They’ve been lacking a quality RW for ages. Greenwood’s looked good but he’ll end up a striker. Plus he can’t play 50 games a season given how average Dan James looks to be. It makes a lot of sense, shame he’s going to them.IMO, I do think based off what they've done thus far in their careers it's not crazy to say Sancho is currently a better player than Torres, but the recruitment of the two goes to show the differences between how City and United are run in regards to transfers. We have a bigger need (CB) and we never pay the absolute top dollar for transfers, so we went out and found a skilled, technical winger to with only one year left on his contract at a bargain price to integrate in the team replacing Sane. They could use another midfielder and CB and yet they're spending over 100m on a winger because he's marketable. Will he improve them? Absolutely, but this likely means they'll be bringing in lower quality in midfield and defense than they could have if they went for someone like Torres.
Sancho is a huge upgrade if not a coup and he will seriously improve them whatever the cost.They’ve been lacking a quality RW for ages. Greenwood’s looked good but he’ll end up a striker.

Yes they could have gone for Torres, I’m glad we’ve got him, but let’s not pretend Sancho isn’t a massive coup, especially since Inter are taking Sanchez’s massive wages off their books.
It's the transfer thread, not the 'Just City Transfers' thread. And he will/maybe a major transfer this window. As ever if you don't like a thread then don't look at it.Why have we got a 183 page thread in a transfer forum on a former player we're not going to buy, and with many of us disliking the manner in which he departed.
This is a waste of bandwidth
If the figures being bandied about are anywhere close to correct then it's not a coup, it's just that no one else is willing to come near them.They’ve been lacking a quality RW for ages.

Edit: it's not something I've particularly looked at but aren't United paying Sanchez off so he can sign for free?
Its a fair point though, although we are not quite at the insanity level of the 3000+ page Pogba thread.It's the transfer thread, not the 'Just City Transfers' thread. And he will/maybe a major transfer this window. As ever if you don't like a thread then don't look at it.
Average. And wont come back to us. He'll go to United for 300k a week and play once every 4 weeks.
Oh absolutely. While some on here have slagged him off because he left, I've thought for a while its clear that he's one of the top young talents in the world. He didn't want to wait on an opportunity here and he gambled on himself in Germany and its paid off. I have no ill will for him and he will improve their front line. My point was just that I don't see that as their biggest need this current transfer window, and if they aren't going to sign him he may still be available next summer.They’ve been lacking a quality RW for ages.
