Jadon Sancho (loan)

You couldn't describe him as productive, could you?

A panic signing we have to hope we can reverse in January.

Him, Guessand and Elliot as a parting gift from Monchi. Cheers. Thank god we have Unai.

Between the three of them it must be close to £40m in fees and £400k a week in wages… that’s an Asensio sized hole. Or better still a Semenyo.

Semenyo is off to Liverpool or Man City if you believe the rumours.  If those clubs are genuinely interested, then forget it.  Sancho has talent - unlike Guessand, he is definitely good enough to be playing at the highest level - so there’s at least a chance he’ll contribute somehow.

That's the frustration: at a time when we were so financially constrained, we panicked and brought in three expensive lemons. And, I seem to remember Emery's assertion, soon after his arrival, that we would not use the transfer market to 'body-shop'; we'd only bring people who could add value and make a complementary contribution to the overall effort.
Of these 3, only Elliott looked likely to add real value; and he has not been played!
