Happy Sancho Weekend
Is Jordan Sancho OK?
Rio Ferdinand and Alan Smith came after Cantona, but yes they’d rather not sell to us in particular.
I'm expecting Dave to do the announcement in rap form. He's just writing the bars, that's why we've not announced it yet.
Get the feeling this is happening this Summer.
This is nailed on
Wow it’s almost like they are negotiating and haven’t just set a RRP on him that everyone has to adhere to.
Jadon?
Probably have stuff saved from last summer, just changing the shirt number from 7 to something else. Sancho week.
It's purley positional id say. Grealish doesn't help our right hand side.
If Pogba was leaving I would hope we go all out for Grealish
Grealish has played well from both sides, just like Sancho has. Sancho has actually played a lot from the left of late, if I'm not mistaken.
Its going to be long Summer again
Yes but Sancho has played almost entire seasons from the right. Grealish practically never has.
Signing Grealish with the plan of playing him in the right would probably just end up with him earning the left hand side spot imo.
It's important to make sure we have more right hand side options.
I agree that Grealish is better than Sancho and for me he should be the man to replace Pogba.
When has Grealish ever played out on the right?
He's played more centrally at times at the 10 but he almost exclusively plays on the left side
I tend to see Grealish not stick exclusively to his position but drift regardless. Same for Sancho too. He may well start left but I tend to see him. Cropping up all over the front where he finds pockets of space.
This seems fully jONdON sONchON now.
Although I said pretty much the same thing last summer, so what the hell do I know?

I seem to remember him playing there once or twice, or maybe he just drifted out there as he put in some excellent crosses.
To be honest I think he'd be good wherever he plays, he played CM for Villa in the Championship the season they went up and he was fantastic. He's talented enough to play wherever.
I’d love to see Grealish and Sancho here because I think we’d instantly be miles better but people have to be realistic. At least one of Rashford or Greenwood should always be playing the wings. Signing the 2 lads currently is overkill when our holes have holes in other positions. It’ll be Sancho we sign and It’s crazy how a year later he’s the cheaper of the two but that’s football for you. I feel like Grealish would improve us a lot more than he will city if he goes there, just a hunch, I think he’ll eventually get swallowed up the squad after a bright start and he should be playing almost every game wherever he goes. I still think Sancho is the safer bet with his best years ahead and CL football under his belt. I also thought for a young guy he handled last summer very professionally. Both will probably be sold this summer but there can be only one!
How exactly? Because we are not paying the 90m during a pandemic season ?
Bit rich coming from a fan of the club who does this always with smaller clubs.
Yeah can only recall a second half cameo against Palace this season and before that it was on loan at Notts County back in 2013, certain that is the exact reason why Utd are favouring Jadon over him but maybe I am completely wrong
Because we wasted last summer trying to get him and managed to add no starters to the squad.
Probably the difference to being a but closer to city and maybe winning a trophy.
Be embarrassing to do that again.
Club keeps saying it's trying to compete. If that's the case it needs to be a million times better in the market.
Nothing embarrassing. you don't pay 120m for a player during a pandemic season. I'm so
glad, that fans aren't running the transfers at United.
Can you not read the post? It's not embarrassing to not get him at that price. That's fine.
It's embarrassing to waste your entire window on him and not go and improve other positions etc if you want to wait a year to get him.
So it would be embarrassing if we repeated that.
We failed to have a good contingency plan.
Last year clearly our plan was to spend most of the budget on Sancho. We tried all summer and failed.
The funds or some of them should have been shifted to another position. Maybe DM or CB. Both of which we need this summer.
So now we still need a CB CDM and RW. To not sort any of those needed starting positions was poor as it has left us with too much to do this summer.

I read the post very clearly and I will be clear one more time . The original context was about us fecking up on Sancho transfer again. This has nothing to do with any other signings. I will repeat- we didn't feck up on Sancho last year. We won't be fecking up on Sancho this year as well. That's my response to the Bayern fan.
Other signings, positions has nothing to do with what I explained. We may be incompetent but whatever we did last year was the right move. The original post from the Bayern fan is a WUM.
This could be another long summer regarding Sancho 
small chances he's coming until after Euros that start in 6 days and then nothing can be solved until England get out of the competition and realistically they should get at least to the round of 16.
I was optimistic last summer that he'd come, it seems likely to happen now again but won't get my hopes up, it's been exhausting year or two of Sancho rumours.
Edit: only just saw RkkMan's post. Hopefully news are true. 90M euros is okay price imo.

Chooo choo the Sancho train is speeding up. It's simply a matter of time. When not if. Dealio to be done.
90m euros?
£77m?
Get it done.
£77m?
Get it done.
Finally some movement. I got a semi and it feels good.
Fair but I don't think you can look at signings in a vacuum. I'd be very concerned if we chase Sancho all summer again and missed out.
The fact City Chelsea and Liverpool added players to their starting 11 last summer and we didn't was not a good look.
We will need to make up for that this summer for sure.
Not really different to the official talks we had before.
The price is lower but the question remains is will Joel release the funds?
When you think what we spent on Lukaku, 90 million Euros for Sancho is a bargain.
I’d really rather we didn’t negotiate and got this done today rather than next week, even if it costs us £10m more
Something that feels different to last year is we have heard a lot less from Watzke & Zorc on this, suggests to me they aren't as confident that he is going to stay this time around but maybe I am reading it totally wrong
Exactly. We got to remember this is guy is 21.
Rated ahead of Foden when they where both at City.
Maybe that doesn't translate to the men's game but right now Sancho is only behind Halaand and Mbappe in the the young players bracket.
Having himself and Greenwood would be very promising.
