offer him even half of what he is getting from us. Unless he finds his old form by some miracle, we will have to offer him on loan again and pay most of his wages.The Chinese are not that stupid. Sanchez is crocked.
Nobody on this forum seems to understand how this works. Sanchez is going no where unless we pay him off. There is about £26m left to pay him between now and contract expiry. Why on earth would he and his agent agree to leave now for free when the best offer he will get from another European club would likely be £70 or £80k per week -based on his performances over the last 3 years. It is clear to everybody now that he is past it and worth no more than that.
He doesnt need to go to China due to what he is earning at united (earning is probably not the right word!)
He would be mad to leave us on a free. The only option is to send him elsewhere on loan and pay about 80% of his wages. Its slightly better than having him at the club financial speaking and a whole lot better for dressing room spirit it would seem.
Whitwell saying a young recruit could be sought but isn't a priority right now. I personally hope we go for Ibrahima Konate from RBL in 2021. He would before long be our best CB IMO.
Could be a bargain as well though. Not really sure, but I would imagine we would get him pretty cheap and he was hot property before he moved to Atletico.feck that, Lemar is a meh player
He is a Left-winger and right footed, so it is just garbage to fill the pages.feck that, Lemar is a meh player
That's my impression too. though he s left footed, and prefers left wing, I read somewhere he also can play RW and CAM.Fall back option, incase we don't get Sancho?
Chiesa is my number one preference.Chiesa > Lemar all day, everyday and twice on Sunday.
Atletico would sting us for Lemar at a higher price than Fiorentina would demand for Chiesa.

I think it's Upamecano who could be available on a free in 2021 due to his contract expiring in the same year. Konate if I'm not mistaken has a contract until 2023 and would be the better buy IMO.I know @bucky is a fan of Konate as well, is his contract up in 2021? As I think after Maguire every team we go to for a CB is going to try and fleece us.
Inter seem to be confused about how the arragement works regarding the players we sell them.
Think it's actually Julien Laurens who made the agent meeting claims, for the life of me can't remember if he's any goodOgden is a cr*ppy source.
Lemar was good before joining the ultra defensive Atletico, same as felix, maybe Atletico aren't set up to the benefit of it's attackers.
We saw how badly our flair players were shackled under Mourinho and simeone is pretty similar in style of football.
Hopefully that's because we've given him assurances that he'll get first team football sooner and will revisit it after a season or two.
That's it, we're clearly trying to do the right here and not offering too much, too soon. If we'd have gazumped Dortmunds offer completely, it wouldve left us in a tricky predicament in contract negotiations down the line, seems we've learnt from the Sanchez debacle.Yep - over the mid to long term I have no doubt he will earn a lot more here if he succeeds
There is absolute no need for him to move aboard at his age with his talent.
What's interesting about this article is that the journo is well connected to Birmingham City and he also seems to be suggesting a Sancho to Man Utd move looks a very real possibility.
