Naah ... the 350k thing isn't really necessarily true, it's probably 200k plus bonuses, and it won't be good for him as 23 yo to sit on a contract and do nothing for 2 years, he'll want to move for his own good or he will risk being jobless by the age of 25.
No they're upset with ETH for saying he needs to get his physical and mental fitness up and they react to that statement like he's told the world Sancho suffers from schizophrenia
If you're a Talksport listener, you surely know that their whole M.O. right? They say something stupid or controversial in order to get people phoning in or quoting them elsewhere.O’Hara claiming the treatment he’s receiving is disgusting and Cundy banging on about how you can’t make players train alone anymore because it’s cruel.
That'll happen regardless. He'll get the blame if we go up in smoke and everybody questions why he handled Sancho as he did.
On that topic, I am not sure why many are convinced that his salary is something low as 200k and rest is bonuses. When it came to De Gea 375k, Sanchez 350k, Casemiro 300k, Varane 310k, Bruno 240k and so on, everyone was pretty convinced.
It’s not as simple as that because Sancho was an incredibly expensive purchase and his salary (if the £350k a week or thereabouts is true) must be one of the biggest in world football . . In the top 10 or 20 maybe?
So it's Rashford fault now.
No but the rest of his post provided context, to the point singled out. Don't you agree that with everything going on, it has only added fuel to the fire? Honestly this season will be a disaster if we don't get out from underneath this crap, this has only made that task harder. But so be it if that's how he wanted to handle it. And I'm not saying don't discipline players, but right now I think it should have been done internally.
I think there’s about 5 other people who at least had something significant to do with the transfer of jandon Sancho who you should actually be angry about. Not a bloke who was once mates with him.
No but it would be nice if they had any type of interplay between them. And the hype Sancho brought was so high compared the complete dud he turned out to be.
No it’s a last resort to get Sancho to pull his head out of his own ass and realise his time here is in danger of ending.
"bit annoyed" isn't exactly angry or placing blame
Out of everything and everyone to be annoyed at in this scenario you've truly chosen the weirdest option.
Possibly so, but he left the door open by going public. And, as I've discovered in this thread, Sancho has previous for pushing back when criticised.
Yeah I think its largely due to Sancho being a dud.
Well I'm sure in 90 pages everyone else has milked this topic dry. My point is that when Rashford was hyping Sancho up in coming here, I thought they'd be a dynamic duo in attack but they've done nothing together. It would be like Bruno hyping up some midfield teammate at Portugal for us to sign, the team spends 100M on him and they have zero chemistry together. Its just more annoying and disappointing than anything else.
But then you have to think of it from Sancho’s perspective, if he is this lazy then it’s not exactly going to be better elsewhere for him. Unless goes Saudi or MLS where I think there’s such a drop in level he could coast and be successful, wherever he’s going the manager is going to expect basic punctuality and effort.
Dynamic duo would imply 2, so for what you wanted you would need BOTH to perform. One had a decent season last year getting a good G/A return that helped us get top 4, the other was Sancho. Seems a weird thing to be "annoyed" at but you do you boss.
You don’t think that ETH has maybe already tried everything possible to get a tune out of Sancho? It’s not as though he came out and said we shipped him off to Holland last season because he was stinking out the place in training (when that’s probably exactly what was happening) There’e only so long any manager can be expected to keep covering for a player who just isn’t producing.
Did you miss the guy that said Ten Hag was ‘ranting’ about Sancho and caused all this mess?
We didn’t open the cheque book because Rashford said he was a mate. I doubt his opinion was even considered at any point.
With the Saudi wave of signings coming with crazy packages, it's probably not at the top worldwide but -provided the north of 300k/week is right- probably top 10-20 in EPL and thus probably top 20-40 (rough guess) in UEFA (Really Bayern, PSG, Real and Barca... maybe a couple in Serie A ?).
Good post.
White text?
Yes it reminded me of that
Speaking of those people turning on the manager, I actually wonder how many of them can also be considered as those kids who never faced real parental discipline in order to get their (professional and/or personal) lives in order. Many parents have been abject failures in recent decades, and it is reflected in a number of footballers in the last decade or so.
Same with Sancho and his trip to the Netherlands.Yes it reminded me of that
Though LVG immediately followed it up by saying that Shaw had been put on an individual training plan, praised him for his application and made it clear that he would be available before long. Sancho seems like a lost cause.
Your proposed wording is terrible and ETH would get absolutely lambasted as being cracked and caving under the pressure.
I said I did not agree. Sancho made it a big story it didn’t have to be. Either way nothing wrong with what ETH said period.
Same but different. LVG was upbeat about it being of finite length and having the desired result.
I'll take you through these one at a time.
Mate, if Ten Hag pulls his pants down and take a dump in the centre of the pitch that would be one of more positive news from the club in the last months.
The main thing players in the MLS do is run ridiculous amounts. The quality is low but the athleticism is high. They would not put up with him walking around the pitch.
