Any meltdowns from arsenal fans?
Gotta admit, I wish so hard, that Aubameyang will move to Arsenal, just to see Dortmund fans whining that their best players do everything to force a transfer to teams like Arsenal. :ratcafe:

Why is Sanchez paid so much more than the others?
Signed from a rival, there was competition from City, United are beyond rich, United are desperate, the management is naive, and Sanchez have a great agent (likely negotiated the contract in euros); and lastly inflation. Extreme inflation. Van Dijk a great example of the inflation in Premier League.

cause he's concentrating on one thing only while the others may have other interests in their careers apart from money

Sanchez purposely ran down his contract to be able to pick the best option for him. He had a chance to go to Bayern and realistically fight for that CL title, he had a chance to go to City and reunite with his former coach that launched him on European elite stage, definitely could've gotten an offer from some other European elite clubs like Juve or Barca. But he didn't care about any of that, he simply made his wage demands, the likes of Bayern and City couldn't match them, Juventus couldn't even dream about matching them and eventually he went to 2nd tire team United. The other guys on the list either didn't dedicate years to get into the bargaining position Sanchez had or were also interested in the team they signed for, don't remember the last time I saw this kind of planned out greed. When he will finish his career, we'll look back and see that the bigger part of his prime was spent planning how to maximize his earnings, imo this dedication to one goal is what made the difference in him being payed Messi/Neymar level kind of salary and way above Ronaldo

I don't see anything wrong with that and it's not as if he went China.

Yeah as long as he doesn’t pull a Tevez where he gets paid outrageous money and refuses to play, I dont see anything wrong with it.

Im not saying its wrong, Im saying he gets paid more than others because he dedicated years to it and picked United over other, more attractive options from trophy perspective. I mean 90% work purely for money, why wouldn't he?
