He just doesn’t. Based on one awful team display that I could be arsed to watch today, he’s nowhere near the level we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is very little out there of his type that will go for less than £40 million. Truth is we are not in that market . They want £80 million for Sancho!

We need to look harder. My personal opinion is this guy doesn’t have the raw ingredients. But where TF did the Sancho reference come from? Talk about taking a sledgehammer to a nut! 😳 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho is the gold standard , although he is no Neymar , Pereira is a solid player and at 20 million or so he is a big improvement on what we have. Mahrez is an absolute outlier , that won't happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that is what we would want. Then again, Mahrez was never that great in that respect either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put in a real shift in the semi. Edited 16 May 2021 by Sly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 16 May 2021 Share Posted 16 May 2021 (edited) Was lazy tracking back from what I saw today. 1-all with about 2 minutes to go, he allowed Shakiri just to waltz away from him and stopped chasing instead of haring after him. Edited 16 May 2021 by Cadno'r Cymoedd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sancho is the gold standard than its value must have plummeted!  He’s barely doing anything noteworthy for England and the Bundesliga defences are notoriously leaky - Werner, Havertz, Jovic et al have been flattered. Sancho won’t get anywhere near the same numbers in the Prem as he gets in Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert09 Posted 20 May 2021 Share Posted 20 May 2021 (edited) He genuinely shoots from corners.

Tbf I was just kidding I don’t think he actually is intending to score from it. It’s just a dangerous area to whip the ball in. If your attacker doesn’t get a head to it, the keeper is still going to have to deal with it.  Either way, I’m sure it is something big Sam is telling him to do. Rather than him just going rogue. The fact he has the technical ability to do it, now that’s impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted 20 May 2021 Share Posted 20 May 2021 Greaves often deliberately bent it in towards the far post. If the keeper moved back to cover it, he put it on Gilzean's head. Ah but then he was a genius. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
