Jadon Sancho (confirmed loan signing)

[Brazilian Villain]

He looks happy to be here, which is always a good start.

He looks happy.

Should we be worried he didn’t want to sign permanently? Although it does appear that that meant we kept Emi which I’m sure will do wonders for their relationship?

Actually  happy about that.  It would bw a complete waste of money

[Toronto Villa]

Unai needs to get a top that fits better

I doubt we want/were able to do a permanent deal.

Rumour was a swap deal for emi

Agreed

As a casual Dortmund fan as well I loved Sancho and was gutted he went to united. If he can get anywhere near his Dortmund form we have got a great player on our hands.
However I'm not convinced he still has it in him but hope to be proved wrong.

That couldn’t have worked as we would have been short a keeper.

I watched a fair bit of him when he was in his first spell at Dortmund, he was very, very good, but from memory seemed to play in an inside forward sort of area rather than a touchline hugging winger. Like Malen.

Giving me Scott Sinclair vibes.

Swansea-era Sinclair would be fine. Another player who was ruined after being acquired by Man City as a plaything.

Again I’m wondering if this is going to be our approach, especially when teams park the bus, Ollie in the middle with two inside forwards in Sancho and Malen?

Get plenty of assists please.

I think we need someone to play wide, at least until Torres is back in the team and in form. We have been best when we play vertical forward passes. Torres>Kamara>Youri>Rogers then create from there. But like last night, when teams crowd that area and pressurise us when receiving the ball, we lose it or have to go backward as there is no one offering a wide pass option. If we've borrowed Sancho to play where Malen does, that is a questionable use of resource.
