Huh? Call me old fashioned, but I'd say at least couple of seasons before passing final judgement on a 21yo transfer from abroad? Especially when the club has been such an irredeemable mess during most of his time here?
People forget. We had three managers in 14 months (that's how long he's been here), two of which had no tactical plan. We had an attack centred around Ronaldo and completely lacking any cohesion, fluidity or rhythm. It was only 6 months ago Rashford was completing his worst season on record and people were writing him off and saying we shouldn't even renew. Martial, who's now going to spearhead our attack, was completing a failed loan to Sevilla and was as good as gone for most of us. Even Bruno had a bad season and was being questioned and criticised. It was a very messy time at the club, even for players who had been here for years and had proved their worth to us. Imagine how much more so for a young player with a heavy price tag and huge burden of expectation, who had only just arrived.
Sancho has shown exceptional ability and form in the past, even if not for this club. With the club now becoming more stable since ETH got the vote of confidence and with Ronaldo gone, he should have at least the rest of the season to prove he can be better than what he's shown so far and to find some consistency.
