My friend who's a Manc gloated when they signed Sancho and Ronaldo. From what I've seen of Sancho so far, is it too early to consider him a flop?
He's a flop in their system (...which isn't even a system at all).
The lad has talent.
If you've seen him play at Borussia (where they had a system that was well suited to what he does well), you'd know this.
Sancho is a perfect example of that age old "rich club" disease of,.... 'see a player with talent, and pay bucketloads of money to get him and shove him into your team regardless of whether their skills actually work with your system or not. Even if it's just to prevent your rivals from getting him.'
See : Barca with Coutinho, and now PSG with Gini.
The players themselves should of course take responsibility. At least Gini's getting paid a mint to warm that PSG bench, so he got (part of) what he wanted.
Sancho would have worked great in our system if he'd come to us since obviously Klopp's system is suited to wide players who have skill, and reports were that he was actually wanting to come to us instead of United, which is what might have prompted the Mancs to get him.
I kind of feel sorry for him because the reporting was that he was wanting to come back to England to play in the Premier league because he believed it would help his National team prospects.
Ironically, landing at the Mancs now seems to have sunk those chances if Southgate's latest snub is anything to go by given his limited playing time at United.
One has to wonder if he'd been better served staying at Dortmund another year, feeding Haaland those assists before deciding to make the jump (even to a club like Arsenal who seem to have stabilized in the last coupled of weeks).
