Alexis Sanchez

[blueparrot]

Kolarov - absolute liability...one of th most overrated players of the new generation

Don't think I have seen much overrating of Kolarov going on, the opposite actually think he gets an unfair rating, sometimes self inflicted but he isn't as bad as made out.
You're right though fullbacks centre back and pivot is were money will be spent. Especially with Jesus to add to the attacking line up. Unless of course Iheanacho is sold or loaned out then another attacking player may be required.

I will be livid if we sell or loan out Iheanacho. Jesus said himself he likes it best on the wing, and when you take injuries into account there's no reason why Iheanacho, Jesus and Sanchez can't co-exist quite happily in the same team.

Sell I agree, but he needs games to reach his full potential, he isn't going to get them ahead of Sergio. We have Jesus, Nolito , Sterling, Sane and for now Navas that can all play wide. I don't know the best answer but if we thought Jesus could also cover Sergio then an 18 month loan for him to reach a better level with regular game time at the right club could benefit us and him. I don't really know the best way ahead for him.
If he doesn't go on loan I can't see room for Sanchez, even if he did go on loan I'm not sure we would spend what is needed on Sanchez with other positions to fill.

I see it as this:
Aguero
Nolito Iheanacho Sterling
Jesus Sané

Navas will be gone, if not in January, then almost definitely by the start of next season.
Personally I doubt we'll sign Sanchez, but if we do then there'll be space for him, especially considering he can probably play in any of these places and an attacking midfield role too.

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

He is class.

 

[Kompany is King]

Good player but not what we require.

 

[dickie davies]

Good player everything that we require.

You have to laugh at some comments. Of course City wouldn't require arguably the best player in the Premiership.

After today you would think they would understand that we are in need of clinical player like that in the box, idiots!!

 

[Edwin Edwin]

Forget his goals and assists,his movements,runs and work-rate is everything that Pep wants from Aguero..Is he a better finisher than Aguero? Probably not..Would Pep trade Aguero for him?I think so.All in all,we certainly need another proven goal threat Kun aside be it Alexis or an Aubameyang.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Sanchez and saurez both clinical in front of the goal.
Just what we are lacking at the moment.

 

[Kompany is King]

I recognise Sanchez is very, very good, and we are not clinical in front of goal at present. This has to change.

However if we sign Sanchez, what happens to Iheanacho, Gabriel Jesus & Sane, players who are currently on the fringe or waiting to make their debut. Do they just get the odd few minutes?

My earlier comments were written before Aguero got sent off & banned. I though full backs & Centre half were our priority. Still think the same.

You are correct but we need to show patience with young players. You could see yesterday how good Sane will be - but he only does it in patches right now.

Pep Guardiola made a personal phone call to Alexis Sanchez after his hat-trick against West Ham to persuade him to join City. [El Mercurio]

Pep Guardiola has already contacted Alexis Sanchez on at least two separate occasions. Sanchez's contract expires in 2018. [El Mercurio]

 

[Iamthemusicman]

The heir to Carlos' empty throne.

 

[kaz7]

PEP: (on Sanchez rumours) False. The journalist is a liar. Sanchez would fit into any side in the world.

 

[MarsLlama]

I'd happily see us pay £50 million for him right now.

 

[MCFC ISRAEL]

Just imagine:
Kun as a striker
Sanchez and G Jesus on the wings
And KDB as AMC

 

[Mcfcluke]

As much I would love him at city just cannot see him leave arsenal even if he I think it will be abroad

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Never going to happen. We have Aguero and Jesus on his way, with Sane, KDB, Iheanacho, etc, all in the attacking positions.

While we also have the likes of Brahim who could be potentially challenging for a first team spot come next season.
