He is not on Rooney's level mate sorry. If Rooney did not get injured in 2004, England would have won the Euros. He was too effective and mature for his age. He was a freak of a footballer who was revered not just in Europe but the world. He was the white Pele for a reason although I think that was way over the top but it shows you how Rooney impressed football fans.
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

Set the alarm clocks nice and early muppets
Just as good as “here we go”
It's not hard to photoshop his face into someone else's body...
Almost unzipping time fellow muppets
Can’t believe people still fall for fake versions of chaps. It takes seconds to notice it’s a phony.
I think you don't seem to understand what I was saying. I'm gonna give it a shot one more time. This transfer window is extremely crucial to close the gap with City & Liverpool if we are to pose any title challenge for the upcoming season. We need to buy about 3 players to give us a good chance. We do not have an infinite budget. If we spend 90 odd million on Sancho, can we buy 2 more players? Bruno and Pogba's form tapered towards the end of restart. Do we have sufficient quality in depth? Sancho is a great option no doubt but his strength lies in his chance creation rather than scoring goals. 20 goals in Bundesliga is a little misleading because I don't see him scoring that many in the PL. Our back 4 is not the best in the league. The reason why Liverpool have done so well is that their fullbacks had 23 assists in the league alone. When you talk about attack, please understand, that it's not just about the front 3.
Sancho can reach his level.
But our strikers scores a lot more than Firminho and out midfield outstrips Liverpools which makes up for the fullbacks.
Liverpools attack did not win them the league imo
I don't know why but I don't have a great feeling about this
That was my point.Mh, i think the difference between the top 4 leagues is negligible in terms of quality but can be significant in terms of playing style. The bundesliga is a league of transitions, while PL is much more chaotic but also not as open
Weeeeelllll
Aside from the obvious Mbappé?(who's been even better and translated his league performances to CL/International football immediately)
Ousmane Dembele
Now go back even further. When was the last time? It doesn't happen often. Most of the hyped up youngsters going back a decade didn't do what he did. The ones that did like Dembele were sold for big money. The point is to say that even when you cast a wide net of players, the list is very small for any teenager to do what he did.

Why do we have to mount a title challenge next season? Surely it’s about improving the team with the correct players and if we have to wait to sign the next one then so be it, that’s exactly what Klopp did.
Also,your point about Liverpool’s fullbacks assisting 23 goals is irrelevant, it’s all about style of play, after all City won the league in 18/19 with Kyle Walker providing 1 assist.
Why has he not played that much 90 minute games? Either subbed off or started on the bench of late.
Exactly. It's a false choice to only look at which team will be better for next season. Sancho gives us the best chance to win titles, because when you eventually complete the side, the side will have more quality from the fact that it has him in there.
Came into the restart of games with a calf injury.
Would be sweet
Yep no way is Sancho wearing vans
Dortmund knew he wanted to leave so left him on the bench a few times to play their younger players once the title had gone.
Would be sweet
Yes please.
Sancho wears Vans all time, that's his barbers lad. 'Smokey Barbers"
Probably an old photo like.
The rival fan tears would be delicious
With the way they've turned Bruno into public enemy no.1 already for the impact he's had, Sancho earning penalties too would do their heads in completely
I want him to come, but I think he will flop here.
I agree, not sure Toronto is really where he needs to be at this stage of his career.
How many imaginary millions will you bet if I say the Sancho deal to United will fall through?
In reality, we’re looking at a max of 3. If we’re lucky.
500 billion!
Fair play he can. If you say so Sir. Fair comment.
I'm surprised how underrated Sancho is on here oddly enough. Is it just because people haven't seen that much of him or they think everyone bought from Dortmund is an automatic flop?
I will admit I have rarely seen him play. Think it was a game or two against Bayern, and he like the rest of the Dortmund team did nothing. But before the emergence of Greenwood I would have told you anyone that plays the RW position needs to be brought in as it would be an upgrade.
Probably a bit of both! Even I’ve probably not seen more than about 10/15 games of his.
At least you're honest! I think those downplaying him have just seen the odd CL game or his appearances for England.
yeah I'm surprised too. Seen a lot of Dortmund and he was easily the league MVP this past season IMO. Can't really think of an attacking player I've wanted us to sign more. He's a game changer.
I can see a penalty won by Sancho against City, then scored by Bruno. Unzipping
Simeone was desperate to keep Griezmann, and Dortmund are desperate to cash in on Sancho. They're entirely different situations. And Morata... didn't we drop him as soon as Lukaku became available?
