Yeah, fair points. Just saying that being selected or not (for one game or another) by Southgate doesn’t mean they aren’t both excellent and worth a pretty penny to any team who lacks players of their quality in their positions

Don’t disagree with anything you’ve said

:eek: you should spoiler this. I've just had a terrible fright opening the thread and seeing this ghoulish apparition.

Most unfair. Mods @Pexbo

Sancho would walk into our side on the right wing. Greenwood is good but he isn't a top player yet. Sancho has been as good as any winger over the past 2-3 seasons in the world. Creativity stats on par with Messi in some cases.

People here are fecking insane. All of a sudden doing incredible things in the Bundesliga means nothing. fecking hell. Can't wait til we sign him and he shuts everyone up in here at just how good he actually is. Absolutely wild seeing some of this shit here. It's not even like he's just some nice player to watch who doesn't get end product. He's as productive as anyone, he's a brilliant dribbler, he's a creative passer and a very intelligent player who knows how to score too.

We don't know how well Rashford or Greenwood, even Martial would do in the Bundesliga. Sancho didn't even make the bench for England today.

Good signing but let's not act like it's Messi.

Just out of interest Sancho has been better statistically in the Bundesliga than KDB was.

That's insane

There's a good chance Toni Kroos doesn't start for Germany this summer and that it'd be the right call. Is he not world class?

Are you seriously comparing a guy over 30 with 100 caps and a World Cup winners medal with a 21 year old who can’t even make the bench against Croatia? And who said Kroos won’t start? He’s going to start. Not sure what you’re talking about here.

I think all those three would do incredibly well. Especially the first two.

Agreed. I'm all for signing him but I don't think he takes our first XI up a level like a better CM and CB would.
 
According to CIES all of Kane, Rashford, Sterling, Sancho, Greenwood, Foden and maybe Mount(?) are £100m+ players. Three of those were either on the bench, not in the matchday squad or, as with Greenwood, touch and go if he was gonna be included in the tournament squad at all. Then you add another bench player in Grealish who you could argue is up there with the rest of them in terms of talent and value. Instead of saying stupid stuff like "you can't be a £100m player if you're not playing for your NT", maybe the focus should be on England having abundance of riches when it comes to highly talented attacking talent in the perfect age value-wise.
 
Steven Howsen on Stretford Paddock saying AS are reporting United have accepted Dortmund's terms and a deal will be announced within a number of hours.

Well, he's a pretty good player.

Not sure how exactly that comparison works, seeing that De Bryune's time in Bundesliga was in two different spells for two very different teams. De Bruyne's full season at Wolfburg was something else in terms of how impressive and influential he was, (well, you know how De Bruyne is at his best, and he was also older than Sancho is), and apart from @Zehner few people would see Sancho's contributions so far quite as high.
But yeah, Sancho has delivered astonishingly and there's surely more to come.

I just did it on minutes per goal/assist mate. Sancho has two seasons at 82 minutes per goal and assist

In KDBs insnae season where he got like 44 G+A it was in much more minutes so still only worked out at 103 minutes per goal.
