Alexis Sanchez

Sane is best played out wide where he can use his lightning pace to go past defenders. He is really an out-and-out winger. Sanchez likes to drift inside, which makes him ideal for when Mendy is in the team. The two are near polar opposites and they'd both get plenty of game time. It will come down to the opposition. But I see Sanchez rotating not only with Sane, but also with Sergio, Jesus, Sterling and Bernardo. No one particular player is under threat. If they want to play then they have to perform and the same would apply for Sanchez.
 
You could say the same about our CB position then, would it not be "rocking the boat" for Kompany, Stones, Otamendi and Tosin if we purchase another CB?

If you stand still you'll never strengthen, when quality like this comes around at a bargain price you buy it, January is the perfect time in my opinion because if we wait until the summer we won't be the only team sniffing around. We'll soon find out if it's a good or bad decision.
Well tosin has no premier league experiance and kompany is always injured.

I wouldnt say no to sanchez but when it is already clear sergio isnt exactly thrilled with being on the bench every two or three games it will be fascinating to see how pep juggles the squad. We could potentially have a bench of gundogan, bernardo, jesus and sane. Cant think of a side in world football who has ever had that type of deph maybe aside from the current psg side although they will sell a few this window.

Having said i still dont see sanchez coming this window. I reckon arsenal would rather keeep him and try and get top 4.

Exactly, Sanchez can play anywhere along the front line hence the reason Pep wants him
 
I didn't want Sanchez because I wanted Sane & Sterling to develop, which they have, but imo, all the attackers are suffering from the incredible amount of physical & mental effort they have put into this run. In actual fact, wheras he might have been a spare part for most of the season, we could have done with Sanchez this week, when all are a little bit jaded.

A new spark is not essential, but it could be pretty fucking good.

It may cause a bit of resentment from Sergio in particular, if he has to miss out more, but with a Premier League title dangling like a ripe peach, plus a possible crack at the Champions League, & two cups, would you really want to sulk & risk missing out on it all, or would you rather fight for your place & do your whinging in May, once it's all in the bag ?

Imo, the player most worried should be Bernardo Silva, anyhow. He is very much a 'stand in' for Sane, Sterling etc right now wheras Sanchez would be a genuine alternative, not a 'stand in'. Sanchez could eclipse him completely if he hit the top form immediately.

Also, if you were looking for a player to adapt, drop back & do the kind of new baldy toughnut playmaker job David Silva now does, Sanchez is a much tougher unit, than Bernardo & has been trained already by Pep, so imo there could be another string to this bow IF it happens.

No lose either way now for me. We are great with or without him.
 
I do think we need him due to Sergio or Jesus not really ripping it up at the moment,sterling being top scorer shows this.so his versatility is much needed in these last few months of the season
