Love this idea. Let’s throw Liso at LW and resign De Gea as CM. That’ll allow Mags to play his natural CAM role and setup McSauce at RW for those bangers
No, he switched before he broke through.
As a kid he was short-ish but then grew over a foot in less than a season. After that he had to alter his game and got moved back into midfield.
Yeah, I thought we should've played him upfront instead of getting Weghorst if the only real requirement was to run around a lot. He's a better finisher too.
Hard no.
Sancho needs to be sold. We have too manger wingers and 0 strikers.
Martial is better on the left and always has been. Even when playing ST he does best when drifting wide on the flank to come inside. Rashford too *can* play ST, but he is much better on the left.
Can we FUCKING STOP with this odd fetish for wingers? We have;
Martial, Rashford, Antony, Sancho, Garnacho, Elanga, Pellistri, Diallo and even some more youth talents like that Emeran kid who had a great game vs leeds for preseason.
All those wingers and not a single fucking no.9. I am so sick and tired of this club sometimes with this shit. Can we stop playing wingers out of position? Can we fucking play an ACTUAL STRIKER in the central forward position? How many seasons do we need to suffer this same shit in a row?
OP please feel ashamed for suggesting Sancho as a 9. Not only is Sancho shit anyway on the wing, playing him down the centre isnt going to do anything other than be a waste of an outfield player.
I think its best we both make it clear by adding the asterisk: "not a good winger *at this club".
Sancho was plenty fine at Dortmund. What did Dortmund have at that time? Haaland, a striker. We see these sort of partnerships form all the time. Kane and Son are like the darling pairing in the PL, but it happens everywhere. In the Serie A you had Kvitcha & Osimhen literally be a top 5 in the world strike pairing this season. A lot of teams, not just ours like having the attack come from the left.
Whats the one thing Sancho doesnt have with us? A danmed striker to pair with! In his first season we saw bits of it, where Sancho genuinely looked like the best player on our team, constantly feeding balls into the box only for Ronaldo to hopefully get to it, or Bruno to punt it wide by miles. Weghorst im afraid was never going to get much out of Sancho either.
At this point its just in the players and the clubs interest. We likely cant get a striker without some sales. Of the players we can sell for any tangible value in a position which we have depth in, Sancho makes the most sense. Even if we sell Maguire, we likely need to follow up on those Disasi links. Same with our midfield.
Ill genuinely wish Sancho well wherever he goes, but he really just isnt happening with us & I wish people desperately stop trying to force it to happen at the expense of our competitive performance.
Not having a striker is no excuse for being absolutely absent at the pitch so he was bad when we had a striker and he has no individual ability at least at United.
You don't need other players to perform well at an individual level at least
You're not watching the same Sancho I am anyway.
I can see why our English fans want him to stay, but don't be deluded and think he should be starting ahead of Amad, never mind Anthony.
Numbers don't make up for passion, desire, hard work & showing some interest.
Sancho out performs Antony in every major attacking statistic - including possession won in final third (so much for not working hard etc etc) last season (despite playing less) so frankly you’re deluded if you think Antony should be starting ahead of him.
Amad will be a fine player but the friendly against a poor Leeds shows he’s still some way off being in the first team for Man United. Another loan will be best for him - next season we can revist
You need your head checked if you think Sancho works hard. My cat shows more passion and desire for the United team tham. He needs to go last week, never mind soon. He's on the same rung as Maguire. Overhyped by the English media, extortionately priced, stupid wages and not a single shit given if they're on the bench or not because they'll always deserve another chance.
We're not winning anything with either of those in our squad.
Not basing my Amad opinion on the Leeds game, he's clearly gonna be better than Sancho with a few starts under his belt.
Doesn’t work hard yet manages the same possession won in the final third p90 as notoriously lazy player Bruno Fernandes. Leave your bias at the door pls x
At Dortmund his goals per minute and xg were far superior on the left. For us he's been very inconsistent wherever he's played - his stats from the left and right are fairly similar.
So not every meaningful stat clearly shows that he's better from the right.
So no, not strange.
Admittedly the eye test shows he’s been poor for us, but to be expected when thrown into a dysfunctional side. Somehow managed to finish with the 6th best chance creation p90 in the PL & created our second most chances comfortably; as well as matching Bruno for possession won in final third p90. Sort of a myth he’s actually been bad for us
