What's new

Jadon Sancho

Coming back on the same subject, Alex Ferguson said in his own book that you only need 2-3 players to play great on any given night to win. The rest of the players need to simply do their job. We need to find the players who are ready to step up consistently and fill the roster with players who can work as a team. Not everyone has to be a superstar. That´s why this transfer ban might work out best for us because CHO and Pulisic, throw in Tammy and Mount will get a chance to show if they can be that player. 

In recent history think of a Cahill or Bosingwa. They weren´t the best or the most talented players, but they backed up the Lampards and the Drogbas which led us to trophies. 

 
Already a super player. His end product is on another level. 

Sadly you feel he’s too big for us now. Out of our league but we can live and hope.  

 
Would make him our marquee signing next season, Hazard's actual replacement (I know Sancho plays on the right and Eden the left). Think he will cost 100-130m given that he's English, young and absolute quality.

Hudson Odoi Pulisic Sancho and we're set for 10+ years.

You got two hopes of that happening. Bob Hope and no hope!

You'd have Pulisic play centrally then?  The only issue I see with buying Sancho is that they are all wingers, and I don't think any are especially suited to a false 9 role, but Pulisic would be the closest as he grew up playing centrally.

Lampard actually mentioned playing Pulisic as a #10 during pre-season.

He's not THAT good. For £150m plus two players, I would be expecting Messi or Ronaldo quality.

Yeah fair enough. It was based on the the fact that people were saying hes a 200m signing, in which case that was the value I assumed he was.

What I actually think would be worth to pay him is something like 50m + Bats/Willian as he's said to be worth 90m on the market

 
I'm still unsure if I actually want Sancho. It's not that I don't think he is a good player, I'm just not sure he is the type of player we need. I think we need to target a player with a similar style as Willian, but with more consistent end product. Sancho could upset the balance we have.

I’m inclined to agree with you, but I think the one thing that Sancho has going for him is that he loves Chelsea - so he would fit right in with our other youngsters in that regard.

I think Pulisic could end up being the player you described here - industriousness is there and his end product is already as good, if not better, than Willian’s.  Ball retention needs work to match Willian, but that should come.

 
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?) 

 
I think people keep forgetting he is 19, he is a scary prospect and if there is any chance we could get him we will be mad not to.

If your front 3 is producing regularly, let the opposition worry about stopping them instead of worrying about their defensive contributions. I never see the defensive aspect of a Sane, Sterling, Salah or a Mane ever being brought up in any discussion.

 
With what we are doing I think young players will now look at us as a realistic option to further their careers. So long as Lamps stays at the helm.

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.
