5 Premier League teams in the knockout stages of the Champions League? Either all of the Premier League (and therefore, European clubs) are poor, or you could be totally wrong. I know which one I'd bet on.

I find it very strange that you wouldn't know what Sanchez's contract situation at Arsenal was as couldn't have been more documented, and then make sweeping statements about how poor United are.

For the most part, United have been very good this season. That fact is only hidden by the fact that City are having (by far) the best Premier League season in history. Sanchez addresses one of the massive gaps in the team (RW), and will drive United on again. It's the strongest squad we've had in a long, long time.

I cant see him playing right wing. Just off lukaku i think he will play

Arsenal when they had henry bergkamp and vieria maybe, not when they had xhaka, ramsey and iwobi!!

pjohnson · 22-01-2018 9:47pm

Both players both said they wished they played for their current clubs years ago.

Nothing "LOL" about either incident.

bangkok · 22-01-2018 9:47pm

Also lol at van djik and liverpool

So we are told, like a lot of reports around this deal. Mkhitaryan was a teenager in the years of the invincibles so it stands to reason he might have wanted to play for Arsenal when he was younger

We tried to sign him from udinese but he chose barca instead

Yeah sorry my wording wasn’t great, I meant we weren’t really in the mix at the time from players point of view, very difficult to turn a South American players head once one of the big 2 in Spain come calling.

Do we owe Thomas Lamar and Arsenal’s dithering a big thank you. Wasn’t a deal agreed for Sanchez but only on premise of them signing a replacement and they left it too late?

And he was making a massive step down in his career to a team that are going nowhere

A few weeks ago you weren't positive of where United were going under Jose.

If arsenal get Aubamyang in this month they will arguable be stronger then they were in December they could still challenge for fourth.

That's a fierce mild evening outside, isn't it lads.

He did, he said that about 10 years ago for the first time.

He said it was a boyhood dream of his to play for Arsenal, the way they play etc Thierry Henry was his hero. Nothing wrong with it is there?

It's just dawning on me here now - A swap deal appears to have actually happened in real life.

I can't remember the last one. Anyone?

Yep, according to Google that seems to have been a straight swap indeed. 2006.

I can't get over what a great bit of business this Sanchez transfer is. Swap deal, world class player in his peak years, is still eligible for the CL this season, almost too good to be true.

Hope Yeovil are shítein themselves now.

J. Marston · 22-01-2018 10:28pm

Etoo and Ibrahimovic too although there was some money involved in that.

You know he just looks so flipping natural wearing the shirt. This guy will be great for us.

Jayop · 22-01-2018 10:36pm

Feck it, I've had an absolutely amazing day, got three deals in work today worth a bomb to me, the most I've ever had in years working here so I'm going to book Friday night off work to watch the Yovil match in the pub. I'm fairly sure he'll play some part in the game so why not.
