They signed players like Ighalo and Neves who have done nothing, so why not Sancho?
Yo to The Mitcher.
Well as I see it, it’s because they need a mix of very highly paid big names and we’ll paid grafters.
Big names like Ronaldo, who has every trick in the book and can pull out a bit of magic now and then but who doesn’t do the running thing anymore, and grafters like Ighalo or Neves or whoever to do the hard work that they require to allow the big names to flourish.
They want grafters who’re serious professionals who’ll be effective and work their socks off.
Sancho is neither a big name, (he ‘had’ promise but he’s done nowt and won nowt) nor is he a grafter who’ll put in the hard yards . .
He’s also already on a £million a month hanging out with his mates and living the life of Riley so why would he want to live in a Sandy hot place miles from what he knows?
Anyhow, why would even an SA club sign him on a £million a month when so many seriously respected top quality footballers would jump at a chance to sign a 4 year contract to work in SA for less than Sancho gets paid (to chill out on home turf with his entourage), and they’d also do a better job of it than he could ever do?
It just doesn’t make sense to me, but it is a nice thought though.
