Sanchez was another one we should have sold given the silly money City offered us
But also we got 20 million for Walcott, 18 million for Giroud and even 12 million for Coquelin in the winter window of 2018. Which actually wasn’t all that bad.
Tchouameni is apparently still on the drawing board even when Rice crosses the line which would definitely spell the end for TP.
We'd have not had a striker of any note if we had and anyway we did then do that excellent swap with Man U, giving them him for Mkhitaryan... :whistle:Quote:

well i was sort of joking about Mkhiki, apart from one very good goal am not sure he did much - thougth it was hilarious that Moan U spent so much on Sanchez only for it not to work out though... :lol:
An not sure Sanchez was tameable by anyone, even Pep, but would have been interesting to see him try
More referring to the whole we didn’t have another striker thingQuote:

At best he was an ok squad option
Sanchez was a lazy individual and in the end seemed to show little regard for even the basic levels of personal fitness.
Thats the South American curse in play, regularly taking down "could've been" greats like Baptista, Adriano, Real Ronaldo, Real Denilson, Robinho etc. ....usually always affecting their attacking players.Quote:

Football is 80% "in the head" when you think about it.
