I’m laughing to myself just imagining how angry Zorc must be that Sancho hasn’t lit up the tournament and added 30m to his value. Imagine him sat there raging at Ed

English Players need to think twice about going to Dortmund. They’re a small team and it doesn’t help your international hopes
He would help but no individual player is making us win the league over City! We still have too many flaws in comparison to them.
De Bruyne maybe, mainly due to not being available for City any more
Maybe, but if City got Grealish it would give them a great chance of retaining the league.
So who is this bench warming no-mark that we are trying to sign for £80 million?
He would make us challenge at the very least. I've had this opinion for a while now.
Of course he would.
But that's a different story than signing for us.
If we made 1 signing only this summer it wouldn't matter if it was Messi, Grealish, Van Dijk or a 24 year old Paul Scholes.
We simply have too many flaws in our 11 and squad to compete with a team as well rounded as City's.
Maybe we should be spunking £80mil on grealish!
Graelish would put us within striking distance.
To buy his left leg?
Been saying it for ages. PL proven aswell.
'Agent Southgate'
If he signs he's gotta be on the left, even Southgate's worked out wingers have to be inverted these days
They really don't have to be. Sancho was fantastic on the right just like he was on the left. Leroy Sane had his best period in his career on the left for City. Fodens played often on the left this season, or right through the middle and has been pretty shit on the right. It's just about the role you ask them to play.
He can do both so that's fine.
From Southgate's view Saka has managed to impress each time he's played and today was a major part of the goal. Sancho hasn't been able to have an impact for some reason, maybe he's more a systems player and finds it difficult to create individually. To succeed at United or England he'll have to do that and I think he will. Also like the commentator said Saka has impressed in training.
Grealish I'm sure would cost £130m
Grealish I'm sure would cost £130m
Aston Villa want 100m
£80m won't get you Grealish. It'd take our entire transfer budget, which I'm not sure would rest well given we have so many issues in need of address.
Peps gonna Pep, it's clearly much better balanced to have the lefty on the right and vice versa
You'd get half a Grealish for that amount
All this Grealish/Sancho talk.. Sancho is 4 years younger
Today is nearly over but tomorrow will be a day.
Back to the Sancho saga, it could drag on for another four weeks! United reportedly £4m short of the valuation. As for Grealish going to City, we’ll they want Kane and that will cost them £150m and Guardiola has stated (so it must be true as he doesn’t lie) that they can’t afford to spend £100m on one player. Grealish is an £80m player all day long.
Can we get a quantifier on that day please
A day of yet to be decided (by you) size
Not systems - he's one of the best combination footballers on the planet, but that style is the antithesis of what Southgate wants in a (player) team. Put Sancho in any team who can give and go and move on or off the ball well and he's lethal. England can barely string 4 passes together and go hell for leather with the ball high and fast as soon as possible with very little movement from those not directly involved in the play (thus reducing options) so it really is a recipe for disaster for Sancho to have such a poor coach who hasn't the foggiest on how to use him correctly.
I’ll let you know tomorrow around 5am
tomorrow is a shorter day than today. Thursday even shorter. The signs aren’t good.
We’re here for a big day not a long day.
The shorter the day is, the shorter the chances of anything happening are.
there’s a reason more couples have their big day in June than in February.
England play such poor football. Cannot manage four progressive passes beyond the centre circle in a row. Doubt Sancho can do much in a team like this.
Meh I really don't think so. It just depends on tactics and what you want from them. Sancho isn't going to be a wide forward, he's a wide creator. As a wide creator, it doesn't really matter what side he's on.
On a side note, it’s really shitty management taking a 21 year old wonder kid to a competition like this and not giving him any minutes.
Heard he had disciplinary issues in U21 which might be a reason.
Then why the feck did they drag him along if they knew he was going to be overlooked? It’s cnutish management.
Been saying it for ages and nobody wanted to listen. Sancho is a decent player but you don't get the space in the PL that you get in the Bundesliga.
I think Saka, Rashford etc would destroy that league too if given a chance to at Dortmund.
Doesn't make Sancho a poor player by any means because he's not. I just don't think he's this amazing world class can't afford to miss out on him talent either.

That is the thing , people are cribbing about Sancho not getting a look in but fact is he has not impressed when Southgate has given him the chance in previous games , he has looked average enough. Other players have impressed , Southgate is going by what players have done on the pitch for England not by their reputation. That is the way it should be and that is why England are in a very strong position in this tournament.
It seems that way but maybe he's not seeing enough in training from him. Rashford has been dire for yonks and even he's getting minutes.
