I don't but I do think he's a loser who will do anything not to spend money so that at the end of the season when it's all gone pearshaped he has his "I made profit" claim to harp on about.Quote:

im sure the work is going on behind the scenes to bring him in, even wenker knows he couldn’t get away with it falling through now
Looks like a straight swap between Sanchez and Mhikhi , no mention of money changing hands.
I'd call it a bad deal (because let's face it it is, losing your best player and top goalscorer for a reject who hasn't turned up int he last year and a half and has hardly created or scored any goals), but Sanchez haa barely got any time left on his contract.
Underwhelming due to the circumstances, feels like we're the losers here sadly.

If there's money involved then fair enough though, we'll take it, if it's jut a straight swap then we shouldn't have taken the money and spent it elsewhere.
All I see, is us selling our best player to a rival, and buying a player who is....ok.
Yay!
The only way this deal will be any good is if we get Auba as well, so they can link up again as they did at dortmund.
If it doesn’t happen, then this whole thing sucks big sweaty balls!
First bid rejected, but we are going back with a second bid nearer to what they want.
Reports suggest £55m
How many times has a straight swap like this happened? I can’t think of anything off the top of my head.
Often there is cash involved as a buffer but I suppose we didn’t hold any chips in this saga and frankly there is no reason why United would offer cash as well.
I’m satisfied with the deal though. I’d rather have a decent player coming in than cash burning a hole in the clubs pockets. Granted the player is not as good as Alexis but then he’s one of the worlds best, it was always likely to be a downgrade whatever we did.
450k a week for Alexis? Well, there's no competing with that, even if we were higher in the league.
Happy Birthday Mkhitaryan!
You've got a move to Arsenal to celebrate. :rose:
