    Fancy Palace to make it tough for them.

    Could I just extend my thanks to Wolves, Everton and the Spammers for doing that very British thing of not taking advantage of our ****tard ineptness against the fat waiter's horse punchers ...

    ... now if Watford could just do the same <cheers>

    Don’t think they have many of those sorts of players although an oaf like Sakho might just run into Sterling like a combine harvester.

    Can't see Sakho turning up and playing well, Klopp ****ed him off for always acting a twat in training and being late. He hates Klopp.

    EDIT: Just seen he's injured anyway, that's a surprise.

    Ah, so Tel offered Poch the job and Spurs turned him down.

    Got it.

    We haven’t tried to take Poch, but when the rumours were circulating he didn’t do anything to deny them.

    The rest is in your own head bro.

    Sanchez wages is £360k with add-ons up to 500k for starting/scoring etc.

    Almost as bad as spending £60m on Naby Savage.

    It was a terrible piece of business. His game was always all about his energy as much as his skill, it was noticeable towards the end of his time at Arsenal that he was starting to wane imo. He’s a player who’s not ageing well.

    It could hve cost us £20-30m which is a drop in the ocean, Mkhitaryan was awful as well. We’ve wasted far more than that. People talking as if it’s the worst deal ever. Barca spent £140m on Coutinho (before his salary), you lot spent £50m on Sigurdsson, Chelsea spent £70m on Morata.

    Keep Hazard reasonably quiet ( alright, not easy I know) and they haven’t got much else.

    I didn’t say it was the worst deal ever, just that it was a terrible piece of business & one that looked it the minute you made it, due to the points I raised. You paid a £20m fee as well don’t forget, plus a minimum of £18m a year for 4 1/2 years which makes it a £100m deal. Bonkers mate.

    What must some of the other Utd players think? There’s plenty there who contribute 10 x what Sanchez does and get paid less than half.

    I didn’t mean that you meant that, I think Alexis is the only player who’s value is his ‘fee’ plus his salary.

    You and I had a conversation not long ago where you were talking about net spend not including salary.

    I’m more annoyed about Jones getting a new deal than Sanchez’ deal.

    Quite clearly they want parity. De Gea can GTFO If he thinks he’s worth £500k a week. His commercial value is **** all.

    Yeah I agree, but tbf, if you were his agent & you see what Alexis is earning there’s your starting point, as his value to the team is vastly more than Sánchez. That’s the problem with bringing in a couple of massive earners, as Arsenal have found out with Ramsey.

    Funny how it all went to ****e under that miserable bastard Jose. Even moneybags City ran a mile from Sanchez’ salary. I’d only worried about Rashford, out of all the players out of contract next season... he’ll get a good deal and sign though.

    De Gea can go this summer, we don’t need his drama every summer.
