Alexis Sanchez

[Pepe Silvia]

If you think Alexis is world class and you still want him gone, then you don't really want the best for Barca. If we have an amazing player in our own back yard, and we don't know how to use him and make the best out of him, it's our failure as a club, not Alexis' as a player. And instead of wanting Alexis to leave just for that you should blame the coaching staff, for having great players, and for not knowing how to use them. Luis Enrique's job is not to get rid of the players who don't fit, but to make the system in a way that can incorporate and use all talent in the team. Quality matters, not this "doesn't fit our style" mumbo jumbo. In the end it's not a style that wins matches, is how you put it in practice. Our lack of inteligence and sense of adapting to the changes of the game is what brought us here in the first place.

Fair statements. I do want the best for Barcelona though. I'm the guy at the family bbq who can't stop talking about Barcelona football.

That's not going to happen. Alexis plays the best as creative AM/10 right behind the sole striker. That's Messi's position. Iniesta and Suarez can play the same position too as backups. The point is we need a winger, not expensive Messi's backup. If Sanchez can't play as RW he should go - not just for money, but also to stop blocking young player, who might become better wingers, than he is.

This. I wouldn't sell Sanchez for any price. Unless we have a better replacement lined up, but there is no RW out there who we can realistically get who'd be an improvement on Sanchez, so yeah...

Even if there is no player on RW who is clearly better than Sanchez (although I believe Reus is that guy), we need someone with different style. Current attacking lineup is too small and not physical enough. Messi and Neymar are not going anywhere so Alexis is the odd man out.

So Pedro is the odd man in?

Tello, Cuenca and Afellay are set to leave. Neither of Messi, Neymar, Alexis and Pedro are leaving.

Neymar/Pedro -- Messi -- Alexis/Deulo/Rafinha

[Barcaman]

He played as a winger in some games for Celta. And who said he's a replacement for Cesc?
Start following football a bit and work on your grammar.

That's a bit rude.

Well, if you are content with such one dimensional attack, that wasn't able to do squat during the most important matches at the end of the season, so be it. While it might sounds ridiculous, this season wasn't lost, because of our defense (not matter how horrible it was sometimes), but because of midfield and attack impotency. I believe both Pedro and Alexis should go and be replaced by one world class biger more physical winger (or true no9 if you want to change formation). Adama and Deulofeu should provide backing.
