For a country of 365K people, less than the population of Alimosho LG they are punching way above their weight.

Very poor , they will be relegated to National league B next year

Martial on the bench. F..uck you Deschamp.

Off to Portugal game to watch Bruno

raumdeuter:
Werner Ziyech Chillwell have been doing pre season since

That keeper is the most expensive in history

Plus a 100m signing in Harvetz

Lampard has to break that 100point record else na fraud

These players need to GEL

larride:
Players have off days. You don’t judge a player with just a game.

This is not the first off day. Sancho is having in England. Most small teams park the bus against England. I am surprised you can't see that he will struggle to break down teams like that. Sterling was clearly causing problems for them, but Sancho was so anonymous. If he plays these kinds of games for us, it wont be funny ooo.

patrickmuf:
There's Neres in Ajax, Bailey in Leverkusen and I'm sure many other young RWF out there...If Dortmund won't deal and at a fair price, let's bounce.

See Palace regretting why they didn't sell Zaha.

Napoli president is regretting why he didn't sell Koulibaly earlier...

Lyon tried it and failed with Fekir who was finally sold on the cheap...

Let us not spend the whole summer chasing a player who might not even outperform Greenwood in the league...

Someone was telling me that there will be a transfer bidding war next season for Sancho at 150m pounds. Lol. Before any team pays 100m for a player again, that player must really be proven. The ones bought recently were all flops except Mbappe which is not surprising.

Griezmann, Coutinho, Dembele, Hazard, Joe Felix( although young but not worth that amount.).

Napoli are begging Man city to pay 63m euros, man city de do guy. The mentality of buying clubs have changed now. Everyone is careful

Expert17:
We need to clear out those deadwoods.

We are short of targets.

Our scouts are outdated. Same scouts since during Ferguson. The only good players we have signed for a long time are referrals from ex players. Like Bruno and VDB that VDS facilitated.

We signed Vidic for €7m, Evra for €5m VDS in the region of £2m, Park for €5m. All within the 2005/2006 season. Chicharita and Da Silva brothers were bargains too. It's been long we sign these kind of players.

Look at Liverpool, Salah, 39m, Mane 30m, Robertson 8m. Fabinho 34m. That's criminal.

Thorgan Hazard is now benching Eden Hazard. Lol.

Uwa na eme ntughari

Tvegas:
Sancho is not worth £108 million pounds, I repeat Sancho is not worth that amount. Don't value a player by his performance in only Bundesliga. Sancho shouldn't be more than £70million. He is obviously still developing as his confidence level was low in this match because of a change in game environment.

Greenwood a rookie came on and the first shot he took broke a defenders leg. I pray ED use his head on this one.

In the few minutes Greenwood was on, despite being 1 man down, he caused more problem. Dortmund want to rinse us same way they did Dembele on Barca. I just needed a sharp RW to take pressure of Greenwood.

Leyqute:
Mourinho would be proud to coach them

Very poor tactics and they nearly nicked a point.

Leyqute:
He overhit it.

His coach’s reaction was hilarious

Iceland is very poor. Na only to pack bus dem sabi

Bjarnasson missed penalty. Gomez saved embarrassment

Expert17:
Playing Trippier at LB

Not his fault though. Shaw and Chilwell are injured. He would have started TAA.

Greenwood on.

engrelvis:
nt bad but he looks average to me

TBH sterling was clearly better than Sancho today. In Bundesliga he gets open spaces and very very poor defenders to dance around with. EPL have more disciplined and calm defenders just like these Icelandic defenders. If he give this kind of performance in half of our games. The meme from rival fans will be epic

Leyqute:
That's the English problem.

He's definitely going to come on in this game cos he took part in the pre-match presser.

With walkers red card I doubt.

TAA on for Sancho who has absolutely been toothless throughout the game

Expert17:
Walker red card

Southgate na idi.iot against a bus packing team, he is starting Walker. TAA would have opened them up easily.

Leyqute:
Thanks.

It seems most right footed players excel on the left wing and lefties on the right.

Maybe Greenwood can come on and impress a bit- not too much though, so that these journos won't start piling pressure on him.

Yeah. I dont even know why Southgate invited him. Why not U21 for now. Ferguson would not have allowed it.

Leyqute:
How is he playing?

His performance in this kind of match (parkdabus) is important because that is how most of our matches will be next season.

He is sharp as usual, and would have had an assist but Rice fluffed the chance. He switched with Sterling, but Icdont know if it's me, but Sterling caused more problems than Sancho at RW. Sancho looked better in LWF than he was in RWF after the switch. Iceland is very disciplined in defence though, and rarely got out of their area.

For me Rice and Foden were killing it

Expert17:
Pickford is their no 1, Pope no 2 and Henderson no 3.

Bench DDG next season and that will take him to no 1.

Kane goal was clean.
Sancho started well but went missing later on.

Ddg will retain his no. 1 spot next season, unless he does his usual.

