I really do hope we are not going to go back for Alexis. I watched all of last night's game and Alexis worked like a lion chasing everything, but he couldn't hurt Cologne with his dribbling it was just all out effort and mostly passing. He scored a wonder goal, because he's got fantastic technique but his pace has gone. He's going to be a midfielder for Arsenal. I think he'll have a decent season, but his career is coming to an end, and he's not a player that a potential title winning side should buy.

If you just see the clip of the goal, you'll think wonderful player. And of course he has wonderful technique, but if you watch the whole game you'll see him desperately trying to make an impression and struggling to do it. I admire him, but that doesn't mean we should buy him

Or could it be hes not in a good physical condition because of lack of game time?

He is 28 in his prime ! His career isn't ending. Last year he had 24 goals and 10 assists in the premier league, which I think is the highest total of anyone. He wasn't even played as a striker in more than 50-60% of the games as far as I remember. You don't lose pace or dribbling in 4 months !
 
It really seems like it's just a matter of time before he joins us. And even Madrid might not be able to change that. It just shows how much pulling power we have.

Who wouldn't want to play with likes of Jesus, KDB, Bernardo, Silva etc....?

At the same time, watching us these first few weeks. Makes me wonder where Sanchez would have played against Liverpool and Feyenoord, had we got him on deadline day? It's not like we have been lacking in attacking options.

Wrote similar about Messi, bollock then, same now.
 
I think Sanchez has got probably 3 good seasons in him before he declines , given the type of player he is, and now we've missed one of those peak years.

Signing him next summer would be a very short term measure but it'd be a 4 year deal probably.
