Sancho looks like he's a disciplinary problem and a ball ache to manage, he'll suit the rags and bring more trouble for their dressing room. The videos I have seen him in make Lingard look normal.

And a lot of these kids seem to have broken fingers & want to show them off. Don't know what that's all about.

The difference between Sancho and Angelino says it all. We were more than happy to have one back and we're seemingly more than happy not to have the other one back, even with the clear difference in ability.We’re not interested in Sancho returning and Guardiola made that very clear in a public interview. That was interesting in itself, as it signalled to Sancho that he’d burnt his bridges with us. It also signalled to Dortmund that we would not participate in any auction for him, partly because we disliked the initial approach that lured the player and partly because we don’t want to be used so that Dortmund can profit even further. Finally, it signalled to our neighbours that we would not compete with them for Sancho, thus giving them a clear run at the player, safe in the knowledge that they are not going to be outbid. They’ll still pay a lot, but not top price.
Question is, will that lot reciprocate and publicly state that they have no interest in signing Koulibaly? If they did, it would suggest there might be a gentleman’s agreement in place.

Zero trust In them may actually be more than we have in Napoli. ;-)That last line....come on Gab, even if we'd spoken, like UEFA they're not for being trusted and I'm sure the club would have zero trust in them as well.
I can be overly Machiavellian at times, I appreciate, but we don’t even need to have spoken. Simply by stating so publicly that we had zero interest cleared the way for them. They would recognisse that and appreciate it. In turn, they don’t even need to come out publicly and say they have no interest in Koulibaly, silence is enough or simply decline his agent’s approaches. The Italian press are today trying to rekindle interest from Juventus and Internazionale, which again makes me think they are need to be seen to have more suitors.
All conjecture but we’ll see.

Clearly it would be in our best interests to drive the Sancho fee up? Could the rags drive the koulibaly fee up? I very much doubt it if there balls deep for Sancho there will only be enough money left to sign mediocre players from clubs like say Swansea.

I agree that their characters are as different as their abilities, but if we had had the same contract mechanism with Sancho as we had for Angelino, I’m sure we’d have been interested in bringing him back with a view to selling him on again. Quickly.
Why? I'm sure we've got far more important issues than trying to get that shite to pay a few quid more for a player. We're not interested, we don't have to lower ourselves to their standard.Clearly it would be in our best interests to drive the Sancho fee up? Could the rags drive the koulibaly fee up?

Why would he sign a contract if he knew that's what the plan was? It's not football manager on the PC.I agree that their characters are as different as their abilities, but if we had had the same contract mechanism with Sancho as we had for Angelino, I’m sure we’d have been interested in bringing him back with a view to selling him on again.
