Why is it obvious?It’s so obvious he is coming in January.
Played great yesterday and I’d expect him to do the same against Utd in a few weeks time...effectively killing off both teams title challenge before he even kicks a ball for us.
There must be something wrong with my eyesight then,
I thought he rang himself into the ground, but 2-3 times 2nd half he was put through and outrun each time illustrating the point I've made for most of the Summer.
Kun would not have. I think Jesus would have. He probably would be re-invigorated by a move. If it happens, I hope he is.because Kun and Jesus would obviously have been able to outpace the 6 ft 2 strapping CB athlete known as Davinson Sanchez.
He worked his arse off yesterday, and if he played in a team which used his work-rate and skills more efficiently and effectively (i.e. ours) then it would bring a whole new level out of him again.

City are playing some spectacular football ourselves, and have players like B Silva who are struggling for games. Alexis is in my opinion coming to the end of his career as a wide forward and you can see that in his game, or at least I saw those features in his game at the Emirates yesterday. I think Sanchez from one or two years ago would have ruthlessly punished Spurs on the counter yesterday, and if we are considering bringing him to City we should consider that.
City at leciester broke at lightening pace with Sane, Sterling and Jesus supported by De Bruyne et al. I don't think sanchez fits that. You are welcome to think otherwise of course.

Sanchez is more Messi/Hazard like in his wide approach as opposed to Sane, Sterling, Bale & Ronaldo (fake) who have power & blistering pace from out wide.Kun would not have. I think Jesus would have. He probably would be re-invigorated by a move. If it happens, I hope he is.

Relative to other players: Defenders overtook him. I haven't seen him directly alongside Sane and Sterling but when you see City on the counter-attack, few keep pace with Sane and Sterling. 2nd half at the Emirates, Arsenal were just playing on the counter-attack and picking off Spurs high line. They had several counter-attacks with sanchez to the fore. More or less every time defenders just ate into the advantage he had. My impression was that when Sanchez was at Udinese and barcelona, and when first at Arsenal, very few defenders could keep pace with sanchez, but that I think has changed, and given his age I think it will get worse and takes away some of the effectiveness in his game. He's still a technically gifted player, but I prefer all our forwards over him. I can't give you a metric other than general observations that he doesn't seem able to beat defenders one for one any more and when played through into space behind a defence, defenders catch him up.Sanchez is more Messi/Hazard like in his wide approach as opposed to Sane, Sterling, Bale & Ronaldo (fake) who have power & blistering pace from out wide.
B Silva is in the group which includes Messi, Hazard & Sanchez. They have a different approach to playing out wide which causes defences differing types of problems, which can be equally as effective. So why do you keep classing Sanchez as a player he's never been?
Also I have Arsenal v Spurs recorded from yesterday. I saw a few balls played in front of Sanchez that he wasn't favourite to get, similar to balls played to Jesus & Sane yesterday. Does this mean Jesus & Sane have also 'lost a yard of pace' too? Can you tell me which minutes Sanchez didn't reach balls that a 20 year old Jesus would have?
Also, you still haven't explained what is meant by 'lost a yard of pace' or how you'd measure this metric.
For the avoidance of doubt, your eyesight is OK with me. I accept you see the world of football through different eyes, as most of us do on BM.
