Jadon Sancho (loan)

[TelfordVilla]

Well if he can't be arsed to play for £200k per week, he certainly won't be giving his all for a measly £100k per week

[jwarry]

Unai was quite cagey about signing him in yesterday's interview. Said he's beginning to step up and thinks he has huge potential. Will not be surprised if he becomes a key player for us on the run in and we end up signing him

[andyh]

I am sure Unai has worked him out now.
Use these ‘improving performances’ for the last few months of the season and then bomb him out.
Emery is ruthless and will let very good players go in order to improve the team. We have seen him allow far more influential players than Sancho leave the club.

If there is one thing we all know more than anything, it is that Emery demands consistency.
Sancho has only been consistent in the fact he is very, very disappointing and not worthy of the reputation his name seems to carry.

I think you hit the nail on the head, albeit I don’t think you mean it in the same way. He is judged against reputation rather than his performance. He has culpability there - he’s earning what he earns because of how he had performed a long while back. Is he worth £200k + a week now? No chance. But is he playing quite well, and contributing to the team? Yes.

£200k a week.
Almost £6m a year after tax. 
The mind boggles.

Manure as they often do, massively overpaid him and for him. I think it was €85mil.
A reputation built on doing well in an inferior league where the speed and physicality is no where near PL levels.

Likes of Haaland might say different, or Son.

Sancho for me lacks the physical strength to thrive in the PL - Rogers, Grealish, even watching Bowen last night - you can't get the ball off these guys too easily. Sancho has all the technical skills but it speaks to his lack of application off the pitch that he couldn't have got stronger in the gym

[Rigadon]

Agreed Billy.  He’s too lightweight for the PL and doesn’t have mega pace to offset it. Same as Bailey.

[Pete3206]

Over rated, inconsistent and expensive.

Fills a shirt for now but farewell in May.
