Alexis Sanchez

Sanchez can play on the right, to be fair.

Makes more sense then but wonder if he is as effective? He has built his reputation arsenal on the left. I don’t know much of him before then to be honest.

Silva could play until his late 30s if the system accommodated him.

You don't need pace / brawn when your brain is 5 times better than everyone elses.

Jack. Hackett. Is. An. Arsenal. Fan.

Well you’d think he would have the decency to let us all know!

Jesus, I take a break from Blue Moon for a couple of months and now I'm taken for a City fan.

WTF?

Well to be fair you only usually come on here talking shite when the arse win, and well ya know that’s not happened much ;-)

I agree with you. I just hear a lot of “he will be finished in 3 years” which is not necessarily the case.

You mean sanchez finished in 3 years ?

I think that comes from someone posting his stats declining

I don’t subscribe to this. He’s 29 and in 3 years he will be the same age as Silva now. Would you sell Silva now? Even if we did I say we could fetch £20m plus regardless.

Oh please. You could as well compare him to Rooney. Would you want Rooney for 400k/week? Different players age differently. As much I have seen this season Sanchez is going down the Rooney road in this regard. Probably the reason he does not want to wait till summer even if it meant more money for him. His stock will drop fast.

Heres that little spat between bulbous head and Jamie Carragher from tonight if anyone missed it:

He' a rag. He is having trouble understanding the concept of a stand based on a principle that a verbal promise made has to be honoured.
For an Arab( I'm sorry to bring ethnicity into it) it is the one of the lowest characteristics in a human being to make a promise and not keep it. I can see why the City hierarchy are bristling at this.

I reckon a Mangala for Messi swap deal might be on the cards too

Now the idea of ridiculously mismatched transfers could deserve a thread of its own. For starters, could I suggest we give you Iwobi for Jesus?

Silva is a totally different player...he's never been quick or dynamic athletically Sanchez has/is once that goes for the type he is its downhill....Silva with his style could play another 2/3 years in our team....Sanchez wouldn't be near it at 35

Quite possibly true but there are players who relied on pace who played on well past 32 at the top level. Giggs and Robben for example. I’m sure you could find me examples of players going on the downward path at that age. Just saying it’s not a foregone conclusion that he will be shot in 3 years.

probably a bit embarrassed
