What's new

Jadon Sancho

He's a Chelsea fan? Where did you see this? 

I think he'd be a luxury at this point given the wing players we have that are doing the business. I suppose the versitilty that we have in that band of three would allow us to rotate 4 players in and out but then RLC will have to play further back.

It was news to me too, but apparently he grew up a Chelsea fan.  Some others have posted about it, and supposedly he’s admitted he was a boyhood Chelsea fan in an interview.

 
This is the year to get him imo barring a sharp decline. I'd reckon if another team gets him this season then we'd be wise to look for someone else

I think we need to invest in a player who can play on the wing and be shifted into the Number 9 position if needed (Dybala?)

Gerard Moreno - plays both at CF and right flank - 8 goals 3 assists in 13 appearances in La Liga this season.

Another crazy suggestion! 28 year old Spanish forward, who has had an unspectacular career before this season, hits a purple patch in form, so immediately he would be a good siging for us? 

Looks like the sort of player that Southampton, newcastle, or Villa would take a punt on.

 
I was never on the Sancho train until today.  Willian, Pedro and possibly CHO offer no goal scoring threat on the wing.

As I mentioned in the match thread, Pulisic is not a like to like replacement for Hazard as he doesn't score many goals (creative winger).

I'd be in for Sancho, Chilwell and a backup striker in the summer.

Agree with your overall point here but you’re harsh on CHO.  He’s certainly a threat to score on the wing, and today he was very direct and did some nice things.  I expect him to be a regular starter in the near future, with an uptick in goal contribution.

That said, if we do sign the players you’ve suggested, I’d be pretty happy with it.  I’ve been on board with signing Sancho, while the Chilwell signing is something I could talk myself into liking.

Side note, Sancho scored a fantastic goal against Barcelona the other night.

 
Sancho would never come here, he’d get in to debt paying his fines for being late for everything!

If he does come thinking that he can manage it all, it would be great. A good talent that is also funding our next transfer in multiple ways, Marina can't go wrong with this one!

 
We're interested and I think we'll get him over the chasing pack for various reasons.

Hudson Odoi - Pulisic - Sancho will be an elite attacking midfield, all under the age of 21.

On paper I agree but too FIFA 20 for me, I expect our goals conceded to rocket next season

Why would you expect that? Would sancho be that much of downgrade on willian defensively, that we would concede significantly more goals?

Seems a pretty flawed argument.

Villa's goal tonight came from the left flank, Pulisic nowhere to be seen. Dortmund 5th below Leipzig and Schalke and struggle to keep clean sheets.

I don't doubt he's an exceptional talent but I think we'll be exposed too easily on the flanks imho. New Jesper Gronkjear 😛

Chelsea are ready to break their transfer record in the pursuit of Borussia Dortmund's wantaway forward Jadon Sancho and are confident about their chances of landing him ahead of Manchester United either in January or next summer.

The Blues are pressing ahead with transfer plans, despite their current ban on signing players, with a Court of Arbitration for Sport [CAS] appeal verdict due any day, and are willing to pay more than the £72 million they stumped up to capture goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Athletic Club last year.

Sancho enjoys a close relationship with a number of Chelsea players, including England team-mates Tammy Abraham and Callum Hudson-Odoi, and hails from London.

I have nothing against Jadon Sancho, I think he's very good for his age and doing good at Dortmund. My problem is players demanding too much these days, he's only 21 and has a long career in front of him and I exepct humanility from all these players who are nominated to be the next big things in football.

I've read few reports that Sancho requests to leave, he decided to come late after the Internationals. I don't know how true all this, but at his age, all he has to do is respect the club he plays for and do his best in every training, game.

If we can get the best of him and get real professionalism of him, then it would be an incredible addition to our squad. He offers a lot in his game, creativity, dribbling, speed. He can assist, he can score.

I just hope it won't be the Pogba situation, I want us to buy the real ballers.

He’s actually only 19.  It’s just how teenagers are, immature and possibly poorly advised.  Look at the CHO situation.

Seems like all signs point to Chelsea signing Sancho though.  I know the press is dodgy, but Kinsella is one who doesn’t print a ton of garbage.
