Jadon Sancho

So guess our main priority, which is a CF, or our second priority which is a MF player to back up/compete with Kante, will be painfully neglected unless we get Aguero on a free and source up some bargain in the MF department? 

Amazing.

On second thoughts for MF would anyone take Soucek? Remember being impressed by him against us in the EL a few seasons ago with his ability to get in to the box and cause trouble but didn’t expect him to be such a dominant midfielder in the PL. Not the worlds most progressive passer and doubt Tuchel would go for him but his sort of presence in midfield would be handy.

How come Sancho is the hot topic again? He went under radar for a while and now it seems like everyone is all over him again. Agent's job, media clickbait or is he actually good again?

Anyone remembers the Leon Bailey hype back then, lol?

Sancho has been good in the 2nd half of this season. You can't compare Bailey with Sancho, the first is more like 1 season wonder and the later has proven to be very good in the last 3 year.

Oops! Forgot about James. Possibly because I rate him less than the others.

And AC. Everyone seems to forget he is an academy boy.

Think the reason people forgot or don't consider him as one is because we bought him from Brondby when he was already 16 years old. He had only one year in the academy before being promoted to the first team and then loaned out. Didn't come through the ranks like Mount, James, Abraham, CHO etc from like 8 years old or something.

Yeah, but that is similar to Ampadu who is considered one.

Is it? Doesn't mean they are right though. Or I guess it depends on one's definition of "coming through the academy".

True. I think it is mainly to do with Amapdu being British/Welsh, rather than Denmark.

Hot take Sancho would be a better fit for this team than Haaland

Havertz can play as false nine 
Sancho has speed, ability and energy that fits this Chelsea team 
Sancho already knows some of this Chelsea team 
Sancho loves the club
Liverpool and Manchester City have shown you don’t need a out and out striker to be successful.

Just scored a double against Leipzig.

[Blues Forever 1,232]

Another double from Sancho in DFB Pokal final. 

[NikkiCFC 7,565]

That is another season with almost 20 goals and 20 assists. Plus limited minutes, was injured a lot. He delivers consistently in the final 3rd and this is what we need.

We got Mickey Mouse Ziyech who cares about Sancho.

[Special Juan 27,093]

Ziyech is laughable, absolute shit can of a footballer.

Can Sun get something right for once.

I read that Tuchel is a big admirer of Sancho, hope we go for him and bin Mickey asap.

Can see why no other top clubs were interested in him. Number one on my list to sell this summer!

As for Sancho? 

If we're going to make a big transfer,  then I'd  much rather we put in a bid for Grealish. Unlike Sancho, he's a proven, top quality  Premiership player and exactly the kind of player we could do with in midfield, which is a player who can do some damage with the football.

Offer them Kovacic, Ziyech + cash or. Tammy if he wants to leave.

 

[MoroccanBlue 5,194]

You want to give them Kovacic? 🤨

Yep!

Over the next two summer windows I'd move on Kovacic and Jorgi. Don't care which one goes first though.
