Alexis Sanchez

[MarsLlama]

If Pep wans him now what would you pay? I would not want to pay more than £20m.
However I don't see him as vital for us and would rather look elsewhere for younger player

We already have Sané, Sterling, Jesus and Bernardo. That's four of our five strikers who are 23 or younger. Two older players won't hurt, and the extra experience could be great for squad balance.

I'm still pessimistic. I think Arsenal will f**k this up again. I said on September 1st that by January everyone would be saying how incompetent it was of them not to sell to us when they could and I think at the end of May everyone will be saying the same thing.

I couldn't give a @@@@ what we pay it's not me paying. If we paid 100m tomorrow I wouldn't give a toss I don't get why people are so bothered about what we pay.

Something tells me Marvin isn’t convinced by this signing. Not sure why I get that feeling.

 

[PragueBlue]

I wouldn't swop Leroy with any other player.

Same here.

Just for clarity I was just talking about the Bristol game Sterlings lack of movement and the need for Sanchez , so it's not to be confused with the Jonny Evans or any other defender we may be after.
The message I received although slightly cryptic was it's happening and it was happening as we speak

Hopefully mate I'd love to see him with us before trip to anfield but looks unlikely

Because it sends out wrong signals; why pay premium for players that doesnt require it? Just because we have money doesnt mean we should spend it unwisely .. think of Bony, Roque Santa Cruz etc

On paper Bony was worth that amount of money but he was utilised horribly and signed without much thought. Sanchez will definitely fit into our system.

Bony & RSC should never be spoken about in the same sentence as Alexis Sanchez. But again people worry about what others think I couldn't careless.

I too get the impression he is coming to fill in for sane and put him under pressure for his place, Sterling too.

He also gives us an option to replace kun if needed. I quite like that we have an interchangeable forward line, gives us flexibility.

But I do hope Sanchez stops moaning at his team m8s and telling them where to pass and run, it's a team game with city, its not just about Sanchez.

I don’t remember him moaning at Barca. This City team is a huge step up in quality, our team has 11 world class players, Arsenal have/had 2 (Alexis and Ozil). That’s where the frustration comes from, pishing into a stiff breeze over the past couple of seasons, he’s well pissed off.

Bottom line is he will know he has to bring his A-game to get a decent amount of game time, he’ll have plenty of respect for his team mates going forward.

11's a bit much! We have Ederson, Otamendi, Silva, De Bruyne and Aguero. Maybe Fernandinho.
