Barcelona Sign Alexis Sanchez
The first thing which came acorss my mind when I heard about Barcelona signing Alexis Sanchez for 22 million with another 10 million down the road is Ibrahim Afellay. Afellay must be thinking hey I’m every bit as good as Alexis Sanchez but you know Sanchez is going to get every shot of making the starting 11 where as Afellay who signed for next to nothing will be the 3rd guy off the bench since Barcelona need to justify the price they have paid for Sanchez.
No denying the talent but it will be interesting to see how quickly Sanchez makes the jump from the expectations placed upon him at Udinese to the non stop you have to be at your best at all times pressure he will face playing for Barcelona. With the moves Barcelona, Real Madrid and Barcelona have made this year it’s easy to say the rich get richer.

Am I the only one who thinks Sanchez is overpriced and overrated? With the signing of Afellay not too long ago, its also an unnecessary signing.
