Jadon Sancho

[Sparkz]

I would have loved Sancho, he has superstar potential and could become one of the best players in the world. I feel we walked away due to the combined cost it would take to bring him here, he's likely to cost over 100 million, have astronomical wages and huge agent fees 

I would be massively gutted that we are going to miss out on him but I feel Havertz is equally as talented and fits into our system much better. We also have the likes of Pulisic, CHO, Werner and Ziyech so Sancho isn't needed as much

In the last two years Sancho has scored 31 goals and contributed 33 assists 

Havertz has scored 35 goals and contributed 14 assists

Sancho obviously has much higher assists but both players make around 2 key passes per game. Sancho also plays in a better team with much better attacking players than Havertz

I don't feel there's a huge amount separating them and feel both players will be amazing signings for who they sign for

Hes obviously a hell of a player but his attitude is definitely questionable and would have been a worry if we signed him. 

Why? Do you mean the barber-thing?

No, he was dropped by his coach a few times over his attitude, he has missed team meetings, returned late from internationals etc.

Okay. Didn't know that. Still I think those are minor things weighted against his talent. Kante is late all the time and he is okay.

Kante is always late, wheres that came from?

A few players have mentioned it in a joking way.

I have looked many of these with Chelsea-players. This is the consensus with everyone. It is nothing serious. Maybe Sanchos are but..just to answer your question directly.

 

[Amputechture]

He threw a hissy fit for being subbed off at half time against Bayern despite the fact that his performance and work rate during that half were appalling. Seems to be a bit too egocentric for someone who's yet to make it at the biggest stage. He'll fit right in at United.

That's not to say that I doubt he'll score tons of goals throughout his career.

 

[big blue]

Would have loved him here. 

Superstar in the making.

Very expensive though, so im happy with Ziyech, Werner, and Havertz for a similar outlay.

 

[DarkMata]

Hopefully Man Utd balls up this transfer and we buy him at a cut price next season.

 

[Ballack & Blu]

Win win for us, if we lose Havertz to those jokers at OT, pay the money for him, a Politicking game of chess, with us in the boss seat.

It is looking increasingly likely that Sancho will be staying at Dortmund this season, I wonder if Chelsea will be looking towards him as a target for the next summer transfer window or whether we will look for squad options considering how many first team players we've brought in.

I can't see the club going after him for the foreseeable future as I think Rice will be the big target over the next 12 months considering he keeps his performance levels up.

 

[dansubrosa]

It’s certainly a possibility but you’d think after the huge spending this summer we’d want a couple of quiet windows.

Personally I think he’ll be off to United, wether it’s this year or next year.

Next window will definitely be quieter and its likely we dont really look at any attacking players or even midfield. All going to be defensive reinforcements. Will need to look for a successfor for Silva already given his age, and also someone quality to partner him with.

If we don't find a replacement for Kepa this year, then we still have to do that next year.

 

[Argo]

There's no chance we will be even looking in his direction now unless Ziyech epically flops and even then we'll go for a cheaper option.

And that might already be someone we have on the books ... (CHO)

It wont be a cut price, it will be the same amount as they want for him now.

Betcha he won't. Woodward couldn't organize an orgy in a brothel. There are still United fans who think we're a football club when, in fact, we are a business. The Glazers will not spend money. They've got their precious top four place and the cash it generates, and that's about the extent of their ambition. People point to the money spent by Van Gaal and Jose but look at the overall investment figures since 2013 then look at Chelsea. Even with a transfer ban, team investment has been excellent and Lampard has clearly been backed. Ole will be hung out to dry.

Not his fault - he keeps trying to drive through central London in his Mini.

I think with Grealish signing a new contract and Bale off to Spurs, Woodward and the board will splash the cash on Sancho. I don't think they have a choice at this point, If any of your front 3 get injured for any lengthy period United will struggled to make top 6 never-mind a CL place.

I'll believe it when I see it. The latest guff is that we're after Telles but I suspect PSG will get him. As for Bale, they say you can never go back (or is it you should never go back?). He's still got a season or two left in him I suppose and he's got a point to prove to Zidane that he's not all washed up.
