If not Sanchez, then who ? or would you go into a 60 game season with 4 players for 3 positions ?

Who are your 4 players for 3 positions? I guess front 3 and players are Aguero, Sane, Sterling, Jesus? If so I think we would have Roberts in the squad and you also have to factor in that any 1 of Silva, B Silva and KDB can play in a front. I don't think we are short up top. I'd still take Sanchez though.

Yesterday saw Cross doing Arsenals dirty work in hanging the payers out to dry and today we see keown doing the same......
This is going to happen ;-)

they let Arsenal down in the period when they lost twice to Bayern Munich, conceding 10 goals
Of course they did sunshine, did they play centre back? Get a silly red card?
Well I guess I will just have to accept City signing the best and most influential player in the Premier league.If not Sanchez, then who ? or would you go into a 60 game season with 4 players for 3 positions ?

They could all play a role in the front 3 I agree, but if we got to Feb / March and either Jesus or Aguero got injured then the other one would have to play centrally every game, Sane, Sterling, Roberts and the 2 Silvas couldn't fill in centrally without a big drop off at the crucial hopefully busiest part of the Season Sanchez could. Plus if Bernardo Silva is being relied on to cover the front 3 it leaves us short for resting Silva as well and we saw the drop off this season when he wasn't available.Who are your 4 players for 3 positions?

I don't see it the same way. Last season we had Navas in the mix and we did not have Jesus for the whole season. If you take Navas out and assume that B Silva fill's that slot then we have improved the quality significantly. Then you factor in that with Jesus we essentially an additional player that could fit in anywhere across the front 3.
On a like for like we are basically one player up and one player has been significantly upgraded. Nacho might leave but then he hardly played so numbers wise we are good as it stands and with Sanchez we probably have 1 too many but that is generally where managers like to be.

It's true though, both of those players were as guilty of throwing the towel in as any other player.

But no more guilty. Silly to single them out.It's true though, both of those players were as guilty of throwing the towel in as any other player.
Seems they expect Bayern to pay around €41-43m for him, which is an absolute bargain in today's market. Perhaps not surprising City would have to add on at least another 10m, but Arsenal being so willing to let him go, and eat the negative publicity, way under value is still ridiculous.
It all hinges on Bayern's willingness to pay his wages and/or if Alexis continues to push for City. Neither being a gimme, you'd have to wonder if Pep has a fallback.
