The Sancho is overrated thread

Once again warming the bench.

With OGS desperation of going to 352 which is the default formation for a manager who hasn't got a clue how to fix his defence so i'll play 7 defensive players is bad news for Sancho.

Sancho hasn't got a chance of starting even more now, he can't play wingback and the #10 role will be Bruno's, and he certainly cannot play as a striker, which leaves him on the bench until OGS is no longer there, OGS's last throw of the dice playing that negative formation.

How much is his salary?

How much is his salary?

£350k a week was being reported, other sources say £175k- £250k a week.

Their wage bill is 3rd highest in World football now.

Bit our of the range i usually pay my cleaners.

He'll have to stay at United.

Won't be long until yours overtakes them with that Salah contract

This move has convinced me that the German league absolutely is a farmer's league.

What happened to this lad?

United is £60 million above PSG and £65 million above City in 5th.

No sources or anything, and it's not like you'd have any reason to be bias against Dem Oil Clubs lad, is it?

Why they bought a winger instead of a midfielder is bizarre

Interesting take by Jonathan Wilson in the Guardian. Suggests City should have signed Sancho and Utd should have signed Grealish. The idea being that Sancho is a player who needs, and works well within a structured set up such as City's. Whereas Grealish, more of an individualist, could flourish at rudderless* Utd.

Not sure but he might have a point.

Was definitely an interesting article and seemed plausible to me. I think we're at the point where none of Utd's attackers are playing that brilliantly at the moment though.

Yeah, I read that same piece and the part for me that stood out was in relation to United not knowing how to press and win the ball back higher up the pitch.

Sancho thrived under Favre for exactly that reason and would do the same with City. It's a pretty damning verdict on Solskjaer and United though. They are going to regret passing on Conte.

Rich man's Demarai Gray.

They're all being shoe-horned to facilitate Ronaldo, who isn't playing great himself. Look at the stats of Bruno Fernandes before Cristiano arrived and after.
