Probably doesn’t want another situation where it takes a player months to get up to speed with the pace and physicality of this league. “It’s easy to say we need another offensive player but I think we have offensive players that need to recover. “Now, if you bring a player who is maybe not fit or needs to adapt to the Premier League, maybe you are going to spend the same time that you need to wait for Broja or for Nkunku or for Carney, and then you are going to create a mess in the squad.” So he wants someone that will immediately slot into the lineup without needing time to get fit or adapt to the league at all. That probably means a PL or ex-PL player or someone that looks tailor made for the league. That said, Poch asked for experience in midfield and got handed a 19 year old and a 21 year old for huge money. So maybe it is better not to read too much into it and someone like Barcola is just as likely as anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lluubbeenn 185 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 There has been some noise around Sancho. Only random accounts report it, but exchanging Cucu for Sancho on loans may be a decent stopgap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhsc 1,109 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) I suppose there's also Jadon Sancho who has the Joe Shields link... I'm not immediately keen, but not very familiar with how he has flopped so hard at Utd. Edit: Just now, lluubbeenn said: There has been some noise around Sancho.

He is still youngish (25) but also experienced enough although Palace is one thing, Chelsea is another. Whether or not he can do what he did for Palace last year for us is the question but his age, experience in terms of games played and profile is what we should be looking for. Doubt Palace entertain the sale of Eze this late in the window....unless it's a massive offer. Surely if Eze was the target, we wouldn't have gone after Olise with some secret release clause and pissed them off. OneMoSalah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s good at long shots where we are generally not great, and in general just the sort of profile you could totally imagine slotting in immediately. He’s also a little older (close to his prime) which Poch has been asking for. Seriously doubt we're dealing with Palace again this summer after the Olise debacle Reddish-Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he can challenge Caicedo/Lavia if either slip up Before this Forest move, Porto was looking at him. A good loan could skyrocket his value too I just don't get why the club would choose Forest as his loan destination...surely a deal in Portugal would have made more sense considering South American kids tend to do well over there.

lluubbeenn 185 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Can someone explain the loan rules? As I understand the rules we can loan out 7 players. Players who are u21 AND club trained do not count. So currently we have - Fofana, Angelo, Slonina, Kepa and Ziyech. Lukaku is on the brink of taking spot number 6. And I guess we will need number 7 for Washington. Do senior players within the federation (Prem and Championship) count? And as I understand it we cant loan out Sarr or any other senior player to Strasbourg other than Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like he was meant to be a winger/forward but now they got Ten Hag's favourite Brazilian for 100 million and there's no way he's going to displace Rashford on the left. Even watching a bit of them in pre-season, he was playing in more of a free #10 role for them, getting into decent positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domestic loans don't count in the loan quotas. With Lukaku most likely taking one spot we'll only have one left and it will go to either Ugochukwu or Washington. And there is an argument that a successful PL loan would do Santos much more good than anything he could achieve in Portugal. If the idea remains to eventually have him playing for us, getting him some PL experience beforehand could turn out very useful. And even if he's not going to be a Chelsea player in the long run, just having him play in the PL will definitely raise his value for a potential sale down the line. As long as he gets regular minutes for Forest it will be a good loan deal. And if he's not good enough to play regularly for Forest he wouldn't be good enough for a top Portuguese club either.

Mhsc 1,109 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) Jadon's on £375k pw is he LOL. Jesus - forgot Man Utd have absolutely 0 brains. Would have to go down to <£200k pw (same or less than Nkunku as a hard rule) to be worth even considering. He's a Blue so I'm sure fans would get behind him. Various interesting options the more you think about it tbh. Curious what the club will cook up here. Edited August 28, 2023 by Mhsc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is like Timo but slightly more limited as Timo had better spacial awareness. Without miles of space to run into, Sancho is very limited. Personally, I would steer clear of him.
