Alexis Sanchez

[@BluePhil8]

You could also say that Chelsea got a younger Eden Hazard for just over £30m that summer, and they didn't win the league.

Which team was better off in the long run and which signing was better value?

We are fine long term. Sometimes you also need short term solutions.

This deal needs to get done this month. Sanchez at his best is unstoppable

Oh I agree, Alexis would be an excellent signing. I was just making a point. Sané, Sterling, Jesus, Bernardo, Stones, Mendy, Ederson etc we've been thinking forward for sure.

If he was at the Etihad it would have leaked somewhere , who was the last player to turn up without being spotted ?

Benjani

Just posting to get the Sanchez thread above the JFE thread, good for morale

He becomes leass of an asset, to both City & Arsenal, at the end of the season imo.

They can get money for him now, & save his wages but he is likely to be less influential if they keep him & maybe unpopular with team mates, he walks for free in the summer & they could instead maybe bring in a fresh player now to inspire the squad.

We get an extra player now, who could be very influential when we are in 4 competitions & it is actually possible to win all of them, wheras we could sign anybody else we wanted, in the summer, it needn't be Sanchez .

Makes sense to get it done now, for both clubs & the player.

Agree entirely.

RVP situaution was different as at the time we had four strikers and I believe he wanted to play every game.

You're quite right in terms of our own situation. I actually meant it reminded me of the rags signing RVP. It was probably only ever going to work in the short term - and indeed that's the way it worked out.

 

[sir baconface]

He means from Utd's point of view.

Signing RVP was a big move for them, but short term.

Just seen this after replying to foggy. Thanks - that's exactly what I did mean.

I think he looks pretty decent.
