I think Sanchez story is nothing more than selling papers. Don't see it happening.

The people reporting it though.... I don't think they have a rep for saying this type of thing to sell papers. Maybe that is the goal here though.

Maybe it is reality that United have made a bid for him. It isn't unbelievable to consider that United feel Sanchez would be a good signing at a good fee - especially considering Ibrahimovic could, effectively, be done. Maybe they also feel a move to City is more likely, but know they have zero chance of signing him if they don't try to sign him.

I'm all for trying, legitimately, to sign whomever - I'm annoyed we didn't make an attempt for Neymar.

I don't, for even one second, believe that United will sign him - City will do whatever to sign him either now or in the summer, and if he does leave Arsenal it will be to City - I've no doubt on that.

Realistically £25m + Mkhi for Ozil and Sanchez is as good a deal as arsenal would get..

Basically a 50m package..

Absolutely no way you'd get Ozil and Sanchez for €25m + Mkhi. Considering each would cost a minimum €25m each and I would imagine Mkhi's value has plummeted in the last number of months.

Sanchez is on the wane - a very short sighted signing and could be a disaster if the 250k a week is true.

Not happening lads.

If we sign Sanchez this month I'll eat my hat.

Mkhi would easily be valued at 20-25m in this current market..

So the reports are a bid is in.

I don't believe for a second we even lodge the bid unless Sanchez and his party have said he'd be interested...

If it was Sanchez of seasons past I'd be excited but it's Sanchez of this season that has been more cold then hot.

We ask if they'd be interested - they say yes and talk numbers.

United put a bid in.

They tell City United have offered a contract and made a bid. City make counter offers and he signs for City.

On the question of Martial and Rashford being dropped, who cares, they should be playing well enough not to be dropped, having passengers in the team is the main reason we aren’t winning the big trophies. How many young/academy players is Pep playing in the league?

Lingard is playing himself into the team and I’m happy for the lad, will it last? Probably not, but that is how it should work at club like United, play well or don't play.

SteM

United are being played to get City to bid more and offer Sanchez a higher wage. No way he'd pick us over City at the moment I'm afraid.

Trigger

For the lads that don’t want to get invested.. come on come to the dark side...

Well if your to go on this season's form and numbers sanchez wouldn't make the first 11 ahead of Jesse or martial.

If Sanchez is willing to move to us I'd 100% be up for it. The guy can play anywhere across the front. People are saying it would stunt the development of Martial/Rashford, but that may not be the case. Sanchez could easily play through the middle or right side of our attack and has the pace needed to be utilised when playing counter attacking football. It's also a case that younger players not only develop through game time, but also by being surrounded by better players. They learn from them. We need more quality in our team and we've seen that Rashford and Martial can be very inconsistant, something i don't really hold against them.

Sanchez Premier league stats are excellent. In 122 appearances, he has 60 goals and 25 assists. I think he would be a great signing.

Of course this is true..doesn’t mean we can’t have fun believing for that while until it’s confirmed

As if we need players with his attitude picking us.

Who are people rooting for in the Liverpool/City game at the weekend?

I actually want Liverpool to win for a couple of reasons. To stop their unbeaten run and to hopefully slow City's march so that we won't have to give them a guard of honour in early April.

You're so right.

So, is it still a positivity train or has our choice of viechle changed recently? :pac:

Draw best result.

We won't catch City. But Pool can still catch us, and thus I'd rather that they lose instead of City.

Pool ending City's run would be a big confidence booster for them.

I'd like it better with the future captain of Manchester United, Phil Jones in the mix beside Bailly.

You may get a lower club intend on trying to make a big statement of a signing to possibly pay that but can't see any top level team paying that for him in light of his form this season. Can maybe see a European team looking to take him on loan with a view to signing him permanently at a later date for something like €15m.

But who knows.

Inter, who he has been linked to reportedly value him around 20-25m.. that’s why I have said that really.. they want a loan with obligation to buy in the summer for FFP purposes but United want to sell now apparently..

Lord TSC

I wonder, actually, if Ibrahimovic possibly leaving is spurring on this bid (IF TRUE).

I feel Jose was probably hoping Ibra would get fit and take up that #10 position behind Lukaku, but thats obviously not happening now. If Ibrahimovic does move on, maybe Jose is after Alexis for that reason?

I'd like to see city absolutely smash Liverpool though. The league is over, Liverpool are on a good run and a rival in the chasing pack so let's have them demolished please

Until a concrete offer is made by a club, then paper or twitter talk is just speculation for me. If a club gives us circa €25m for him i'd bite their hand off and gift rap him. But anyhow, that's all besides the point and we won't know until it happens, if it happens!

I also thought we'd never get RVP from them but we know how that ended!

If going by stats, Sanchez has the same amount of goals in the league as Jesse and Martial.

Albrighton and Gudmundsonn have more assists than the 3 mentioned above, but i wouldn't prefer them at the club.

Not having a pop at you, but just showing how numbers and stats can be misleading.

pjohnson

Sanchez also doesn't give a shíte this half season. He knows hes off anyway.

jimmytwotimes 2013

I'd cry if we got Sanchez but he'll end up at city as that's how these things go
