Good job we still have Neto and Felix then! 

As i said, not needed. 

Neto can't play every game, he needs to be managed. Not sure Felix's best position is on the wing either my man....

Sancho grew up a Chelsea fan in Camberwell, South London. So that is a good thing.

I think he is a good player. The issue is why do we need so many wingers/attacking mids?

where does this leave Chukwuemeka?  Does he have a loan lined up?

How dare you forget the Mighty Mudryk 

Ornstein just said we've signed Sancho on loan with an obligation to buy next summer.

Loan with obligation to buy done according to Athletic.

Pointless signing. 

Give it a month before there is trouble with him.

Jesus, what the f**k are we doing ?

Does that mean we have to buy him if we or he reaches certain targets ?

I would rather we'd gone for Trossard to sweeten the Sterling deal. That doesn’t make sense either with the amount of players we have but it makes more sense if it's all about getting Sterling off the wage.

Irrespective of any target. It's an obligation.

It's not an option to buy ? Meaning we could buy if we want to.

An obligation seems like we are obliged to buy him ?

Even if he's sh*t ?

So what's the point of a year's loan if we have to buy him anyway?

Or is it 1 don't understand the meaning of the word obligation? Wouldn't be a surprise TBF 

🤣

 

Clearlake transfer strategy is like when you go shopping for a new laptop becasuse you desperately need one and instead come back home with a couple of used microwaves and a donkey.

What if Shields is pushing for him?

 

This time next year there will be strong emotions when that obligation kicks in. Either cause we're delighted and can't believe our luck he's ours, or utter disappointment that we'll have to commit to signing him.

Let's hope it's the former.

Not an option, an obligation. Even if he's sh*t, yes. 

They did a loan for this year's financial books and the permanent transfer will be registered for the next financial year that will begin July 1st, 2025. 

Romano saying the fee was set at 25M.

Sancho is a very good footballer, if he replicates the form he had last season in Chelsea shirt then the rumoured obligation of £25m is a bargain. I don't really think we needed him but I'd rather have too many good players than not enough. Maybe it's just the toxic cloud of Man Utd that didn't bring the best out of him, who knows.

It’s a good price but we don’t need him. 

Only makes sense if Mudryk is off. Which isn’t happening. 

edit:

Should have loaned him to Strasbourg for free. That would have made sense wouldn’t it!!

The problem is not his quality as a player but his lack of discipline (reported he’s late for training, for example) and his laziness. We already went over that with Felix, he’s done alright in the first game, but we’ll see how he fares over the season. And we are gambling again with Sancho. Not required for the risks that are involved.
