Oh yes amazing. Crying myself to sleep that Utd didn't sign him after seeing that.
Initial payout for Sanches was €35M so I do think we would have gone for both.
Thats the price quoted to Bayern though.
Don't think so. Media just sensationalise fee. Bayern paid 35 Million and 45 Million in add ons (not that they will ever pay them going by his performance). Had we signed him, press would have said Sanches was signed for 80 Million as they love big fee.
See the hypocrisy is crazy in here. A poster above said 'people who rate him weren't watching the games' during the Euros when he clearly never watched him prior to that tournament either. But hey if it fits the agenda.
I think hypocrisy is definitely the wrong word here. Fact is, far more informed posters than ourselves didn't rate him too highly early in his career and felt the hype was all too much. When I watched him at the Euro's, I genuinely couldn't believe this was the player that some were ranting and raving about. A video of him dispossessing Hulk is hardly solid evidence that the hype was justified.
I think the video of him dispossessing Hulk was just a small sample size video, not complete evidence if that makes sense.
Come on, if it was an easy mistake we'd see more people do it.
Absolutely. It looks like he had an absolute mare last night. I can't see it getting any better for him, though as Swansea look a-bit of a mess and will likely have a managerial change at some point over the coming months.
Funny thing was, I watched him have that nightmare last night and immediately thought 'i'm going to look like an idiot defending him with you now'
Haha, when I saw this thread bumped last night, I actually thought he was having a good game or after getting a goal. I was too busy laughing watching Rooney destroy MoyesFunny thing was, I watched him have that nightmare last night and immediately thought 'i'm going to look like an idiot defending him with you now'
Benfica is one of those talent producing clubs, aren't they? Surely they have a younger, much cheaper talent that's almost as good as Sanchez. Why take him back? Obviously that lad has got some ego issues.
That was a great no-look pass, though, wasn't it?That is why I love this great player: underrated but in reality ahead of his time
The tackling technique is he does it twice. And it's just an exemple, the videos run much longer. He was for a long time the great hope of Benfica's formation, even ahead of the likes of Bernardo Silva. There's absolutely no doubt he has talent, like no one here would now say that Ravel Morrison never had it, but he got lost in the process due to lack of language, culture, maturity, money and working context, and it needs to be back on track.
There is a difference between hope and reality. Guedes never had the same buzz as Renato and developed much better than him.
I’d say the more noise the better, as far as Benfica are concerned. They’ve made out like bandits here.
When you are more worried with developing to sell like if you are in a factory and being associated with super agents, at least you should worry if you are teaching well the basic fundamentals a good midfielder needs.
He needs to get out of the spotlight, and quickly. Everyone, Bayern, Benfica, and he himself, did him a disservice with the transfer. He wasn't ready (and in hindsight you Portuguese league following guys look more right about it than our scouts lol). He obviously can't cope mentally with the expectations, because obviously he is not THAT bad.
I tried to stay away from the subject, in Portugal was a bit toxic to say that to Benfica fans, always the nonsense with haters and racism and all that, but basically was surprised Bayern or United were interested in him, he probably could have developed better at Benfica for more 2 years in his own environment.
