Alexis Sanchez

[Akiva]

I just don't think that he's got the legs to be running the channels the entire game anymore. I could be wrong though.

You're wrong, and that you keep posting this inane bullshit, that has been debunked multiple times by multiple posters on here, is getting exceedingly tiresome.

There's no maybe about it, it's why he's being bought, a fluid front 5 that is interchangable, it's why I kind of agree on the aguero assertion, however, as stated by others, aguero looked a completely different player the last 10 games, seemingly able to do it to the level expected,.. the Watford game if anything showed he's chomping at the bit... I'm expecting his biggest season in a city shirt before he walks off like John Wayne.....

People seem to be discounting sterling for example, he'll play countlessly as the knock on effect from two quality fullbacks will reveal what a good few have been shouting from the rooftops, a little hidden gem. He's looked awkward at times when switching flanks, this won't be the case going forward!!

The last Aguero's game vs meaningful opposition was City-Utd, and it was like this:

Oh, I agree completely that in the last couple of games he looked extremely good. I just made the point that you can't form a conclusion from two games when all the other games lead you to draw a contradictory conclusion. Anyway, it seems that we do not disagree on this.

Again, I'm singing from the same hymn sheet. Sterling grew tired towards the ends of the season, but for the rest of it he was excellent. Nothing like the player we saw under Pellegrini, who I believe just did not know how to use him. It's one of the reasons that I can see competition amongst that front three to be fierce. So many people seem to be assuming that Sterling won't play (or will play very little).

I've been thinking that on and off the pitch Alves could have a great impact on Sterling. Possibly more than anyone else

Mate that's an awful way to advertise stagecoach...

It's not even applicable to his game as the whole point of this discussion is the fluidity of the front 3(5), it even highlights thatmhe has created the space in behind but the players on the pitch at the time didnt exploit it, how's that agueos fault??

Sorry but 1.3/10 for the vid..

Among other positives but definitely whomever is wide right

Definitely off it as the top players bring self belief, it's the one factor missing from Sterling. He's admittedly gravitated towards yaya, this isn't because he likes his vintage Diet Coke cellar, but because psychologically we surround ourselves with those who can impact us positively, it points towards what I already knew, Sterling is hungry to learn and another person to help that will only help city in the long term...

Alves would be perfect in that regard. He is by all accounts a complete weirdo (in a lovable way) who doesn't give a shit about what people think of him. He dresses outrageously, he posted a video of him wearing a wig and pretending to be his ex-wife, he's brutally honest in interviews, he takes things into his own hands if he thinks he needs to...he's completely unapologetic about being himself.

I would love for that to rub off on Sterling who like you say, is a kid who seems to lack the confidence to just do what he's capable of, show off a bit, humiliate a fullback, demand the ball. Every now and then take a shot first time because you fancy it and it sits up, not look to see if you can set a more senior player up first.

Potentially our best signing of the summer if he can deliver that mentor/leadership role as well. I only hope his enlgish is good enough.

I've heard it's almost as good as Ya Ya's Mancurian.....
