Jadon Sancho (confirmed loan signing)

[django]

His highlights reel from last season is surprisingly good.

[Somniloquism]

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?

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

Rumour was a swap deal for emi

Everything yesterday was that we take him on loan but the loan fee would be covered from the Emi fee. I definitely didn't read anything he was anymore then a loan signing with a purchase next year maybe.

Well that last bit is definitely not true, if we want to keep him it'll just be a case of offering him a contract because this is his Man U contract is up next summer.

ManU have the option to extend his contract a year, reportedly.

Yeah, there would have been no sense for anyone (apart from Man Utd) in making this a permanent thing now.

He might as well keep his options as open as possible for next summer and based on the last few years we'd be silly to commit to anything more than a year so we can test where he.

If he's better than most peope expect of him, then I imagine we'll be happy to keep him and he'll decide whether us or Dortmund is where his future lies. If he's not, I guess he heads back to Germany, somewhere not as good as Dortmund.

Or ManU take up the extension option.

I read somewhere that Chelsea were actually happy to sign him on a perm but couldn't agree terms with him after his loan period ended. Not sure how true that is, could they have been more than £5m apart (the penalty fee Chelsea had to pay ManUre for sending him back) ?

It's hard to see the circumstances under which they'd want to though, surely?

If he scores 30 goals for us, then perhaps they do it in the hope of extracting a small transfer fee rather than letting him just pick and choose. Or if they sack Amorim and bring in whoever the Dortmund manager who got the best out of him. Beyond that though...

Anywhere on the quality spectrum of "really bad" all the way up to "good, much better than expected", they're unlikely to want to sign up for another 12 months of £250,000 per week when they've spent most of the last three years trying to get rid of him.

[cdbearsfan]

They've clearly kept the extension option in the hope of extracting a fee if he does well.  If he wins Villa Player of the Year they'll probably negotiate a transfer fee with us and extend his contract at the same time. Even if he does sort of okay, they might think that he's worth retaining as they'll make more in a subsequent loan fee than they will pay out in wages even if nobody pays 100% of his salary.

[PeterWithesShin]

If we want him and he wants to come they may take up the option, charge us say 20m which we're prepared to pay and they get gree money. If no one wants him then unless they think they'll make more in loan fees than his wages then they are highly unlikely to extend it. A lot depends on how he does, but we can't dismiss it as a potential option that will happen.

[Luffbralion]

Just remember folks that as soon as players get out of the toxic atmosphere that is Old Trafford they immediately improve or, at least, recover their form....Rashford, McTominay and even Antony as recent evidence. And wasn't that the case with that Irish centre half we picked up from them in 1989?

[PeterWithesShin]

Put it this way, it's us in their situation. The player we sent on loan does well and that club want to sign him. Do you want us to say cheerio and get nothing, or work on an agreement where we extend the contract and they get the player a decent amount cheaper than market value and we get some free money?
