true I didn't see the whole england-Czech R game but he didn't do enough against a pretty ordinary side to be worth £100m!
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

Player shouldn't be rated on game by game basis.
Baffling that this still needs to be said really, isn't it? Crazy how knee-jerk everyone is.
Yeah, we have game by game analysis for players, half by half, min by min analysis for coaches. It's just crazy how imperfect players and coaches are.
If you aren't convinced your either blind or you never will be convinced.
We are quite clearly interested, whether we will buy and loan him back(like Chelsea did with Pulisic) or bring him in instantly, is the mystery. I reckon we’ll strike a deal with Dortmund regardless though.
A 19 year old player is getting double figures in goals and assists in a top 5 league and there are some not fancying him. They must have thought Neymar was too skinny or that Mbappe was just a pace merchant. Remember when we used to buy the best young talents for big fees. Ferdinand, Ronaldo and Rooney turned out alright didn't they?
I know what you’re saying but he’s not in that league of players just yet!
In the case of Rio he had several seasons at West Ham and Leeds learning the game before we moved for him and his first game for us was very underwhelming.
Sancho needs to be the player we need to take us forward or it’s a waste of the players talent and ambition
He absolutely is. Do you think these players turned world class over night? Ferdinand came at 24, which is young for a centre back. He also did not know what it meant to play for a massive club like us, but was told quickly by the likes of Keane. You just have to get these types of players, because the pay off is so massive. Rooney, Hazard, Neymar, Mbappe etc. Players that are just as good as many seasoned pros at a young age.
Is that you, Mr. Farage?
Fully agree with you. This is the current generation's Wayne Rooney transfer scenario, absolutely vital we secure him.
Nah, just had some fannies laughing as they had no idea who he was or his abilities.
Yep, Liverpool splashed big money to get their targets in a GK/CB
You'll be the first complaining that we are only good enough for 5th position and not challenging City / Liverpool
Chong will get his chance, but he's not looked ready yet, he needs more time. Sancho can play the left or right side equally well, we need a wide player If martial gets injured for the left, and he's guaranteed starter on the right. Sanchez/Mata are not good enough.
Yes if Madrid/Barca tried to buy Rashford they'd have to pay similar, but they won't as we won't sell him. That's the difference.
For Dortmund to sell we have to give them an offer they can't refuse, and it's big money. You pay what they want, or you move on.
Nah, wouldnt complain cause dont think he'd make any difference as yet anyway. Good potential but like many on here, like to see more than a few youtube videos and a couple of internationals before throwing 'whatever it costs' at it. I like more substance than hype as we already had our fingers burnt twice by these lot. Both occasions we signed the best player in Germany at that time.....
Having a wide player who is an individual danger, can take on a man and provide assists or score goals is a huge difference.
While Lingard does a great job of pressing and linking up play, he is no danger by himself from a wide position. We need a player to keep the width to stretch the pitch but he often comes inside and congests things.
Bonkers to think anyone who has watched him properly would think he wouldn't make a difference to us right now. Our right side has been a joke for YEARS, he'd instantly upgrade it and make it a threat, something it hasn't been in a ridiculous amount of time.
None of that actually exists, they were spontaneously created by hype and youtube compilations. Sancho has no substance but Lingard and Mata do
He would definitely make a big impact.
any reliable sources linking us? or just BS?
I feel like people are underrating for the sake of it or going against the grain for no apparent reasons. there's absolutely no downside to this transfer. it makes a sense from every possible angle. even if we pay the 100m so be it- you're securing a potential almost certain world class player for the next decade. for too long you complained about missing out on the best young talents and when the most obvious one came you're not convinced . like make your minds up already.
This lad is the real deal, and there's been too many reports from too many outlets for there to be nothing in it. If we can keep Pogba, DDG and get this guy in with one or two others I think we'll challenge for serious silverware next year.
BS in my opinion.
Zorc has just reiterated that transfer talk is irrelevant and they are already making plans for next season which includes Sancho. They’ve already sold Pulisic;they don’t need to sell again. We’d be bonkers to splash 100m on him right now.
Not that I think we are ever going to!
They just want us to pay more, we will, don't worry Zorcy.
A nothing story really. Although he might of course stay, that’s what the BD sports director would say either way. Especially if one or more clubs are interested and they want some serious money.
I’ll keep the faith.
You're obviously not getting £100m worth of quality at this point. What we'd be buying, is potential.
I am surprised southgate picked Hudson-Odoi ahead of Sancho today.
Sancho isn't 100% fit.
this is the sort of gamble we need to take if we're gonna get back to the top
his end product is excellent for a youngster, so for me it's worth the risk
won't hurt our chances of getting our top players to renew either, if we're signing exciting young talent like this

Odoi is a better player than Sancho. He is more mature, physically stronger and more confident, and has been thru the rough and tumble of the PL whilst Sancho is playing in a one-team league full of junk outfits. I'm sure even Bayern are now bored to death in that league.
You've posted this exact same thing, word-for-word in the Hudson-Odoi thread. How can you say he has been through the "rough and tumble of the PL" when he has started zero games in it?
Started zero league games.
Calm down buddy
Trust me, once you are in matchday squad in PL, you see stuff that you can't see in other leagues even as a starter.
And rating on game by game basis continues. Or half a game in this case.
To CHO thread!
To CHO thread!
feck me hes only been linked to Utd and hes injured
Agree and a great prospect but the figures are absolutely ridiculous based on one season. Its a massive gamble and the pressure on this lads shoulders would be ridiculous....especially if we give him the number 7 shirt. Lets see if hes the real deal after another season or a compromise is buy him and loan him back.
Why loan him back?
So, what is your point, he can justify the supposed price tag if he plays eight more games this season? Ok, lets be petty Mbappe cost £130m if Sancho costs 100m he needs to play approximately 33 more mins this season.....seriously?
Need more than one season in a lesser league to make that judgement before handing over record fee.
Its his second season though
