Jadon Sancho

[Withnail]

Slightly disappointing that we once had him and now he'll end up there.

Will be one of the Prem's best players for a number of years.

No, Ferran Torres will.

1. Always been a Rag
2. They are a proper club
3. They are playing the right way under Olly
4. Money isn't important, its an honour.
5. Not bothered about the price tag it is money self generated by the fans and not dirty oil money.

That will be the script, f@ck off scum.

Is football about getting big moves? Or about having a career corresponding to your talent? What has Sancho won so far apart from money from big moves?

He's 20 years old mate.

It can’t all be about winning medals because the vast majority of them retire with none and the majority won’t make much money out of it either. The lad wanted first-team football and went abroad to get it- no mean feat for an English player. He broke into the international set up and is now set to make another move, one which will set him up for life financially and give him a crack at medals, too.

If he’s successful there, it’s going to stick in our craw, but life is too short to worry about what might have been.

Will be interesting to see if this sell on clause we allegedly have is true. I haven’t seen it reported on amongst all this.

It is - 15%.

You forgot "biggest club in the world"
I'm sure he'll mention it, I'm sure it's in their contract.

With such a massive fees also comes high wage. Even 200k will be obnoxious for a 20 year old and he may probably ask for something in the range of 250-300k. This thing is not self sustaining. I feel Mbappe is paid way to much and he is 10 times the player Sancho is. I forsee the rags crashing and burning with these high wages to most of their players.

Early success might be detrimental to the player in terms of reaching his ceiling. Time will tell but I think Foden will go on to have a better career than Sancho partly because he was patient enough to learn from some of the best players and the best manager in the world.

 

[jaiguruKun]

Is it wishful thinking that them paying £100m + for him may put a stop to accusations of us inflating the market?

Exactly, that's the best time to be patient and learn from one of the greatest managers in history who has managed some of the greatest talents ever. Praising him for not wanting to learn from Pep and being impatient is premature.
