Sanchez 400 a week. No wonder clubs backed out. Even with a reduced fee, that's a big deal.

He's not worth half that. Even on a free transfer.

I have a horrible feeling he is going to make them much, much better.

He's not even in the top 5 players in the country.

It's a joke.

So you don't think he makes their first team stronger then?

The deal is worth a staggering £180 million! ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY MILLION POUNDS.

Salary: £121.5m Total Contract (27m a year before tax, over four-and-a-half year. 400k a week)
Transfer Fee: £30m (estimated)
Signing-On Fee: £20m (estimated)
Riola Fee for making a couple of calls: £10m+

If there was ever a transfer I wanted to fail so badly, this has to be it. What a truly obnoxious sum of money.

He may well improve them but they've had far better strikers than him. The figures are obscene. And as I said previously he's not even in the very top echelon of players. You think he'll be in contention for the Balon D'Or next year? rofl

What makes it worse is that he's an absolute mercenary. He'd have quite happily played in light blue a few miles away. Does that not bother the people who will be chanting his name next week? It would me. He couldn't give a toss about his new club.

Mourinho has always spent more than anyone else but if this is what second tier (top tier being Neymar, Suarez, Messi and Ronaldo etc) earn now then I too hope it all fails for the sake of football.

It's only money and they can easily afford it.

They'll be a far better side with him than without him I that's all that matters.

No it's not. We'll have to agree to disagree about that.

Made up figures for a start.
No deal been done yet.
Only united transfers are constantly broken down into total costs,or did vvd just cost you 70-75m ? You pay no agent fees,no salary?
As a percent of turnover united are amongst the lowest wage payers so it’s easily affordable .

I think we can all agree it’s insanity but these are market conditions .

Nearly every single player is mercenary. And why shouldn't they be? If the manager or club owner doesn't fancy them, they're ostracized and discarded asap.

Not every One is a Harry Kane. wink

Their is a mercenary element to the game sure, but being happy to sign for City on Monday and signing for Utd on Thursday, is taking the piss in my book.

He genuinely couldn't give a fk about Utd, yet he'll be their hero once he signs on the dotted line.

Just doesn't sit right with me.

No doubt he'll come out that it was dream to play for them when he a youngster playing in the streets of Chile...