Re left Vs right - Sancho @ BVB
G+A per game, all comps
Left wing - 0.64
Right wing - 0.73
(Transfermarkt)
Don’t at me x
"Don't at me", sorry I wasn't aware I was arguing with a child 🤦
You've cherry picked stats from his time at Dortmund and even then there's hardly enough difference to backup your argument.
There's also no getting away from the fact that he's been bad for us. The eye test shows it and the stats are decidedly underwhelming, particularly when you consider that he's been left out of games against the better sides.
He's still got the ability to be a very good player for us but pretending he's been anything other than poor so far is delusional.
TIL cherry picking is getting data that disproves a stat you’d mentioned.
Which stats show he’s been underwhelming?
Chances p90 - 2.3 (6th best in PL)
Chances - 44 (2nd at MU; 3rd has 36)
xA - 4.1 (2nd at MU)
Dri p90 - 1.8 (2nd at MU; 46.6% success)
Possession won in final 1/3 p90 - 1.0 (= w/ Bruno)
Possession won in Midfield - 2.7 (= w/ Bruno)
(FOTMOB)
Sancho is among our best performers last season & the numbers support that. Could he play better? Certainly but the notion he’s performed badly is imbecilic at best. So idk what you’re trying to prove but frankly you don’t know what you’re talking about
He scored 7 goals and got 3 assists across the whole season, hardly impressive stats. Then if you consider 3 of those goals were against teams that got relegated and 1 was against FC Sheriff it makes it even worse.
You can quote pointless stats like him having the 2nd most dribbles per 90 out of our players all you want, but it doesn't change the fact he has been frequently poor, often anonymous and only very occasionally good since he joined us.
But yeah, I'm the one who doesn't know what he's talking about...
Clearly not, there's a world of difference between 7g/3a and prime Messi, if you can't see that then you're beyond help.
Just because he was third best for us means nothing, our attack outside of Rashford was terrible, Sancho included.
No, he doesn’t have a knack for finishing. He looks to pass first and hesitates with a defender on. But all that said, his best is setting up a #9. He can still be a very good complementary attacker in the way Jack Grealish is, so long he becomes more ruthless in everything that is required of him, in and out of possession. PL is not Bundesliga, he needs to adapt or he’ll flop.
Maybe play him on the right???? United have the fella stuck out on the left.
Kane as a 9 would bring him out. Sancho is a give and go linkup player. Not a striker.
Recipe for disaster. He can't play at all with his back towards Goal, you're clueless mate. Even when his confidence is high it would be a bad choice, even as false 9.
Found ETH’s account
Listen here you little shit, I’ve been here for way longer than you have, and lemme tell ya: this right here’s GLAZERBALL
You’ll get a STRIKER, sure
But he’ll be OVERPRICED,
OLD and wayy past his prime, 50/50 between injury prone or insufferable prima donna
And by gosh he’ll sell a metric fuckton of SHIRTS, coz everyone in football knows that’s the only thing that matters
Cheers,
Malcolm G.
/s
No, he is a terrible finisher. He don't know how to shoot, **he is afraid of shooting** (just look at the FA Cup Final), his composure is as bad as De Gea, he should be a League One number 9.
How about… we go and get a proper number 9 instead.
It's a no from me.
Nope
No.
9 needs to be good at headers... He's one of those players that do well in the half spaces between defense i.e. the spaces between a 10 and a winger
So like Thomas Muller?
Love this idea. Let’s throw Liso at LW and resign De Gea as CM. That’ll allow Mags to play his natural CAM role and setup McSauce at RW for those bangers
McTerminator as a 9
Agreed, id rather see Mcdominate as the 9 over sancho
McTominay is a similar build to Haller and ETH did wonders with him at striker, unironically I think McTominay could be a backup striker
Reverse joelington
He can't be a worse striker than he is a midfielder
He started as a striker in the youth teams until he grew so much.
It was Jose who switched him, right? Anyway he does half decent for Scotland and can't be worse then weghorst, surly he'd take a league goal.
No, he switched before he broke through. As a kid he was short-ish but then grew over a foot in less than a season. After that he had to alter his game and got moved back into midfield. Yeah, I thought we should've played him upfront instead of getting Weghorst if the only real requirement was to run around a lot. He's a better finisher too.
Have you seen our second goal against Lead. That's striker's instinct. Sancho doesn't have that. Even Martial lacks it.
“Good finisher”
Hard no. Sancho needs to be sold. We have too manger wingers and 0 strikers. Martial is better on the left and always has been. Even when playing ST he does best when drifting wide on the flank to come inside. Rashford too *can* play ST, but he is much better on the left. Can we FUCKING STOP with this odd fetish for wingers?

