No he doesn't. He probably agrees Sergio is too good to be on the bench, that's why he is leaving the choice up to him. Sergio just doesn't fit Peps bill because he's not as much a playmaker as he wants and he can't be considereed his prodigy so he will put him in a situation where it would be unreasonable for him to stay. I understand it, it just sucks.

Mainly because we could see our most potent attack of all time if we weren't bowing down to a philosophy and instead aimed for getting the most out of or current players but to each his own.

I read your comment as it was unreasonable to drop Aguero for GJ. My bad.

So I assume you would prefer a different manager?

Sanchez has some alarming stats, 4th most dispossessed player in Europes top leagues, 1st in most inaccurate passes

Not sure why nobody has called you out on this post yet, but here we go:

1. Sanchez has indeed made more inaccurate short passes than any player in Europe, but this is irrelevant as he still has a pass accuracy of 74% overall. This is because he makes a lot of passes, more than other forwards in the league, and thus makes more misplaced passes too. That's how it should be. Further - his long range passing is excellent and among the best in Europe.

2. Your statistic for "dispossessed" comes from Whoscored, who divide possession loss between two categories before giving an overall rating. The first is unsuccessful touches, ie, bad control leading to a loss of possession. The second is general dispossession, ie, the player is dispossessed on the ball, but not while dribbling, through defensive contributions. The latter has happened to Sanchez the fourth number of times, but actually only the seventh number of times when you consider per game. The former is a different story and overall it evens out.

3. There are significantly many statistics which are exceedingly favorable to Alexis which show the opposite. For example, he makes on average 2.2 successful key passes, leading to goal scoring opportunities, per game. While playing centre-forward, that number is 2.4 per game, which is more than any other CF in Europe.

Even ignoring his goals, assists and the potential for Pep to play him at his best, Sanchez is one of the proven best players in the league and has been since he arrived. I know you, and others such as @karen7 , go on the offensive because you are worried he'll replace Kun, but there's no reason the two of them couldn't be on the same team sheet if Aguero agreed. Would be pretty amazing to see, too.
 
so tolm posted the London boys video yesterday but that normally means an arsenal player ie sanchez? would he be including walker in that as well?
 
Even though Sanchez is indubitably one of the best players in the league, one has to wonder if there are alternatives available who would represent a far greater value for money. It wouldn't be incomprehensible if he began to decline within the next 12-18 months.
 
Usually I get pretty excited when the summer comes round and who we may sign but we keep spending shit loads every summer but not actually getting/progressing anywhere. Why will this one be any different?
 
Why would we let one of the best forwards in the Premier League season after season and replace him with potential? We should be adding to the team to assist Kun or have we become a selling club that pampers to Pep.

What a very odd statement.

As a club that has invested incredible time and energy into securing the services of one of the best managers in the world,the word your looking for is 'trust'.........Subsequently,we are going to afford him complete freedom to rebuild our team,and implement his methods - irrespective of what that takes or who it might initially upset.

Was just about to say exactly the same - the board and owners obviously trust Pep more than some people on this forum. Considering his reputation and standing in the game it is clear why that is the case. Sergio may be a big loss but anyone who thinks jesus is just potential isn't watching him - he is a top draw forward already. Sane jesus and sanchez with Sterling as backup would frighten most teams in Europe.
