If we sign Sanchez Aguero will leave. You can bank on that. People are just trying hard not to see the obvious.I said earlier you rotate 5 players then they play 22 league games each. And the likelihood is that Guardiola will play his strongest team more often, especially in the big games, meaning that a couple of players will get marginalised. You chose Real Madrid because they are the only team who operate similarly but then they dominate Spanish football, and they are more or less a permanent fixture in the last 4 of the Champions league if not the final.
This is cloud cuckoo land. I can accept that we are looking at Sanchez, but be honest enough to admit that if we do get into a position to sign him, it will mean a player leaving.

Just why? Why would Aguero leave?
Did anybody leave when Pep Guardiola managed Lewandowski,Muller, Costa, Coman, Ribery, Robben?
Even after getting Sanchez our lot wouldn't compare more favorably than that. But apparently, Pep will struggle to fit 3 kids, who can't last a season performing at the highest, and 2 seniors into 5 positions for nearly 60 games a season?

The manager, the player, and even the damn Chairman has confirmed Sergio Aguero isn't going anywhere. If he had to go, at least one of the player, player's agent, the manager, or the executives would throw doubt. Not ONE of them has.
Its obvious what is most likely to conclusionSomeone like Sanchez isn't going to be happy sitting on the bench, so I would expect Sane, Sterling, Jesus or KDB (not to mention Gundogan when he's fit) to be rotated out just to fit him in the Team on a regular basis, because I'm fairly certain Aguero won't want to be warming the bench either.
Signing Sanchez brings more problems than it solves unless we ship someone out. Sure, He's an upgrade on Sterling but he's not home grown which is another headache, as Sane, Jesus and KDB certainly won't be going anywhere soon.
That was 6 players for 4 positions. And 2 of them were permanent crocks. Frankly, it was the injury proneness of Rib and Rob that sparked the purchase of Costa and Coman. Totally different scenario.Just why? Why would Aguero leave?

Then you should conclude we are not getting Sanchez. Its an IF/Then statement. If you are absolutely certain the "Then" part is not happening just negate the "if".The manager, the player, and even the damn Chairman has confirmed Sergio Aguero isn't going anywhere.

If there was ever a more amusing use of propositional logic.
I'll make sure to drop in your DM an "I told you so" when we get Sanchez and Aguero stays despite.

Don't sweat it mate. Pep said in his last press conference of the season that they needed to find better solutions for Sergio to do more than just score goals and for the goal scoring to not just depend on Sergio.
We've all seen that Sergio has been pretty deadly with assists to Gabriel in the few games they have been able to play together. Sounds to me like another goal-hungry forward is essential for the way Pep plans to use Sergio in the future.
I think all City fans would be excited if that forward turned out to be Alexis.
If you look at most of the really big teams across Europe they have three dead-set goal scoring options starting games. MSN, BBC etc etc. If we end up selling Kelechi and Nolito and bring in Alexis we'd still only have three red-blooded goal scorers in the whole squad. (Aguero, Alexis, Gabriel (Sane a possible to eventually join this group)).
I suppose the one proviso on all of this is that things can change quickly in football (and most things in life).

There this literally no way that Pep or City will sell Kun this summer unless he specifically tells the club he wants to. And he won't because he's secretly fallen in love with Pep and thinks he's played the best football of his career in the last few months (IMO).

Why wouldn't we? He's one of our top priorities and he wants to come. I don't see any huge issues unless Arsenal wanna let him run the last 12 months of his contract down and keep an extremely unhappy player.

I hope your right mate would love to see Sanchez and Aguero in the same line up.

I don't really understand the question. It's like any transfer target of ours. City know that he wants to come to City before any other club so they're doing their best to get a fee agreed with Arsenal. Might take a bit of time. Worst case scenario they refuse to sell in England point blank. At that point City would have to re-assess but I don't think they'll do that because as I said, then they have an unhappy asset who'll be worthless in 12 months. My guy they'll sell and before the end of June.
sounds more like an 'if and only if' statement to meThen you should conclude we are not getting Sanchez. Its an IF/Then statement. If you are absolutely certain the "Then" part is not happening just negate the "if".
Arsenal are so desperate to appear relevant (like Liverpool) I'd not be surprised if they publicized that they'd accept less from Bayern so that Sanchez left the league.
For the sake of 10m they'd claim that they kept their dignity.
I wonder what our plan B is.

I can see this from Arsenal's point of view but Sanchez (and his agent) won't accept Bayern if a) it's not the platers preferred option and b) it means lower wages.

I don't understand this logic at all, Arsenal will sell to the highest bidder. If we offer £55m and Bayern offer £45m, then Arsenal will accept our bid. The player wants the move, and I trust the info of the people who are saying it'll happen.

No, Arsenal would gladly sell to a foreign club for cheaper before us. It reduces fan backlash, it means they don't have to play against him, he's not competing against them in 3 competitions, they can justify it as Bayern being a mega club.
But it's all irrelevant if Sanchez says he doesn't want to go to Germany.
