Jadon Sancho

[ninjamonkey]

Heard a story yesterday about Sancho.

His attitude (as perceived by City), meant he was put in the ‘shop window’ of an ‘open day’ - a few days when any players that are deemed to be surplus to requirements are ‘shown off’ to invited potential buyers. Dortmund were one of many invited, liked what they saw of Sancho on the pitch (presumably with no ‘background info’), and put in an offer, which City readily agreed to.

And then as everyone knows, City with the eye to the potential future, put in a 20% future sell-on clause, so Sancho made ‘the academy’ £5m from dortmund + £15m from united.

That sounds like something that happens for lads just released from lower league academies on their last chance to make a career from football not what happens for a guy who's one of the stars of one of the best academies in the world. We didn't need to be inviting dortmund to come look at him nor would dortmund a club renowned for picking up top talents nurturing then and selling for big money be unaware of him.

Anyway, I wonder what Jadons plans are for this winter.

It wasn't just Sancho, it wasn't just Dortmund. As I said just what I was relayed.

He'd just won the u17 world cup and was one of the most highly rated u17s in world football. Dortmund knew exactly who he was.

He was at Dortmund then, they recalled him from the Tournament after the group stage.

You're right. I knew we had 3 players there i was thinking Foden Sancho and Latibeaudere, it was the keeper Anderson though!

I think I'm thinking of u17 euros where we got beat in the final, and he was superb possibly player of the tournament.

Still certain they knew who he was though.

Jadon who? He'll be at whatever club Steve Bruce is managing next in a couple of seasons.

Michael Carrick's Middlesbrough.

Michael Carrick's Middlesbrough.

He's been shite for the rags. 70+ million and God knows how much in wages and in total he's probably had half a dozen good games if that.

Just needs to turn a corner.

Just needs to turn a corner.

And make fish finger butties.

Yeah but imagine them either side of Kev. Two home grown superstars that could be engines main stays for the next decade. Sancho would hardly have been a failure had he stayed.

Bang on. Don't know why people don't see this.
