Only thing that concerns me slightly regarding Sanchez as a United fan is the guys age, how long can he keep playing like he has been at 29 and when he gets into his 30s. He's a player who relys on that pace and work rate, and most players like that even at 29 do begin to slow up. He might be an exception like Ronaldo or Robben, but you do normally get a dip in ability once a player like that gets to 30 and over. That's the only worry id have if I where the board, as they are going to have to pay him 350k a week even when he's 33. Is he really still going to be a top player by that time? Or are we going to have another Rooney or Schwienstiger situation on our hands, where our highest payed players are sat on the bench every week.
Yep. That’s probably why City don’t want to pay the money or wages to get him. United will be well and truly mugged off in this deal.
Mkhitaryan's agent Mino Raiola: "Man Utd is not going to sign Sánchez unless Mkhi agrees to join #Arsenal. Mkhi is going to do what is best for him. He has two-and-a-half years left on his contract, so it’s his decision" All down to Mkhitaryan agreeing to move to Arsenal then it's a done deal.
I think losing Mikhi would be a shame. Cracking player. Something's not right though, never has been really.
Like I said on our board, Arsenal are going to have problems agreeing terms with him. First of all Arsenal are ****e and no one wants to play for them. And 2nd of all Arsenal aren't stupid enough to pay him the 180k a week we currently have him on. What will happen next, is we will probably end up offering to pay a percentage of Mkitaryans wages at Arsenal to try to force the deal through.
If it's a straight swap for Mkhitaryan then there's only one club getting gaped here and it ain't United.
Sanchez is definitely a better player, but they only have him for 6 months, where as they could get Mkitaryan signed up to a long term contract. I thought the deal was 35 million + Mkiitaryan. Or is it the value of Mkitaryan, whatever that is? Plus the extra cash to bump it up to 35million? If it's the first deal we are paying out an awful lot of money for a player who will be on a free in the summer. Not forgetting the 350k a week in wages, signing on fee and agent fee.
He's on a four-year deal and seems to be pretty passionate about Wales? Might be a good stepping stone to MUFC boss if he does well but I guess that would be an ultimate dream for Giggsy
Hopefully if successful he does stick around until at least the end of his contract, but if a half decent club comes in for him before then I wouldn't blame him for leaving
It will be whichever is the most expensive. This is why City pulled out of the deal. They are no mugs.
When you won at ours last season he was far and away the best player on the pitch ... not sure what has gone wrong for him... think he could do very well at Arsenal tbf
On Arsenal target Malcom.... When Bordeaux manager was asked he said 'I'm not sure about the boys future and Arsenal but if Liverpool want you to work for them, you'd go tomorrow' Ouch!
