      I disagree. He hasn’t lived up to his price tag but the guy has been a very strong squad member contributing goals and assists, while also working really hard off the ball. He’s had a disappointing time at Spurs marred by consistent injuries, no denying that, but I think the squad is stronger with him in it going forward than trying to replace him with some unknown quantity

    Dont even blame Sancho, id hate being benched or not even in the squad and watching ETH unconditionally start Rashford every game. People banter Hojlund for not scoring in the PL when he has 5 goals in the CL and Rashford has 1 in all competitions, that is hilarious to me

      He is benched for being late to training, and other disciplinary issues. Nothing to do with his performance on the pitch.

      Sancho has been far worse than both of them when he has played though. Goals isn’t everything. Even if goals were everything, sancho has only mustered 9 goals in 59 games. In the same time period rashford have scored 36 in 104.

      Hojlund have 5 in 15.

      Rashford scores in 34.6% of his games, Hojlund scores in 33% of his games and sancho comes in at a whooping 15.2% of his games. Playing sancho would be the hilarious option mate.

      Sancho’s problems are dating back to his City days. Apparently he couldn’t be bothered to be on time back then, a reason why City moved him on.

      Same issues with Dortmund.

      It’s been reported that Ten Hag had to tell him that meetings start earlier than they did, in the hope that he might be on time.

      Not sure if he played a full 90 as a United player so far, and whenever he started he looks gased after about an hour. While not even giving his all for that hour.

      If he trains the same way + constantly late, there is no reason he should see more gametime.

    FA should impose charges/export tariffs on premiership players sold to saudi arabia and distribute the oil money to lower league :)

    I can see Sancho wanting the move if reports about his work ethic are to be believed. Richarlison I’m not so sure, he seems quite proud and while things haven’t worked out at Spurs he was getting 10-15 G/A regularly at Everton, and I’d imagine he values playing for Brazil quite highly so why completely throw that away at 26?

    How they both shoot it down. I know Sancho hasn’t worked out, but we all saw how good he could be at Dortmund. I hope he goes somewhere and finds that form again.

      Same honestly. He was one of my favourite non-united player before he joined us. At this point i just want him to do well and get out of this rut, even if it’s for someone else.

      I hope he goes somewhere

      as long as he goes somewhere and we don`t have to pay him a dime, I don`t really care where his lazy ass goes to

      Yes. But be careful, if those players are shipped back to ManCheaty or Newcastle it might be a cheat to avoid FFP

        You’re so deluded that you think city would let either of these players be training cones for them?
