I did, but it was hardly a massive punt - style make fights as they say - and we have been getting away with it for a while now.
What angered me yesterday was the elementary mistakes and no-shows from too many.
I keep getting it in the neck because I have been saying since the back end of last season that Sergio is not the player we now need and should be sold.
He's an absolute legend for me but we are making the same mistake as we did with Yaya (who I said should have been yarded after 2015) by holding on too long.
I have us winning the title at around 85 points and hopefully we can break the 90 barrier.
The problem with losing Sanchez is there is simply a limited number of players good enough to play for us, Sanchez is one and we need a forward. It will most likely cost us over £100m to get the kind of forward we need this summer.
Aguero brilliant as he is does not suit our system, he doesn't press and his link up play isn't as good as Jesus. He will leave as a City legend and our all time top scorer whether this summer or next but he is a square peg in this City side.
Plenty who can and will.
If he does go to U*d thats the second player that's shafted Pep this season (Alves being the 1st) now.
Overall our transfer policy has been strong in the summer over the recent couple of seasons but really hope this one doesn't come back to bite us as we are one injury away from having issues and I'm not aware of who else was/is on our radar regards a striker.
Can deffo see Sergio moving on next season also. Leaves with another league winners medal, all time top scorer and his legend intact.
All blues I speak with are prepared for this and it would be the right time to cash in.
I dont think Kane is our type of player either. Excellent finisher but doesn't play in Pep's style. Could see the likes of an Augameyang doing a real job in this squad.
Something we would be interested in ?
Can definitely see Pep being a 'no second chance' sort of bloke.
Plenty who can and will.
