Honestly think Mata might actually be more mobile than Sanchez at this point.We basically have two Mata's on each wing, one is Mata and the other is Mata with a Sanchez mask on.

How the mighty have fallen, there's a decent amount of deadwood that needs clearing out and the £350k a week man is top of the listHonestly think Mata might actually be more mobile than Sanchez at this point.
It's a fair opinion. What does he do?I want to say something really mean about Sanchez but I'm afraid I might never get promoted. He's starting to really piss me off
Remembering the criticism Nani was getting alone makes me mad. I guess if people who kept slaughtering him and saying he's inconsistent and such knew in the future we are going to have Sanchez, Mata and Lingard running the show on the flanks for us, they would have given Nani a life time contract!Nani was deemed 'not good enough for us'
Even the shit version of Memphis was 2 divisions better than Sanchez.
Just goes to show how far we have fallen. Nani would have been the 3rd name on the team sheet nowadays only behind DDG and Pogba.Nani was deemed 'not good enough for us'

I'm done with both of them. We're better off having backups who arent on astronomical wages and expect to be first teamers. We would also benefit from having second choice players who A) have room for development B) have a certain level do technical class C) can instill some dynamism and put defenders on the back foot, and most importantly D) fit into our footballing ideology.Not for those wages and outlay, he's not.
He has no fight in him, either, so being a second fiddle is not going to be agreeable to him and his style of play just does not fit in with us in terms of him having enough games to keep him placated.
He's better out wide than through the middle in this team, and only then, under special circumstance where he doesn't have to track back.
It's a terrible situation all round and I think he'll want out by May because he has no chance of usurping Rashford and he can't do the graft required to break into the team permanently in another position.
We're going to take a big loss on him, but getting the wages off the books, or, moreover, redistributiing them to players who fit the way Ole plays, is paramount, imo.
He's like Rooney when he was over the hill but without the end product and passing it out to Valencia (TM)I don't understand how nothing comes off for Sanchez. It looks like works as hard as he can and doesn't give up. But nothing seems to amount to anything as end product.
There has to come a point when a player realises he is finished at this level. And then it becomes a question of, what is better for your ego, sitting around Manchester collecting your wages and doing nothing because you arent getting picked? Or going to China where you can relive the glory days of being better than everyone else around you?Would Sanchez be open to China?
Yeah. I dont know if he has still been in the mindset that he was playing himself back into form, playing himself back into the team. I have to believe a player of his quality and reputation backed himself to force his way back into the team. But at some point it will dawn on him that it isnt going to happen. As you say, he might have figured it out already. I was still holding onto hope that he would come good and either force his way into the side, in a central role or on the right, or if he was really sublime on the left perhaps job sharing with Martial in the way Rashford was some time ago. Either way, I imagine by the summer he'll be under no illusions about his prospects at this club.@Adebesi he isn't a starter as it is so perhaps he will want to get moving after the season. Hopefully.
He really should be open to any kind of move. He's performing laughably badly and should move for his own pride's sake.Would Sanchez be open to China?
¥¥¥¥ works too.He really should be open to any kind of move. He's performing laughably badly and should move for his own pride's sake.
But then again, $$
I feel exactly the same way . He is trying but it's not working out. Such a disappointment.I don’t believe in curses but watching Sanchez makes me question that. He’s clearly trying I think, but everything he does looks laboured and nothing he tries come off, not even simple passing. He seems to still be on a different planet to the rest of the team when it comes to movement as well, his flicks barely ever seem to work. It’s sad to watch and at this point I’ve no idea how he can be fixed.
I agree on Mata too. When I see people talking about how important they are for our quality in depth I wonder if they realise that getting rid also means recruiting more suitable players. As it is 70.7% on the Caf want rid of Sanchez in the summer and 60.4% Lukaku. I don't think those numbers are reactionary, I think it's foresight.Mata, Lukaku and Sanchez are earning north of £700,000 a week between them - not including scoring/assists/appearance bonuses etc - which is an absolutely staggering figure given the next to nothing output they provide. They're also taking up valuable bench space that our many talented academy graduates could make far better use of - not to mention the strain their combined salaries are putting on the clubs wage bill.
We have to ship them out at the next available opportunity.
Would definately sell Sanchez, but not too sure about Lukaku.
Lukaku, despite his poor overall play, is a proven goalscorer in the EPL. His record speaks for itself and it would be very hard to find a player with that record.
