You are forgetting who is manager at Utd, the special one will have Sanchez playing left back within a few weeks.If Sanchez goes to Utd I'll be seriously fucking annoyed. An injection of world class quality into a pretty ordinary team, who we just happen to be competing with.
The only silver lining is what a pathetic excuse for a football club Arsenal have become.

Very true. City are in a position of strength, considering they are nailed on for the title and the squad they have, which is why they aren't desperate to add a 29-year old (30 this year) on astronomical wages only to upset the apple cart and have the rest of their squad (the players who've actually grafted for the title) be paid less than a guy who walks in to the club mid-season and takes some for the honours. They'd be hell on.You know wages are getting silly when Man City think they’re too high
I’m concerned that all of our top 4 rivals are looking like they are getting even stronger
Every transfer window ..
It is unusual, but the Coutinho deal, and Sanchez’s contract has created a bit of a domino effect.It’s really unusual to see deals of this size in January though. Normally we get away with it mid-season because no one else strengthens their first team either.

I’d like us to sign a CM/AM type just to give us strength in depth and options with the CL coming back soon, but there’s not much value around now.
I’m concerned that all of our top 4 rivals are looking like they are getting even stronger personnel-wise before a busy run in and - say what you like - when you make a top signing it gives everyone a lift.
Liverpool: van Dijk
Arsenal: Aubameyang
United: Sánchez
Those are all top signings, particularly in the short term.
It’s really frustrating. I still think we can challenge for 3rd or 4th place but those players will give all of those clubs a big lift, and we could do without that as we have some catching up to do.
Hope i’m wrong!
I think that it is a very Spurs-tinted view of it. He’s a quality striker, and at 28, still in his prime.Aubameyang to Arsenal is a dumpster fire waiting to happen. They think Sanchez's attitude is bad? This guy is pushing 30, relies solely on pace to score goals, and clearly has underlying disciplinary issues.
There's a reason no big clubs have been in for him, even that Chinese team pulled out of a deal!
Absolute panic buy, it's like they've quickly scurried to see who's available, to try and cover up the fact that they're selling their best player to Utd for a discount.
Sorry. In no way is United "ordinary." Ordinary teams don't have Pogba, Lukaku, Mata, Mkhitaryan, Ibra, de Gea, etc. The defense might be pretty ordinary as in no big names, but has been doing well (and expensively assembled as well). United are 2nd, and if not for Mourinho's tactics, would be an amazing team to watch.If Sanchez goes to Utd I'll be seriously fucking annoyed.

Yet to be seen. Those two could be amazing. If Malcom shows every other game, he'll still be more consistent than Ozil. Aubameyang is a great player, and is much more direct than Sanchez. I hope you're right, though.good buy for them. they have the money and need to generate some positive energy -- Auba will do that.
Malcom will also do the same.
But once they lose Ozil and Sanchez they will be a bit worse off
