Sanchez leaving for PSG and Barca getting Coutinho would be delightful.

We'll have been in for both, Neymar mental money so didn't continue the move, and Sanchez probably doesn't want to play for us quite simply.
And IF Arsenal decide to sell, they will prefer not to sell within the PL IF they can avoid it.
But, we can do things in the transfer market that other clubs can't dream of, right Ed? Right???
Well when Jose says things like that, some posters say it is meant as a shot at Woody. So does this mean that Pochettino is taking a shot at Levy and is ready to quit? (just channeling the earlier stories of Jose and Conte being ready to quit)
Don't underestimate PP. He's easily the coolest footballer in town.
I knew i should have started supporting PSG when Fergie left 
@JimWhite: Alvaro Morata signs for @ChelseaFC - club record £70 million!
Chelsea ruining the market
It's straight up mental. I hope it's just a ruse to get a player or two. Still fuming we weren't in for Traore when we knew Chelsea want Llorente. He'd have been perfect for us, but he went for relative peanuts.
Tell us how you really feel
Great deal for Liverpool. Robertson isn't proven at a high level but he's got good potential and for £8m it's a no brainer really. As for Hull, well, this pretty much reenforces how poorly that club is run. Expecting a rapid drop down the divisions in next few seasons
If you think we can't financially compete with City and PSG your wrong.
Our revenue is second to none and both Manchester City and PSG would both have to seriously violate FFP to acquire him whilst we wouldn't.
I just don't think Mourinho and Woodward see a move for Neymar as economical sense considering we are in need of players in more than one position (RB cover, Winger and a DM).
We nèed a winger though and two world class ones could be making a move to the same club, that is frustrating to see.
We can't spend £200m on a player and hand him £600k a week on top of already spending over £100m on Lukaku and Lindelof, not to mention we want other players.
Makes sense
So you think we'd have no problem spending £200m on one player added to the up to £600k/week wages he'd demand on top of the other business we've done? All that along with him missing one game each February while he goes galavanting with his sister on her birthday? Our finances aren't limitless.
We could our wage bill has just lost Zlatan and Rooney and our revenue is around the 500 million mark so its possible just doesn't make financial sense when we would need another 2 players in this window alone.
Yes we just lost at least 600k a week off our wage bill with Zlatan and Rooney but we'd have very little for anything else until the next Summer transfer window and we need another 2 players either now, in this window or in January so like I said doesn't make financial sense for us at this time.
So you basically agree with my post that we can't realistically sign him?
600k off Rooney and Ibra. 100k each from Depay, Januzaj and Schneiderlin. And at least 150 off Bastian. Since January, we've taken about a 1m a week off our wages and only added Lukaku and Lindolof. We have at least another 600 per week to add to the wages and should be seriously considering someone like Sanchez. Neymar at 222m at 600,000 a week would be stupid, even for United.
Our yearly revenue was around £515 million.
Lukaku - £75 million + wages
Lindelof - £35 million + wages
Neymar - £196 million + wages
That's £306 million + wages.
So yes we can afford him but we would still need cover at RB and a DM.
I suppose it would depend on whether or not the Galzers will sanction such a high profile move and whether Mourinho could manage with just Neymar as our 3rd and last summer signing.

If true, means he's already informed them he's off.
I have a feeling Barca are so desperate for money they're not too displeased.
Probably had enough of the drama with him as well.
Huh? Our yearly wages itself is 200 mill+. Even we aren't so rich to just spend 200 mill on one player.
Think they will be relieved to get rid of his father and let PSG deal with him.
So Barca could spend 100m euro of their 220m windfall on fecking Coutinho?
That leaves 120m euro to fix leaks in their side or just strengthen their depth which isn't really that much.
Thats not a good thing

Surprised that's true Real Madrid have had to put up with much worse with Ronaldo over the years.
Has Ronaldo skipped a game every year to attend his sister's birthday? Neymar has, with the game he skipped this year being one they lost. Had they won that game they would have won the league title.
There's some crazy money being thrown around this window.
Don't know why but I am seriously starting to admire the way spurs do their business. Reminds me a lot of us in mid 2000s. I know this could all turn out to be one gigantic waste of time and spurs just drop out of top 4 but they have been really impressive on and off the field.
Really? That is absolutely bonkers.
Need a link to one of those transfer window spending bubbles. Will probably exceed 1 billion between PSG and City.
not serious
