It's Quiet - a new dawn

It's a case of how bad do we want Alexis. If they asked for Kelechi I'm pretty sure we'd do that deal.

I agree. I really rate Kelechi and believe that he has been harshly treated over the past 2 years but the truth of it is, Sanchez is a player we really want and kelechi is a player we see as expendable.

Kelechi is a player people on here 'think' we see as expendable.

If we are insisting on a buyout clause or no sale, then that is not true.

You think we'd miss out on Alexis by refusing a deal if Arsenal asked? I really, really don't.

Look, I love the kid and expect huge things from him, but he ain't gonna do it here in this system and if Arsene wants to save face, that's one way to do it.

it is always a guessing game on where info can come from (and also know first hand sources cannot be compromised) but without doubt people do get snippets of information. This a transfer discussion forum so they should not be discounted but discussed. I for one appreciate and evaluate any info provided and it helps pass the day.

I have no idea how City view Kelechi's future.

I know we will only get a few years out of Sanchez though. And it seems to me Arsenal are in a mess with contracts/signings.

'If' the stories are true & City will not sell Kelechi without a buyback clause, then that's that. It means they rate him that highly. As I do.

If the stories aren't true, then they would be willing to sell him to Arsenal.

I think a lot of City fans will be hoping for defensive reinforcements including a central defender.

We have 4 forwards plus Kelechi and yet we're hunting down Sanchez. In my opinion Sanchez offers marginal benefit as our forward line is already strong and yet we know that Kompany is not going to play 60 games this season and we seem to be ignoring that.

but how many times has it been mentioned marv that we want at least 3 full backs and a CB as well as sanchez?

I agree I want the defensive targets sorted first, so then I can enjoy the window, but I don't think you can claim our forward line is at all strong right now!

Its: Aguero, Jesus, Sterling and Sane.

That's not exactly stacked. I know Bernardo will probably end up filling in at RW too but Sanchez is as necessary as a CD in my opinion.

We currently have four attacking players now that Navas has gone and Nolito is likely to follow. I'd actually argue we need Sanchez and one more, though the other could be a Roberts. The defence will get sorted, but we should absolutely be looking at reinforcing the attack. Look at how exhausted Sane and Sterling were at the end of the season, they're kids.

We want to cover our own back in case hes valued at £60m in two years time, we don't want to end up like Chelsea or United having to pay silly money to get one of our players back to the club. This does not mean the club don't see him as expendable in the here and now. I expect we would sell him for less money to a club we don't consider a rival but I would be very surprised if we would potentially miss out on one of our main targets because the other club wanted Kelechi as part of the deal.
