Alexis Sanchez

Alexis is a great player and has a high ceiling too. But he will be never reach his full potential at barca. Sure his stats have improved but chile Sanchez and barca Sanchez have a huge difference.

That said I think he should stay one more season and give it a try under lucho. May be he might find a place for him. We should not sell him for anything less than 45M. Neymar messi Sanchez all need space and freedom. With iniesta demanding some space too it is just hard to imagine them being an effective forward line. They might win matches but we will only be limiting all the 3 forwards potential.

Suarez would add more than Sanchez to the squad but even then we would be limiting their potential. We need a true no.9 who can play in front of messi. A player who can get into gaps of defense and helping neymar and messi. That way messi is at his best and neymar will also get more freedom. Both will be starting their attacks on wings and drifting into centre and lay it off to the striker.

If Alexis can play as a striker then messi can work his magic in the midfield. But in chile Sanchez plays as a second striker with Vargas as main striker. In barca it is quite not possible because we have Lionel messi and neymar in the squad. One more solution would be to buy a striker and play in front of these three but then iniesta will lose his place mostly.

I might be completely wrong and this is all BS but this is just my opinion. Villa should have been the perfect player for us I don't know where it all went wrong. Anyway new barca should be build around messi again, if Sanchez is burden in this step we should offload him. Instead of fab Tata should have started ney Leo and Alexis up front more. Then we would have know if it will ever work or not.

For me Alexis is a great player but doenst suit the Barcelona system as a RW and that is the only position he will get a chance.

He has some great moments such as his goals against Atletico and Real this season but often those moments where he gives away the ball too cheaply, doesnt show much intelligence in his link up play with Messi or the full back.

Sanchez biggest strength is his movement off the ball and running at players, he doesnt get the freedom to do either at Barca.

Personally I think he looks frustrated and this is not all about the club being desperate to get rid of him, looks to me that he wants to leave as well.

Why? Why Alexis? They can sell Pedro instead.

Pedro doesn't have the same value. Alexis is putting a show in the wc. Guess he now is worth 30m, instead of 25 :pep:
His nt coaching saying he's not valued at Barça is a sign of that too. It doesn't look like Lucho counts on him, and he probably wants to leave too.

If Lucho counts on Pedro instead of Alexis, than he is a lot dumber than I thought. He'd better watch this WC, to see what player we have in our hands. Pretty much every team is drooling over the possibility of signing Sanchez, and us?. What do we do? We are throwing him away, or using him as a leverage in the transfer of a player who is almost 28 and has serious mental issues.

The guy deserves better.

Neither of Pedro and Alexis would be starters under Lucho. He wants Neymar-Messi-Suarez apparently.

Real Madrid signed Bale and all of us wondering how will Carlito manage to fit him in the starting lineup with Di Maria CR and Benzema...He moved Di Maria back in a more creative role and he was very successful. We can do the same with Sanchez..Suarez in front of Messi, Neymar and Alexis behind them providing loads of assists...Alexis has an incredible workrate, he can also defend and he will be excellent in this position.

The problem is Alexis is supposed to be included in the deal for Suarez.

Lucho wants a #9. I don't think Pedro will be a starter with him.

That means, what?, Messi as a winger? :lol:. I made a poll with Messi's position and only 2-3 guys out of 100 thought Messi on the right would be good. Now everyone is fine with that?

I thought the plan was to buy a "9" so we can have a plan B if needed. Not to sell one of your star players from last season to bring in a guy who probably belongs in a straitjacket.

Suarez as a potential number 9 doesn't automatically mean Messi as a winger.
