Taken from the Telegraph.
Inter Milan hope to find out by Thursday whether they can sign Alexis Sanchez from Manchester United on loan.
The Italian club are submitting an offer to United with an option to buy the forward at end of the campaign for €15 million (£13.7m). Talks were expected to take place on Wednesday.
However, unsurprisingly, United are balking at Inter’s suggestion that they only cover half of Sanchez’s wages of £391,000-a-week. There is also an additional payment of £75,000 for every first-team game that he plays.
The deal is further complicated because of the complex nature of Sanchez’s deal, with bonuses for goals and assists and an annual signing on fee of £1.1m, which takes the value of the contract up to £5m a year.
Although it would seem in everyone’s interests for Sanchez to move, United are hoping to persuade Inter to pay a far greater portion of his wages and also a larger guaranteed loan fee (which would be deducted should a permanent contract be agreed).

I think if we would of actually bought what we thought was a prime Sanchez for 50m and his contract was 175k a week would it still be seen as such a crazy deal even when it didn't work out?
------------------
I don't think you can look at like that though... Even though you're right about total outlay being similar
Its the impact of paying such a huge weekly wage and others looking parity as they're far better players... Or view themselves as being more important due to his total lack of impact
That's why he's been a disaster

can't argue with that in regards to long serving players like de gea because again to replace him you're looking at 70m plus wages
but when you have people who will command a huge fee or recently commanded a huge fee surely they're intelligent enough to work out that the club runs on TCO of players.

Players and agents are greedy... They'll be looking parity on pay regardless of what fee is involved

in reality its no different to Fred (who while we all say is a flop, we don't all seem to lose our minds about his contract or cost to the club) but you could've argued Sanchez should've been lower risk
-----------------
Fred is not a flop. He is a very good player with, among other attributes, a remarkable ability to make interceptions and pass the ball quickly. The problem is that has never been give a real chance with a decent run of games. Jose didn't play him in order to prove a point : " Fred can't play without a good cover, so buy me the defenders I want". Ole doesn't play him because he prefers English academy players even when they are average. If you want to see how good Fred is, give him to Guardiola.

I think you missed my point entirely.
freds fee + wages equals the same as what Sanchez would cost us provided both saw out their deals.
neither has pulled up any trees have they. I don't care what they might of done elsewhere or how highly you rate their skill set.

He will have cost us about £90m if he sees he contact out with us. About the same as what City have invested in Mahrez, or a what Liverpool have on Keita, or Arsenal on Ozil. PLus we could still offload him and get a fee.
Im not losing any sleep over it.
