Jadon Sancho (loan)

Williams would bully both of them.

I don't how, as intimidating as Charles Hawtry, looks like he should a bloody Blue Peter presenter.

He's strong and quick, that will do for our two players. Despite Cash's uncanny ability to consistently hit the first defender when in the box, I think we need to release him more tonight than Digne on the far side. See what MGW and Williams are like running backwards.

Bailey ahead of Sancho every time. At least he cares.

Yep

[eamonn]

Cash crosses better with his left foot! He's certainly assisted a few with it.

BBC kids presenters don’t have the best rep to be fair

Strange one isn't it.

Nice when Digne went to give him the trophy, and he shook his head and pointed to get him to give it Ty instead.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

That surprises me as for the following 24 hours he was front and centre to all the celebrations, he obviously loves a party and having his photograph taken.

Thanks for being here, we wish you well

Seeing increasing chatter on social media that we're trying to keep him and sign him on a free?  I get the appeal of the 'free' bit, but surely his wage demands will be a problem?

I would hope to see us sign a more impactful wide player this summer, but if Bailey is going, I'm not averse to Sancho staying for continuity's sake, especially if his wage demands aren't stupid.

[cdbearsfan]

I think he had his moments, but not enough to justify a permanent signing and I would rather look elsewhere.

[Steve67]

He's been rubbish.  An odd five minutes here and there is no justification to sign him, even on a free.  I don't doubt Unai at all and if he signs Sancho, I will back him in the hope that he needs to be loved and will get better, but, he's not done anything to earn being at Villa next season.

Only if he expects to be  the same as he was at Manure, which I think he even would acknowledge he isn't going to get here or in Germany. But I agree with CD that I don't think he really showed enough over the season to want to keep him on footballing ability.

[PaulWinch again]

I’m not convinced, but if his wages are sensible and Unai can see something there’s probably some logic on a free.

[PaulWinch again]

At the very least he seems well integrated in the squad and there’s talent there to unlock.

I see the appeal for Emery. I wouldn't see the appeal for David Moyes, which is why Man United hate him. They played counter attacking hard running wingers for years. That ain't Sancho. He's a very good link player. An inverted winger who needs footballers close to him.

I bet Rogers loves him, as he can just give it and get it back in a more dangerous position. No one's as good at that as Sancho. Can Emery unlock the extra 10% that would make him top level? Yeah, maybe. I'd gamble.
