United Sanchez bid confirmed

comment by JonVeron (U6514)

Elvis - I know people have suggested that. Has he played as a defensive midfielder before? I've only heard of him as a centre back so don't know. Could be an option if he's suited for the role?
---------------------------------------------
Yeh he has. He played a fair few games there towards the end of the season as Kean ousted him from the defence in favour of experience. It actually think that is where he has been signed for. With Smalling doing so well and Evans also a reasonable backup, we dont really need another young CB. And at 5ft 11" he is a little short for a CB and I think that he may well play the majority of his footy at United in a DM role.

Fabio Cannavaro was 5,8.

Is Phil Jones really only 5'11? he looks much bigger?

Apparently we have put a 10mill bid in for Varane so maybe jones will be used in midfield - with Varene at the back or maybe vice versa?

No he wasnt. He was 5ft 9.5.

Still short though for a CB.

If rumours that Sanchez is a United supporter are true
===========================================

they never are. robbie keane was the worst - every club he signed for was 'my boyhood club'

players care about 3 things - trophies, getting a game and money. i daresay if barca promise him a few games a season he'll sign for them.

Rooney's Barber - who would you like to see come in if you could pick? I agree we need a central midfielder, someone in the same mould as Hargreaves (minus the glass body) would be my shout but don't know who that could be!

I'm just getting excited about a transfer of this size, that's all, but doubt it'll happen really!

I thought that was supposed to be Rodrigo Possebon but he was unlucky to get injured and the rest was history

Said the same thing yesterday mate - Possbeon looked to be just the sort of player we need now. Good passer, keeps possesion, dictates the tempo etc - sadly that pogetetz challenged seems to have ruined him

They are true, he said it during an interview on Chilean TV last summer. This is his quote:

“Manchester United has been my dream all my life and they would be my first choice,”

that's settled it then.

a summer chilean tv chat show is like having it written in stone and read from the mountain.

never believe it when a player says X and Y club are my favorite.

Why would we want another winger ???

Surely Fergie can see what we need, and if he cannot then I'm worried.

We've lost Scholes, Hargreaves has retired, Gibson is leaving and we simply MUST sign a world class midfielder not more wingers

We are getting Young so why waste 35 million on another winger ???

Bid for Sneijder not Sanchez !!!
