Jadon Sancho

Pulisic & CHO on the left and Ziyech & Sancho on the right, we've had worst options.

Unfortunately I can see us going all out for Rice and go for a budget option for the RW spot.

 
 Between CHO, Werner, Mount, Pulisic, Ziyech and Havertz we have a decent set of wingers.

Adding Sancho for that price will be excess unless CHO goes to Dortmund and we get Sancho for a deeply discounted price.  If it can infuriate Bayern while keeping Dortmund strong, It will make me happy. 

 
We're simply not going to spend 120M on Sancho.  73M on Havertz was a stretch at the time.

 
Do we even need Sancho ? Looking forward to seeing what Ziyech can produce in the same position.

And then we also have CHO, who is capable of producing similar numbers to Sancho in terms of goals/assists if he has a run of games in the team ... so Sancho is a "thanks but no thanks" for me, and especially so seeing as there seem to be a few question marks over his attitude etc.

We don't. To buy another key player where we already have a clear starter would only complicate things. Only if Pulisic keeps getting injured then we would need to re-evaluate him and consider if in fact he is a flop or not, otherwise someone would be unhappy very soon knowing that he is good enough to play as a starter but can't because the club bought another player to play in his position.

I disagree, certain players come available and sometimes you have to snap them up. We didn't really need Havertz and we still went out and bought him. He is a statement signing, the type of signing which takes you from third place to champions. And Hudson Odoi hasn't really impressed me since his injury, not that im writing him off but Chelsea are pretty ruthless.

 
I’d love to sign Sancho. He’s a fantastic player with his best days ahead of him and clearly already has a relationship with some of the squad.

I’m not so fussed about his price as some people are. If it was going to cause a FFP issue or meant missing out on plugging gaps in the squad that clearly need filling by the end of this season then I’d be against it. But if Roman and Marina were calm about it, I’d be all for it.

I’d love to snatch him from under United and Liverpool’s noses.

I got banned from there ages ago. Don't go near the place.

I find the Red Cafe quite good. You must have been real bad to get banned.

I got banned from The Fighting Cock. I started out being considerate and tactful but very soon it became evident a lot of posters didn't want me there and the abuse started to fly. I thought the mods would defend me but they didn't. In the end I went out in a blaze of glory because I knew the chop was coming. That site is the most inhospitable fans forum I have ever visited. I'm glad you get a bit of respect on here and not the abuse handed out by the pond life at The Fighting Cock.

Not been on there for years. I remember going on during the Suarez-Evra-TShirts episode, and found the posters to be extremely amusing and overwhelmingly sensible.

It was my anti-Glazer comments that did it. There are quite a few pro-Glazer types on there (or there used to be) who would post all kinds of guff about how debt was a good thing and how well the debt was being managed. That sort of thing. I think a lot of the posters have never set foot in Manchester never mind Old Trafford. The old 'RAWK goes into meltdown' did produce some brilliant satire though.

This site is a good place and though I realize I'm here under sufferance, I tend to visit the Chelsea Vintage pages which are excellent. I haven't been abused yet but I expect a few barbs now and then and that's how it should be.

That was amusing and they deserved all the scorn that was heaped on them. Trouble is, it's like water off a duck's back to to yer average dipper.

That was amusing. They had a superb gif maker on there who produced some brilliant stuff that had me in tears. Funny how all that has been swept under the carpet of history now Liverpool are champions again. It's Rick Parry who is the prime mover behind this 'Project Big Picture' (backed, I'm sorry to say, by United) but that's for another thread.

There's a huge anti-Glazer contingent in there now and has been for a while. There would be very few left if they kicked out all the anti-Glazer posters. The majority of Utd posters (75%) are in favour of Ole, even after the Spurs result, and want Woodward and the Glazers out. 

The Red Cafe has a hard contingent of Chelsea posters and we all team up together and chat among ourselves. Its like going to away matches. Yes there are some very funny/clever posters but as you say many haven't set foot in GB or a football stadium. 

The clamour for Jadon Sancho in the Utd transfer rumour thread was very entertaining for the outsider.

I said months ago that the Sancho deal was a non-starter. Not being a clever clogs here but it was clear that the money asked was more than we could afford, especially given the pronouncements from Woodward that the coronavirus had impacted us. His lapdog, Neil Ashton, has spun the story so that greedy agents are to blame for the deal not going through. I don't believe a word of it.

 
I look on the forum at the Red Cafe from time t time, it started with Mourinho going there, I was fascinated to see how he settled there.

I also agree there are a sizable number of bloggers against Glazer too. 

Sancho is at risk of becoming like Zaha if the club do not lower their money expectations.
