What fucking plan?! Have you had a cup of tea with Pep and talked about Sanchez playing deeper? No!
I would bet my house that if we sign Sanchez he would play 90% of the time in one of the front 3 positions!

What this has to do with Sanchez is Pep's vision for our team. OK, I accept you can't see it, but the fact I and others can, probably explains why this thread has nearly reached 3000 pages. I supoose this will have to be one of those, let's wait & see, but the probable plan seems pretty clear to me & always has.1) you’re not pep 2) pep hasn’t said he wants Sanchez to play in central midfield has he?
If you think Sanchez has all the attributes to play as a central midfielder then I think you have little understanding of the game. If Sanchez happens to drop deeper for Arsenal or signs for us and plays in either KDB or Silva’s role and excels then I’ll happily hold my hands up.
Also not sure what the sterling 10 example has to do with us talking about Sanchez playing as a central midfielder but hey.

So how do you think Pep will setup with Sanchez in the side? In formation terms.

So you're putting your house on it? Done!What fucking plan?! Have you had a cup of tea with Pep and talked about Sanchez playing deeper? No!

Honestly, I saw what our ultimate team formation would likely be long before Guardiola arrived. There's an old saying. To know where you're going, you need to know where you've been & where you're at.
It's a logical & linear progression & is clearly there when the dots are connected. Several long standing posters will attest I've long held the view that this would be a 4-1-2-3/4-1-4-1 or a 4-3-3 as some will call it.
I'm as happy to call this now, as I was with our formation back when we were lumbered with a 4-4-2, & had the pedestrian Yaya as one of the two CM's. However, my house will remain the property of my family, but I'll be happy to take yours! Lol :-)
Only joking! Xmas is round the corner & Sanchez isn't here yet.... :-)

What I don't get is your myopic view of 'either/or', as opposed to 'as well as'.
Question: Do you believe Aguero or Jesus could play advanced midfield ahead of Fernandinho?
I'm not being myopic. I'm just saying that on balance, the potential purchase of Sanchez is exciting, but I'm not excited by the idea of playing him cm in David Silva;s place. we have other players who ought to be able to do that and maintain the balance of the team better.
4-1-2-3 / 4-1-4-1.
Well done visionary. And where would Sanchez play in a 4-1-2-3? In fact for fun why don’t you choose the starting 6 midfielders and forwards, imagining Sanchez was in our squad now.

I’d like dribble to do it. Plus you’ve chosen a 3-1-3-3 formation haven’t you?

It is clever. Each of our midfielders takes a 30 minute turn helping fern out. It will be more revolutionary than the revie plan. In years to come I can see the worsley plan being more famous.

Hold on we can only have so many visionaries on Bluemoon mate and Dribble currently holds that title.

I'm also excited, but I believe he'd be an ideal competition/back up for David Silva. On current form, I'd play Sanchez as a replacement for Silva before Bernardo or Gundogan. However this doesn't mean Gundogan & B Silva aren't up to the job, because they clearly are. I suppose it comes down to personal preference.I'm not being myopic.

This is similar to who is more effective for City, David Silva or KDB? I'd opt for Silva every time, but that is no sleight on KDB's abilities because the margins are so fine, just as they are with Sanchez, Gundogan or B Silva.

Ideally I'd play him as one of the attacking midfielders first or out wide. I believe his versatility is good enough for him to be top class wherever he played.Well done visionary. And where would Sanchez play in a 4-1-2-3? In fact for fun why don’t you choose the starting 6 midfielders and forwards, imagining Sanchez was in our squad now.
In terms of having vision, I suppose you felt like ending it all when managers stopped picking David Silva in his 'preferred position' of Left Wing?
Let me explain this one last time for you. In our starting 11, David Silva starts. However if he didn't start & Sanchez was here, I think he's be best choice to replace him assuming KDB was already picked.
You believe that any midfielder we have would do a better job? OK, you stick to your position, however I see it totally different.
In terms of our starting 6 midfielders and forwards, it would be the same as it will probably be come Sunday, however I've said from very early in ths season that our success will come down to the strength of positions 12-18.
So let me ask you this. Who would you play in place of Fernandinho, D Silva & KDB?

Probably for the best mate. High level football just seems to be beyond your comprehension.Sorry mate stoppped reading after you said you’d start him out wide. Jesus wept.
I'm still having your house though! :-)
LolYou've spelt 'nit-picking' incorrectly.
Silva often plays close to the striker. Sanchez as an 8 is neither crazy or illogical. And he is 1000 tomes a better option than Yaya.As an example You’d play this:
Kdb dinho sanchez
Sterling Aguero sane
Over this:
Kdb dinho yaya
Sterling Aguero sane
I’m far from a yaya fan and think he’s done but in our system just think it’s ludicrous to play Sanchez there.
With Sanxhez's hustle, I'd likely play him ahead of Yaya in any position. But definitely ahead of Yaya at Silva's position.

I wouldn't bother. Logic is beyond our Bugsy.Silva often plays close to the striker. Sanchez as an 8 is neither crazy or illogical. And he is 1000 tomes a better option than Yaya.

Looks like football left him behind in the 18th century...
Psst! @Dribble stole all his ideas from me. :pHold on we can only have so many visionaries on Bluemoon mate and Dribble currently holds that title.
