These 6 months have thrust him into the lime light. The past season's he's been a fancy winger with no end product.
I'd go as far to say I'd rather Pastore over him because atleast he's been more consistent over the past year.
The hype last season was around Pastore because he outshone Sanchez even up to Christmas Pastore was playing better than Sanchez. It's only been since January where Sanchez has really upped his game.
I'm usually one of the firs people to denounce people as pointlessly fancy, usually after you have said they are great.
You're off the mark on this one, though.
35m is on the steep side, but he is certainly far more than some flash guy with no end product.
Unlike most of the pointlessly fancy guys, Sanchez has vision, which is what sets him apart from the Zarates of this world.
31 games, 12 goals, 6 assists.
Not bad.
