Alexis Sanchez

[Butaan4barca]

we shouldn't let alexis go. he is a keeper, give him chance to shine and liscense to kill, he will be better than reus

 

[serghei]

Alexis is listed at 35m. by transfermarket.co.uk. That's his fair price IMO.

Even though its only a website, their valuation is usually spot on. Anything less than 30m is unacceptable for Alexis.

 

[Sumlit]

They have him listed at £26.4m which is €32.5m, not €35m. In any case, I don't see many teams, if any, willing to pay more than €30m for Alexis. If that's what you value him, then it's better to keep him because I don't see anyone buying him for that money.

He is a good player, but at the end of the day he is a winger who can't dribble, does not shoot, and is an average finisher at best. You won't get a lot of teams spending a fortune for that.

 

[Mythical Revolution]

IMO if all bids are less than 30M, then I think we should consider converting him into a RB to replace Alves. I don't know much about Guadrado, but it seems that he's a winger who can play as RB and I think Alexis can make that shift as well (assuming he's willing to do so), and it wouldn't be too late: Zambrotta made the shift from RW to LB at about the same age and he ended up becoming one of the best LB in the world.

32.5 or 35 whatever, the idea is that he costs 30m+. If there is no buyer, then you don't sell, simple as that. The price is the price. We shouldn't be desperate to sell a 25 ys old with buckets of talent and great numbers in the past year.

Keep Alexis and Alves (if there is no offer better than 15m.). Buy 4 more players. Benatia + Marquinhos, 70m, one CF 20m, and one CM 30m. That's 120M, in the budget. And stop complaining about the prices, that's the market, we have to deal with it. And letting Madrid and the arabs dominate european football is not an option.

It is becoming slightly painful to sometimes read this forum.
Too many users are extremely not objective and are extremely overrating all of our players.

Most of our fans here think that:
-- all of our players are the best in the world and better than all other players
-- Alexis is worth at least 40-50
-- Bartra is the next big thing, he will be worth 30M in the future
-- Montoya is the next big thing, he will be worth as Dani Alves, surely
-- Ie is the next big thing, he will be worth 30-40M in the future
-- Adama is the next big thing, he will be worth 30-40M in the future, we just need to play him and that's it. Just like on Football manager, where not a single player EVER has flopped if he had skills and if you played/developed him

Reality is much different than that.
Our team is horrible in the last 2 Seasons, compared to our standards in the last 10 Seasons.

A lot of our players are very overrated, and overpaid and they don't worth nearly as much as our fans think.
And bids of 18 or 20 M for Alves only prove that.
Also, you are expecting too much from La Masia players. 1 out of 10 will turn into something.
Into something, not into a new Messi or Busi. Just "into something".
It could be into a Sergi Roberto or Montoya.

I don't want to offend anyone, but too often it feels like comments are from 15 year olds who still believe too much "in overhyped young players" and similar.
And who haven't read these stupid stories for the last 10-15-20 years, and who have never been dissapointed when it turns out in the future that 80% of talents don't turn into anything.

Again, you are living in a dreamland if you think that anyone will ever pay more than 25M for Alexis. (or even more than 22M).
Our fans are rating him at 40-50M, but apparently, the whole world rates him as a 18-22M player.

Why have we paid that much? Because we are idiots at most of the times and we always overpay players.

Don't expect that from others.

So basically 80% of our squad is shit. The last 2 seasons were horrible (hello 100 points) and the whole club is doomed.
And you call the others not objective?

no, you are comparing with the 5 last years

Those were exceptional and it will easily take 20y to get that kind of standard again. T
objectively u don't have a shitty team if you:
win la liga, Cdr final, semi CL, win supercopa, second in la liga, 1/4final CL, Cdr semi.

if you use a realistic standards then some work has to be done but eg guys as Bartra and Montoya have already played for the NT. This means that they aren't shit. Spain is still double european champion and world champion.

there isn't a fair prize for a player. Just what teams want to offer and it only takes one fool. In most cases Barca ist that fool
Anyway, right now everybody is looking for defenders so prizes for CB's are completely going through the roof.
which means that you probably will have to pay 30,40m for a decent CB, it's not like there are dozens of them

you have no idea what you are talking about. He was a winger, with fantastic dribbling skill. I think you have totally forgotten his old days. Watch him closely with hi NT.

He has been suffocated, in roles he wasn't really comfortable with. Now that he has started to settle and gain his confidence, we are selling him ? absolute bs, i don't buy that.

Give him the freedom to dribble and take on defender and not just find messi, he will regain his reputation and surprise guys like you. Now i bet if you bring in reus and ask him to take his role he would look pretty different aswell. Compare old neymar and the one playing in Barcelona.

Now the thing is when you'r the man, and then turn second fiddle, drastic changes are eminent. Atleast he is happy to be 2nd deputy. Bring in guy like ibrahamovich personality and you will see trouble off and on the pitch.

One thing is clear messi will be undisputed no one, he will take the penalties, free kicks, and he will be the one playing through center. Every thing else is going to revolve around him for next many years. there aren't many names who can play as left or right side of messi and are willing to put in that work rate and defending from right upfront ?

There isn't none better than alexis for the role barca plays for right forward. He is immense player

besides he scored 21 goals, our four forwards score 96 goals, I don't think we have any problem what so ever in the front line. Only for plan b or change in tactic we can buy a tall no 9.

If you value him that high, then you'll never sell him because I very much doubt anyone out there would that much for him. Barca apparently valued him at €25m, and not even then can they get a bite.

Alexis is a good player, despite his short-comings, if the team won't get their assessed value of the player, then might as well keep him. Only way you sell under your assessed value, is to finance the purchase of a better option.

Lol, ok guy. I don't want to get into this gain, but no, Alexis is not a fantastic dribbler.

 

[Hamzah]

we should really keep alexis, not many good right sided players about. and ffs play him with messi and neymar in front three next year.

 

[Flavia]

Bartomeu: Alexis is not for sale. We know nothing about juventus interest, there was no contact. Alexis is in our plans, we need him and he had an excellent season.

I want him to say the same about Pedro and Cesc.

 

[Semi-Neutral]

aww yes

I want Alexis himself to say it...
