Alexis Sanchez

[domalino]

Sterling, Sané & Jesus are the long term future of the club - as Pep said himself.

Aguero & Sanchez are for the here and now, they'll be around for 2 or 3 seasons, and then they'll be off.

In the meantime the kids have room to grow into world class players, the club isn't dependent on 20 year olds being world class 60 games a season, and they have 2 incredible forwards to learn off.

Guardiola is going to juggle the 5 of them, it'll be a bit tricky, some ego's might get bruised every now and then but as long as he keeps it fair and we win things, it'll work.

Transfermarkt counts penalties won as assists so it's not the most reliable in terms of stats

Winning a penalty is full deserving of an assist, there isn't a more clear cut chance you can create.

yep that's fine.......if he is loaned out but then plays for city after that date I will pay u out

Tugay let me if u are having the same bet

Absolutely mate but I'll go for the deadline of December 8th 2019 if that's okay?

Asensio was never part of their youth team. He was purchased from Mallorca.

Apologies my mistake. He was still signing for a very low fee as a teenager so he has a different expectation to that of a 40m Sane or a 50m sterling.

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.

100% spot on.

Winning a penalty is full deserving of an assist, there isn't a more clear cut chance you can create.

Plus he should of had many more, Raheem seems to get so much less protection from refs than Hazard for example.

Bloody hell Bill, you have given the early leaver brigade something to hand their coats on :)

Actually you may just be right. Why stay when after we've played like city for 70 mins we turn in to United.

Sterling is not a top player and I am willing to bet anyone he is not at the club by time he is 25

Are you having a laugh really??

47 games played 10 goals AND 21 assists in all competitions says he is as vital to us in the future as anybody else that is at the club now, i find it bloody odd at how underrated some see sterling.

 

[Rammyblues]

IMO if Sanchez arrives his name will be first on team sheet along with Ederson and Bernardo Silva and will only be rotated when they need a rest/suspended/injured.

But Mario, Dzeko, Tevez, were all gone in 4 seasons. Boateng even less time. How long did Sanchez & Fabregas last at Barca ?

Nothing is certain.

Yep fair comparison and all those contributed massively for us. Point was mainly about sterling I feel if puts those stats like last season in every season happy to rested he wont be going anywhere. Think Dzeko had enough of being the bench man in the last 2 seasons at city and you can understand why he eventually wanted to leave.