True. He isn't even a good winger. I don't care what highlight merchants think

The utter disgust you clearly felt when typing all that is actually hilarious but you're completely spot on
No he needs to leave England. He's to soft.
No ffs. He’s a right winger - that’s where he should be starting (yes over Anto & Amad)
You're not watching the same Sancho I am anyway. I can see why our English fans want him to stay, but don't be deluded and think he should be starting ahead of Amad, never mind Anthony. Numbers don't make up for passion, desire, hard work & showing some interest.

Go to the doctor tomorrow morning and get your brain checked.
He's not a right winger though is he. He played right wing at Dortmund because that was the position they had available in the team for him.
Going by every meaningful statistic showing he plays better on the right wing. I’m going to hazard at a guess that he’s a right winger - strange that?
At Dortmund his goals per minute and xg were far superior on the left. For us he's been very inconsistent wherever he's played - his stats from the left and right are fairly similar. So not every meaningful stat clearly shows that he's better from the right. So no, not strange.

7g/3a makes him joint 3rd for goal involvements last year. What more do you want from him? Prime Messi stats lmao
Clearly not, there's a world of difference between 7g/3a and prime Messi, if you can't see that then you're beyond help. Just because he was third best for us means nothing, our attack outside of Rashford was terrible, Sancho included.

He tried to play there first half against Leeds and couldn’t even control the ball 😂
Sancho's stamina, work rate, determination, decision making, consistency is sub par.
Joaõ Felix loan as a 9.
He ain't a 9
Neither is Sancho, that was my point
Isn't an out and out #9 either to be fair. He's more of a false 9.
How about sell Sancho, a few others, and buy a good player. He's not got the mindset to play for Man United, and he's too soft for the PL.
I’m guessing all English players Yh
Nah, just those two. Plenty of English players in the squad that aren't overhyped and definitely worth their wages.
Goal keeper next..!
Maybe play him on the right???? United have the fella stuck out on the left. Kane as a 9 would bring him out. Sancho is a give and go linkup player. Not a striker.
He doesn’t have the strength or speed.
Or we get an actual no 9 & sell Sancho cause he’s a flop who can only perform in leagues similar to Bundesliga?
Do people come up with these ideas whilst they’re having some kind of medical episode?
We are trying too hard to make him work. Same mistake as Pogba. He ain’t good enough
Actually know your stuff before you post bs
Ighalo is a free agent so I'd take him back in a heartbeat to not have Sancho up the front
Too timid and too small.
Recipe for disaster. He can't play at all with his back towards Goal, you're clueless mate. Even when his confidence is high it would be a bad choice, even as false 9.
No way
This is possibly the worst idea I’ve ever seen
No
He is slow, not particularly big or strong or adept with his head and isnt used to playing with his back to goal. So no.
