I don’t think anyone’s insinuating you can’t afford him but rather he’s unlikely to join Liverpool due to playing time, if he’s already a starter there’s no use going somewhere he’d be a rotation option, because let’s face it he won’t be displacing Mane or Salah.
He might start behind the other two but he will get plenty of gametime and if he shows he's good enough to start, he will. If he has the self-belief he can go to Anfield. If he doesn't he can take the easy option to Chelsea but there again he will have CHO, Pulisic and possibly Willian to contend with so. thinking about it like that the only member of the Big 6 he'd walk into as a starter is Arsenal
They afforded him plenty of space to run into. Take the space away from him and I don't believe he would be as effective.
Plenty of game time isn't quite the same as constant game time he's currently getting, what that essentially means is the opportunities he gets will most likely be in the League Cup/dead rubber CL games, coming for the last 20/30 minutes of games or filling in if one of your front three is injured, not quite as lucrative as some of his other options. He might back himself one day to get in ahead of Mane and Salah, but realistically that could take years due to the fact both players are currently in their prime, you say going to Chelsea is the easy option but it's the sensible one, as is joining any team where he's going to be a regular starter. He'd get into United's, Arsenal's, Chelsea's and Tottenham's starting 11s.
I thought it he was nailed on there because they looked nailed on for CL football, now all of a sudden we're within touching distance of it ourselves.
Top level players that we want (not mercenaries) don't have money as primary motivation anymore as most top clubs pay a lot.
Sancho is a English lad and Manchester United does still have a huge attraction for players born in the country. But otherwise I do agree with what you're saying about the foreign players like Dybala.
It's not about making it sound easy. But football at the top level requires you to perform in tight spaces and someone like Sancho is far superior to James in that regard due to being a much better technician.
Why shouldn't we expect the club to sign Sancho for £100m?
Is that player gonna be the longterm solution in that position over Sancho who is younger and performing at a higher level already?
Decent being the operative word, Sancho is different Class
I believe we should, I think Sancho will make the difference vs teams that don’t give us space where James has struggled like West Ham, Bournemouth and Newcastle
I would join United because they'd likely pay me the most. United would likely pay my agent the most and would likely pay my current club the most. And at 19 years old I'd be wearing the #7 on my back and would arrive at United with at least two other top players to add to our current squad which would give me alot of confidence for the season ahead.
Plenty of reasons to joint Manchester United.
I would for money, fame, first name on the team sheet and a possibility to move to a 'better' club for an improved salary if They stagnant, or still get an improved salary and more trophies if They keep improving. Safe choice for a youngster, to be able to move or commit.
Your United bias aside, you have to remember the facts:
), so BVB can lean back and wait until some offer fits their imagination. The background of all this is that Sancho feels great at Dortmund, knows what he has got there, and there is an (oraly) agreement which says we let you go if it make sense, but only if the offer fits our expectations.This summer is going to be very interesting.Your United bias aside, you have to remember the facts:
City have an option, Dortmund has to inform them about every offer and they have the right to increase that sum. This option alone will result in a bidding war (If i think about it it was very very clever from Zorc, in the negotiations with them to buy Sancho it sounds like its a pro-point for City, but it the end its also great for BVB).
Sancho is one of the best youth prospects out there, in a market which became crazy, and still got contract till 2022 (thanks Sancho for extending it last year
My bet is on 2 teams:
Liverpool
Real
In this sequence. With Liverpool are connections through Klopp, they play thrilling football and are the hottest thing in the PL, and could afford him. Real always want the shiny things, and we got Hakimi from them so there might be some negotiations, Watzke got a connection to Perez and negotiations were always fair.
