Loool
Typical Arsenal underrating.
Notice that van Persie is rarely in contention when it comes to best strikers in Prem history, or how Cesc is so underrated in favor of Lamps and Gerrard? Nobody talks about Gilberto, Ljungberg, or England's own Sol either.
You say this, but a key part of Sanchez's decision to go to United is because he's unsure he'd start at City......
Cesc has had title winning seasons at Chelsea. Still not rated, because he doesn't fit the English mould of what a midfielder is.
RVP had two great seasons and not much else
Not 100% convinced by Sanchez, eh?
City don't "need" Alexis to win the Prem. They have a plethora of talent. They want him for the CL.
On individual talent alone, Alexis is as good as any City player. That doesn't mean Pep would want to upset the rhythm at City. It's not just about who's better individually.
Plus, City don't want to make Alexis their highest paid player, which ManU have no qualms in doing. Think about it: if City make Alexis their highest paid player, how would it go down with Aguero, KdB, Silva, etc.? It's not worth the risk - and we are also aware of Pep's usual transfer games. He wants Sanchez to stay at Arsenal until the summer so that City could get him for free. Alexis doesn't want to stay a single day more.
A lot of factors.
