300k a week is your classic Ed Woodward master class…and this is after spending a fortune on him to.I was hesitant about Sancho even when he was Dortmund. He failed to impress me over the full 90mins every time and just reminded me of a highlight reel player who would turn it on against tired legs or **** poor budesliga defending. He didn't give me that outstanding factor that you could see would translate to other leagues. Other contributing factors such as the company he keeps, including the insane wages yous lot put him from the jump didn't help. The kid lacks the mental edge and I genuinely don't think he was even that good to warrant the hype.
I do agree with you that he often coasted through games at Dortmund and perhaps he’s not mentally robust enough but i disagree that he didn’t warrant the hype. Watching him a lot in Germany, his best attribute was his calmness on the ball when he’s in or around the box which makes me think he’d fit a possession oriented side more. The assist to Martial’s goal the other week is a perfect representation of that calmness. The same calmness could be an Achilles heel as we’ve seen.
