There's been 1 summer window since Covid, hardly a great sample size.
I missed Osihem, that's hugely surprising. Havertz and Dias are right around that mark (and both from clubs that don't need to make money, and owners who will have benefitted financially from this crisis), and similar to what Sancho should cost.
Yes. Pull the number of wide forward players that have had better productivity than Sancho over the past two seasons. This is kind of level and the type of company he’s been operating at:
Last season maybe, this season he's been shite for the main part.
There is absolutely zero evidence that we made any offer at all, never mind nearly $100m. That is extremely naive to believe these owners would sanction such a move. You are a victim of media speculation. What makes you think they didn’t walk away, other than media speculation and an interminable thread on Red Cafe? Call it extremely petty all you like but I, amongst thousands of long standing matchgoing reds are extremely pissed off at what was the world’s wealthiest club being used as an investment opportunity. I understand the flip side of Sancho, but it doesn’t alter the fact that he could have exerted more pressure without handing in a transfer request. Despite you having decreed “it is a myth...” again, you haven’t a clue. Ole has already implied Diallo will feature, not next but this season, and making noises about Shoretire. We have gone over a decade since Valencia was our last rw, so waiting another year for 3x current prospects would deem any idea of Sancho unnecessary and expensive. The Glazers are averse to expensive. ...and even if we had purchased Sancho, there is no chance we would’ve brought in vdb.
this is clearly rubbish considering how much times we have not scored in games or scored just 1 goal, we need a top ST and RW we have been crying out for both for years, yes we need CB and DM but lets not get clouded by scoring 9 goals the other night or 5 v Leipzig.
May be more so that we don't have a goal scoring CF. Getting a winger is meaningless unless he scores 20+ goals per season. We need someone who finishes chances.
like Sancho done last season ? and wont be far away come the end of this season considering he has 8 this season and not really performed most of it. even if we didnt get another striker we still need a RW
good thing my post said:
this season is still on-going so evidently I’m not talking about the current campaign. Sancho was out of form for roughly two months this season. He’s on 21 goal contributions in 25 games. In what world is that “shite”?
Fans have lost their minds these days. Hyperbole like "world class", "generational talent", "exceptional player" are throwaway phrases that get overused to the point of being meaningless.17 league games, three goals.
World class season
fecking Dan James numbers.
Pulled some bullshit stat about 21 goal involvement in 25 games, feck knows who against and in which competition.
It's pretty much the sign of a quality player as is also evident with Rashford. Not the best performances but they are productive.
It maybe a sign of a "promising" player but that don't make them worth 60-80M. How many players that look decent in Dortmund setup only to flame out elsewhere.
Sancho does have 8 goals and 13 assists this season in 25 games (actually 22 games if we go by minutes). 3 goals and 2 assists were in their cup against lower tier opposition, but the rest of the stats came in the Bundesliga and CL.
I love the don't understand football argument. Absolutely no way of knowing to what level any of us played to
It doesn't matter. You just don't understand football.I love the don't understand football argument. Absolutely no way of knowing to what level any of us played to
To be fair he is putting up Messi numbers when Messi was just a kid, at around 19-20. But then, like Ronaldo, Messi wasn’t as lethal during his early years.
Coronavirus was good for the football because the money on the transfer market was just ridiculous since the transfer of Neymar to Paris........for example a player like Sancho should cost maybe £60-70m in normal times.
Again. Past two seasons. I am not talking about 20/2117 league games, three goals.
World class season
fecking Dan James numbers.
Why are you discussing something that you’re not well informed about?
He has 3 league goals. Sorry if I wasn't clear. currently we have only Rashford and maybe Bruno who can get 15-20 league goals so we need another if we want any hope of challenging
Still rather we get Grealish
same. He is already one of the best players in our country/league. I am sold on Grealish more so now. He don't need goals or assists to be the best player on the pitch due to his build up
There are no RWs in the world. They don’t exist, or are merely an illusion. It’s an empty position to be filled with other kinds of players, mainly LWs or RBs.So say The Ed.
I'm pretty up to speed on Jadon Sancho thanks very much, i use my eyes and watch football matches he plays in rather than stat websites.Again. Past two seasons. I am not talking about 20/21
Me: He’s had back to back world class seasons.
You: Really?
Me: Evidently I’m not talking about 20/21. This season isn’t even over.
You: 3 goals in 17. Daniel James.
What the feck. It’s OK to say you misread or misunderstood something. You don’t have to play obtuse.
Why are you discussing something that you’re not well informed about?
The problem with judging a player on stats. You don't know exactly how he will fit the team. If people who have watched Dortmund in CL and in BL, they will be aware that alot of his goals have come on the counter, Rashy would score the same if not more in that league.
“feck knows who against and in which competition”. Direct quote from you. Evidently you’re not.
Simply put. For 100m the player has be THE match winner. A guy who you can rely on to win you games but also push you on to challenge for titles. I am talking like when Real bought Cristiano or even Gareth Bale. Nowadays players move for 100m and they are just an additional piece in the side and rarely justify their cost. That said he is very young so you would get more value from someone like Jadon IF he succeeds
Get back to your stats websites for wank mate, failing that fire up Champ Manager.“feck knows who against and in which competition”. Direct quote from you. Evidently you’re not.
I like how you skipped over the fact you misunderstood a statement, acted a buffoon, and now you’re pivoting our exchange to “he’s not passing my eye test. the jury is still out if he’s worth £100m. Something something England”
Respectfully, feck your eye test and all that bullshit you’re talking about. I do not care.
I agreed with someone else’s assessment of Sancho. You quoted me questioning my “he’s had back to back world class seasons” statement. I said go look at 2018/19 and 2019/20, pull up the numbers and compare it against his peers. I even helped you out with a link showing the kind of company he’s found himself next to in terms of productivity.
You randomly started talking about a season that hasn’t even concluded yet, one that’s supposed to be a season in which “he’s been shite”, but even then, the guy has 8 goals and 13 assists in 25. Now it’s “my eye test”
It’s OK though. It’s fine to have different opinions on players. Mine just aligns closer to @Zehner than everybody else’s I’ve read here.
