Alexis Sanchez

[geoff clipp]

Nearly 60 games a season, possibly more. 6 midfield and attacking positions in a 4 at the back system. Possibly 7 midfield and attacking spots in a 3 at the back formation.

We'll get injuries, we'll get suspensions and more likely we'll go gung-ho in more than a few matches.

Can't pass on a player as good as Sanchez.

Wait till Mbappe joins and we revolutionise the 2 at the back formation.

I do get your point but what happens if they're all fit for a major game or a cup final? They will all be expecting to play and it will create unrest no matter what.

Pep will 'manage' the risk

Well we'll have to wait and see, but for me it's getting a bit silly on these forums when you look at the kind of players people are suggesting would join us to sit on the bench.

Get Vinny and Ota to kick the lads that aren't being picked in training, make them miss it with a knock.

You play which ever players are in the best form and that way your decision is justified.

Real have Kovacic, Kroos, Modric, Casemiro, Isco, James, Bale, Ronaldo, Benzema, Morata, 10 for 6 positions.

Bayern had Kimmich/Lahm, Vidal, Thiago, Sanches, Muller, Costa, Robben, Ribery, Coman, Lewandowski, 10 for 6 positions.

Barca have Busquets, Rakitic, Iniesta, Denis Suarez, Turan, Gomes, Messi, Neymar, Suarez, Alcacer 10 for 6 positions.

We have, Dinho, Yaya, Gundogan, Sterling, Sane, D.Silva, B.Silva, KDB, Aguero, Jesus, 10 for possibly 7 positions. Sanchez would mean 3 at the back, so 11 for 7. Plus Dinho could be a defender, Yaya won't play every game, Gundogan injured. Means more likely 9 for 6/7 positions.

It's not that bad.

He seemed to manage the situation quite well at Barca and Bayern don't you think?

Jesus, I've forgotten what it's like to have all our best player fit and jostling for a place in a big game!
It'll be a lovely problem to have I reckon.

So Stones, VK, Otta, Walker, Mendy, Kolorov, Mendy and most want another centre half means 8 into 3 in that case.
