Why’d you think that is?

Age. If I could be confident that there was another reason and he could reproduce the form of previous seasons it would be a no-brainer. Some players can go on and on into their mid-30s, but I am concerned that he no longer has the basic speed that allowed him to beat players, and create space to get a shot away.

Why is it shambolic? It just returns different data than you expected.

This topic is awash with opinion dressed as fact. 'He's world class', 'No he's not'. Perhaps the stats about his goals, assists and his ranking in the Premier League's top players is a measure to use. I've never come across the Bleacher Report rankings before, but at least it's something to talk about.

You can't argue with his goals and assists.

There's a thing called context, use it. Most of us predicted Sanchez wouldn't perform well as he doesn't want to be there. Pep see's this, not a player in decline. Even once Sanchez does begin to decline, he'd still be an asset to the team. He shall be a welcomed addition.

Stop sitting on the fence, do you think he would be a good signing?

Probably not given that last Summer we were close to Mbappe, and players of the calibre of Hazard, Kane etc could become available to us.

In 2011, we tried to buy Sanchez from Udinese but he went to Barca. There was no doubt over his talent then, or little. Now because of his age there is more. It's reasonable to disagree but I think my point is reasonable too, particularly as his game has declined as seen in goals/assists.

I doubt we will ever pay over £100m for a player unless his name is Messi.

We were never going to pay the reported fee Monaco wanted for Mbappe.

Kane maybe.
 
Anyone who doesn't want Sanchez in January falls into at least two of the following list. So, if you don't want Sanchez in January, how much of a lunatic are you? Score yourself out of 10.

1. Is a Rag.
2. Would vote for Trump.
3. Wears short sleeved shirts.
4. Didn't go to York away.
5. Voted for Brexit.
6. Is looking forward to the Royal Wedding.
7. Thinks Beckham was a great football player.
8. Voted Remain.
9. Thinks global warming is important.
10. Genuinely believes Dave Silva is the greatest ever City player........ever!

Who is faster with the ball at their feet, Silva, Aguero or Sanchez?

Just 2 for me.. numbers 5 and 8
 
Sanchez would be unbelievable in this team. Imagine the damage he could do with Dave and Kev feeding him. Get him ... whatever it costs

Much the same. I'm also of the opinion that Aguero will need to be replaced soon. Silva doesn't need to be really quick to do his damage. The difference between Aguero and Sanchez is that Aguero will leave naturally in due course at the right time, whereas if we signed Sanchez it's risky because of his age.

He would be more important for the champs league so we probably in no rush let Arsenal sweat bid 15m week before transfer window shuts
