Alexis Sanchez

Is anyone really bothered if he goes to Bayern? Great player but we've got a shit hot front three barely past their teens along with the best striker this league has seen, with some amazing prospects coming through. If he went to Chelsea or the rags I'd be bothered, but Bayern? We might play them once or twice before he retires and they don't play in the premier league.

Personally not arsed we covered in that department. A couple of fullbacks another centre back and midfield that will do me.

Nope, not arsed.
 
Sanchez is a great player but he seems to sulk if things don't go his way or he is subbed. He reminds me a bit of Tevez. We would have had to have paid massively over the odds to persuade Arsenal to sell him to us.

Sure. Only if we sign Coman.
 
Sane and Sterling are really talented, and of course G. Jesus. But, in my opinion, they are still not in the level of Real, Barcelona and Bayern. I hope we do sign Sanchez because he is a WC with a lot of exeprience. I dont think we need to be dependent only on 20-23 years old in the attack
 
We need to go all in for one of Mbappe or Dembele of Dortmund. They are world class. I mean at 18 and 19 years of age they're already doing the damage that Sanchez does in the CL.

It's not about giving up, I just believe players like Mbappe or Dembele could be better options to invest in than Alexis Sanchez. What we see in Alexis Sanchez is his peak, he'll be 29 years old in December, this is as good as he'll ever be, his development is over and he'll begin to decline after a couple of years. What we saw from Mbappe at 18 years of age is about as good as Sanchez in his peak, or was in the CL at least. That's probably why Real Madrid are seriously considering him and that's why I think we should seriously consider him too.

I don't ,Juve get in players of Sanchez's experience and end up in the champions league final regularly !

Sure, that's another valid argument that experience helps in the champions league. But 3 years ago they failed to make it out of their champions league group and they added one player over another each year, they are now an experienced team, their core players have been playing together for a while and some of their players are at the end of their cycle, kinda like Bayern over the years. I suspect they will begin adding younger players to their team and some of their older players will leave soon. Another thing is that they have no domestic competition and they don't play 3 domestic competitions every 3 days with no Christmas break.

I'm not against Alexis Sanchez, Pep's judgement is what's important. I just think it's not the end of the world if he goes somewhere else and there may be better targets out there.

Hope this won't relate in any form to Coman.
He isn't the answer/alternative.
Our defence needs work but we badly need goals next season..The gap between Aguero's goals to the rest is worrying for a team that's aiming to win the league..We need a wide forward(s) who can chip in with 20 goals on one side and the other with at least 10 goals to supplement whoever the CF will be..Why i think Alexis would've been perfect.Sané & Raz might come up with 20 goals between them but we need more in addition to G.Jesus and Aguero,particularly if he leaves.
 
Sané with a full season under his belt will bag 20+ next season imo but I agree with your point.

Having full backs that contribute to the attack will mean more goals too. Plus Gabi Jesus for the whole season this time. God damn I'm excited for next season.
 
I honestly expect them to get at least 30 between them next season.

But yeah, I'd prefer Sanchez to Coman and I'm a fan of his.
Naah,expecting 15 goals in all competitions from each next season is a bit ambitious,in two or three seasons maybe..Too soon for them as they're still raw.Think 10-15 goals for Sané and 5-10 for Raz ( For obvious reasons) will be a good return but feel we need another 20+ goals wide forward not a 5-10 goal like Coman to supplement G.Jesus,
who'll bag at least 20 goals and of course Aguero who guarantees at least 20,if not Mbappé then if Kün leaves.
 
I don't think Bayern will pay more than £35m for a player in his late twenties and in the last year of his contract. As much as Arsenal want them too.
