So apart from Sanchez, which of our first choice team would you pick ahead of his Tottenham equivalent?

Ballerin might push Walker for a place I suppose, if he sorted out his positional play and bulked up a bit. Kos is one of our best players, but ahead of their Belgian CB pairing? I think not.

Individual ability would matter less if we compensated with character and team spirit, a la George Graham's team v Parma in Copenhagen. Sadly we don't tick that box either these days.
