I highly doubt there is any truth in this rumor...

One of those players, undoubtedly talented - but also seemingly a complete waste between the ears.

On his day, great dribbler, creative beast, passing/carries etc - goals....

And yet, how often is it "his day"?

Feels like one of those we've seen before, huge talent, never realised, that ends up moving from club to club looking to find somewhere to unlock what they can offer....

Sancho with his head right, motivated, playing for the team - most welcome here IMO - but what are the chances of us finding that Sancho?

Depends on the coach, I would say...

If we give United a leg up by helping relieve them of one of the albatrosses around their neck and waste our summer money on players we have seen are not good enough in the PL I'm gonna be pretty pissed off tbh. If these players are being forced out by United who finished 15th and only 4 points clear of us, why are they good enough for us? Why the fuck does anyone want Sancho or Garnacho who will act like they're doing us a big favour to come here, even though neither has proven anything in the PL?

Perhaps, its variable by player - he just strikes me as "one of those" - ultimately,likely to be one who looks back and thinks of what could have been

I know what you mean, but I’m not sure how much he will look back and think of what could have been, he has won the German cup, the league cup, the conference league the U17 World Cup and been a CL runner up and got a 5 year deal at United on £300k a week, whilst playing for United, Dortmund and Chelsea.

He is only 25, Kane and Son had won nothing at that age.

I’m not sure he is capable of more either, I think he has fulfilled his potential, it’s just he was never as good as people thought.

Utd are set to play a VERY specific system. One the squad isnt suited to - so just because a player isnt right for them, it doesnt mean they wont be worth buying for someone else.

If we got Sancho (as an example, or even Garnacho) on the relative cheap from them, and they then stepped up and showed their potential - Id think that was brilliant (and hilarious)

Consequently if we just ended up buying a lemon Id be real pissed off about it

But the whole "not good enough for X" thing never really rings true to me, so many factors in why a player does/doesnt work at one club vs another

Entirely possible, time will tell.

Id say whoever goes for him, given his form since leaving Dortmund, is taking a big gamble
 
This page has deteriorated into a bunch of people wish listing who they would like to sign.

From what I can gather there is no concrete interest in anyone right now.

And the Frank appointment suggests we are largely going to work with and improve what we have.

May as well close the thread tbh

My bad, didnt realise there were 2 separate incidents thought the brawl thing was tied to when Kim unfollowed Son on social media but appears it was over some comments in an interview rather than a fight.

Sancho was bought for Ole, hes been a dud for 3 different United managers and systems. Garnacho not so much but hes pure potential atm, end product very much lacking and see no point funding a direct rival for that.
