Because a transfer story emanates from the BBC, people assume it to be accurate, but they are now as creditable as any cheap tabloid paper or website.

Spanish and European champions Barcelona have agreed a deal to sign Alexis Sanchez from Udinese, subject to the winger passing a medical on Monday.

Barcelona had been chasing Sanchez all summer and following a meeting of officials from both clubs, plus the player's agent Fernando Felicevich, in Spain on Wednesday they finally got their man.

The Chile international will sign a five-year contract, with Udinese receiving a fee of €26 million upfront and a further €11m in performance related and add-ons.

Sanchez signed for Serie A side Udinese in 2006 from Chilean outfit Cobreloa, but was then loaned out to Colo Colo and River Plate before being recalled in the summer of 2008.

The 22-year-old went on to play over 100 games for Udinese and last season he scored 12 goals in 27 appearances to help the Italian club qualify for the Champions League.

Barca's number one target acquired.

Expect something similar for when they get Cesc.

It'll be something like £5m up front and more depending on other shit and we'll accept it cos Wengers a fool

10m was probably laughed out of the place.

Jag isn't all that but surely we must understand he's worth a lot more to Everton.

One could say they almost swerved off the road...

:lol: A strong experienced CB with proven organisational skills and the ability to play in midfield? You're right, no-one wants that kind of player here.

I'm sure the fact he's shit tops everything you just said. Also being able to play in midfield could be seen as a negative as Wenger will no doubt play him there and keep the flop Kozza in the team.We're fucked

Fair enough, I think you're in a pretty tiny minority there though, even if he were average he'd be worth buying.
