Alexis Sanchez

[blueparrot]

Where does he play in our setup? He is not an out and out striker so presumably he takes Raheem's spot.

Other areas of team need work before this.

He doesn't take Sterlings, probably, NolIto and Iheanacho spots plenty of games for 5 to rotate. Other areas will be done at the same time don't only have to do one.

 

[Gabriel]

Sanchez and Jesus chasing down from the front and some fresh blood closing down from the midfield and full back positions, good luck everyone else.

 

[Jazzman]

He would be an aggressive leader on the field in addition to his playing qualities. We need that.

 

[Danny_Johnson4]

If he came, in one of the 2 8 positions he would be mental, scarily good.
The top players usually drop 10 yards deeper into the later stages of their career and I can see him doing crazy things linking up with Silva in that position
An absolute Bas*ard in the middle of the pitch too.

Can see it happening. But will that mean no Sergio?

I'd say it's pretty certain if Sanchez comes in Kun will be sold. But, we'd buy another number 9 too IMO.

I dont think so. I think to go to the next level we need them both!

I think they're so similar in their style that it'd be kinda pointless having them both and have one sat on the bench. Makes more sense to have one of them and then a different kind of 9 as an alternative. Someone a bit more physical potentially.

It does, my only doubt about selling Sergio is his assertion over the last few seasons he wants to see out his contract and go back to Argentina, so 2 seasons. If that's the case he may decide he doesn't want to sign a 4 or 5 year contract somewhere else which reduces his value for us to very little. I think they are different enough, Sergio is a centre forward and not much else but Sanchez playing centrally is his secondary position Aguero is the better finisher.

Also. It's entirely possible that i'm totally wrong and that in actual fact Sanchez will replace Navas/Nolito and won't effect Kun's position at all. That'd be hardcore if true in terms of squad building.

I really can't see any scenario in which anyone is happy if we have 2 of Aguero, Jesus, Sané, Sterling and Sanchez on the bench in every game. It's just not feasible.
