Alexis Sanchez

It's a team game IMHO he adds to the team. He could be the diffrence of one or two trophys or three or four

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

That’s cos they are rotated. They are not top scorers because they switch unlike Jesus Kane who plays every game. Imagine what would happen if they were rotated in a 3. I also don’t think sterling or Sané are doing bad supported by Bernardo.

When you are on a winning streak like ours I don’t understand the risk of upsetting the chemistry .he is a great player but our team spirit seems great why risk that.

Is it not better to be proactive rather than reactive?
The performances are good now, but that does not serve as a guarantee for the remainder of the season. If we started dropping points in the league, got knocked out of the UCL and one or both of the domestic cups due to an inability to deal with fixture congestion then delaying Sanchez until the summer will look like really poor management. We have the chance to reinforce the squad with a genuine world-class player for what is peanuts in today's market. To pass that up because things are going well in this moment would be insane.

Lets sign him and mario back. Everyone will be so fucked off that mario is back causing trouble that sanchez will be seen as a great guy and no harmony issues :)

So because they are rotated it prevents them from scoring goals,it's nothing to do with rotation it's due to them not putting away the chances they are being given,look at the last game Sergio missed plenty of chances and what if one or both get injured in next few months,yes he's needed in my eye's not everybody else's but there your views

Given we only have two strikers,and we are entering the latter stages of top competitions,in a very congested season......then leaving his signing until the summer is anything but a 'no brainer'.

The player would bring extra energy and dimension to a team that needs to keep up this incredible momentum.

Get him signed asap,more silverware will follow.

ITK?

Can't find anything about same league transfer apart from football manager forum posts

You didn’t try very hard then:

Quite a few different sources referring to the rule there.

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 personally think Bernardo would welcome Sanchez, as you say he's currently being used to fill in for Sterling and Sane but with Sanchez's arrival he'd be utilised as rotation with Spanish Dave and KDB where I think his game is best suited. Those that think he's too lightweight and slow for this position please don't write him off just yet. Spanish Dave is obviously irreplaceable but cast your minds back when he first arrived in the Premier League everyone was saying the same about him and given time he transformed into the player he is now.

The league is ours already, therefore, I don't think we need to splash 50 mil on a player who will be available for free in the summer. Mendy is out until April/May which means we won't play 3-5-2 until Mendy is fit again. As we are playing 4-3-3 now, there is no urgency in spending 50 mil because this system requires only one recognized striker. Sanchez is world class and would improve us but it would be wise to save those 50mil and spend them to buy a world class defender.
