Jadon Sancho

I think we need to go all out for Sancho as the alternative is for him to end up at Manchester United, they are our closest rivals at this moment in time and the Sancho signing ultimately could be the difference between the 2 teams in the short term future. It is even more vital that we get one of the elite youngsters currently available in the market and Sancho seems like the most realistic acquisition for Chelsea, Werner is likely to end up at Liverpool, Martinez has his heart set on Barcelona & Haaland has recently moved to Dortmund.

Having the attacking options which include Zyech, Sancho, Tammy, Pulisic & Hudson Odoi would easily be top 3 in the PL

We have to sell before we can buy and the latest rumblings from Woodward suggests we're a bit brassic and will have to sell before we can buy. £100 million is a lot for a youngster and we won't get anything like that for Pogba so I'd say he won't be coming to United. Dortmund don't have to sell and there's also the issue of City's first dibs on the player if he leaves.

I have not seen any reports, anywhere, that indicate that Citeh has first rights to him should he be on the move - where are you seeing this?

It was in the Manchester Evening News some time ago. It's not a first pick as I stated but if City match any fee offered to Dortmund, they move to the head of the queue. At least that's how I read it but the MEN is a pretty piss-poor paper these days so you never know.

But Sancho still has to want to go there, they can match any bid they want. It's his choice.

That's true. I still don't think he'll come to us unless we unload Sanchez and/or Pogba. More wishful thinking in my opinion. I suppose that puts you in pole position if he does leave Germany.

 
City should be a very desirable destination but two seasons without CL is not ideal. However at the moment I think Chelsea is a pretty desirable place to end up as well. Sancho could see it as a beginning of a path for him. Build this side to become European elite once more with some of his mates in London.

From all the three clubs I think Utd is the riskiest side to end up. I still don't see what Ole is trying to do there or the club itself actually. They lack a leader there.

I'm not sure Ole knows what he's doing there, looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights to me. I'm sure if we really wanted Sancho we could get him, but with the World and Football climate at present not sure we really want him. 

 
My concern is that Ornstein (Correspondent -- The Athletic / ex-BBC) has said we haven't been in contact with any entourages since January -- United and to a lesser extent Liverpool have -- which is not too long before we confirmed the Ziyech signing. He's nothing short of an exceptional player, but Sancho is a top 3 youth talent, having the potential to be a top five forward in the world as barely anybody has achieved the kind of prowess he's shown at his age, so it'd be disappointing if we decided to go for one or the other, when really having both would elevate us back to we've often been, and fixing the winger position for general firepower.

I think at this point, the only way I'll be ok with us not getting Sancho, is if we get Havertz instead.

Sancho is superb but he won't be moving until the market stabilises. Dortmund are too smart for that.

Havertz is a funny one. I'm honestly not sure where he fits. He has huge overlap with Loftus Cheek, Mount and critically Ziyech. He seems to occupy that right inside channel same place as Ziyech does his best work. He seems like an answer to a question that is already answered.

I love his left footedness but I havent seen him be the guy who opens up the angles on the left side of the pitch. His passing isn't that great either, better with the ball at his feet. Jury is out for me as to whether he would be worth the fee. 

More and more I think this is a summer to find value and strengthen our defence and then wait for next season to pay huge fees on attackers.

 
On the bench again for Dortmund, Haaland and Eden's bro Thorgan start.

Only 2 years left on his contract though and Dortmund are a selling club. They have to be thinking about selling him this summer if they want good money for him.

Fair point - Question is what would have the bigger impact one year left or teams nor having any money. United's results were a disaster and I imagine other teams will be too.

They don’t actually; they could still get their €120m in Jan with 18mths left (loan back till end of season like Pulisic), or wait till next summer & sell for €100m with a year left (like with Hazard). I wouldn’t be budging on the price if I were them because of the pandemic. 

 
Did absolutely nothing. Dortmund was toothless against professional Bayern.

Just throw everything at him! We will be mad to let him end up at Utd. A trio of Rashford-Greenwood-Sancho is scary & would haunt the league for years.

Just get on the phone & ask Dortmund to name their price. Him along with a LB (Telles?) would do nicely this summer, then try & shift Barkley & Jorginho since he is itching for a move. He is a guarantee to notch at least 15+ contributions in goals + assists even in a bad year, and the nearest young talent next to Mbappe.
