We could get 100+ TFM's for the price of Renato Sanches.
Seriously, what has he done to you?
Can we thread ban this clown?The same old excuses here, what a surprise. He lost a ball in the 70 minute and he was running back like a buffalo. And he was pressing high around the minute 80, so "tired" my ass. He's just mediocre as he's always been, nothing new today.
He did nothing and his few moments were awful. He ruined two clear counter-attacks after poor touches, and he provoked two against his team again, like every week. One of them doing a silly roulette who nearly provoked a goal while they fight for the league. He's responsible of 90 % of the counter-attacks against his team this season, but he's 18 so it doesn't count.
If it happens next season while he's playing for us and we lose some games, we can talk with the FA, arguing that he's just 18 and he was tired when he lost some key balls. But we played better and we want the points or repeating the match at least.
You can make all the excuses you want, but this transfer is capricious and unnecessary. The wrong player, the wrong moment and the wrong numbers. Everything is absurd around this move, and it's all Mendes and commissions flying everywhere, let's be clear and stop the excuses now.
We'll pay 60-80 M € for the first signing of the summer, and then we'll try to sign proven players after this and everybody will demand similar fees or even higher, so it will be very difficult to improve all our weak points. Because if we pay this for someone who can't control a ball and doesn't know to play football, how much will it cost a proven midfielder or forward which is more expensive? 250?
Our club is being robbed by agents and poorly managed by clueless amateurs. Next season we're going to have our most expensive squad in history while we play the Europa League, and the same ignorants will be here applauding blindly every decision because "they know exactly what they do". If that's the case they must be Liverpool fans.
I think you should take your campaign to Carrington. We are not the ones trying to sign him, the club is. Since you can do the job a lot better than they can.The same old excuses here, what a surprise. He lost a ball in the 70 minute and he was running back like a buffalo.

Calm down a bit. I felt the same when we were going after Zaha and Fellaini but this is excessive.The same old excuses here, what a surprise.

The man is allowed his opinion. Until and if we sign him, everyone is entitled to their opinion. His passion in words is more than some players have with their feet.Can we thread ban this clown?
Only watched game compilations so I'm not an expert on the lad, but I thought it's been acknowledged that he's had a down turn in form lately that's coincided with how the whole team has been playing? The scouts have watched him all season.The same old excuses here, what a surprise. He lost a ball in the 70 minute and he was running back like a buffalo.

No, we can agree a buyout clause of £200mil for McNair, that doesn't mean if someone pays £100mil for him that they got a bargain. I'm not saying the lad won't come good but nothing hes shown tells me he should be in the same price range as Martial. His passing is so wild and his touch can be awful at times, charging around the pitch at 100mph doesn't make him a good player.Only watched game compilations so I'm not an expert on the lad, but I thought it's been acknowledged that he's had a down turn in form lately that's coincided with how the whole team has been playing? The scouts have watched him all season.
Also, as to your comments on precedent as to price, isn't his buy out clause €80m? So if we get him for €40 + €20 wouldn't the other perspective be that we just got a player for half his buy out clause up front and another quarter on bonuses? Wouldn't that be a positive for future negotiations?
We wont take spending £40m+ a player lightly. If we do decided to do this deal I have much more faith in our scouts than you.The same old excuses here, what a surprise.

Not that i don't agree with you but the same could have been said about Martial as well. Mendes will not force us to sign him ffs.The same old excuses here, what a surprise.

Why then do you think his coach and other pundits seem to think highly of him? They go as far as saying he has been the key player to their season. Remember we were meant to have been in for him since Dec/January.The same old excuses here, what a surprise. He lost a ball in the 70 minute and he was running back like a buffalo.

