What's new

Jadon Sancho

This looks our most nailed on transfer at the moment, even if we will loan him back until the end of the season.

Another English talent, a Chelsea fan, and the fact he's in good form it's a no brainer if he's available otherwise City or United will be in to take him back up to Manchester.

What would be the point of loaning him back? We need to strengthen now.

While I agree we need to strengthen now but if we have a chance of signing Sancho, even if it means loaning him back, we must take it.

 
Only thing I don't like about this, is we sign Pulisic who was pushed out of Dortmund side due to Sancho. If that happens again, we have wasted £60m on Pulisic. Not to mention, people seem to have forgotten about Hudson-Odoi all of a sudden. He is supposed to be our Sancho. 

 
Sancho will be playing on right wing, Pulisic on left wing. 

CHO will be competing with Pusilic for a place, not Sancho.

Football's a squad game these days, there's more than enough minutes to go round.

We didn't waste anything, we simply invested in a young talented player. We need those, Willian and Pedro won't be about much longer.

Even if CHO gets to the same level, that’s 3 top level wingers. Plenty of minutes for three. Pedro & Willian are on their decline now, we need about 4 wingers and having three exceptionally good ones will be a godsend. Especially if we go 4-2-3-1 and Pulisic can play in the no. 10

 
Do you think the club would pay £120m for Sancho? Seems abit high compared to our normal transfer business.

We got hazards money,not a massive amount left to pay,for a bright young star who will be here for more than a decade,so I would hope the board see it that way

 
I'm not an accountant, and I hate all the transfer discussions quickly turned into money talk. If we are going to over spend on this guy, so be it, it's a statement. With the inflation in transfer fee every season, in a 2-3 seasons time we'd  see 120M as a bargain. He's a good player, and has the potential to be world class with the right management and self discipline. If he's signed with another English team, he'd haunt us for a decade to come just like the Kun. It's a no-brainer to overspend on him.

Its literally Hazard + Morata money.

Losing Hazard was a bummer, but the amount we recouped from Morata, makes up the money for Sancho.

Winger options of Sancho, Pulisic and CHO, 3 players who are young and have great potential. Maybe throw in 1 more experienced winger (not willian or pedro) and we're sorted on that front for several years to come.

 
Rumours that we’re close to agreeing £120m deal loan back until the summer. Good enough I suppose

Similar deal to Pulisic’s was always the likeliest deal to be made. So expensive but could easily give us a 10x return as we will have him for so long. I don’t think he would have a huge adjustment period to the style of the PL considering he’s English. Expensive but loads of potential.

Hoping we can come away with a player or 2 in January that actually join the team in January, though.

 
I've got a theory about us being linked to Sancho, i think its diversionary, we say yea we're in for Sancho @120 mill, and Manchester(s) take their eye off our real targets, we get Chilwell, Werner and Isco..

I would actually take Sancho over the other 3 players any day of the week.
Sounds like a bad decision but then you remember this:
Alonso has superior stats to Chilwell and Emerson is at the same level as Chilwell anyway so that one wouldn't be a big upgrade at all.
Isco hasn't done anything this season and would only disrupt the current system where Mount and Pulisic are playing really well, RLC is coming back next year as well so there's no real panic for this position.
Werner...He would be great though, an amazing signing if we could do it. 

So for me it would come down to who is a bigger upgrade for the squad on the long run, Sancho or Werner. Hard question, before you even try to answer it, you would need to figure out what role you would like for Werner to have. Is he a partner with Tammy, or his backup? I would say that every big team has 1 main striker and not 2, so Werner would be a backup, we really need a second good striker, but it doesn't need to be Werner.

So yea, Sancho would be my choice.

You need an Upgrade on Bats, and that is going to be a Grade A striker, for when Tammy has a dry spell, 2 top strikers like say Didier and Anelka?

Thats a good argument. I guess Werner is the top transfer target then, and Sancho for the summer.
