I am not going to kid myself, i think Utd will be signing a brilliant player in Sancho, but if i had the choice... Sancho for 120m or Werner and Ziyech for under 100m, i am taking the Chelsea deal all day long. Why pay out such a huge fee for one player when you can have two which are just as good if not better?
That is the reason i think Chelsea backed away from the Sancho deal because there were far better deals out in the market. I think City have thought exactly the same as Chelsea, why pay up to 120m on a player who will be nothing more than an expensive luxury at City, when we can spread the wealth across our squad and target other positions that are higher priority for us? It is just an absolute no brainer.
If Torres turns out 3/4 of what Sancho turns out at Utd, we have got the better deal by far. The problem with United though is, because us and Liverpool, their two fiercest rivals have knocked them off their perch, they are absolutely desperate to put their name in the headlines by making high profile, very expensive signings and try and become relevnt again. They want the latest new toy who will become the next poster boy that sells millions of shirts. That is all Woodward cares about, the bloke is an absolute bellend.
