He is absolutely 100% guaranteed to score against United. You all know it

True, but with or without Sancho we need another attacking option
Can we not throw Mount in also?
If he looks a superstar at Chelsea I’ll be shocked, to me it’s the perfect deal for him to continue being a waste of space.
Knowing our luck. He will do well at Chelsea.
He will definitely score against us.

He will barely get a kick at Chelsea. He doesn't have the drive to work for a spot. So unless he hits the ground running it's a dud.
Agreed - but other than Sterling it's hard to see who is gettable at this point. Does Sterling just plug the Sancho shaped hole with something similar?
Personally, I'm happy to write off signing Chelsea players ever again at this point
He’ll play well for a bit, oppo fans will laugh at us, Dortmund will Tweet us, and then he’ll be shit and disappear for the remainder of his contract.
You love to see it
Going by his work ethic here, joining a team with so much competition seems like a recipe for disaster. He either wants to be guaranteed a starting spot, or he sulks.
On Fifa.
I think the more competition the better, from Sancho's pov.
I think he's more than happy to sit on his arse.
Yep, definitely this. They won't be able to keep proper tabs on him with 45 players around the gaff so he'll do whatever he wants and get away with it.

I thought they were in for Osimhen?
I think not selling a player due to fear of them doing well basically meant that players like Martial were at the club nearly a decade. Let Sancho be Chelsea’s problem. If they get a tune out of him, fair play to them but he’s been atrocious for us, both on and off the pitch and we need to move on and learn to prioritise character over reputation in future signings
Think at this point we just look happy to get his value off the books. Plus his wages can be used elsewhere.
Would be nice to go into the season not relying on Rashford, Antony, Amad and Garnacho, that just isn't a top 4 set of wide players and hugely dependent on Rashford refinding form.
Doubt we have time to address it now, but hopefully the rest of our signings this summer settle and we can focus on this area next summer.

After all the money we've spent on Chelski players (Mata, Matic Mount) it would be about time we had one go the other way. Make it happen Ineos.
What I don't get is why they definitely won't be playing Sterling, but they will be playing Sancho.
Surely those broke peasants will be in hiding now after not even buying him after all the hype they gave him.
It doesn't make much sense but perhaps stylistically Maresca prefers Sancho's profile to Sterling. They play the same positions but they are two very different types of winger.
Potentially using 3 #10s behind the ST with Palmer and Felix?
We'd be so luck! (actually, I like Mount - just been a shambolic transfer i.t.o. injuries and where our needs to strengthen actually were).
He needs better creative wingers in the "half spaces". Neto, Mudryk, Sterling are all similar in style, so I think Neto and Mudryk will be the direct wing options, then maybe Sancho offers them something a bit different. Only way I can reason it.
Oh right, Maresca prefers lazy gits with attitude?
I just don't think he's physically capable of being a success in the PL.
He's too slow, he's too weak and he's not fit enough.

Is this not the funniest thing you've ever read? Chelsea project? He can't wait to get changed behind the sheds on an 8 year contract.
25M pounds isn't great money really but given his huge wages it's understandable.
Ideally we sell Sancho today and get another attacker but that's unlikely. Our options on both wings aren't great, either not good enough (Antony and current Rashford) or still developing (Garnacho, Amad).
You just know that this time next summer it will be Sancho banished from their squad to train with the reserves while they try and force him out.
I heard on the Athletic that if we got £30m for him it would be considered profit on the books due to the amortisation on his fee, so this is mostly his break even fee + we lose his wages. Massive win for our PSR compliance.
It’s £40m+ including wages off the books.
My bad that was €84mil (£72mil).Sancho never cost 84 mill ffs
Can we change the title to Chelsea now?
They won't realise he didn't come to training with 45 players around the place. He'll get away with murder for months before they realise.
Source?
Source for what? His wages?
It was supposed to say 8 year contract on £250k a week.Chelsea project