If you ask me, Pope is better than the 3 of the England GKs.

engrelvis:
am watching England match because of sancho

Yeah I see him.

Rice has impressed me TBH. He is not bad linking the attack. And he is even more visible and enterprising trying to find space in opposition defence than Ward-prowse who is in front of him.
Foden has been good too.

Who Is watching England. Pickford starts ahead of Henderson. Kane goal ruled out.

Unlimited22:
I had to check the handle twice. This is a great post.

Banter aside Chelsea made great signings this season. The problem is will Chelsea fans allow the players to settle in? Would they be listening to banters from rival fans and give up on promising young players? Some players take up to 2 years to bed in, some hit the ground running. Among Chelsea signings I see Ziyech and Werner hitting the ground running, Costa will just be normal but will bring experience. Havertz might take little time, so Lampard should rotate him with Mount and take pressure off him, he still have time he is just 21. Imagine if all these Chelsea signings become hit, even if its next year. Lol. We are all dead.

Panther7:
Marina is the boss!

The truth is nobody is sure of the amount. English media is saying £71m max/€80.
German media is saying £90m/€100m.
Chelsea official site said he is the record signing.
Leverkusen official is saying €100m.
The fee just like some transfers are undisclosed.

Till today nobody knows how much barca paid for Neymar, Van der sar and Evra to Man United. Only yesterday we knew how much madrid paid for Hazard, Madrid denied it though. So its undisclosed.
Moreover if he plays well nobody will remember the amount. Goodluck to him

Segedinho:
This is what telegraph is saying.

Na so Madrid reduce money for una. For morata. Lol.

We know wetin happen. If una like buy am for 10m

Segedinho:
You mean d convicted fridge ....


He will definitely make d 1st eleven of chelsea female academy like a boss sha.

Lol we dey here na. When Kepa go de drink goals like water. Lol

Bville02:
You have Chelsea's affairs stucked in your mental. Misery loves company. You want company when your stupid club fell for an 80m fridge.

The fridge will walk into your first eleven like a boss.

afrodoc2:
How bad was he? He looked good in his highlights and there was a report that he had the fastest sprint in La Liga last season.

He was too terrible. But a weak link. Not fast in reacting to danger, bad on one on one. Not good at all on the air. He is an Ok player. Nothing more. Not better than Lindelof

EarlRagnar2:
No havertz announcement today again
Boy better not flop

I just de pray make Chelsea sign this guy. He will make a better meme. I just the pray make Chelsea enter the trap. 100m Euros wow. God please.

Is this not the same pau Torres some are saying we should sign? SMH

Oasis007:
Work is being done on an exit out of Manchester United for Sergio Romero. Aston Villa have shown the most interest but United value the player at £8m-£10m. Sources have downplayed the prospect of signing Jack Grealish after signing Van de Beek.

- Laurie Whitwell

That's a good money for Romero I swear. Now Smalling for €17-20 million as rumoured is also good. Perriera, Jones and Lingard should fetch us extra 40m pounds

afrodoc2:
The potential rivals would be Liverpool, Chelsea, City, and at a stretch Bayern.

I don’t see him going to Real with their 2 Young Brazilian stars, the Belgian fat flop, and their impending Mbappe move.

Gone are the days when Madrid outbid clubs for huge talents, sancho is English so wont have the unnecessarily Bayern pull, mostly German players are the ones who run to Bayern. We are bigger than Chelsea on one on one transfer duels except if we are not interested. I dont see Liverpool spending over 100m when their front 3 is intact. Again most of this will also depend on how we perform this year. In case we didn't buy him this summer

afrodoc2:
If one is to worry about Sancho i think players like Dembele, Kagawa, Mkhitaryan would be the examples to give.

Sancho's first 2 full seasons are better than than Dele Alli's first 2 EPL seasons. Just that Delel Alli was doing it in the hype of EPL while Sancho was doing it in the obscurity of Bundesliga.
Also remember that Dele Alli had actually played 2 full seasons in the Championship so those EPL seasons were his 3rd and 4th seasons as a pro while Sancho was a true rookie.

Dele Alli was a stat padder with good movement and anticipation but obvious technical limitations. Sancho is a better dribbler and creator of goals and is actually also more prolific.
So even the stats that Dele Alli pads he is inferior to Sancho in and Sancho looks like he has a higher ceiling.
He is not Messi, Neymar, or Mbappe though.

Sancho 2018/2019 Age 18-19 .......................12 goals 14 assists
Alli 2015/2016 Age 19-20 ........................10 goals 9 assists

Sancho 2019/2020 Age 19-20 ........................17 goals 16 assists
Alli 2016/2017 Age 20-21..........................18 goals 7 assists

In the first 2 seasons Alli had 28 goals, 16 assists while Sancho had 29 goals, 30 assists. Dele Alli was a year older and with 2 more years of pro experience YET he scored less and created far less.

Alright. Let just hope Ed doesn't bungle this opportunity. Because if it enters a transfer bazaars type next season, I dont trust our own ED. And Sancho might have more options to chose from
