Alexis Sanchez, 29, is frustrated by the lack of playing time at Old Trafford and could seek a move away in January. (Evening Standard)

I would take him in a heartbeat to play striker if he took at least 50% pay cut lol... not gonna happen unfortunately. But the thought of Sanchez in the middle with Hazard and Pedro flanking him is great.

Never believed in this bloke since I watched him in Italy. Over dribbles, passes as a last resort and even then not particularly well. I expect I'll  be challenged on this opinion but, until I see Sanchez produce more rounded and more consistent performances, I doubt I'll be changing my mind. He created good stats at Arsenal for sure but there was always discontent with his overall play among a section of their fans.

My feeling is that his time with Arsenal will turn out to be similar to Nando's at Liverpool; the exception that proves the rule. That 'rule' being that he flatters to deceive and is in fact a bit below top class.

This is why I want him as striker first and foremost. Don't think these things would be such a hindrance in that position, his main job would be to make runs behind and find the net. He'd also contribute well to our first line of pressing. It's not like our current crop is much better than him in these aspects anyway.

This I do agree with.

I wonder what tgere is no thread for Luke Jovic, 20y.o. Bundesliga top scorer only half a year on his contract..even if he flops here his resale value would be immense

Because you haven't created one.

Buy Frenkie de Jong. Buy Matthijs de Ligt. I'm not even asking, I'm giving an order. Any top team that doesn't target these two has no reason to exist

sell Christensen and use the money to buy de ligt and sell drinkwater Baka and use to sign de Jong

It would be sad to see Christensen leave but de Ligt is easily the bigger talent. He's got that physical side as well that Christensen is just missing entirely.

Selling Baka and Drinkwater to buy de Jong sounds like the greatest deal in history

Both players hada great game against France I think de ligt is barcelona bound and de Jong is city bound I'm taking a liking to Sandro Tonali he passes like Pirlo and tackles like Gattuso we need to act quick and get his kid or Juventus will pinch him

Jovic...............Another of my TOP targets

along with de Ligt and De Jong (if Kovacic leaves) and Sandro Tonali and Nicolas Pépé (RW)

and Junior Firpo (LB) and Valentino Lazaro (RB)

I rate Jovic over Piatek after the first 3rd of the season

NONE of these, save de Ligt and De Jong are in the other giant clubs must have lists

see my post below

I am on the Tonali train too

there is NO excuse to let Barca outbid us for de Ligt

he is a GENERATIONAL talent CB

if he pairs up with Umtiti, god help football
