The story on the ground in the UK that he’s always been eager to come back to England, even that he’s not happy in Germany. It certainly matches up.
Jadon Sancho | First player in Bundesliga history to score 25 goals before his 20th birthday

- Start date
Did daddy want mikitaryian and kagawa as well? At least they where relatively cheap flops. This one isn’t worth it, no way. Looks shit for England when he plays for them,
This actually is true.
I saw him play recently for Roma and my God, he was horrible. I dont know how we paid 35 million for him. He was playing right wing and would float in the center as well but the amount of time he gave away the ball while in great positions was just amazing.
Muller started late?
Cheers for Sancho for breaking it.

He's a class player, however he's not as explosive or as finished as someone like Sane and there's noticeable periods where his head seems to dip in matches for Dortmund.
The one biggest question mark I have with him is whether he'd be able to dribble effectively in a more compact and physical premier league.
Not spending £100m on him is probably the right choice given the question marks, but what makes no sense is signing someone who can actually play for our RW instead right now.

Dortmund were charging an exorbitant fee. I wonder if they rue not meeting us halfway. Still would have hit the motherload, now I'm not sure we'll go back. A lot depends on how Diallo does!
I'm thoroughly enjoying itYou love to see it
The icing on the cake would be him leaving next summer for a price much below what they wanted this year, because his heart and mind are clearly not at Dortmund anymoreHe was a weird one. He looked so good at Dortmund, but we can't even say that it was just him underperforming at United. He was crap for Arsenal and Roma as well.
I remember taking shit for saying he was overrated. Looks like a few other folk are coming around to it!
Woodward is clueless in a lot of things but he did well to resist here.
He was crap at Dortmund too for large periods.
I doubt Barca will let him go on loan in Jan now. He’s started firing for them!
I agree the damage was done Dortmund was fair to demand the price they quoted it's their own asset but they surely didn't highlight the negatives in the players attitude / mentality which is only natural as a result of the failed move. I don't recall seeing one positive affirmation to Sancho staying throughout the entire summer nor the period when the window finished. I feel he's head is well and truly gone.
Come on, a lot of United fans are antagonizing Dortmund because they didn't want to sell for your price so it's not unreasonable to assume that you want him to be unhappy there. However, there's as much evidence of Sancho being at a different place with his head as of voting fraud during the US election.
Everyone knows he wants to be in England. He’s very much out of form - can’t fault anyone for thinking it.
Nah not that weird. He had one good seasons at Dortmund and was average to shit the other seasons. He’s known as a mental fragile player
Must. Defend. The. Integrity. Of. The. Bundesliga
He's not been crap for Roma so far, i've watched most of his games there as i was curious to see if he would recover at all after a largely poor time in England and he had a few injuries at the start, but after that has been usually good and one of their best players this year. Still has all the same flaws and isn't suddenly going to become a player either club would want back, but has mostly kept a level about on par with his better games for United and Arsenal rather than going missing every other game.
He's a quality player in bad form after a turbulent summer transfer saga.
He's still only 20 its only natural for a player of such a young age to have a dip in form. Still think he needs a season or two to develope further and become more consistent in his performances.
Damn!!!!! Can't he get injured for a couple of weeks so that Koeman can think of bringing Depay. I really like Ousamane
I am trying to stay away from this US election thing but I get your point. I still feel though that Sancho is no where near the hype that is created. And I feel that it is schadenfreude that I like, him not performing. Maybe deep down inside I feel that if he doesn't perform well - and the no fan situation still persisting - we can get him for cheap next season
I would love to get your opinion as you are neutral with regards to the whole thing
I have watched a couple of games of Roma and since you seem to have watched more of him so you are in a better position to give a judgement but have you actually noticed that he is technically flawed. I don't know how our scouting network missed that.
I mean he can run with the ball and in Italian league people usually have much more spaces and exploits them well but he can't see a good pass and has to hold and look up everytime he needs to create something. Sometimes he runs 40 yards and then just gives the ball away.
5 assists in 5 games for Mkhitaryan, he's been good so far this season. Against Fiorentina, he laid it on a plate for Pedro after a superb movement from Veretout to Dzeko to him.
Well Harvetz was clearly a better all round player last season and he went for £72m. Sancho for £100m was insane. Be interesting to see how this plays out over the next couple of years.
He was?
Didn't the Dortmund board come out and say if they don't get €120m this summer then they'll get it next? Doubt he'll be moving anywhere next year either if they play hardball (which they will).
Mkhitaryan was utter shit for Dortmund too except for that season where he also mainly performed well in Europa league
Also the sole reason why Dortmund didn't knock out real during that Marco Reus masterclass in 2014.
If he is available next summer again, won't pay him more than 70m
that's because he's more likely to end up at your cross city neighbours than United
Yes, Harvetz last season and the season before showed a lot of very high level qualities. Finishing with both feet, timing of runs from midfield, excellent first touch, excellent vision. People are down on him at the moment as he hasn't set the world alight at Chelsea but I think there are mitigating circumstances for him; no pre-season, being played out of his best position (No.8) most of the time, adapting to a new league, needs to improve his strength.
I say give Harvetz 6-12 months and he will be considered a top 5 PL CM.
More like the typical Caf reactionary posts after most have just seen him play for the first time this season and have a poor game.
He played a brilliant pass to Haaland who should've done better with the cut back. He just didn't, nor has done this season, looked motivated for me.
He's 100% worth more than the €120m they wanted if you've watched enough of him, his talent ceiling is very, very high. Also, when wingers like Nicholas Pepe are going for £75m, Sancho is without a doubt worth the money they wanted.
Someone will get a bargain next summer for sure, no way Dortmund will be asking for the €120m they wanted this summer. Imo, they asked that as they thought we'd be silly enough to pull the trigger and of course we know we didn't as no club can afford that, even though he's worth it. As soon as clubs and finances recover post Covid, he's going to still hold his value at €120m for sure, he'll be top 3 players in 2-3 years imo.
Really surprised we weren't in for him over the summer
