The Sabitzer thread is the one we need to be going into. He's playing great.

It depends on if he apologises to the manager and the rest of the squad and gets on with it. It won’t happen but that’s the only way.
fecking him off and getting Amrabat instead is another of the many confusing decisions we’ve made recently
He had a few decent bits of link up play, like the nice pass to Sabitzer for the Brandt goal but he's not been all that good. He's tried getting past his man but failed to beat the full back more often than not. I don't think he was as bad as others have made out but he failed to make a significant mark on the game.
Urgh don’t even want to think about this… how did this happen?
He has 6.4 on SofaScore, in a game where Dortmund are winning 4:2.
I'm assuming he was awful?

I'd say he was decent. Lost some balls, but was also involved in some great chances, like giving the pre-assist to the 2-0. Still nothing special, but far from being awful.
Let's also not forget his wages. Even if he didn't play bad ( I thought he was average) did he play like a 320 thousand pound per week kind of player? A superstar? I do not think so.
Oh, theyre through. Let's hope Dortmund win the CL with some great Sancho stuff that might, just might convince Dortmund to take the plunge. I do wish him all the best.

Not that he needs another stick to be beaten with right now but I don’t sense that our Erik is great at building a squad
Hopefully if he stays all these recruitment decisions are no longer with him
He's always just neat and pointless
Awful is probably an overstatement, he wasn't good though. Lost the ball trying to take on his full back too much. Wasn't guilty of missing big chances or fecking up good attacking situations but generally didn't have a huge impact on attacks for Dortmund. Sabitzer and Brandt were more at the heart of the good attacking play.
He did well at United considering the circumstances, was surprised we didn’t sign him.
Absolutely not, certainly not the type of performance that will have BVB thinking seriously about buying him.
He had injuries and we wouldn’t use our (limited) funds on him?
We spent 60 million on Mason Mount.
Riding on the coat tails of his team mates. Been poor since he went back there.
Matched ETH's career highlight today. Fair play.
Because they play different positions and Sabitzer wasn’t great for us when he was where? Pretty simple.
Some would say overtly conservative
Wow some very disappointed posters in here 
Congrats Sancho gone further in the Champions League than we have in over ten years

tbf people seem mostly disappointed with not signing Sabitzer? Sancho is irrelevant in this teamWow some very disappointed posters in here

Let us pray it is enough to trick somebody into bidding 40m
Wouldn`t hurt if this guy got his shit together. There is for sure a player in there somewhere.
Could get us a good fee if he served up some magic in the CL

No he didn't. He was average at best.
Glad we didn’t. Bang average.
Djimi Traore is a Champions league winner, shall we get him in as manager?
Looking forward to flogging him to be honest.
And let’s forget about Xabi Alonso, what a loser.
Sabitzer is really the one who got away.
time to part ways with Sancho while he still have value.
Keep it up Sancho lad and hopefully someone will be fooled into buying you.
it was a perfect YouTube game for Sancho, enough nice touches and dribbles to form a compilation. In reality he couldn’t beat his man and just recycled possession. Sabitzer on the other hand was immense as an advanced midfielder. Hopefully someone gives us 40-50 mill for Sancho
Sabitzer was average when played deep. Looked a fair bit better when played in a more attacking role though.
It seemed to make sense to let him go and bring in Amrabat, but then ETH's turned around and changed our tactics this season to play with two attacking midfielders so in hindsight it is a bit strange we weren't interested in bringing Sabitzer in full-time.
Agreed, at best the argument is we should have signed Sabitzer and not bothered with Mount last summer. Amrabat has been poor but it's the right type of player we needed and still need...just at a much higher level.
I just don't think that could ever happen, and don't think he has the right mentality for the very top level.
People sure do have a selective memory when it comes to certain players.
Sancho wasn't great, but neither was Sabitzer. His highlight were those two goals against Sevilla, and that was only when he was moved as a 10, with Bruno deeper, simply because he didn't have the ability to control games and was pretty much anonymous for large parts of the game.
Fact is, neither of them were good enough, but I still believe Sancho is a fantastic football player.

In fairness he played that role for two games and then his season was over.
His loan spell is not going well, is it? Not a good indicator for the future.
It's not going terrible either. He is well involved in Dortmund's play and justifies his starting spot in the team, but he definitely isn't as effective for them as he once was.
Hannover, schiess ein Tor! Sorry, got carried away.
Agre, not terrible. But he's supposed to be a differentiated player, not perform like a squad player. I'm not confident about his career to reach the full potential at the moment.
