What's new

Jadon Sancho

He is playing well no doubt. Cologne were awful though. Haaland scored twice in about 10 mins coming off the bench. Just strolling through.

 
Big United links popped up on Sky Sports just after the Ziyech thing showed up for us. Maybe something has been decided by Sancho’s team.

Don’t worry too much. Ziyech’s natural position is #10 so perhaps he’ll take Mount’s place, meanwhile being an option for wing too.

I don't know if we need Sancho. I know everybody would like him, but I heard we were also considering resigning Boga from Sassulo for £15m. He is doing great in a below mid table side in Serie A this season. 

 
My problem is the fee for Sancho + agent fees will be A LOT! I am not sure it is worth it when we have other areas to upgrade on. Money doesn't come out of thin air. We need a LB, a GK, another striker and a CB. Boga and Ziyech, in my opinion, could be ideal. 

 
Would still be my number 1 signing for the summer.

Like some others, I’m just wondering if Chelsea are looking at Boga & Ziyech as a cheaper alternative.

With selling some of our deadwood it could still be possible to get Ziyech & Sancho.

That would be a productive summer.

Will be a bargain if he turns out to be a generational talent like a Messi, his stats seem to support this.

Key for me is the reduction in our wage bill. We've got Pedro, Willian and Giroud leaving. Not to mention Hazards departure. That's before we consider the futures of Kepa, Alonso, Barkley and Batshuayi.

At a minimum we'll have 300k a week in wages walking off our bill. That gives us a lot of room in the budget. We know we have Hazard, Morata money squirrelled away too.

I'd imagine the fee will be in the range of Dembele. That's still less than we sold Hazard for.

Honestly, I just don't see us going for him. Man Utd are stupid enough to buy a player for god knows how much. They can sell Pogba too to make some of that money back. We don't have the luxury of selling one of our top players unless we were to sell someone like Kante.

I'm not convinced we will be at the races either.

We certainly won't be selling Kante to fund it.

The wage bill should really start to fall, with so many of our biggest earners having left, and with us also hsving to trim the loan army,  and probably have less players on our books in general. 

Im not sure if Sancho will be viable, but i think its worth taking into account the actual amortization cost. If he has a very successful career here, and stays for 10 years, every time we extend his contract, his financial hit is spread further. 

If he is a massive success, and the big Spanish teams come calling, we could even make a profit on him.

Its a massive gamble at the prices being quoted, but he is still so young that there is still a good chance it could be seen as a bargain when we look back in years to come. 

We dont tend to have a good record though when we break the bank, which does make me nervous, but if Lampard thinks he the man to be the star player in his side, then i think we should back him, if its at all viable.

We wouldn’t need to sell Kante to fund it, anyways. The Hazard and Morata money is more than enough. In fact, we can almost come out even with the Hazard and Morata money to buy Sancho and Ziyech, especially if the add ons are met with Hazard’s sale.

 
Hypothetically, would you prefer sancho for 100 (if not more) or ziyech and Werner for same money?

 
It would send such a strong message if we we're to sign him. It would be a huge boost to the fans, the manager, the playing staff and the club in general and we could improve immensely next season.

I really hope it happens.
