Alexis Sanchez (Out)

[Gooner Zig]

Alexis sighting in all new kit promos(also Özil):
It would be shameful thing to sell him to City.

There's absolutely no way the club could justify a sale to City - not even for 100M

Did I mention City anywhere? My comment was irrelevant to City.

You never mentioned them but that doesn't mean discussing Man City in line with what you said is irrelevant. Its completely relevant. Read the article you replied to in case of doubt. The perception in football circles is largely if Alexis goes it will be to City to compete for the biggest trophies. In what reality have City competed for any major trophies in recent years? Is that not relevant at all given the statement that we don't compete then I don't know what is.

We should be bombarding all media outlets reminding them that for all the money City spent we have out done them in recent years. Aside from Chelsea we have been the most successful club team in England in recent years. Let's not continue to pander to this ridiculous narrative that we are some second or third tier team. We have our flaws but they aren't the same as they were 5, 6, 7 years ago.

Except:

1. The players on loans, ie Chez/Campbell, other clubs pay their wages
2. Any back ups/squad players you sell you need replacements for. So you can shift Giroud/Ox/Perez/Gibbs/Ospina but you need replacements who'll likely demand the same salaries if not more.
3. We can't shift Debuchy

So you can't much wages there imo.

1. Not entirely true, sometimes clubs foot some of the wages. I'm not sure if Roma were paying 100% of Scz's wages;

2. We don't need to buy squad players to replace those players - we have some very talented youth in our academy who need top level minutes

3. Why not?

After all this Alexis propaganda if he doesn't resign it's embarrassing

My comment was in general, so again for me City is irrelevant in that context. I am not pandering to anything. There is a simple fact, while we are the same club of 5 or 6 yrs ago, we are either not a tier one European football club as far as performances and results are concerned and no one should be fooled to believe otherwise.

We are playing Europa League this season ffs and have not won the PL for 13 years now.

Alexis' xG and xA is 0.602 per 90 while his actual return from open play in goals and assists is 0.893 per 90. That's just an incredible return and no matter how many times Alexis gives the ball away, that pales into insignificance by the sheer weight of productivity he brings

It really doesn't. Yes he does well for himself in goals/assists but he breaks down attack after attack to the detriment of the team time and again.

Incredible, I give you stats that show how Alexis is in the top 5 most devastating players in Europe and you can only harp on about some misplaced passes.

Did you not read his 400 passes in and around the box which also puts him in the top 5 players in Europe?

Who dat, who dat?

 

[HairSprayGooners]

If he's right then there's only Juan Luis.

Also, as he's in the thread I'd like to apologise to @carlito'sway for being very out of order in what I said to him. Sorry bro, shouldn't argue with fellow fans! One big family.

Same with @Furious I apologise.

Well even Pablo's got that. I suck at Twitter...

Only been on twitter a day and I've got over 60k followers. I'm huge in Chile.

Seriously though, he's a cartoon ffs.

He seems to be attached to something called El Filtrador: http://elfiltrador.com

I think understandably people get carried away with the campaign from the English press for Alexis to move.

If you look at what's going to happen, sometime soon Alexis is going to be getting offered £300k a week. Very few people in football would turn that down.

I honestly can't see him refusing his wages being more than doubled, especially with the players being brought in. City don't even pay their best players those wages.

No idea who this guy maybe he is the orny of Chile. let's hope.

You're right, not even talk of any bids either. The British press do tend to run away with things once they get a sniff.

It does not seem that he wrote a lot about football lately on Twitter.
