He's not rapid, but he's not a slug.
Yeah seems quicker over the initial 5-10 yards, which is what he needs for his skill set mainly.

He’s definitely not slow, just not James / Rashford level quick. More than makes up for it with his linkup etc.

Yep - link up play is far more important IMO.

No point having the speed of James / Rashford when both struggled with low blocks.
 
We are actually getting signings sorted early in the window, allowing us time to get other targets in and not panic towards the end of the window? Fecking scenes bruv. Times are'a changing innit.

I'd agree with that, he has a good burst of pace. One thing I like about his game is how he releases the ball and quickly darts into another position looking for the ball back to him.
 
I’m a huge England fan, but if that is true then what the hell were United thinking?

If he needs an operation then it should have been done the day after the EL final so that he had the next 2.5 months of the off season to recover.
I agree totally, but apparently, according to some on here, he's perfectly right to put England before us, the team that pays his wages.
 
United still dicking around in year 2 of talks to finalize Sancho whereas City look well prepared to spend £200m to bring in both Kane+Grealish :boring: :wenger: :(

& then we act shocked as to why we’re so much further behind of them. Well duhhh, we work twice as slow as they do! AKA take twice as long as to catch up to them. Rinse and repeat - always behind the 8ball ! :mad:
Have I missed any formal bids? Surely it's just press speculation at the moment. No need to get your knickers in a twist.
 
We will have some strength in depth in attack, for a start Ahmad deserves to be given a a go ahead of James and we can't have the guy playing in the reserves, he is too much of a talent for that and has shown what he can do with his recent international starts.

If anything james will be the back up left winger behind rashford and Greenwood will have to rotational striker with cavani.
 
It’s a shame we don’t have the Dortmund wum fans hanging around any more or @Zehner and his German defence league to offer them some fries with their salt…

India getting even more populated what with first Glaston and now all the other runaways
 
It got us Diallo. Apparently he was the first choice replacement wanted by Dortmund if Sancho moved last summer.

Can I ask where you saw that link? I thought Parma wanted him on loan and there were rumours Juve were lurking but I didn’t hear about Dortmund. Ourself and Dortmund are obviously scouting the exact same profile. The race for talent and scouting/analytics is really interesting to me. I wish there was more info on it available.

On here. Obviously the deadline passed and Dortmund didnt follow through pretty early on. Ill find a link and edit it here
 
Sancho can play across the front lines and float around. He's not the fast footed player, but the vision, weight of pass, and timing/release of pass is key. It has been very impressive.

He has better technical ability than Rashford, maybe not shooting from distance, but that technical ability and top decision making and passing ability allows him to play across a front line with space or without space.
