Sanchez would be a title-winning transfer. This is almost certainly an unpopular opinion to have, but I'd cash in on Sergio in order to sign Sanchez. I feel that Sergio will not get a lot of game time next season, particularly if we sign Sanchez.

No way B. Silva will be on the bench. He is so quality. In my opinion he will play more as a CM, AMC and 2 of Sane, Alexis and Sterling will be on the wingsThe way I see it, there are four main options for the forward three (with our current players) next season:
Sane - Aguero/Jesus - B. Silva
Sane - Aguero - Jesus
Sterling - Aguero/Jesus - B. Silva
Sane - Aguero - Sterling
Buying Sanchez would likely mean that in big games, Bernardo Silva, Sterling and one of Aguero and Jesus would be on the bench. This would not only stunt their development but would also be bad for team morale. A big squad with a lot of competition for places is a good thing, but you can only have a certain amount of rotation and there comes a point where it becomes counterproductive.

I think it wouldn't be unreasonable to suggest B.Silva drops deeper in a rotation with De Bruyne and Merlin. Then Sanchez takes the right wing spot in your suggested formations and when it's Sterling's turn to play, move Sanchez to left wing and give Sane a rest or play 3 at the back and have an extra attacker.
In other words I think we can accommodate 1 more attacker, 2 would be near on impossible without selling someone.

Not sure if serious.
Agreed, at the end of next season it's quite possible we'll have one or two that might want to move for more playing time.Maybe, but then someone else among Sane, David Silva and De Bruyne would be dropped. There's no way around how difficult it will be to keep everyone happy with their playing time even as is (without Sanchez)

Why? Did you not see what happened last season? Whether you like it or not, Pep clearly prefers Jesus as the central striker. Now imagine if he is forced to choose 2 out of Jesus, Sanchez, Sergio and Sterling. It's not difficult to see how Sergio is going to struggle for game time.

Why ?? He was superb towards the back end of the season and he showed exactly what Pep wanted of him.Some of your recent comments on various threads are simply so infuriating and I do wonder if you`re just trying to wind people up.Why?

Not a chance Aguero will be struggling for game time, unless he plays like shit, which is looking pretty unlikely the way he finished the season.
All the attacking players will have to accept being rested & Jesus will have to play as a wide striker on some occasions, to accomodate playing next to Aguero.
We wil probably see two up front in some games as well.

Pep was asked this question about playing two up front.He claimed that for some games it would happen,depending on who the opposition were and he showed that it can work.For anyone to think that Kun will get little game time is just bloody daft.As you rightly say he would have to be playing shit for that to happen.He now understands what he has to do,to not get dropped.But like everyone else he will get rested for some games.Not a chance Aguero will be struggling for game time, unless he plays like shit, which is looking pretty unlikely the way he finished the season.

Infuriating? You need to take it easy. He had a few good games towards the end of the season. The key in that phrase is "towards the end of the season". Do you genuinely believe that Pep will select Sergio ahead of Jesus and Sanchez in the big games? This is the manager that played De Bruyne up top against Barcelona in favour of Sergio. It seems that some people refuse to see the reality that is in front of them.

There was a period where he was missing a lot of chances & his legs looked as if they might be going. I could understand it if that had continued, but he proved pretty conclusively at the end of the season, that he can fit into Pep's system & also that he can lay on chances for Jesus.
He is also still the most proven goalscorer we have, even if Sanchez signs.

Pep will select Aguero without giving it a 2nd thought, if he feels he's the right man on any given day, which he will be, plenty.
I recon if 99% of opposing fans read the stuff you are posting rigt now, they would be reading it with their mouths open or shaking their heads.
They would all love to have Aguero, in their teams.

I don't think that you can draw conclusions from a couple of games at the end of the season. Anyway, we clearly have a differing of opinion so I'll leave it at that. We'll have to wait to see who will be proven correct.

It won't be you.
It won't be you.
For the record, I'd love to be proven wrong. But I think the chances of that are slim on this one.

If Aguero leaves, he won't play.
If he stays, he will play, a lot. To keep him & not use him would be really fucking stupid & Pep is not really fucking stupid.

And still Homar refuses to believe it.Sometimes it takes certain players time to adapt to a new role and IMO Sergio was one of those players, but it all came good for player,manager and the club.There was a period where he was missing a lot of chances & his legs looked as if they might be going.
