Alexis Sanchez

[GeekinGav]

part of me resents him for when he used us to get a better contract at Barca when he was at Udinese and had no intention of joining us at the time. is a great player, but in a mediocre Arsenal side, he can walk around for 90 mins and still look world class in that side.

i'd say yes if we desperately needed him, but we dont so not following this with much vigor unlike the Mendy and Fabinho ones where we need those positions more importantly.

 

[cadds92]

Agreed. Gonna be very hard though, can see this last all summer

It's this summers inevitable saga.

He is the best available player on the market and could be obtained at a very reasonable price in relative regards to his ability.

The lad would be a £70m player had he had 2 or 3 years left in his contract.

 

[GeekinGav]

If we can convince him to join us and get him to force a move I reckon £45m will buy him. £50m max.

I will be surprised if any club will spend more than £50m on him with one year left.

well, Arsenal tried that gamble with Suarez which backfired spectacularly

if not sanchez, we need to go on Aubameyang .

if not sanchez, we need to go on Aubameyang .

And make sure he makes peace with the goal posts prior to joining us.

How can anyone not want him?

A top player and an improvement on Sane and Sterling, I know we have big hopes for them but right now they are simply not on the level of Sanchez, G. Jesus could possibly be included in that group but its too early to tell. Sanchez and Aguero are roughly on the same level and buying Sanchez is a massive power move from us. When Pep said he we need to buy goals, I hope he was talking about Sanchez because by buying him we are buying goals, simple as that. One of the most consistent players in the league and like another poster said Arsenal are midtable without him this season. Easily worth 50m, you buy him, you buy the title. And these ideas of players not getting enough game time is ridiculous. Everyone will play due to Pep's Rotation and we'll finally have some game changing subs on the bench.

I won't be too reliant on B.Silva, Sterling, Sané to score that many goals though. Alexis Sanchez scored more goals plus four than those three combined.

We had a minimum period of 7 consecutive goals scored by 7 different players near the end of the season, if the team are scoring goals and winning then individual figures aren't as important.

 

[domalino]

Really what about Griezman?

I think Sanchez is a better player in his current form, he's also going to cost half the price and is already well setttled in the country and speaks the language etc.

Not a bad trade off for being 2 years older.

The arrival of Bernardo Silva has not altered Pep's determination to reunite with Alexis, who prefers City to Bayern. [@MullockSMirror]

Simon Mullock claiming that Sanchez is still a target despite Bernardo Silva signing.

Simon Mullock has a bit of an in at City doesn't he?
