We are apparently confident but I wouldn't trust our club with anything these days
Vapid response from Romano

I'm talking about talent, not stats. It's subjective yes but Foden is technically better than both of those. Sancho's stats I'm always hesitant on because I've seen the calibre of his goals in the Bundesliga, it's not very high.
The benefit is that we can instead buy two £50m players to better our squad instead of one 90m player and probably only one other. I doubt Sancho alone will make us challenge for anything anyway, he's not that great against low block teams which we struggle against.
The £100m is mostly for what clubs would actually pay - City are said to be in for Kane or Grealish and both would go for £100m+. In terms of talent that they've shown in the PL, it's not hard to argue against their value.
Foden I put mostly based on his technical level - it's very high. No one's actually going to pay £100m for him though. Mount, Rashford, Greenwood are all similar - good players but no one's going to be putting in £100m bids for them. The only players that would go for that figure and have interest are Halaand and Mbappe.
Fyi - I think values from the group you mentioned are still a little overpriced and haven't taken into account covid and reduced TV contracts yet. The days of paying £80m for the likes of Maguire, Pogba etc are gone. That calibre of player would go for £60m at max now. There just aren't many clubs outside the oil ones and United that can afford to pay £80m on a player now.

This reporter is supposed to be fairly close to Ole, right?
Yes he apparently is but I doubt Ole will tell him any transfer news. He’s just guessing and asking for clicks is my thought

i used to think romano was super reliable, but im starting to see why people call him a tap in merchant. He very rarely seems to put his neck on the line and jumps on stuff once its reported elsewhereWh
Why? Romano just jumps on any sort of news now while adding nothing new so he can get his clicks.
Told us it was all Utd unti the window neared, then told us Liverpool and Chelsea were in to get 3 fanbases on board, then told us Chelsea and Liverpool werent involved when it was obvious Utd had it in their pocket.
He will be bitterly disappointed this is going to be wrapped up so eaely.
Means Ruben Neves is better than Kante because he scores worldiesWhat does this even mean? He's not scoring enough worldies for you? Such a bizzare comment.
Sports reporter in doing his job shockerFraudbrizio just getting his daily clicks to bump up the bank balance.
or he’s just not as good as the other attacking players
Okay....
Hasn't worked out for him. Grealish would get way more involved than Foden has been tbh.
Saka selected on the bench over Sancho is what makes zero sense.
The more important Q is, do you really support Enyimba FC?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 i read somewhere that some rule States that you have to have 3 goalies in the match squad.does it also mean that Sancho is not as good as the 3rd choice GK (who was on the bench) or maybe there is another valid reason or Southgate is just crazy.
Not as crazy as having 3rd choice GK ahead of Sancho, unless of course Sancho is injured

its a pretty silly argument you have here.
england had Rashford, Sako, Grealish, DCL all on the bench to provide options up front.
when you have 12 subs - it’s not a ridiculous idea to have 2 keepers as an insurance policy against an exceptional turn of events where two keepers get injured. That’s more sensible than having your 5th choice attaching sub available.
All teams have had two goalkeepers on the bench so far, maybe it’s a rule that they have to? I don’t know.I mean that's a pretty good defensive job of having two keepers on the bench. Seriously when have two goalkeepers ever been needed? The odds have to be tiny. Much more reasonable to have another outfield option.

Nope, got that far and couldn't stop laughing.I personally stopped reading here, did anyone manage to read the whole post?

Few other teams have the quality of Englands squad though.I imagine other countries do it?
if Sancho is considered to be behind Rashford, Grealish, DCL and Sako (which today he was) then he’s not needed.
of course the odds of needing two keepers is tiny, but the impact if you needed him is massive. Simple risk management. Risk = probability x impact.
but you don’t need another outfield option when you have 10 on the bench.
Hate to burst your bubble and all but Buendia literally just went for 40 million from the championship

2 keepers is overkill. If it were that important we would see it every week in club football
Look at the Germany thread... many of them wanting a kimmich and goretzka midfield.
It’s a rule set by UEFA:Few other teams have the quality of Englands squad though.

Both goalkeepers, Dean Henderson and Sam Johnstone, were on the bench. This is not a tactical choice instead one set in place by UEFA who require teams to have two natural back-up keeper options available.
Ah fair enoughIt’s a rule set by UEFA:

It means, go watch his Bundesliga goals for 20/21. Around 50% of them were scored in absolute acres of space, with not a man near him. The kind of defending he wouldn't face against the worst team in the PL.

Then why isnt everybody doing it? I was watching a Sancho vid from a few pages back and it said hes the only player to get 15 goals and 15 assists in 1 season since records began.It was £33m. And I actually wanted United to sign him for that, I think he can push into that £50m bracket. He's super talented.

Does he really need to repeat the same thing 3 times every day?Sports reporter in doing his job shocker

I hear what your saying but it is his job, and if it’s working for him then good for him.Does he really need to repeat the same thing 3 times every day?
He's said literally nothing new and rarely ever does, it's the same repeated reshashed BS over and over.
It literally means nothing for Sancho. Stop trying to put relevance into international fixtures for a players quality. It's a different world and the managers are 90% of the time mediocre managers who failed at club level so took international football who do team spirit and nothing else.They’re not in charge of the team. I’m sure there’s many on here who want Sancho to start for England but the fact is that Southgate at present deems him surplus to requirements. Maybe that says more about Southgate but it’s not a good sign as far as Sancho is concerned.
He's not retired.Let's get Laurent Robert out of retirement
Maybe you should look at highlights from City games or our goals this season!It was £33m. And I actually wanted United to sign him for that, I think he can push into that £50m bracket. He's super talented.

Confused as to who you are talking about for either player!You're just jealous that our Ballon D'Or winner is a fluid and precise commentator while yours is a rambling, unintelligible fool
That's the 95m € question, isn't itThen why isnt everybody doing it? I was watching a Sancho vid from a few pages back and it said hes the only player to get 15 goals and 15 assists in 1 season since records began.
There has been some serious talent in Germany over the years and yet Jadon stands alone
sorry, wrong thread!!!Confused as to who you are talking about for either player!
