He’s in for a rude awakening when he gets back to Carrington and realises they don’t do those free little lunchboxes anymore.
Jadon Sancho - Chelsea (loan) watch

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
Horrible news if true, but probably more realistic than Chelsea committing themselves at such an easy to reach target, even allowing for the relative low transfer fee commitment.
little flavour of some of the early days carnage when he arsed an assist or two. Not sure this forum will ever learn, but hes now nearly 30 games in and is absolutely awful and rumours are beginning that chelsea are prepared to pay to not take him. It was bad here, but even worse broadly online and in the media desperation to create a comeback narrative, the same as we see with rashford.
2 things can be true. ETH fecked up and Sancho is a little bitch
honestly im not getting into a back and forth at all on any notion that ten hag did anything but right be getting this slob out of the team and club. Maybe im close minded, but i have absolutely no interest in hearing another argument on it at this point (keeping in mind he was handled with soft gloves and compassionate leave in season 1.)
Its human nature to move goalposts and not admit being wrong. Anybody who thought letting him go was a mistake was wrong. Plain and simple.
Then why did you tag all of us if you have no interest in discussing
You're a funny oneThen why did you tag all of us if you have no interest in discussing
sharing a collection of posts isnt neccesarily an invitation to engage in one on ones with 15+ posters. who has that time? multiple posts shared together effectively illustrate the point im making about overreacting to his early form, as is happenign with rashford. I don't owe any further engagement and Im sorry if you need it
It kinda is, you can't tag someone and not expect some form of response by any of the 15 people you tagged. That's crazy
people can respond all they like. have at it, but theres no obligation to get in a back and forth on my part. the quotes illustrate the only point im making here. I also didnt 'tag' anyone, the quote function does that automatically.
Is it something they are seriously considering though? From what I gather he's not been a complete disaster so it would be a bit odd to pay to get themselves out of it.
I suspect it's just a story as a theoretical option rather something they are looking to do.
This is what is going to happen. He has been doing okay for Chelsea and will probably be able to offload him for a profit this season or the next. I really don't think there is anything to them not singing him at such a low fee.
You'd think so, otherwise the obligation is useless. Perhaps they prefer to write off the 25m if it means not committing to that fee plus his huge wage.
It's not, theoretically United could pocket £10m as a penalty from Chelsea and then sell him elsewhere for £25m and get more money out of the deal overall.
Of course the issue in reality is finding anybody who'll be willing to buy him.
The "get out" fee basically.becomes a loan fee if we don't want to pay the 20 million to keep.
No more #Freedom for Sancho
Please put the drink down, you've obviously had way too much.
Fair enough, makes sense. What a sad state of affairs for Sancho, who will he blame now?
So the whole culture reset is off then. Let's get Rashford back in and his mate Jesse while we're at it. Oh and Pogba isn't busy at the moment either. Sounds like a promising team that!
Why would he go to Saudi? He'd have to agree to go, they can't just sell him because they want to make a quick and easy profit. He's not a packet of crisps.
He's already shown he's willing to not play.
Dortmund, somewhere in Germany
You’d hope any cancellation fee would be 15-20m otherwise it’s not much of an obligation. Hopefully the deal still goes through but his wages are clearly going to be an issue.
He won’t play for us again I’ve no doubt, if Chelsea back out he’ll be out on loan or sold on the cheap.

Feck off Chelsea. You agreed on it. Take him and then sell him next summer somewhere if you want.
Dortmund had the chance and didn't take it in the summer. Everybody in Germany has seen during his Dortmund loan how bad he has become. Little hope for such a transfer now.
We can't catch a break when it comes to getting rid of overpaid wasters. No doubt Rashford will be back too
If this is true, I hope we did what Chelsea did with Lukaku in making him having agreed to lowering his contract before going out on loan. Therefore, even if he comes back, we'll have a loan fee but have a player on lower wages easier to ship out in the summer.
Maybe Dortmund can finally afford the fecker.

I always thought this was Chelsea basically flipping a rundown house. They are scammers and will undoubtedly be able to flip Sancho for a 5m or so profit
But I thought the problem was our toxic environment and not poor old Sancho’s work ethic. Hahaha.
It would make me sick seeing him back here.
We were getting £25 million , there’s no club going to pay that for him so we are down a lot of money if they do pay the penalty
Can't believe there are actually people here who would want him back. Mind boggling.
Oh great. So we're screwed, then. Awesome.
Tragic little situation for him really, and both clubs. All the shite, and Chelsea willing to pay to give him back. Sums up what a disappointment of a player he is.
Laurie did not mention or indicate anything about Chelsea's intentions - just the existence of the "break" clause.
However, as news is coming out about the break clause now, I do think there must be some discussion around its use. Either Chelsea want Sancho to accept a lower wage and he is being difficult or Chelsea are not convinced by him and want to send him back.
Not necessarily I mean if the penalty is 10million then we only need to sell him for 15 to get the same amount. I could honestly see some Italian team taking a chance at him for a loan plus obligated fee if that fee was around 15-20 million
Far from ideal, those 25 million + taking his wages off the books would be really nice business (and we all counted on it). I doubt penalty fee is more than 10-12 million, which would leave us to find someone who is willing to pay pretty much the same transfer fee or the worse case scenario send him on another loan with us paying some of his wages. Not ideal in any case and Sancho won't lower his wage demands that's for sure.
If this happens, we really need to find someone willing to pay 15 million transfer fee. If our financial situation isn't so fecked up this would be absolutely hilarious though.

Chelsea will have assumed he’d at least maintain a base level value that given his age would keep him attractive to clubs at Dortmunds tier. So that they could easily sell him on for a small profit.
A full season there and it’s obvious to all the only place he’ll be in 2026 is either stinking up Chelsea’s bench, in the MLS or Kleague like Lingard. He’s not getting any more interest from Europe for £25m, and I doubt even Saudi would bother with him.

If he comes back next season and we've won the Europa league, we'll then be in the champions league and I bet his contract has a wage increase in it for us having champions league football.
Sancho could become the first football player in the history to have one club pay another club to NOT buy him!
He’s less motivated than Rashford and we all know how that turned out.
