Why? Neither Martial or Rashford will become world class. At least we know Sanchez can be world class. He needs to be much better next season though. Hopefully a summer off will give him the break he needs.
He was always like this though
So do I. Mental to think he'd be getting a bonus each week that is more than what many of our players get weekly. If it is true, since signing alone he'd have earned about £1.4M through starts.
You might very well be right but isn't that anymore daming that our CEO and manager if they keep buying players that underperform regularly? So they failed basically no matter what, either they bought a has been player and massively overpaying on wages or they don't get one of the best attacking players in the world to perform up to the standard expected of him. No matter what it's not a good look for those in charge of our club.
Like feck he is
Wrong thread?
Considering your assumptions about Rashford and Martial, it would not be completely unfair to assume that Sanchez may not ever be world class again.
Arsenal supporter?
Crazy. Not looking forward to Pogba's renewal.
Yeah, it's worrying. This summer is so so important. I think the club (Jose included) kinda panicked when Sanchez was available. To get him from under the nose of City, to shift the absolute passenger Mkhi, but at the cost of a very long contract and at an enormous wage is just indefensible.
Okay this is worrying for me as a German to have someone with the username SS replying to someone whose username is almost Nazi.
I don't think playing him on the right makes much of a difference...it's the system (or lack thereof) that he's in. He's a player in decline, but I'm sure the right coach could identify a way to highlight the qualities he has left. I imagine that's the reason Pep was after him. I just don't have any faith in Mourinho to do that.
You are right but my idea was to simply add in the one hole that we had and keep the functioning part alone. Because in my opinion our attack wasn't great but was functioning, the addition of Sanchez at its heart turned us into an fairly inefficient unit. This summer we nned to had someone in the spirit of Ozil who is able to organize things and pick the correct moment to involve guys like Sanchez, Martial and Lukaku.
Yeah, but Sanchez runs so much, he has so much heart and he seems more like a bloke I'd have a pint with.
Sanchez has not played consistently on the right since his Barcelona days. If that was the solution, I am sure his managers who are SMEs in player management would have done that already. Sanchez has lost his explosiveness and his decision making makes it hard to understand which team he plays for.
Sorry.Okay this is worrying for me as a German to have someone with the username SS replying to someone whose username is almost Nazi.
Just kidding of course and a little bit of German angst.
You are right but we bought him, we are stuck with him and we are stuck with Mourinho, so there is no point dreaming about a new philsophy. Also he is far worse than Lingard and Mata in the 10 slot and he is far worse than Martial on the left, so the right side is the solution with limited amount of touches.
Mkhi was atleast fluking a few assists and goals in every other game.
I believe I said on this forum that Alexis would struggle for us because Jose is shit at coaching attacking football. I got a lot of flak for that. As always I’m right.
I agree, Sanchez would still be crazy good for a team like Liverpool.
He has literally always been like this , that’s his game. A bit like a winger who keeps trying to go pass his man. 5/7 times he won’t but you have him in there because the 2/7 times he does have the potential to cause all sorts of issues.
I am really interested if anyone can find his stats. While I believe that his passing percentage, maybe even key passes have been similar I am pretty certain he shots much less than in Arsenal. I remember few games where he didn't even have a shot on target, can't remember that happening in Arsenal.
