i presume sanchez debut will be spurs away at wembley.... cant see him being risked away to yeovil

He was bought(swapped) to play football and to win matches, our priority should be to win games. Alexis hasn’t played in the last few weeks so should be played in place of someone that has played a lot of mins lately to get him up to speed with the tactics n the like.

Cheers for that,
Still 21 million saved over 3 years. Sanchez could bring more than that in over the course of his time here.

Tbh I wouldn’t take that as fact, it says Pogba is on 290k for 2017/18 when footyleaks say that he will earn 201-205k

Think we need to realise on how much we are saving given the straight swap. Miki still had 3 years left on his contract and google says he was on 200k a week ( not sure how true that is tbh ) thats 30ish mil over 3 years which goes into a better players salary in sanchez, plus more given the reported wage, so its not all that bad.

Imagine the money that would be spent on a griezman or bale you would be looking at 80 million transfer at least 300k wages over 4 years so if he actually performs to the level he was at past season with arsenal for the next couple of seasons he will be a good deal.

There’s no way his wages are that much! Half that figure and you’ll be in the ball park! Bonus’s are different story tho

Yeah I had bonuses etc included but was more saying that even if that were the sum all included it can be justified given the value for money on transfers

yes but i dont think it will be against Yeovil away unless he is on the bench and comes on near the end... would be like the ronaldo debut v Shamrock rovers, players taking turns to try and injure him

Yeovil will be trying their best to win the match, to risk sending off’s would be silly from their end. It’s a totally different scenario tbh. We will have to agree to disagree on it though

Better not play any of our good players then, tbh. If you think that's the mindset Yeovil will come out with, we'd better pull Pogba and Martial too, in case they get hurt.


Or, if Sanchez is fit and ready, we can hope the Yeovil players will act like professional adults, and try to play football rather than engage in an MMA fight like children...

Announcement soon...

Speaking about his transfer, Alexis Sanchez said: “I am thrilled to be joining the biggest club in the world. I have spent three-and-a-half wonderful years at Arsenal and I bring with me very positive memories of that great club and its fans. The chance to play in this historic stadium and to work with Jose Mourinho was something I could not turn down. I am very proud to be the first Chilean player ever to play for United’s first team and I hope I can show our fans all around the world why the club wanted to bring me here.”

Jose Mourinho commented: “Alexis is one of the best attacking players in the world and he will complete our very young and talented group of attacking players. He will bring his ambition, drive and personality, qualities that make a Manchester United player and a player that makes the team stronger and the supporters proud of their club dimension and prestige.

“I would like to wish Henrikh all the success and happiness that I am sure he is going to get. He is a player that we will not forget, especially for his contribution to our Europa League victory.”

What an utterly beautiful sight. I can’t believe we’ve ****ing signed Sanchez.

Forgive my ignorance....

This is a good signing? What will he bring to the team? Is this a kick in the balls for Lukaku or will they play together?

We've spent a lot lately and they haven't really delivered for various reasons.

Lord TSC

Haha, City just announced KdB's new contract. How absolutely small time to try and be stealing the spotlight back.

You have a new signing. Your next game is 4 days away against a side near the bottom of league two. Then the following game 5 days later is a crunch tie against a league rival.

Why oh why oh why would you pass up the chance to integrate the new signing by playing him in what should be a routine win against the weaker side? Why on earth would you rather his first game with his new teammates be in a crucial match with little room for error against a title rival?

beakerjoe

Seeing him in a United Shirt is surreal. Its all kinds of special.
