It's not that great a deal. If he was earning £30k a week as a young rotational option with potential to improve, then you could see the value in taking a punt. However, I imagine that Sancho is earning significantly more than that and I don't anticipate that he will improve on his current level.

We will see. I didn’t want him at Chelsea before we got him and I don’t think he’s done enough for me to be considered the long term answer. You might be right about his quality, I won’t shy away from coming back here to tell you you were right at later date, if I feel that way, but what I’ll always push back on is when I see how his decent games be described as shit and invisible. That’s where I’m coming from in this.
Guess we see things through a different lens. I've seen a-lot of giddy Chelsea hype online about him, which doesn't remotely correlate to his performances. For what it's worth, there was the same OTT narrative being pushed during his Dortmund loan spell.
It wasn't even his Dortmund spell, it was that game against PSG where he was admittedly outstandingGuess we see things through a different lens.

I’ve seen some of that hype on social media, and you’re right a lot of that is to get a reaction out of United fans. That doesn’t mean we have to go to the other end of extreme in response though, which is what I feel like is happening in here sometimes.

Yes, one game. But then the revisionism started and apparently he was actually quite good for Dortmund. Which directly contradicted the criticism aimed at him pre the PSG game when he single handedly won Dortmund the quadruple.

Fair enough. I guess there's also a strong dislike for him on here, which again, is fair enough.

"Thankyou Chelsea" trends on that platform everytime Havertz or Sterling kick a ball in a straight line and no doubt will the minute Mount has a good game/big moment for you guys aswell.

That's surprising, as I honestly thought it was more a thing that seemed to happen when we sell players. Thing is, you guys have sold some gems that ended up as amazing PL players. We've generally sold players like Welbeck and Sancho and its been made out that we sold worldies.
The Mount one is interesting. The vast majority of United fans didn't want him, despite the fact that he done far more for your lot, than Sancho did for us. Yet, the impression I got is that Chelsea fans seemed fairly ok with the Sancho signing. Just an odd one. I guess we look in different places and see different things, which is fair enough.

Understandable too. It’s why I mostly stayed out of this thread earlier this season. There’s a history there that has nothing to do with Chelsea. But, glad we found common ground.
Has he performed more than the £25m obligation? Shows it in periods but also invisible for stretches
There's not a 25 mil obligation.
It's 20 if Chelsea finish 14th and up to 25 depending on how high we finish in the league.
Sadly we ain't winning the league.
You say that as if it's not mostly from you!Fair enough. I guess there's also a strong dislike for him on here, which again, is fair enough.

I mean, he's a massive prick. But I can look past that. What I can't find peace with is people looking at mediocre performance and trying to find something that isn't there. No siree, that's a bridge too far.

Being invisible is less him and more the team collectively losing their cool in games. But yes I’d say he’s outperformed that price tag. I don’t think he’s the answer long term answer though.
Even still at his wages for a fee between £20-25m it doesn't feel as much as a steal despite his upturn in form.There's not a 25 mil obligation.

From a United perspective we have Amad who is a similar operator and the side would probably be a bit unbalanced if they both played in the same XI.

unfortunately chelsea fans looks for racists who’d sell tickets to see their own grandmother for a fiver to idolise.That's surprising, as I honestly thought it was more a thing that seemed to happen when we sell players.

Yeah I remember the welbeck revisionism, average for us, average for them but because he scored that one goal against us in the fa cup and media was like you let go a diamond.
To be fair, it's not just the media but a section of our fans too that does this.

He’s actually worth his price tag. Talented player who averages 6/10 for a season.
Most overrated English player I’ve ever seen based on Output vs talent.

Was better than Madueke, Felix and Neto. 2 key passes, 4 dribbles, 2 shots but neither hit the target
Jackson and Palmer were better. Semenyo on the other side was also better and took his goal really well
