How else was it going to work out?

:ROFLMAO:

We weren't involved up until this point yesterday evening ...
Agreed. It’s not even really a merry go round it’s just different options being exercised. Arsenal have always wanted PEA, Chelsea have always wanted a striker and Dort need to replace PEA so no way we could really stop any of that.

It's just that dortmund in very unlikely fashion agree to take a player who's a million times worse than what they've got, resulting in arsenal and Chelsea getting exactly what they want. Just amazes me how the planets align for these fuckers every time, no matter how badly they mismanage their squads

Plus rather than going to City Sanchez ends up at Utd at just the right time and pretty much guaranteeing them top 4.

What I don't get is City not buying Sanchez because he was too much, yet they bid they bid 65 million for Mahrez and just bought Laporte for 57 million.

All a bit chicken and egg the striker thing isn't it. If we get genuine quality then we can rotate a bit more. Because Jansen and Llorente have struggled they have rarely started and prospective better signings are scared off. Morata, supposedly, for example, though we might have dodged a bullet there and now Batshit. Amazing to think we had 4 good strikers a few years back and were only in the Europa regularly !

As posted in general chat..

I'm a little disappointed in the news - but some younger players that fit the bill for his replacement that haven't been mentioned:

-Lucas Alario (young, argentinian, doing really well in the bundesliga)
-Sebastein Haller (young, french (we got a lot of those now), strong as an ox, goal scorer)
-Niclas Fullkrug
-Michael Gregoritsch (tall and can play on the wing and striker)
-Maximilian Philipp (see above but I dont think he's leaving)

Yes... all these guys play in the bundesliga... excluded Werner. I put this with the thought in mind regarding Herc's itk. Haller or Alario seem to fit Poch's bill in both size and skill.
