What's new

Jadon Sancho

We seem to go in cycles of nationality in our player recruitment, according to whichever team is "hot" and flavour of the month on the international stage ... and who is our manager.

In the Roman era, we've gone through Portugal, Brazil. Spain, France, Belgium and Italy ... I think England is in vogue now ... we have a crop of bright talents springing up all over the place. And we have a young and talented English manager now as well of course.

So I expect our recruitment to be predominantly English players, which I see as a good thing in terms of our "identity" and player/fan appreciation and relationship. And it would not surprise me at all to see Sancho as being part of that.

He is supposedly a Chelsea fan too if I remember correctly

 
I would be all over Sancho if I was Lampard... or Marina... whatever. A rotation of CHO, Pulisic, Sancho and Mount thrown in every once in a while kind of has me drooling a bit. I won't hold my breath, tbf but I will remain slightly optimistic.

 
Sign Sancho and Ousmane Dembele, get rid of Pedro and Willian and we have 4 world class attacking players on our hands!

Just throw in another top striker to compete with Tammy (or even overtake for the moment) and 2-3 signings in defence and we have a solid overall squad for several years to come, especially with the likes of our up and coming youth like Gallagher and Gilmour for example

 
Sancho? Sure, if we could get him and so long as we can rotate him with CHO and Pulisic. I don't want to stunt their growth for the sake of an area where we are already decent.

 
What does everybody think of our chances?

Its beginning to look likely. Liverpool were rumoured to be interested, but now they’re after that winger from Salzburg, and I don’t think they can justify spending a lot of money on a winger to compete with Salah & Mane.

Man United were set to sign him but got refused when they failed to finish in champions league place (According to a United fan) 

Who else is there? Man City? I think they’re contend with what they have and also they have a reputation of walking away if they can’t match the valuation. 
 

So that leaves us. January is our best chance imo, we leave it until summer there will be too much competition imo.

Anyones guess tbh, 

Dortmund are the type of club that only sells on their terms, even if it means taking less money in the long term. 

So while it looks like January is the best time to move, as most of our competitors will probaly be out of the running having spent in the summer, and probably need to secure champions league funds for next season 1st, it really depends on Dortmund.

At the ages they're at form will always fluctuate. There's more than enough games to go round.

 
Sancho is a must buy for me at this point, can't go wrong, really needed signing.

 
We need him pretty desperately since our current crop of players can't be arsed to perform against the likes of West Ham, Everton and Bournemouth.

 
I'm not even sure he is what we need. We don't just need talented footballers, we need a bit of power and work rate. Sancho looks like he would struggle with the physical part of the league as much as our other players have been.

He just looks too good, 19 years old sure maybe he will need time to adapt like Pulisic but other than that, the risk that he would struggle physically in the league should be 0.

Last season 12 goals, 14 assists and 7motm won in Bundesliga. He's simply going to fit right in with Tammy, look at how much he tried to deliver the ball to the box:

This season he has already 8 goals and 8 assists and 4Motm in the league, 2 goals and 2 assists in Champions league...

I read somewhere the club are not sure of him because Dortmund are asking silly money for him,probably more 120 -140 million.

Fair enough, the stats are definitely on his side that's for sure.
