Jadon Sancho

[squirtyflower]

Who left at 17. How much should have we played him as a 16 year old?

We should have played him about 38 league games

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

If he was such a proven genius at 17 then why did no-one else from this country try to sign him for the £8m that he went for?

Not a chance we would sell him to anyone in this country.

A bit like City?

Nah we’ve got a game in hand.

 

[Thomas Hearns]

He’s nowhere near the level of Leroy or Raz and he wanted to go so I’m glad we sold him. He’s had a great season no doubt but let’s see how he does next year when the surprise element is no longer a factor.

Buster Phillips looked a world beater in his first season.

He really didn’t.

He took very quick throw ins though and always looked up for them.

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

He wouldn't sign a new contract and he went on strike. Our hands were tied and we took what we could get. In the real world of business, prejudices don't apply like they do in the stands.

Disagree. He was in the same bracket as extravagantly talented Argentine wonder kid Mathias Vuoso

The difference being that Phillips actually played for the first team, whereas Vuoso didn’t.

I would hate to see him end up at Utd. Madrid will be in for him this year.

Do we have any contractual clauses included within the sale of him.

I think we get 15% of the transfer fee

There has been nothing from Madrid to suggest that so far.

Out of all the elite clubs, I suspect Madrid & Utd will be bulk buying in the coming transfer window. Although not sure about Utd being elite!

Elite transfer fees for non-elite players.

 

[MrsCity]

Are we really that arsed about this kid? We won the league and broke every record without him

 

[aguero93:20]

Elite transfer fees for non-elite players.

Elite level wages as well don't forget.

But imagine what we could have done with him!

We could have perhaps gotten 3 or 4 more points!
