Thats an understatementThis thread is a fecking train wreck.
Hes probably been the one player that can hold his head up high from the wreck weve had recently.

100% this. The one positive from this season (apart from maybe De Gea) and flooded with negativity after a single average game when the rest of the squad has been average for the entire season.Thats an understatement

It is quite clear how fans rate players these days, its nothing to do with watching a player play to make a decision.He's reached no where near his potential so far, but how anyone can't see a very, very talented player in him is a mystery.
Doesn’t really explain Grealish inclusion then does it. He’s been good for about 2 games!Sancho has had about a month worth of decent form and been poor before that, the crying about him not being in the england squad is weird. Probably the same people who used to cry about AWB not being selected.
He was always a waste of money. A blip of half decent form is all it is - a blip.Wait why is Sancho getting bashed all of a sudden? Has been one of our most consistent performers the last few months after a rocky start to his United career, now he's back to being a waste of money?
I’ve never seen you make a positive post about anything related to United. I wonder why.He was always a waste of money. A blip of half decent form is all it is - a blip.
Go log off, you are not welcome here.He was always a waste of money. A blip of half decent form is all it is - a blip.
I've thought this for quite a while now.It is quite clear how fans rate players these days, its nothing to do with watching a player play to make a decision.
Most fans now only look at stats because if anyone has watched sancho play lately, its obvious how good he is.
Genuinely think there is a large swathe of fans who only watch highlight reels and also expect any wide player to be an absolute pace merchant. Sancho started really poorly but has steadily got better all within a pretty restrictive system and without much attacking support - he’s the one player we have who actually looks like he has an elite ceiling.Wait why is Sancho getting bashed all of a sudden? Has been one of our most consistent performers the last few months after a rocky start to his United career, now he's back to being a waste of money?
There are some players you just have to watch to realise they are really good players, Sancho is one of them. He is so technical, he knows how to play football. Its that simple.I've thought this for quite a while now.
I don't think half of these online football fans even watch games, rather dig up whatever they can find on whoscored and drop stat bombs in their intellectual dick measuring contests on Twitter.

Yes, in the same vein as that line from Trainspotting.A blip of decent form?
Because Southgate hasn’t picked him I think.Wait why is Sancho getting bashed all of a sudden? Has been one of our most consistent performers the last few months after a rocky start to his United career, now he's back to being a waste of money?
I wouldn't worry too much. It may take a while but in the end the majority will accept (albeit in some cases grudgingly) that once again we've been absolutely rinsed by a club for a player who is nowhere close in value to the amount we ended up paying.There’s some right fecking morons in this thread.
Oh you thought I was against his signing, nah I’m very much a fan of his pal. He’s already settled down after a shaky start and has been one of our best players the last few months. I think after having a season to bed in we’ll see him go from strength to strength. Next season we’ll see exactly why we paid £75m for him.I wouldn't worry too much.

Guess we should pass on the likes of Haaland, Nkunku, and Bellingham, then.It is quite obvious that stats from the Bundesliga do not mean much in the PL. The last guy Mhiki who we signed also had great stats in the same inferior league. Hopefully Sancho will do better if we rebuild around him and Bruno.
Nope, since they have the physique to prosper in the PL. Sancho is a talented creative player who is dependent on strong runners around him. We do not have that. 73m is too much for a wide forward who can't go past players. He is still young and he will improve but it is obvious that we lack the knowledge to buy players such as Mane, Salah, Jota, Firmino, Diaz for 30-50m and then develop them into top/world class players.Guess we should pass on the likes of Haaland, Nkunku, and Bellingham, then.
United have lacked identity for years and that has directly impacted their ability to then identify players that fit their identity. Liverpool's main forwards are all mobile, agile, strong, and pacey with the requisite level of technical ability.Nope, since they have the physique to prosper in the PL.

He averages more dribbles per game than all the players you mentioned except Mbappe who doesn't play in the PL.Not compared to most top wide forwards. Salah, Mane, Jota, Mbappe. In which games in the PL has he beaten any defender by pace? 9 times out of 10 he runs at the defender for a few yards, stops and passes sideways or backwards. A 40m player with a 35m English tax. Similar to Maguire and AWB.
Fred has been excellent lately what you on about?This boy's a keeper. More Sanchos less McFreds
I'm about more than a few weeks. McT has also been great for a few weeks. Consistency is what "im on about."Fred has been excellent lately what you on about?
We have even worse supporters.Jota, 40m, 13 PL goals
Sancho, 73m, 3 PL goals
We have terrible scouts.
with klopp as his manager in a very very high functioning team.We have even worse supporters.
Jota - STRIKER, 25 years, 4.5 years in the prem, 18 months at Liverpool.
Sancho - WINGER, 21 years, 6 months in the prem.
At least be fair.
He hasn't even finished his first season here...He was always a waste of money. A blip of half decent form is all it is - a blip.
We can't scout players and we can't scout managers, that is a very fair statement. Or do you think we got fair deals for Maguire, AWB, Pogba, Donny? Only 1 of them started on Tuesday. Do you prefer Sancho at 73m over Jota at 40m? Liverpool can only compete with City since they have outstanding scouts and a board which can identify a good manager.We have even worse supporters.

I think we are absolutely shite at recruitments, probably the worst in Europe. But this is the Jadon Sancho performance thread, not the United recruitments thread. And on the topic of Jadon, your comparison and evaluation of him vs Jota was flawed on multiple levels. I don't care if he is worth a Jota or not, what I know is that he looks highly promising and it's a bit early to judge his ceiling.We can't scout players and we can't scout managers, that is a very fair statement.

No disrespect, but that's a pretty dim comparison.Jota, 40m, 13 PL goals
Sancho, 73m, 3 PL goals

Smith Rowe has had a much better season than Sancho overall, 9 goals in the premier league compared to Sancho's 3, and just like Grealish he can also play in a central role which gives Southgate more tactical options. Grealish's all around game is more polished as you'd expect since he's a lot more experienced so it's not at all surprising that Southgate prefers the more seasoned player. United players don't have a divine right to be in the england squad, Sancho has been poor most of the season so he's got nothing to complain about. He hasn't had a better season than either Smith Rowe or Grealish. It's the same juvenile crying everytime the england squad is announced and a particular united player isn't in there. It used to be AWB that people were crying about not being in there, despite the protestations of the red tinted spec wearers Southgate was spot on. The people who complained about it at the time won't come on here and admit they were wrong though.Doesn’t really explain Grealish inclusion then does it. He’s been good for about 2 games!
Smith Rowe has completed only 2 half’s of a game in their last 13 league games. So he doesn’t even have any form to judge by.
Do your research before cluelessly posting dude.
So you do not care if we paid 45m, 73m, or 108m for Sancho? I don't think Liverpool have paid 73m for any player even though Allison and Dijk were close.I think we are absolutely shite at recruitments, probably the worst in Europe.
