Alexis Sanchez

[Trickykid]

I see your point about wanting to change the system all together, but as Flavia has already pointed out, that probably won't happen as long as Messi is here.
Your claim about both Perdo and Alexis being bad goal scorers could be justified the last two seasons, but this season both have been great. Sure Alexis misses sitters, but for what he contributes, I doubt you could find many wingers who can do the same + being vastly better in front of goal. Right now, when it finally seems that he has settled in for real, I still think it would be ludicrous to even contemplate trying to get rid of him.

But yeah, 50 mio euros on the table from some sugardaddy club? Sure, we should talk...

Kindly note that they started scoring those tons of goals when messi was absent and the attack didnt have a focal point and cesc was always in midfield providing them with defense splitting passes. We all know how many goals they have scored ever since messi came back!!!! With messi here alexis and pedro go back to the wingers they used to be. Atleast pedro is showing promise!!!! I would take a CF in a heartbeat to exchange with sanchez, to add height and poaching skills to our attack and make use of the 50 crosses we make against parked buses. I also wish for busquets to take xavi's position and for us to get a ferrocious destroyer DM who is also good aerially like gary medel

yeah yeah yeah, you and others have said that a dozen times now, but that doesn't change the fact that we won't suddenly take a u-turn on our current tactic, and play a a high profile 9.
Also, Gary fucking Medel? Honestly? I mean, we have one of the best defensive midfield destroyers in our team already, and we're not using him in that position. You think we'd buy someone like Gary Medel? Gary Medel of all the players you could name... wow.

Firts there is no need to cuss. It is actually not necessary if at all right. Our play style has been yearning for a true nine. We havent always been playing with false nine, we always had a true nine. Then guardiola did a tactical tweak so as to make us less predictable and it managed us to win titles. Sadly we are trapped there and have failed to move on, as much as it may seem, all teams know how to play against false nine and we need to evolve, because they crowd messi and barcelona is out. Xavi thinks differently about gary medel. He thinks very highly of him and last season he recommended him to the board but the board had eyes set on fabregas return and sanchez. Gary medel is a quality player. He is highly regarded in england as the pitbull guy, the destroyer. Mascherano is not good in the air. He is very poor. Here is a piece from biography of gary medel

Despite being short, he has great jumping and heading skills, this being shown in 2009, in a friendly against Denmark, when he was marking Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner, 25*cm taller than Medel.
He can play in every position in the defence, even as a sweeper, or a right back.
He is a hardworker, tough on the tackle. He, sanchez and vidal are the reason why chile is once again a world cup contender

But ofcourse you people when it comes to signings you would want barca to sign big names with a lot of ego or those who are not needed and that is why
We bought , fabregas, song, ibrahimovic, when they were not needed or they ended up failures.
You can go ahead and try to sign thiago silva, david luiz, dante and see if you are going to win.

I just checked his stats with Messi back. Since the Argentine returned, they have started 4 games together. In those 4, Alexis has 2 goals and 2 assists. SELL HIM OMFG!

I can't believe we're actually discussing Medel here. I'll admit, I haven't seen much of the mighty Cardiff this season, but from what I've read and heard, he hasn't exactly set the world alight with his displays there. From what I saw in Seville, though, he would be so much out of place here, that it wouldn't even be funny. I reiterate, if we suddenly feel the need to play a destructive DM, Masch is the obvious fit.

Anyhow, you suddenly divert the talk to signing big name players, of which I haven't even mentioned anyone. As far as I recall you were the one who brought up Cavani a few posts ago.

Okay let me give you the benefit of the doubt. Suppose we need a destroyer DM who is also good in the air! Who would it be?
because playing with masch still makes the middle of the park vulnerable to long balls, and we still have only three tall players in the team and they are not particularly that good at defending set pieces. I would have gotten matic if he didnt go to chelsea

I was just answering to a certain person who said if we had cash we would get suarez and i said cavani would be a better alternative because of what he brings to the table. But never did i say we should go for him or will go for him because it is impossible.

I couldn't care less. I don't think we need a destroyer DM at all. Experiementing with Masch there once in a while, sure, I wouldn't mind giving it a go.
As I said, I haven't followed the mighty Gary Medel much this season, but checking his heading stats doesn't exactly convince me of his prowess. Actually they're virtually identical to those of Masch's. I understand that stats can be decieving and all that, but if he really was such a prodigous header of the ball, wouldn't he have a better ratio than 0.8 pr game and just around 50% succesrate all together?

Because you are using a very small sample size to say that sanchez is doing well when messi is here while the truth is that sanchez started performing last season when messi went injured, for instance he had to wait for twenty something rounds before scoring his first league goal. When messi went injured boom! He starts scoring and making plays. In the start of the season he wasnt scoring that much. But messi goes injured boom! His goal talky rises! Messi is back he starts losing consistency. He doesnt score in the cup match against levante nor in the league game.The malaga game was an overral good performance by the team. Then messi is on the bench and he scores a double against levante, then a strange goal vs valencia then he becomes the old alexis missing sitters. There is a trend here!!

Best comment ever
Some music there for you

Thanks

Don't know why but its been a while since I've got the feeling could soon crush this boat with his conservative decissons and his lack of true innovative measures...

Okay we may forget about gary medel, but my idea is a destroyer DM with aerial ability and good on the ball and passing. Ofcourse we need to play big teams with ruthless attack like psg, bayern, chelsea, the current real madrid, full squad man city, etc. to see why such a midfielder is necessary. Also see how spain played in the confederations cup and you will know that he needs a partner, so that he can move forward and track back as well. Spain has always been stable in defence when both xabi and busquets played together.

Saying that puyol is our new signing was far and beyond madness
