Not as good as Grealish, but we already have Greenwood starting. If we can get another player with quality on the right who can rotate with him, even if we use Grealish there sometimes, we would always have quality on that flank. What is clear as day as that Greenwood is going to become a star. Even if it means holding out for a year so that we can get Sancho, it would make sense. For me, at this present moment, even though I feel Greenwood does need a quality player to rotate with, I don't think our front 3 is our biggest concern anymore. Both Martial and Greenwood have improved immeasurably since the restart. A partner for Macguire and another defensive midfielder/central midfield that can deputise or take over from Matic/Pogba would be really useful. I would also love to have a versatile attacker that can play in the three attacking midfield positions. We haven't been able to rest Bruno since he came because we have nothing on the bench to replace him with.
My point is, aside from centre back, rather than just signing players who would be designated to one specific position, we can sign a few who are versatile enough and have the mental capacity to perform various roles in the team. If we can strike up a deal for Sancho at a reasonable price, then I would of course go for it without question. However I'm also skeptical of putting all our eggs in that basket in the way teams like Barcelona did for "surefire" signings like Dembele, Griezman or Couthinho. Or even Real Madrid for a proven quality star like Hazard, whilst still winning the league with him missing the majority of the season. The biggest case for this is Liverpool with Couthino. By selling a player that they deemed to be quality for 100m, they were able to sign both Salah and Van Dijk, who at the time, many viewed he was better than. 100m is a lot of money for a player, particularly during this period. Is it wise to spend all of that money on Sancho when players like Ziyech have gone for half the price.
