That is true.I can't see a swap deal happening. Not only do they very rarely happen in the Premier league but it would need someone to agree two deals with Levy in one go.

Some one put it perfectly yesterday when they said we couldn't even get Sancho from City in a swap with Walker, why would we expect Martial?
Some business for Mourinho that if he can swap Mkhitaryan and Martial, two players he doesn't want, for Sanchez and Toby.Sanchez/ Mkhitaryan?
Take your point though - they are quite rare. Can’t see it happening for us.
Plus City really didn't want Jadon sancho to go whereas United are quite prepared to sell Martial.While I agree. There are some differences:-
- Levy really doesn't like Utd due to past dealings. City I think we are on ok terms with.
- City offered a world record fee.
- We've had a boner for Martial for years now, and he would be a serious coup and statement of intent for us. Sounds like a fair bit of groundwork has gone in with the player too (I'm sure we really rated Sancho however)
But sure Sancho was only going to Dortmund for a year and then signing for us Zeki Fryers styleSome one put it perfectly yesterday when they said we couldn't even get Sancho from City in a swap with Walker, why would we expect Martial?

Wait, Levy isn't the worlds best negotiator in the world?!How we were never able to get Sancho as part of the Walker deal when he left for Dortmund that very summer is completely beyond me. Really poor effort from the negotiatiors in charge of this one he should have been ours

What do you think he does for a living? What circles do you think he mixes in and has done for decades outside of football? He's not some little fifty shilling tailor who got lucky and got a job as a football club chairman.He isn’t. History shows that. He especially does not know how to play on the top table. Sometimes we all reach our limits in life. I believe he has reached his. And don’t give me all the stadium cost bollox. We needed to strengthen the first team and sell those we do not want cheaply. Unfortunately unless we pull a rabbit out of the hat we will fall behind the pack this year.
Maybe we weren’t in for Sancho because we had high hopes for Edwards.
I guarantee most of the links with players are agents drumming shit up.

Wasn’t there something weird with Sancho though? Something with him not being on a senior contract made it easier for City to keep him from us.Herc definitely suggested we wanted Sancho and even hinted that he’d be coming back to England this summer - but obviously that doesn’t look like happening now
