Alexis Sanchez

Sorry mate it was tactical. Gladbach away was a joke.

I've said this before to you Bill, last season it was as if Pep had a noose around his neck with the fullbacks we had in the squad, they're so important to his system. All four fullbacks we're over the age of 32 and the need to constantly rotate due to age and fitness, let him get "his" fullbacks in place and watch the energy and fluidity of our play change. All i'm saying is if we hit our targets which is looking more likely each day then just sit back and watch it unfold before your eyes.....enjoy!

Because Aguero was coming off an injury. Whether Alexis has kicked a ball for us or not is irrelevant. If Messi was this heavily rumoured to join id be saying he'd be the best player at the club.

A bit like Toress when the Chavs bought the leagues best player? Absolute nonsense to suggest someone who hasnt kicked aball for us will be our best player.

I've been reading quotes from Wenger, all week, which said the player's 'won't be leaving' & this morning I've read what appear to be the exact same quotes, but this:

‘This summer, first of all, they will stay at the club and hopefully we can extend their contract,’ Wenger said.

‘You know, you cannot weaken the club and weaken the team. We want to strengthen the team…unless you find a player of the same calibre and they absolutely want to leave. I believe that at the moment we are not on that front. We are just focused on keeping the team together and see how to strengthen the team.

I've not seen that line before, so either he didn't say it, or, the reports I've seen edited it out, & then you have to wonder exactly why it was edited out.

Yeah he's started adding that caveat. Seems to be if Mahrez, James or Lacazette drops for them, then blue cones are out.

Could anyone post a link to what this Chilean journo has to say. Thanks in advance.

A typical Bayern bench this season would contain Kingsley Coman, Douglas Costa, Juan Bernat and Thomas Muller. Quite the step up from Navas, Nolito, Kolarov and Iheanacho don't you think? That's what he have to strive towards.

I agree with this although Aguero was sill banging them in for us last season just maybe you could see that City's attack was not as sharp as it has been in days gone by

I agree mate, however that's what pissed me off about Pep (and Txiki) last season - EVERY City fan on planet earth knew our fullbacks were either wank or over the hill, it was flagrant disregard to not strengthen either side in either window - I said in Jan that even signing Bertrand then would have given the second half of our season a lift.

Yes but you are talking about sides like Bayern and real madrid who totally dominate their leagues. They can accrue the best players in their squads and their players are happy because they play for a totally dominant side who will win their league and be in Cup Finals. Can you confidently say that about City? You can hope it, but I bet Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal, SPurs, Liverpool fans are all hoping the same for their clubs.

Can you imagine if we signed Mbappe and Sanchez...Raheem wouldn't even make the bench :)

I'm saying that we're aiming to be that side who totally dominate our league and we're in a better position than anyone to become one.
