Alexis Sanchez

[carlosthejackal]

If true then it's a shite bit of business

This Sterling story just confirms Arsenal are selling but desperately need an angle to sell the deal to increasingly disgruntled supporters.

Probably, but it is also a bit worrying that from Arsenal's perspective they can hardly let Sanchez go now with no replacement and nothing positive to sell to the fans. There would be a riot. Wenger needs something positive to spin if he's to retain his job / life. I just seriously hope Pep is not so desperate to fall for it.

Pep is supposed to be building a team for the future, a platform for the future. Selling one of England's brightest prospects at age 22, is not this.

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

We can't deny every rumour the rag media puts out. Just calm down, it's rubbish.

 

[Neville Kneville]

I'm honestly not that bothered mate
I want what's best for the club and team

Maybe its Sanchez
Maybe its Sterling

All will be forgotten by the time we play our next game in 11 days should we perform well and Sanchez puts on a show

It is not going to happen, but I am honestly past the point of embarrassment for the grown men on here threatening to chuck their season tickets etc.

You'd be more embarrased by sitting in the crowd with grown men standing shouting abuse at Pep & the media furore afterwards.

Which is exactly what would happen, if this was genuine & City lost a couple of games.

It would be the most stupid thing City have done in decades.

Luckily, City are no longer that stupid, even if some fans are daft enough they would actually put up with it.

 

[Chippy_boy]

The fact we haven't is worrying.

We never do.

So it's not really worrying.

What is worrying is that Arsenal need something positive to spin if they let Sanchez go. If it's not Sterling, what is it?

 

[dario2739]

Calm down fellas, we know it's bollocks.

^^^ THIS ^^^

 

[SPIDERBOY]

Do some actually think we will spunk over £100 million on a player in his last year?

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Sky sports saying bid to go in. Fuck aguero going or sterling lol

Heard it all now, Aguero going as a 'makeweight'. How fucking feeble-minded must fans be to believe this shit.

 

[onceabluealways]

In the current transfer climate there is a strong case to say sterling is worth more than sanchez

 

[bluemc1]

don't want Sterling to go and I'd be surprised if Sterling is happy with it
Think his career would really go backwards moving there

 

[Neville Kneville]

The fact the MuEN allow this **** to report on us instead of exclusively using Brennan tells you all you need to know about that rag-loving rag. Rag.

Yep.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

This is much better. The thought of getting rid of Raheem absolutely pisses me right off.

Won't happen, mate.

Swapping Sterling for Sanchez would be daft which is why I think (hope) it's bullshit. We can afford Sanchez without it, and we need Sanchez (or equivalent) not just for his quality but also depth. We have only 4 forwards - Jesus, Aguero, Sane and Sterling, and often play with 3. One gets injured or suspended (like Sterling for out next game) then you have no forwards on the bench.

Also he's young, English, a good character, worth a lot of money, improving, motivated and has earned us 4 points in 2 games.

 

[Chevelle]

About as imminent as an imminent thing!!


Alexis Sanchez has asked to be released from international duty with Chile for 24 hours to conduct 'personal business'. [TV13]

The lol on the end was me laughing at the story mate

If he is an upgrade then who cares?

I don't believe it is an upgrade. It might make sense for one season. This is the problem: Guardiola needs instant success and goals are a problem for City because Aguero is losing it.

If we replace Aguero, we should do it with a long term replacement not a player who is going to decline. I was hoping we persist with Aguero and Jesus for one more season and then buy in 12 months.

Any move for Sanchez entirely rests on whether you think he can maintain his goals and assists. If you think he can then we should do it and vice versa.

Sanchez is most definitely an upgrade on Sterling in the here and now but that doesn't address the bigger picture of, can Sterling be better than Sanchez? In my opinion the answer is no.

Sanchez is also currently better than Sane and Jesus but I think both have the potential to be as good, if not better than Sanchez. I would be 100% against any swap deal involving those guys.

We are buying Evans as we desperately need home grown players, we have sold Nolito, Navas and Iheanacho so we need attacking players. Why on earth would we sell a home grown attacker? Arsenal will probably sign Mahrez to replace Sanchez and another defender and the masses would be somewhat calmed.

 

[HelloCity]

‪Hearing Utd also want Sanchez. Offering Rashford plus £65 million. Deal is £70 million in total.

He's worth double Sanchez.

 

[bellwhaft]

No way on god's earth Aguero will go.

Sterling, maybe. If he does, Pep will well and truly have his cock on the block this season.
