This is a great deal either way you look at it, decent wages once we get him on permanent, decent price, even if he flops we won't risk much. I have big issues with some of the dumb transfers we did this summer but this is one of the rare good ones.

[Thor 2,441]

Low risk, huge reward type play. 
 

What wages did he agree on?

We don't know yet but it was reported he took a big wage cut.

Feels strange to finally see him wearing blue, I was gutted when we lost him years ago, hope he delivers.

[Pizy 18,423]

If he can receive the football, take players on with confidence in 1v1 space, and just create/score even the occasion goal then he’s immediately a significant upgrade on Mudryk. I guess that’s how we have to look at this move for it to make sense.

Neto + Sancho as LW options for the PL. Mudryk can play in the Conference League and Carabao Cup.

for Chelsea, if this means less playing time for mudryk, who I believe will be loaned out in january, it's already a victory for us

I don't think he'll perform any worse than Mudryk and his 6 months at Dortmund give us some hope that he could become an interesting player for us.

it's a good place for sancho. he's still in the premier league, with a young squad with some potential and, above all, at a club where there's a lot of patience and not so much pressure, given that he's not the star and doesn't come from a big transfer.

he's a player who needs to be liked and not feel under pressure, like joao felix

it's the perfect place for him

I believe if enzo is stil the manager next season which I hope he will be, mudryk will be sold, I also believe Noni will be sold as well, but that’s a different story

[ZAPHOD2319 4,520]

Noni is to wild to be sold. 
😅

The full quote

Jadon Sancho on what attracted him to #CFC. "Chelsea is iconic. My idols growing up were Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard and now I have the opportunity to play for this club like them. It’s a great feeling.

"I think it’s the manager who really drew me to the project. I knew him from his time with Pep Guardiola in Manchester City. He spoke to me on the phone about this project and what he was building here, and for a young player like myself it’s exciting and I can’t wait to get started.

"They’re signing me for a reason and to contribute to the team, and I’m ready to do that. I enjoy his style of play. The wingers when they get on the ball, he loves them to go one versus one and be direct. We play a lot of one-twos with the 10s and the striker combination plays. It’s very attractive and it’s a style that I play."

Sancho: "I spoke with Nonzino about life in the Chelsea dressing room and he told me 'If a man's got his shank and you've got your shank, I beg you don't panic'"

a shank is slang for a rigged up knife or something you can stab with

it comes from prison culture

Yes. The joke is, Noni is a thug, and that’s a lyric from one of the most violent London, small local gangs. The line is probably top 3 most repeated online among fans of the culture of it
