Jadon Sancho

I know this has been debated to death but after seeing him again today should we try to buy him for a “fair price” (no idea what that’d be - 60m+?) simply because he is English and decent? And Let Dortmund keep him on loan until David Silva leaves?

Why would we sign Sancho to replace Merlin?

They play in different positions and we already have a built-in replacement for Spanish Dave.

Hopefully.
 
I wonder how foden feels when he sees his mate doing bits in the bundesliga, I know he has top players in front of him but people have been saying "oh he's got better players in front of him" and "his minutes are gonna increase this season" for years now. I think it's crunch time now to see if he gets truly gets significant minutes and starts in the big games. Surely if pep anoints him as "the most talented player he has ever seen" then he should get serious minutes.

Think of it like this, if same leaves Bernardo plays right, sterling left agurlero/Jesus central, David Silva is gone next season gundogan has a year left and will probably leave after this season so if by next season he isn't a starter I think serious questions should start to be raised.

Utter nonsense.

Foden has only just turned 19. If he’s played too much now, when there is no need to, he will be burnt out by the time he is 28. Just look at shrek.

Pep is doing the right thing in bringing Phil along slowly and I’m sure he will play more and more as the season progresses. He had two or three PL starts at the back end of last season, including against Spurs, so it’s obvious Pep has faith in him, so let’s just show a little patience.
 
Exactly my first thought .

Sounds like media bullshit .

Dortmund sit between Atletico and Juventus in terms of revenue and spend conservatively on transfer fees, they can easily afford big wages to their key players.

German media reported this last week, I doubt it's made up.

Given the lack of extension, it's probably more of a reward for sitting still this summer and an acknowledgement that they were underpaying him before and he'll be gone in 12 months time.

Sancho is no replacement for David Silva. We might get someone who could come up to 75 to 80% of what David Silva brought to the Etihad, but no one could produce what he has given us - and for ten years!!
 
Do we get a sell on %. Thought we had first option in a sale?
Fuck him wouldn’t have him back, didn’t want to stay and play for us before so what’s changed now, anyway Pep wouldn’t entertain him now. What I don’t get about him is why he is valued as highly as he is, higher the Sane and Kev, what’s that about?

English premium?

If so, that’s some fucking premium!
