Jadon Sancho - Welcome.

[Felwin]

Ha great. Well if he’s fucking up his last chance then it’s game over. Another “30m for any other team” player we paid a premium on.

What happened to giving players a chance Felwin?

Was wondering when you'd pipe up with this. I specifically said in the summer he deserves one more chance due to the mess that his first 2 seasons were. If he's ballsing it up then I'm with the rest of you.

I wish it was as simple as tossing out players and buying new ones like when you're playing football manager, but it isn't.

The club’s strange refusal to hire proper director of football type people just seems to hurt us more and more, and more publicly, every year.

Murtough and Fletcher are DoFs.
We do have them.

I think Dozer is actually Todd Boehley; wildly buy shitloads of random players you think are good cos you know more about football than anyone else, give em a year then get rid and get a load more in - and repeat

It doesn't work, as you can see with Chelsea

[Fuck the Glazers]

Player v manager is interesting. Normally clubs back the player cos managers are easier to sack. But Hag has a lot of credit still although questions are beginning to be asked of him.

I think Sancho leaves. In a year's time, of we're still tragically wank, it might be the other way around.

Nah. Chelsea are a bad example. We don't need that many players.
It's very easy to get rid of players. Remember, we're only getting rid of the crap and we're not buying that many more than we did this season, unlike Chelsea
We only need 8 new players if we boot out all 17. I'd mentioned this in good detail in the transfer thread.
We got in 7 this season so it's more about booting players out. Even your Chelsea did a good job selling players.

It's very easy to get rid of players.... so long as you can find a buyer and the player isn't a cock about it a la Maguire

[bman2]

Sancho is probably unsellable. His value would be next to nothing and he’s supposedly being paid something like £300K a week by United.

[JoelfuckingGlazer]

Hopefully Saudi will throw silly money at it and solve the problem for us.

You're living in dreamland thinking we can offload 17 and only bring in 8. Unless all 8 are first team ready - so an outlay of at least £500m (£600-700m with United prices) - then you're probably relying on lots of youth to plug gaps when injuries happen. A big risk when we're not talking a class of 92 style generation.

As for the 7 we got in this season. 1 is a backup GK, 2 are emergency loans and 1 is Johnny Evans (love that he's back but he shouldn't be a first teamer). So that's 3 signings for the first team. And you want 8 in one window and have explicitly said you'd prefer the Glazers to stay. Make your bloody mind up. Your plan requires Boehly style state investment and competence with sales because you won't raise £500m with those 17 outgoings - you'd be lucky to get £100m.

Anyway don't want to get off topic. Sancho looks to be done and tbf with Pellistri, Garnacho and Diallo now pressuring him for his place, if he's not giving his all then it's time to go. We won't sell him in Jan because we're fucking dense. He might go on loan to Dortmund but we'd pay all his wages. Maybe next summer shift him for £20m to the Bundesliga.
