Jadon Sancho (loan)

Drummond, I just did the same and last 15 minutes have totally changed my stance on Sancho. I thought he was superb and made a big difference to our total domination of Chelsea. if he carries on this way for the second half of the season whenever Unai decides to start/bring him on we will be a much better attacking force.

I've just rewatched the 2nd half and he didn't really do much. There's no doubt a player in there but he'd need a big reduction in wages.

If he gets to the sort of place where he's an important part of the squad, then an equivalent player is costing us £30m+ and £100,000pw in wages.

So *if* the management is happy with him, then bunging him £10m of that and £150,000pw is just fine.

If you haven’t done so already, it’s worth watching the last bit of the Arsenal game to see a similar contribution.

Lots more of that please.

Looks good when he can be arsed, but that's the problem for me. Inconsistent.

[Dante Lavelli]

He needs to do something special and have an immaculate attitude to justify his likely wages in the summer. The risk is we give him £200k/week and then have a queue of X players at the door demanding the same.

[Baldy]

Unai knew Guessand might be called up for Afcon and over last number of weeks has probably had Sancho training/learning the Bailey/Guessand role. Unai thinks of everything.

At the first time of asking Sancho impressed in that role but needs to impress on a regular basis. With him and Watkins firing on all cylinders it could be like 2 new signings in January!!

Only a feeling but the way Sancho celebrated both goals and at the end of the match, made him look more like 'one of the lads' instead of a blow in. That can only be good. If he does play well though he has to accept a lower wage to get a permanent contract.

Fab reckons Manure won’t be triggering his extension at the end of the season. Probably a moveable feast if he tears it up for us for the rest of the season though.

Was there ever any suggestion that they would have?

[Smirker]

He won't get a better offer than us so he would accept a lower wage imo.

I hope we take him permanently.

No, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it by a supposedly credible source. Like they’ve let it be known or something. As I say, there could be a possibility they might change their mind if he suddenly becomes coveted by playing well.

I would want to see a lot more of him before we offered him
anything

...and a lot more performances like Saturday night's.
