Jadon Sancho

[Parisian]

Agent talk

PSG is quoted and i find it weird.

I mean, the few times i saw him, his talent was obvious and i wouldn't mind him at Paris at all. The reported fee is a problem though for PSG that is cash-strapped with FFP in their arse and that need to reinforce other areas of the pitch aswell. We were in for de Jong at around 75 M, that means we have identified that position to be crucial and that massive investment will be needed there. Don't see how we could be in for a 100 M+ english winger. I add the english part because that will make his value raise when a club like United is interested in.
Seems a non story on the part of PSG. Interested in him, yes. All clubs like talent. Ready to fork out that stupendous fee is another matter.

Quiet on the 100m man tonight.

No one would give a shit about Sancho if he didn’t come from our academy.

He came from Watford's academy. We only put a coat of paint on the lad.

 

[BlueAnorak]

Oh and he wasnt in any way great tonight.
He will be a star but he has to work a lot harder.

 

[paulchapo]

I understand that he is being told that he has to work harder and has had a loss of form; cue agent's talk about interest from elsewhere.

Yes I saw the coach saying talent is 10% the rest is hard work, or something similar.

I am fed up of all the hype surrounding the lad to be honest. Yes he looks talented but 100 million? Really??

Also we did all we could to keep him by all accounts and him missing training or going on strike leaves a bad taste for me. It wouldn't surprise me if he grew up supporting the rags coming from London. No time for him and I don't want him back here, I hope he disappears up the autobahn to mediocrity.

The media are dying to make us look silly by letting him go to Dortmund . They love it! all this hysteria surrounding the kid to try make us look like we don’t keep hold of our British talents so they have to go away....
He is no way a 100m player so if the rags are stupid enough to pay that crack on lol. Doubt they will though!

 

[oakiecokie]

Average display tonight.
Is he a "fair weather" player in an average league ?

Exactly that! apart from Bayern and Dortmund it’s not a great standard of League and Football. And even the above are not a great standard!
It’s all a media hype garbage.
Look at City they let such a talent go to Germany where they are willing to let him play.....yeh ok!

He's a kid, doing very well in a good attacking side in a second tier league. He's not a world beater yet and may never be, but as per usual, he's English so gets ridiculously hyped by your media, with the additional bandwidth provided by the opportunity to have a pop at us.

Nope. He is a young lad,brave enough to embrace a new culture language and style of football,who is playing for one of the top two teams in Germany,playing regualrly for a team who routinely qualify fir the latter stages of the champions league,and is turning out for his country now on a regular basis.
The lad has not done a lot wrong,imo; .he has played more football than Sanchez and Marhrez over the last few months ,he hasnt slagged any team or manager off.....why are we so against him? Why?

Edit: all good footballers want to do is ...Play football.Wheres Fred??

The media don’t care about Watford; they only want a stick to beat City with.

Why should we be for him?? He threw his toys out of the pram, refused to train/,play, knocked back a great deal and the chance to train with Pep. Sure he appears to be doing fairly well over there but good enough to be talked about as worth 100 million and picked for England? All that bollocks is because he left us trust me. Not the kids fault but don't ask me to get all misty eyed over a cocky kid who disrespected us and pissed off.

Who is against him?
And why bring Mahrez into it? :/

Who said he was worth 100m? Not me. Thats the media.
We are in danger of building up a liverpool/raheem style "he left us/i hate him" bandwagon.
Fuck me,he is a kid who chose regualr first team football. I,m not asking snyone to be misty eyed over sancho,least of all you,a damn good poster on here,..im just surprised folk feel the need to have a go.
Thats all.

Why would anybody be against him? Are you?
Take a look back thru the thread and see who is...against him.daft question really mate..there are plenty

I used sanchez and mahrez..as examples of players City wanted to sign/or did..either player would have reduced Sancho s 1st team opportunities...surely you can see that.?....talented kids are desperate to play. They know how good they are,and sitting on benches... as opposed to playing first team football regularly in both domestic and champions league..you have to say ,the lad made the right choice.now a full england international.
Do you agree..?

Thanks for the praise, most unexpected. I don't in particular think people are having a go and certainly not in the way the dippers did with Sterling. I just don't get the love in from some of our fans for him. He chose to leave and was hardly here long enough to form any affection or affinity with. He is just another ex player who may or may not come back to haunt us. I dislike all the ridiculous hysteria surrounding him, fuelled mainly because he left moneybags City.

Tbh I’ve not followed the thread so no I’ve not seen anything against him.
I’d rather not either I can make my own mind up by watching the matches he has played in....
Is he some supersonic amazeball £100m+ player that is being portrayed by the UK media?
No
Is he a young emerging talent who can go a long bloody way in this game if it goes right for him?
Yes of course.
Am I bitter he left for Dortmund?
No
Would I rather have Mahrez or him in our squad? (at the present time at least) Mahrez all day long.

I had no real clue as to his ability before he left; others hv watched him in our youth teams and i understand he was highly rated..
I just see him as someone brave enough to trust his ability ,get 1st team football and take a gamble.

A footballers career can be so short..who wants to wait??
..i,m so glad City were skint in the late 80s snd i was able to watch,live,Paul Lake..play in our first team at right back(Shrewsbury Town at home) left back ,centre half ,, central midfield. ,left midfield(utd5-1) right midfield ,and centre forward (everton away LC QF)..Paul Lake coming thru now would have to sit on the bench watching our expensive imports ....If i had Lakes ability...i,d have been off...his career cut short thru injury...i,m proud to say i saw him play.
A modern day Paul Lake would have no chance at City.and thats quite sad..purely my opinion.

Re Sancho,i dispise the media hype.. ,but can only say "well done" for having the balls to say yes to Dortmund.in the same way he had the confidence to leave Watford for City.Good luck to the lad.

 

[paulchapo]

I saw Lakey play, so sad he was destined for the top.
