paddy power have suspended betting on sanchez to united....

I think it was in here where I saw it said before, I laughed, but there seems to be truth in it - Stoke giving themselves mad notions thinking that there is some sort of rivalry between them and United.

They have been known to punch above their weight against United, especially on their own turf. You would see them on a poor run against most other teams, then they'd beat us or make us feel lucky to get away with a draw.

Well, fúck that, no excuses on Monday night at Old Trafford. Even if Stoke have a new manager installed by then and have a bit of that 'new manager bounce' on their side, they are in complete disarray at the moment and need a spanking. At the very least...

Manchester United 17 - Stoke 0

Martial (2', 67')
Lingard (5', 22', 25, 57)
Lukaku (14', 48', 49')
Pogba (35', 71')
Mata (43', 63')
Smalling (79')
Rasford (83', 88')
Shaqiri (90+3' OG)


No problem.

Cos I'd not believe it for a second

I remember that happened a lot in 2010 for
Sneijder
Ozil
Kheidera

And at other times for
Gaitan
Garay

Not having a go at you mate just the notion of betting suspended

I wouldn't mind if United bid £200 million in the summer for Harry Kane, he is the best striker around.

Just a bit of craic of a Saturday evening. No sherries yet, no 17-0, but still 3 points is highly expected on Monday night.

Btw, look at you taking the WW world by storm. You sure you were a newb just a few months ago?

Would be a great signing but I've never quite understood why people would care how much any player was and how much they were on.

Want the best you'll have to dig deep, especially these days.

S.M.B.

Because at the end of the day it's the fans who are paying for these astronomical transfer fees and wages. Whether it's ticket prices, official merchandise or sports channel subscriptions the money is indirectly coming from the average Joe.

Meh that was always going to be the case for whoever got him.. it’s the way the game is these days..

DM_7

Until the fees are illegal then so be it. Players and reps/brokers are right to look for their cut of these massive deals.

I’m sure Sanchez agent would rather he ran down his contract and walked away for free in the summer where the agent and Sanchez would split the “transfer fee” aswell as the signing on bonus. To make this deal happen in this window you can bet your life the agent will get a nice chunk as he won’t want to miss his own payday

This journo says Sanchez to United is a done deal.

Yes, far too addictive once you're in there. That's why I just couldn't do it this week. You're some schemer in fairness, I aspire to be at that level someday! And look at the big wolfy head on LordTSC for yet another game. Ah, something about 'true colours' and all that :pac:

"United may have to pay £10 million in agent fees to land Sanchez".

That would be some bit of work for the agent if he got that out of a £25m-£30m transfer. Just insane. Have to say though, if it bags us Alexis Sanchez in this window I won't have much concern. Sure, as a fan the club's finances are important to keep an eye on, but this would be considered a star signing and a necessary one.

Say £30m to Arsenal for the transfer, £10m to the agent and another £10m-£15m to Sanchez as a signing on bonus. Look, none of this is right, these fees in football have long gone to fúck, but I would have no concerns about the club spending around £50m to sign Alexis Sanchez in this window.

I know there are his wages which are another expense, but we don't normally include wages in this discussion when we're talking about the fee of signing a player. I imagine with Zlatan destined for other pastures at the end of the season, at the latest, that will free up a few hundred grand per week and help balance out for the year whatever high wages Sanchez would be on.

I hope we do this, I hope we can do this. It makes a lot of sense. Good for the rest of the season, but would also be a great 'head-start' to some important changes which are required by the start of next season.

Hmmm a left back? A fellaini/carrick replacement, and a striker/sanchez.

SteM

From the same press conference:

"Our squad was built not to have new players in January. We built a squad with this idea, this philosophy that I share with [executive vice-chairman] Mr Woodward and the owners, that normally investment is made in the summer," he explained to reporters.

"The balance of the squad is made in the summer, unless you have a dramatic situation with a crazy number of injuries and you are pushed for emergency deals. But sometimes it can happen: on the table there's a fantastic opportunity and you fight for that opportunity.

"If it happens, it happens; if it doesn't happen, it doesn't. But I like my squad, I like my players; the more time I spend with them, the more I like them. And this week [in Dubai] was also good to be sure of that."

I won't be getting my hopes up.

If Sanchez arrives I'd say Zlatan is definitely off to America/China.

I reckon he will stay until the summer particularly while we still have champions league and it realistically being his final chance to play in it. Sanchez can operate behind the striker or in a front 3
