Just a thought for you City fans. Do you rate Sanchez better than Aguero? Would you be happy to see the former come to you whilst losing the latter? Would you do a swap with Arsenal Aguero fir Sanchez. Is the general positivity in this thread about Sanchez coming suggest you now see Aguero as a spent force? In age terms, they are only a few months apart.

No. No. No. No.

Dont you read this forum? Been done to death the last month
 
This age argument is really doing my head in. There seems to be a common view on bluemoon that once a player turns 30 it's curtains, they lose all pace, fitness and ability. I'm pretty sure the Bayern team that won the treble played two wingers, Robben and Ribery, who were both older than 30 and I've just seen a well over 30 Ronaldo single handedly win the champions league. Sanchez is far from finished and as with all top players can when they lose that extra yard of pace they make up for it with intelligence and experience. People seem to be underestimating the benefits of signing order players that have experience, we have plenty of young, raw talent in our forward line.
I even remember people on here writing off David when Pep came in due to him being old and past his best, and look how that turned out.

Aguero will forever be regarded highly at city. He has earned the right to be out number 1 striker. I consider Sanchez on a par with him though in terms of ability. They play slightly differently and the combination of the 2 could see them both actually improve each other. It is a pair up I would love to see.
I would fall out with city if they swapped aguero for Messi, nevermind Sanchez.
In your heart of hearts you would love to see sanchez and aguero playing in the same team, most football fans would (deep deep deep down) :)

Give it a rest!

Sanchez is a phenomenal player but he hasn't even earned the right to be mentioned in the same breath as Kun

Behind fake Ronnie & Lionel I'd struggle to think of anyone better

At that time Ribery just turned 30 and Robben was 29. The problems are always injuries - but they started with both long before the 30s. Robben still has his pace but is a workaholic off the pitch to keep that - and atleast with Pep and in a 4-2-3-1 is far less onedimensional than he has been some years ago. The Robben from years ago was sent a pass and then he was on the run - the Robben of the last seasons had his triangle with Lahm and Müller with whom he exchanged a lot of passes and who tried to get him "free". He is doing a lot more assists than he used to.

And even if I liked Ribery's pace on the wings and his 1vs1s - the most remarkable on Ribery is his ability to create. Next to none in Europe in the last 10 years out of open play. That might not be as spectacular as scoring goals - atleast in the media - but when there is not much space you need that surprise moments to set up your striker and Ribery is unbeaten in that by far. You could see that in total numbers, too, if he wouldn't have been injured so often.

Replacing him will cost a lot more than 50m. Lukaku is going for 100m , Lemar quoted at 80m. 50m is nothing compared to an extra year of Sanchez. Not to mention the fans revolt and the ensuing civil war.

Er he doesn't want to be there. Why riot over something that has no interest in you. Well, elsewhere maybe , but sell.

Arsenal fans deluded yet again.
 
I knew it was too good to be true to have more than two decent Arsenal fans posting. Normal service is resumed.

As a 'deluded' Arsenal fan,I recognise we may lose Sanchez however I can not believe he would be sold to City. After the Van Persie to Man Utd debacle, the idea we would repeat the same mistake beggars belief. If it was down to me, I'd force him to play out his final year knowing that he may not be as attractive this time next year and if we are successful he might feel inclined to stay anyway. But a move to a PL rival, no way...that would really piss us Gooners off.

So you're happy with potential losing out on £50m by keeping someone who's unhappy?

So you would rather risk getting no money at all for your most valuable assest and let him walk away on a free just to stop him going to a rival a year early?

To be fair I'm with you on this

If it was Aguero going to you lot I can only imagine the scenes on here..even if he wanted to go

But this is football..it happens..at least he doesn't want to go to your bitter rivals..we all remember Tevez crossing the city ;-)
 
Geez, you board only care about money, so look forward to seeing Sanchez on the 24th of February next year.

I agree with you. It's marginal which i suppose for a City fan is a good place to be. As a City fan I look at my team and wonder why we are not looking at other areas, but for all I know we probably are.

Have you seen the news about Lukaku? I can see a formal bid for Giroud heading your way.

Would you take £20m for Giroud? That would be a real headache for Wenger. If Sanchez goes as well then that would wreck your season before it began, but if Sanchez stays, how much football is Giroud going to get.

Id sell Giroud for sure, when he plays we revert to launching crosses into the box, ruins our game.
I dont think there is much in this wages FFP thing but if there is then selling Giroud for 20m and getting rid of his wages should be enough.

Allowing the contracts of your better players to run down on a regular basis should piss you Gooners off, but no lessons appear to have been learned by your management. Or do you not get that ?
