    He's a good player - he is not one of the best ten players in the world. You argue like a child

    He is still very frustrating though. Surely you would admit that

    I dunno, it's weird, I can see the stats are terrible, but I honestly can't say he ever frustrates me. I have no obvious reason to defend him any more than any other player, but it seems to be a blindspot. I get infinitely more frustrated with, say, Bellerin, who I sometimes think has managed to con the entire football world into thinking he's anything beyond average.

    I just think Sanchez is fúcking great. Whilst not a like-for-like comparison at all, he's the closest thing we've had to Henry in terms of being able to do lots of things very, very well, with the added benefit of being absolutely insatiable in his desire.

    Would agree with most of that but I think he lacks a "leetle" bit the intelligence that the top, top players have. And you could argue it's a minor quibble, given what he is capable of, but the balance between instinct and judgement is weighs a little bit heavily towards the former for him to be one of the truly top players. I may be talking *******s of course

    I dunno. I see him in the same vein as Suarez. Their instinctive and aggressive style of play are their greatest assets, but what makes them such special players is that all of their 'secondary' attributes are also excellent too. So, they're both technically assured, have good delivery from wide areas, have a good weight of pass, are good in the air, have a good technical shot, have INCREDIBLY fast twitch muscle fibres that allow them to get to balls first...

    I had trouble with Suarez as well - so you may have a point

    I read that he conceded possession over 30 times in the United game which I can only assume to be an error in counting, an average of once every 3 minutes.

    We all know he is hugely prone to such error but that is a staggering figure.

    Surely not.

    I think he would probably be even worse in a better side. City dodged a bullet there. THey absolutely do not need him.

    Oh, I think they certainly do need him; apart from Kun, their first change is not as good as Alexis. They want to compete with Manchester United, Bayern München, Barcelona and Real Madrid too, after all. PSG as well.
