Alexis Sanchez

[MCFC1993]

Sterling and stones really need to up their game this season for me

So you get fucked off at people criticising Sergio (which I haven't seen on here today) and then you criticise Sterling, who put in better performances last season than pretty much everyone bar Silva!

 

[BlueDeadHead]

As attacking players go it'd make more sense to get rid of Sterling rather than Aguero. Just as from a defensive perspective it'd make more sense to get rid of Stones rather than Mangala. But they are English and supposedly full of untapped potential so therefore logic must be suspended.

What. The. Fuck.

 

[Jonsilfab]

What. The. Fuck.

Just the usual from him.

 

[HellasLEAF]

Anyone else would rather we just spend at CB and give Foden a longer look?

Even if he doesn't play much at that age, feels like a crowded midfield worth of quality players all needing starts.

 

[bluealf]

Perhaps Pep is fed up of our strikers having plenty of chances yet failing to hit the target area most of the time. When the target area is hit we get our share of goals but those who shoot, all of them are inaccurate or at least were last season.
Not once not twice but chronically throughout the season.

Is this Jesus we are talking about still ?

 

[bluealf]

There is no guarantee he will hit a purple patch like that next season, I hope he does and I have confidence he will but I would rather we had Sanchez in the mix as well than just thinking we are fine with Aguero who is one tackle away to being out for months never mind the others.

On that score there is no guarantee that Sanchez will come in and score either then is there, what a stupid analogy.
Jesus gets called out for not scoring enough goals, plainly he scored nearly a goal a game, don't recall him missing to many chances either but the argument moves on to he "may not" score enough next season and we need Sanchez, well that is laughable.

Notice how I never said anything about the other two players named as guilty for missing chances, which was pretty much why I posted in the first place, Jesus should not have been included in the misses to many chances category.

So there are rumours about Lemar closing on Arsenal and a possible transfer next week. That's good, right?

i think he is back from hi holibobs as well. I will book him in for a transfer to us a week on friday then :-)

Foden is a midfielder, Sanchez is a forward.

Foden is a midfielder, Sanchez is a forward.

Foden does play RW for England though, wouldn't surprise me if when he does get put in the senior team, he gets some time outback there where he's got more time and space than in the middle.

I think the # of senior players is more important than the quality for Foden and co to get their chance. We're gonna have a squad of 20 so it's possible to give him chances - it's when there's 22,23,24 players that the youth get pushed out.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

We still want Sanchez this window.

It's this window or not at all for Pep.

Him and Mbappe.

Does that infer that Pep is under time pressure and will not extend his contract?

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Does that infer that Pep is under time pressure and will not extend his contract?

I think more a take it or leave it to Arsenal.

surely signing the next generation of superstar in the likes of sane, jesus, mbappe, b. silva, mendy will be done as the club will say to pep we do this you stay for 5 years and make this team amazing?

 

[Blue Llama]

No PL team will give a 17 year old an extended run of any kind. Best the lad can hope for is a couple of bench places in PL, then cup games against teams below mid table in Championship or a run out when the result is nailed on. Lets not get carried away and see Foden and a possible Sanchez competing for the same place.

 

[domalino]

Does that infer that Pep is under time pressure and will not extend his contract?

I think it just implies that the team is being built today, we aren't going to wait a year to have the dream team.

 

[TonyBookEnd]

Not worried, just a question really. I hope he stays and builds the greatest team in football history, but he is his own man and he does burn himself out emotionally and tactically. I just hope at City, we've created the right conditions for him to stay longer.

Why Arsenal would be mad not to sell Alexis Sanchez this summer

Arsenal to make increased £45 million bid for Monaco midfielder Thomas Lemar

1 (or 2) week and everything will be clearer

 

[pavelsrnicek]

I think we will only sign him now because Bosman signings tend to get huge wages which will interfere with our pay structure.

Plus if we don't get Sanchez we'll look for another forward we don't want to wait a year for a forward.

Sergio has proved himself season on season, stones and sterling are both big signing who need to show the reason why we paid a lot of money for.
