To play as well has he has, to get to his level and play with the intensity he does you have to be giving absolutely everything and be right on the cusp of boiling over. I think most/all players can only give that for so long and be let down by the cowards around them before theyve had enough. We've seen it with De bruyne lately - little signs of almost boiling over, but that's just cos hes playing at his absolute maximum, competing with everything he's got. I reckon if you put Kev or anyone similar in a situation to what Sanchez has had you'd see the attitude dip and/or the form drop. It's very different to the attitude shown by the likes of Ozil and Nasri for example - poncey little wimps with no bottle who should be avoided.
On top of that he's got the promised land - Pep and our team playing the way we are, waiting right here for him with open arms. Hurry up Alexis lad, if you need a lift up gimme a shout
Good post.
I see many arguing to get him in the free in the summer. Sounds like nice but I would prefer to have Sanchez in January. Think we will win the league without him but anything more and he is needed. Will be crucial in the CL and cups.
We absolutely need him. We have 4 players for 3 positions, one injury or drop in form and we fall off. Look at Napoli, Mertens, Callejon, Insigne, Milik. 4 for 3 positions, Milik suffers serious injury and now Napoli have the same front 3 starting every single game. It’s not an ideal scenario.
If we want to go to the end in all competitions we are in, Sanchez is 100% percent needed.
