Yes but we had 2 strikers at 0-0-0 but now at 20-2-0 we only have 1 and we are in 4 competitions still.
Jesus is only 2-3 weeks away from fitness though and we would always have been aware of the fact we would lose one of them for a few weeks at some point. Even if we signed Sanchez tomorrow you'd be looking at at least a week before we saw him in the squad.
We are still in 4 competitions but we have a massive headstart in arguably the most important one of those (for me, it was about winning the league this season although I accept some prefer the champions league) and tbh, I'd back us to find the wins we need to seal the title without either of our main strikers. We'll be switching our focus onto the cups before long in my opinion (and may see the unbeaten record go as a result.)
I think it's the mark of a well run club that we don't take a scattergun approach in our transfer policy or fee negotiations. Leave that to United as it doesn't seem to be getting them anywhere and we'll move on to other targets if we have to. I still think he'll come to us anyway.
