You're underrating his technical ability. And you're overstating what Neymar had accomplished by age 20, having just turned 21. I don't really have a problem with anyone saying Neymar is more talented than Sancho. I just don't think you can compare their careers at similar ages and conclude Neymar being on another level. Just look at players like Hazard and Neymar. It's not like they just came to the PL and La Liga and automatically delivered the same output as their previous seasons. They too had to adjust and then took a leap thereafter.

There is no guarantee Sancho takes that leap. However, I don't find it reasonable to conclude he can't make that leap.

Sancho has always been an elite talent like Foden, and the seasons he has had is not unexpected unlike say Rashford who did not look the same caliber of talent at age 16-17.

Unbelievable talent. He’d be our best player

We played alot of games last season with James and Mata on the wings, we cannot afford to go into another season with no out and out RW.

The reason Rashford has had to play so many games, we don't have another winger with pace and output, getting sancho means we can rotate whilst not losing quality.

Sancho is not an “Out and out RW”
He can play on either wing and could probably do a job as a #10.

Sign Sancho, stop Chelsea buying Haaland.

Now the deal has even more weight.

It won't change things too much. Bruno will still give the ball away. Rashford will still trip over his own feet trying something dazzling. Pogba will still put it on a plate for the opposition strikers while attempting a sideways/backwards pass. AWB will continue to blister towards the byline before shitting himself and passing it back to midfield. Utd's centrebacks will keep looking like Rugby player's playing football. Even if Utd manage to sign Sancho it will only improve the team slightly.

So the fact that we came second for you PROVES that we're bottle merchants?! Nice one pal.

Not the second place that Utd almost squandered. More the EL final, not burying Liverpool, the Istanbul miracle and getting a nose bleed at the top of the table.

Least we’ve got some humour to lighten the place up.

Nearly 50 pages in a week and still no sign of Sancho.

This can only mean one thing: you guys aren't posting enough! He's not gonna summon himself, is he!?

He is more suited to the RW than any of our players. Just because he can play other positions doesn't mean he isn't a RW.

Apparently we are planning for him to sign his contract just before he takes his penalty in the shootout against Germany in the semi-final and when he scores he will have a t-shirt that says ‘YOU LOVE TO SEE IT ZORC!”


Will be fantastic if true.

If we get a quality CM and CB, then a Kane or a Haaland would probably get ut the title instead of Sancho.
Not that i believe this will happend though.

Dortmund were finishing 5th, Haaland wasn't scoring until Sancho came back from injury.
