Alexis Sanchez

[JC2]

Not sure why people are so concerned about sanchez's age and wanting younger players - sterling, Jesus and sane are all kids. We need another experienced forward. Sanchez is world class and can cover all of the forward positions if we can get him then we should

Wise words indeed.
Flappers please take note!

Totally agree.

Yeah, but he's nearly 30, losing/will soon lose some pace, never goes past his man any more, and there are better, younger, ones out there, all cheaper obviously....

I wouldn't mind either, but Marv seems to be making Alexis unnecessarily older too - he's 28, hardly over the hill.

he's 28

Its nearer 30 than 25 to be fair....

If Sanchez wants to come to City and isn't allowed by Arsenal then it's the latter who will suffer the most, £50M down the pan will hurt them; still hope we get him though

He also holds all the cards, as he can buy himself out of his contract. That's effectively what a transfer is anyway, the buying club are paying off the contract. Technically the money should come from the player but I doubt whether it's accounted for in that way.

He's nearer 27 than 30 to be fair.

I'd take Sanchez over Dembele, which I guess is how we have to look at it given the options (not that a signing of that nature is an urgent requirement)

Does Dembele have a yard of pace?
