true I didn't see the whole england-Czech R game but he didn't do enough against a pretty ordinary side to be worth £100m!

Baffling that this still needs to be said really, isn't it? Crazy how knee-jerk everyone is.Player shouldn't be rated on game by game basis.
Yeah, we have game by game analysis for players, half by half, min by min analysis for coaches. It's just crazy how imperfect players and coaches are.Baffling that this still needs to be said really, isn't it? Crazy how knee-jerk everyone is.
I know what you’re saying but he’s not in that league of players just yet!A 19 year old player is getting double figures in goals and assists in a top 5 league and there are some not fancying him. They must have thought Neymar was too skinny or that Mbappe was just a pace merchant. Remember when we used to buy the best young talents for big fees. Ferdinand, Ronaldo and Rooney turned out alright didn't they?
He absolutely is. Do you think these players turned world class over night? Ferdinand came at 24, which is young for a centre back. He also did not know what it meant to play for a massive club like us, but was told quickly by the likes of Keane. You just have to get these types of players, because the pay off is so massive. Rooney, Hazard, Neymar, Mbappe etc. Players that are just as good as many seasoned pros at a young age.I know what you’re saying but he’s not in that league of players just yet!
In the case of Rio he had several seasons at West Ham and Leeds learning the game before we moved for him and his first game for us was very underwhelming.
Sancho needs to be the player we need to take us forward or it’s a waste of the players talent and ambition
Nah, just had some fannies laughing as they had no idea who he was or his abilities.Is that you, Mr. Farage?
Fully agree with you. This is the current generation's Wayne Rooney transfer scenario, absolutely vital we secure him.
Nah, wouldnt complain cause dont think he'd make any difference as yet anyway. Good potential but like many on here, like to see more than a few youtube videos and a couple of internationals before throwing 'whatever it costs' at it. I like more substance than hype as we already had our fingers burnt twice by these lot. Both occasions we signed the best player in Germany at that time.....Yep, Liverpool splashed big money to get their targets in a GK/CB
You'll be the first complaining that we are only good enough for 5th position and not challenging City / Liverpool
Chong will get his chance, but he's not looked ready yet, he needs more time. Sancho can play the left or right side equally well, we need a wide player If martial gets injured for the left, and he's guaranteed starter on the right. Sanchez/Mata are not good enough.
Yes if Madrid/Barca tried to buy Rashford they'd have to pay similar, but they won't as we won't sell him. That's the difference.
For Dortmund to sell we have to give them an offer they can't refuse, and it's big money. You pay what they want, or you move on.
Having a wide player who is an individual danger, can take on a man and provide assists or score goals is a huge difference.Nah, wouldnt complain cause dont think he'd make any difference as yet anyway.

None of that actually exists, they were spontaneously created by hype and youtube compilations. Sancho has no substance but Lingard and Mata doHaving a wide player who is an individual danger, can take on a man and provide assists or score goals is a huge difference.
While Lingard does a great job of pressing and linking up play, he is no danger by himself from a wide position. We need a player to keep the width to stretch the pitch but he often comes inside and congests things.
He would definitely make a big impact.Nah, wouldnt complain cause dont think he'd make any difference as yet anyway.

BS in my opinion.any reliable sources linking us? or just BS?
A nothing story really. Although he might of course stay, that’s what the BD sports director would say either way. Especially if one or more clubs are interested and they want some serious money.
You're obviously not getting £100m worth of quality at this point. What we'd be buying, is potential.true I didn't see the whole england-Czech R game but he didn't do enough against a pretty ordinary side to be worth £100m!
Sancho isn't 100% fit.I am surprised southgate picked Hudson-Odoi ahead of Sancho today.
You've posted this exact same thing, word-for-word in the Hudson-Odoi thread. How can you say he has been through the "rough and tumble of the PL" when he has started zero games in it?Odoi is a better player than Sancho. He is more mature, physically stronger and more confident, and has been thru the rough and tumble of the PL whilst Sancho is playing in a one-team league full of junk outfits. I'm sure even Bayern are now bored to death in that league.

feck me hes only been linked to Utd and hes injuredSancho isn't 100% fit.
Agree and a great prospect but the figures are absolutely ridiculous based on one season. Its a massive gamble and the pressure on this lads shoulders would be ridiculous....especially if we give him the number 7 shirt. Lets see if hes the real deal after another season or a compromise is buy him and loan him back.Having a wide player who is an individual danger, can take on a man and provide assists or score goals is a huge difference.

Why loan him back?Agree and a great prospect but the figures are absolutely ridiculous based on one season.

So, what is your point, he can justify the supposed price tag if he plays eight more games this season? Ok, lets be petty Mbappe cost £130m if Sancho costs 100m he needs to play approximately 33 more mins this season.....seriously?57 games according to his wiki, 47 so far for Sancho. So needs 10 more games for Dortmund to match the games MBappe played at Monaco and there are 8 games left for them this season
Need more than one season in a lesser league to make that judgement before handing over record fee.He would definitely make a big impact.
Its his second season thoughNeed more than one season in a lesser league to make that judgement before handing over record fee.