I will take those comments lightly. Wayne Rooney's and Fellaini's coaches and pundits think highly of them too. Earlier today, his manager was reported to say he is ready for a move after 6 months. That doesn't sound like they think they have got the "biggest talent" in the world.Why then do you think his coach and other pundits seem to think highly of him? They go as far as saying he has been the key player to their season. Remember we were meant to have been in for him since Dec/January.
That would be ridiculous! People just want to see more from a player being heralded as the best young CM in the world when compared to other CMs in the same age group. I've seen more in Alli and even TFM to say that Sanches has potential but he is not justifying the hype.People expecting a complete player at 18. He's a kid! But just imagine what he could be in a few years time. We have the money to take that risk.
The team was flat tonight maybe due to fatigue but his first touch and passes in many instances under no pressure was kind of disappointing. Not unusual for a young player but not one that is supposed to be really good. I highly rate him on the physical front but nowhere technically.The whole Benfica team were unimpressive and it was a poor, disjointed game. Fourth victory in a row by one goal, they are limping to the title.
Was he a 60 million euro player? more like 6.Why worry about that? Clearly the men in charge would have a good control of our finances. It isn't like they would only check on Sep 1 regarding our financial position.
He was a good midfielder before his derailment. It's not as if he was shit from day 1.
Your initial post wasWas he a 60 million euro player? more like 6.
I think Sanches is very likely to be a lot better, but if the rumoured fees are true he needs to be like Martial and thats entirely different
My point was that Anderson wasn't successful because he was unfit. Not because he wasn't talented and couldn't deal with the pace of the league or whatever. And he defended decently too.The main thing is he's physical, got good power and speed. But Anderson had these things too.
No, he really didntYour initial post was

Actually he did. Considering he was converted as a striker from Porto to a midfielder to us, he was very good at harrying people. He just couldn't do it for more than 30-45 mins.No, he really didnt
Yes he really did.... Anderson was an highly talented player than didn't have the right mentality to succeed here, but it's revisionism at its finest to say he didn't have to tools to make it here. When he first arrived though he was quite impressive showing good pace, strength sbd ability on the ball, like I said he failed due to his lack of hard work.No, he really didnt

Indeed. As far as 18 year olds go, he was one you'd put in the "dead cert" category. It's hard to judge what application and injury record the player will show over the course of his career but Anderson's raw skillset was fantastic. Barring shooting, he had everything.Yes he really did....

Cleverly was defending better in their partnership, and thats not saying much. Both of them left us exposed with the likes of Fellaini having a field dayActually he did. Considering he was converted as a striker from Porto to a midfielder to us, he was very good at harrying people. He just couldn't do it for more than 30-45 mins.
It's funny how hindsight works. When Anderson and Jones first arrived, both of them looked like bonafide superstars and the majority agreed with it. Injuries and their attitude stopped them from achieving it.Indeed. As far as 18 year olds go, he was one you'd put in the "dead cert" category.

This was your comment:Wheres the part where you disagree that he defended decently?
Anderson had much more than just these things which is why he was considered a top talent. If rate Sanches as highly as we do, having scouted him as much as we have, we obviously see more in him than just strong and quick lad.The main thing is he's physical, good power and speed. But Anderson had these things too.
Yup. Jones, I'm not sure I rated as highly as I did Ando. He was definitely very talented and I still remember loving his driving runs forward which would take out 3-4 opposition players in a couple of seconds. But Ando had people wetting themselves on the caf given how good he looked at 18. Still remember people saying we didn't seem to be missing Paul Scholes because of his 18 year old kid who seemed fazed by nothing.It's funny how hindsight works. When Anderson and Jones first arrived, both of them looked like bonafide superstars and the majority agreed with it. Injuries and their attitude stopped them from achieving it.
Very true. He was an amazing talent but didn't have the mental strength and work ethic. He also had his fair share of injuries.Anderson was awesome at Porto. Anderson did not lack talent, he failed because he wasn't hungry enough and was aalways injured.
I disagree. He had a lot of hungerAnderson was awesome at Porto. Anderson did not lack talent, he failed because he wasn't hungry enough and was aalways injured.
