thevelourfog Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 This isn't a deal I feel at all positive about but given I've said enough elsewhere all I'll say here is ... Christ, those are some shit tattoos for a millionaire to have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleeping Dave Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 As I’ve said elsewhere, a signing that makes no sense at all. What Maresca’s type of winger really is is anyone’s guess - Madueke, Neto, Mudryk, Nkunku and Sancho all being quite different from each other. Not to mention Palmer and Felix. So many attacking midfielders/wingers one wonders how they’ll all get playing time. Signing Sancho is a huge gamble. Is he any better than Sterling? Probably the answer is no. Is he cheaper than Sterling? Again, probably no. Has he a bigger re-sale value than Sterling? Potentially. A lot of work for very little obvious upside, either from a footballing or financial perspective. Still, he’s here and he’ll be wearing the #19 shirt. Good luck Sancho!

Bison Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 A very underwhelming signing and one only being made because #10 is useless. You know things are bad when one of the supposed upsides of this deal is that we can recoup a decent fee from a Saudi club when it fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingThistle Posted Wednesday at 10:29 Share Posted Wednesday at 10:29 Hoping that he doesn't do a Lingard and completely drop off a cliff after moving to London. Agree with the opinion that on his day, Sancho can be marvellous but I feel we're entitled to be wary. Eberechi Eze may have been the more obviously and exciting signing, but let's all hope Sancho gets back to where we have seen his levels can be.

I don't think Palace would have let him go when they'd just let Olise go to Munich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingThistle Posted Wednesday at 11:41 Share Posted Wednesday at 11:41 By all accounts from Steve Parish, no one showed any interest so we'll never know if they would or wouldn't have entertained an approach. Good player. It'll be interesting to see how Sancho fits in with Palmer, Mudryk, Neto, Nkunku, Felix, and Madueke and what that shape looks like in and out of posession. He's hugely direct at his best and historically has a better end product than Mudryk. I'd guess he'll predominantly be an impact player for the season unless he does what Palmer did last year and makes the decision for the manager by becoming undroppable. In which case we then have a snip of a player at £25m obligation to buy. Straight into the squad for Bournemouth? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
