What's new

Jadon Sancho

I swear this link plus the Calvert Lewin one are just moves to make Napoli drop the Osimhen price. I can't see any reason why we'd want either player.

At the bare minimum, we need two, a Striker and an organiser/captain in defence.

  It’s his wage demands. Apparently wants half a million a week.

 
...why?

Even at his absolute best, he doesn't get into the side ahead of Madueke on current form, let alone Palmer. 

I think he's a potentially a great player but I do wonder if his window for growth has passed him by due to ten Hag. He's not exactly a saleable asset if it goes tits up, either.

 
I guess the logic is - you take one of our problems and we take one of your problems. This only happens if someone goes the other way (Sterling or chillwell)   Presumably the hope is the incoming player is on lower wages than the outgoing player and so you have made a marginal gain.

But He's on 350k a week at Utd apparently.

He’d probably need to accept like 100k to sign with us so thats not happening

Clearly we are trawling around trying to find deals to manoeuvre Lukaku, Sterling and Chilwell wages out of the club. This Sancho deal will be a facility to move either Sterling or Chilwell out. But even if Sancho were to significantly drop his wages (and why would he) where would he play here? The only player he would be in front of would be Mudryk.  Can't see this tbh. Not on a footballing level anyway 

 
NOOOOOOO

stop bringing in players who wont improve the team or squad

he can't get in front of Neto/Nkunku on left (Mudryk will be back up)

he can't get in front of Madueke/Neto on right (palmer)

SO WHY BUY HIM?

 
Competition for places is good. Sancho is better than Mudryk. He's a baller. 

However, once again I'm worried about attitude. If he's on 120k with performance related bonuses then sure. If not, then pass.

 
I imagine if we are interested, it is Joe Shields is pushing for it, based on good experiences with him from their Manchester City days. I think Sancho at City pre-dated Maresca, so doubt he is in the loop.  Possible also that the SDs might think Sancho can double his current value if he has one half decent season ... ?

Can't see it happening though, His wages at United are far too high, and there is too much off-field baggage associated with him.

Sancho is more similar to Nkunku than to an out n out winger and we have 2 of those already in the book with Nkunku n Felix. 

 
Mate of mine in Germany says his attitude is the issue. Doesn't think punctuality applies to him, doesn't especially like training. Dortmund got the best out of him by indulging him. He and ten Hag were always a disaster waiting to happen.

Well, we bought Felix just to get Conor out so who knows. As a winger in Enzos system I’d put him behind Noni and Neto who both are naturals as a right winger, while  Nkunku, Palmer and Felix all do their best work in the middle so I’d say there’s a place for him. We are too stacked with attacking 8/10’s in my opinion - not wingers

Didn’t Maresca not mention that Noni needs to show more in training if he wants to be picked?  Something along the lines of if you don’t show up in training you won’t play.  Given Sanchos issues with training and punctuality I don’t see this working very well.  

I’d rather give Chiesa a chance if we’re to gamble on another winger.

Good player Chiesa but  his legs are made of glass. Missed around 80 games over the last 3 seasons.

Have you watched Sancho for the passed 3 years? He's yet another player that was taken out of a system built for him, in a league that suited him best, and is now struggling. Many players coming out of Germany end up like this. System players are very hard to make work in the Premier League.

Even that doesn’t make much sense. For us to get a return on him he’ll have to be playing which I can’t see.

No one is going to bid on him at the numbers we would require.

Its completely crazy that we are talking about selling on a player we haven’t even signed yet but that’s the state of our transfer policy.
