He would and would also benefit from a more mobile striker than Ronaldo. However, it was stupid to overpay for a slow playmaking winger when we have Bruno. Who will do the running in this team of 10 players without pace?
He was anything but "mediocre" in the Bundesliga.
Count me out mate. I was shouting from the rooftop to never sign him. He has some qualities but never gonna be the solution for our wings. No physicality, no pace , no wickedness about him. We needed a rapid tricky winger with good decision making. Should have thrown that kind of money at someone like Coman, Raphinha who can take on their man.
You wanted him to sign for us badly. Full of praises. Honestly I think you are one of the most sensible posters here on the caf and a fellow countryman to boot. Really rate your opinions. Rarely ever disagree with them in general. How come you didn’t see that he lacks the explosivity, pace and physical attributes overall to succeed here ? Premier league doesn’t offer the spaces like in bundesliga. Not saying he is a bad player or anything like that. He is a good player but that’s it. He never takes on his man. Doesn’t commit himself. Doesn’t have the acceleration or the trickery to go past the defenders. I was so baffled when caf collectively declared him a generational talent that gonna rip up the pl defences. A player like Raphinha or Antony would be 10 times better for us to be honest. Sancho can be useful in a certain system where the team is not dependent on the wingers to be creative. He is always gonna be up and down due to his lack of certain qualities needed on the wings.
Please teach us great one.
So were Kagawa and Mkhi. I don't know why everyone is up in arms about his performances. Even at dortmund you could tell he wasn't the fastest and his close control wasn't world class by any means and he beats his men thanks to quick one to passes instead of beating them for skill or pace. I don't know what everyone was watching when they were crucifying the club for not paying the 120m Dortmund were demanding for him.
So he is yet another system player.
I wouldn't say they are mediocre but I would happily not sign English players going forwards. Unearth some African talent, south american or something. these dudes rinse our transfer kitty for minimal return
He did. This cannot be denied but whenever people in England saw him play he never passed his auditions
Sort of analysis you’d expect from someone’s dad at the pub. It’s got nothing to do with lifestyle or balls, he’s simply not that good.
When will he start his storming end to the season?
If I had a dollar for every time I have heard that argument. So what is stopping him from reproducing those numbers in the PL? He might be able to do it if we play 3 pacy players up front whom he can feed as well as more quality from our fullbacks. Players we don't have except for Rashford who is out of form. And where does that place Bruno?
Needs to be shipped out before it's too late. Cut your losses. Sell to Bundesliga where his reputation is still intact. Maybe Bayern can be duped into taking him off your hands. Never worth 70, 80 millions but you might be able to sell him to them for 40m, and then get a proper replacement like Antony for the money. Worth a try, anyway, but quickly.
When his team mates start supporting him. Tell me which player in world football is asked to take on two men minimum when receiving the ball and succeeds everytime? None. Yet that's what we ask over Sancho.
I can see you're fast approaching Mad Winger territory here. I should step away.
See, I've never bought into that. People used to say that about Pogba also.
When a player is in an environment that kicks the shit out of your confidence then everything is a lot harder than what it should be. I'd be willing to bet that in a proper system players like Sancho would shine. Much too soon to write him off.
