Alexis Sanchez

Here's a question.

Is he the best player in the world who's actually available?

Yes, by some distance

 

[Salfordian Blue]

Sané, Sterling and Bernardo on the bench?

For some games, yeah. Just like Aguero, Sanchez and Jesus will be on it for others.
We seem to be building a squad to compete at the highest level, not just a great first team.

Along with players who are versatile, Pep likes players who can play 2/3 different positions

Even factoring in rotation still don't see enough games for everyone if we added him and only lost Navas, Kelechi, and Nolito from our attacking options. Aguero would probably have to leave. IMO

Likely to play 60 plus games next season. Injuries, suspensions and players needing rest will mean we require another striker/winger. KDB and Sterling played 47/48 games and looked it at times towards the end. For the front 3 or 4 positions we have Aguero, Jesus, Sane and Sterling as it stands, possibly Bernardo to cover, although I think he's better as the number 10. I think we need one more personally, Sanchez would be amazing and could play anywhere upfront in various formations

I really don't think you can use rotation as an excuse to squeeze in yet another attacker. If we didn't sign Silva then yeah I'd get it but there is no way Pep can keep everyone happy if we also get Sanchez. For one Sanchez is incredibly fit and could and would probably demand to play the majority of the games, Aguero won't be happy playing second fiddle, Sane, Jesus and Sterling would need games for their development and the two Silva's are too good to leave out too often. It just doesn't work.

Plus we have a GK, full backs, midfielder and possibly a CB to buy and Sanchez would be an expensive buy. The only possible way I can see it happening is if we sold Aguero but he's staying.

 

[Blue Coop]

I saw it before Silva, because I could see Pep giving Sterling a rotation role, but I cant see it anymore. Just my take.

You would have to say so.

With only one year left on his contract someone could get a bargain because if he had 2 or 3 years left I reckon he would have a £60m-£70m fee on his head.

 

[avoidconfusion]

Is this one actually likely? Would Arsenal really sell him to us?

 

[El Ingeniero de Noruega]

Just to get all in on him. He has been outstanding in the FA cup final so far.....
