No-one is going to give us a good portion of our money back for him. His wages will be a big problem in any sale. We'd be lucky to net anything at all when you consider how much of his wages we will still have to pay off I imagine. Which is also why it's very likely he won't leave this summer, as they will keep up the hope that he may come good rather than take a huge financial loss on him.It’s early to say it, but if someone was willing to give us a good portion of our money back this summer it might make sense for all involved. We’re two seasons in and he looks further away than ever.
If only we did get Grealish. He seems made for Utd. Oh well.The truth is they probably ended up going to the wrong team. Grealish is better suited to a team like United where he can pick up the ball and run at the defence like Rashford does at his best whereas Sancho is better suited to a pass and move style plus he already showed how well he could link up with Haaland.
. He is way better than sancho and is really starting to find his feet . City fans who watch him every week really rate him . He was man of match yesterday . Has sancho ever being man of match for us .Look at Grealish he's not exactly been great has he?
He wouldn't play in that City side. They all have a minimum of physicality, determination and intensity. And those who don't are swiftly shipped out. It's time we do the same.Weird thing is, if Sancho is playing in that City side, he won't look out of place. Seriously.
Or Saidy JankoI think there was a mix up with the fax machine and we signed Sadon Jancho.
According to the Telegraph, the United players wanted the club to sign Grealish but Solskjaer wanted Sancho.If only we did get Grealish. He seems made for Utd. Oh well.
No he wouldn’t, look at the likes of Sterling (who did far more than Sancho probably ever will do as a player) and Philips, the moment you stop performing you’re dropped and shipped out at City. At Utd, we seem to hold on to deadwood and even give them new contracts, Phil Jones is still here somehow.Weird thing is, if Sancho is playing in that City side, he won't look out of place. Seriously.
A futile question where Woodward is concerned. And Ole, perhaps.Is he seriously on 350k / week? Why? We had no competition when we signed him and he desperately wanted to join. All the bargaining power should've been on our side of the wage negotiations.
I seem to remember that. Madness by Ole if true.According to the Telegraph, the United players wanted the club to sign Grealish but Solskjaer wanted Sancho.

We needed a RW and last time I checked Grealish is not a RW.I've yet to see him play one good game over 90 minutes. One game where I'm like "yeah, I see why we went for him". For us or England.
Other lightweight AMs we've had in recent years like Kagawa, Mkhi and Mata all had games that gave me hope despite none of them ultimately being good enough. I've not seen Sancho come anywhere near to some performances these had, and they didn't exactly set the highest bar. Even Lingard showed more.
Grealish was such the obvious choice yet we prioritised both Donny and Sancho over him. Flippin' 'eck.
I didn't look at it like that. I looked at us needing players who could dribble, keep the ball under pressure, and bring some composure to our play. Grealish, to me, was the best option, was available, and would've come.We needed a RW and last time I checked Grealish is not a RW.
You should go back and look at the posters that were raving about VDB being proven in Europe and how he was a better option than Grealish.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
That's a ridiculous take. Not only is Bellingham clearly better than Sancho, but the probable premier league player of the season was just bought from them.People wanking over Jude Bellingham here...
That's the reason. Stay clear of Dortmund
Donny is not suited to the Premier League but to say he was rubbish at Ajax is idiotic!I didn't look at it like that. I looked at us needing players who could dribble, keep the ball under pressure, and bring some composure to our play. Grealish, to me, was the best option, was available, and would've come.
It's not hindsight for me. I said Donny was rubbish at Ajax when we were being linked with him. I said I'd always take Grealish over Sancho whilst he was still at Dortmund being raved about.
I don't even think we needed a RW. Our front three (the three Ms) looked awesome together at the time. What we needed was someone to compliment them and add some control to the team.
What has he done to 'deserve' one more season, exactly? The guy is a flop in every possible way.He deserves ones more season under Erik to seek major improvement or I’d try to cash in after next season if still not up to it.
Two years chasing after an excellent young career in the bundesliga and champions league and with age on his side, you can’t be getting rid yet. And with another season of this manager to get the best out of him after a troubled campaign with the various personal issues reported. Plus we’re not big enough anymore to splurge £75 million and if it’s no good, we just throw it away without a fight.What has he done to 'deserve' one more season, exactly? The guy is a flop in every possible way.
We're probably going to get stuck with him because of the glazernomic hangover and his wages, but we really cannot be tolerating this level of gross underperformance. Almost 2 seasons now. He deserves nothing from us.
He suited their team, and a weak league, but his lack of quality was always evident. People point to their impressive CL run and his contribution but de Jong absolutely carried that midfield.Donny is not suited to the Premier League but to say he was rubbish at Ajax is idiotic!
He's not an upgrade though. Lingard produced way more than Sancho and cost us nothing.He's become like an upgraded version of Jesse Lindgard imo. No idea what's going on with him at all.
He can go.
If we can get 40m in the summer to move him on I'd take it.I was one of the chief cnuts who was sold by his dazzling displays in Bundesliga. I bought the hype.
As much as I wish him well, he isn’t it. He’s far from it.
You absolutely can, and should, if he's obviously not going to be good enough. Way too much patience and loyalty shown in the last decade to players that don't deserve it.Two years chasing after an excellent young career in the bundesliga and champions league and with age on his side, you can’t be getting rid yet.
I actually think Dortmund would absolutely love him back. Unfortunately we’ve stitched ourselves up with the contract we’ve given him.If we can get 40m in the summer to move him on I'd take it.
That's another thing with Sancho. That contract we gave him. We need to stop giving players big contracts when they've done nothing to deserve it. At least make certain he's the type who won't coast through once he's "made it". Don't think Sancho has the drive and that contract has made him rest on his laurels a tadI actually think Dortmund would absolutely love him back. Unfortunately we’ve stitched ourselves up with the contract we’ve given him.
Easy to say in hindsight, Sancho had a higher reputation and was younger and seemed to have more potential.I seem to remember that. Madness by Ole if true.
