Alexis Sanchez

Sanchez in addition to what we have is not worth more than £20m in terms of a transfer fee due to being available on a free in the summer.

Now the only reason why we would pay anything higher (Arsenal want £30-35m if reports are believed?!) would be if there was a shock on the cards with an outgoing and of our front 4: Kun, Jesus, Sterling, Sane - you'd have to say due to age and the least adapted to Pep's tactics it would be Kun. I don't expect Sanchez to come in, but if he does, Sergio may find playing time more limited.

A purely hyperthetical/playing devil's advocate here: If Sanchez and Isco could be obtained for the price of a Kun, thinking of the future, what would you choose?

It all comes down to if you are sure you can get him in the summer for nothing, we did get burnt last summer with one of these. As for a Kun Sanchez-Isco move love Agüero but it comes down to this Pep doesn't seem to rate him very highly so IF Pep is here long term then yes... If he isn't its not quite as simple

In all seriousness, I don’t think his signing will disrupt us to the tune of dropping 15 points (and losing those games by 5 goals each) in the second half of the season.

As @cadds92 points out above, Sanchez is a very good fit to our system and imagine will be more of a happy clapper than anyone in the squad.

My only worry is whether or not it will impact the development/morale of Sane, Foden, and/or Diaz, which is a long term concern.

Does it matter ?

Our team will improve by buying new members as well as developing our own. If our own are not ready to compete with the improving team surely we should not pick them in preference to our best team. I am certain when their time comes they can and will compete but both routes must be taken rather than relying on just one of them.

we don't need isco anymore as we have bernie and alexis is the same age as sergio so i'd stick,i do want alexis and hopefully in jan,he would rotate mainly with sane and as striker not very often so he cant be classed as a striker and replace a proper striker
 
People are being short sighted. Buy Sanchez in Jan. Do it early so he isn't cup tied and then use him in cup and league games. We have a real chance to win the CL this season. Bayern are in transition, Barca are beatable, Real too. PSG will bottle it. With Sanchez we can rotate more and save for CL.

My money is on arsene digging his heels in and not letting him come to us but would sell him abroad in jan
 
I'm sure Alexis can easily walk into the starting 11 as a striker/false 9 and offer more that Aguero and Jesus in their current form. Otherwise City would get in trouble in CL knockouts, last season it was Aguero who bottled second leg vs Monaco being too wasteful. Jesus is a good alternative, but his scoring form isn't great right now.
