You may not rate him as such but in terms of how he’s viewed to much of the football world he’s a big time player. Top 10 Ballon D’Or finisher, player of the year in Italy, etc.

 

he had one good season in a big league his entire career

What a let down if we get Sancho but not Osimhen.

FFS Sancho is so so average.. fecking hell 

I watched the first leg of the 2017 FA Youth Cup final on TV. Guardiola was watching from a box. Numerous times he turned away in disgust, hands gesticulating all over the place, at what Sancho had just done. He was behind thick glass so there was no audio, but somebody up there with him was getting an earful. I'm convinced that Sancho's City career ended that day.

I was at Stamford Bridge for the second leg. We blew City away 5-1; a scoreline which flattered them. Sancho was a complete non-entity that night, and Phil Foden had little impact. City's star player was Brahim Diaz who I frequently described back then as the best young footballer in Europe. (That I knew of.)

BTW, James, Chalobah, Guehi, Mount, & Hudson-Odoi started for us. Marcin Bulka and Connor Gallagher were unused subs.

Maybe some folks here just got wiser. Same could be said about Lukaku a while ago. There's probably a reason why Napoli want to bin this guy and replace him with the very Lukaku himself. Any sort of performance in leagues like Italy mean nothing. Nothing. And it's not like he is a injury-resistant player in his best form atm.

They are bin-ing him because he wants to leave and they are trying to cash in on him.

[Mário César 975]

He is not coming I guess

Well, his options are leaving to us with a 1/2 pay cut or leaving to U21 team, so not really a hot market here. His contract is valid until 2026, so if he was worth his salary there shouldn't be a problem to pay it, win everything and try again next window for big money I guess.

Basically, nobody knows fucking anything as of right now and they’re just waiting like all of us are.

But the idea of him staying and playing together with Lukaku is hilarious. 

[TheHulk 1,856]

Yeah stay and collect the money, fucking cunt, hope he is banished to the reserves.

[Pizy 18,368]

To chase a striker all summer, know it’s the main thing the side has needed for years, and to end up with only Sancho on loan today would be crazy.

It’ll be good that the club didn’t panic and buy some scrub, but still. A long term injury to Nico Jackson and we’re relying on an 18 year old, super raw Guiu and an array of false 9 experiments.

Have we? It has been a half hearted search at best. Now we're seeing if we can pick up a good deal on deadline day. Club clearly doesn't think it is priority / urgent. Just nice if we can get a good deal.

Yes, I do genuinely think we’ve been planning for a striker this whole time but wanted to leave it late hoping the selling clubs would be pressured to do a deal on our terms. But as we now see that could backfire spectacularly.
