Jadon Sancho (confirmed loan signing)

[Rigadon]

Sancho is a more talented player than Rashford is. I'm more excited by this than I was when Rashford signed. He's a much better player.

If Unai can get the best out of him we will be laughing.

I don't like the talk of covering 80% of his wages though.

Is he bollocks.

Yeah, sorry but that's nonsense. Rashford has done it in the PL in a big way, but the player we look like loaning in hasn't after a few attempts.  A good season in Germany isn't the same thing.

Sancho isn’t a bad player. He’s got a lot to prove at PL level however. We can only hope we are getting the Dortmund version.

Man U and Chelsea hoped they'd get the Dortmund version.  Chelsea ultimately paid £5m to NOT keep him.

I admire your optimism but that is 4 years ago. Like when Stoke beat us to the Michael Owen signature I thought he won't play a dozen games

Are we interested in Michael Owen?  Now you’re talking.

That sums it up - they couldn't be bothered with of even bothering to get him, loan him to I dunno Leverkusen or Sevilla and hoping for a break even, Just pay a retropective additonal £5m in loan fees

Sancho is 25. A bit of difference than getting the broken down end of career Michael Owen Stoke got.

Sure, that’s a valid concern. But Chelsea have also got rid of many players they spend lots of money on.

I feel sorry for our social media team, imagine having to try and spin Sancho and Lindelof as positives.

Imagine the grief they'd have been in for if we signed a crocked pisshead from Manchester United in 1989 and social media existed?

Yeah but will he score more than Watkins?

He might do. He won't be our striker though.

17 goals in 62 apps 😂

He is definitely a more talented player. There's no question about it.

He hasn't achieved as much granted, but that isn't what I'm saying.

Yeah they certainly had the last laugh the way the bigged up Joe Cole.

If the snake hasn’t got his dream move to Yanited and has to remain - even for the next few months - it hopefully puts the kybosh on this one. A very small win in a monumentally shit summer.

Assume we were only going to pay 80 per cent of this prat’s wages on the proviso Emi was out the door.

I'm sire I read somewhere the two things were not / aren't linked at all.
