That would be my guess. ok but hes's already proven his talent at Dortmund and hence got his call up for the national squad.Surely, the recognition of his talent to play for England should not be dependent on his playing in the EPL.Look at all the foreign players playing in Europe , excelling in the top leagues with some of the best clubs and then getting in to their national sides as a result.Why is the reverse true for English players?

A Horse Named Stranger Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 British Media focus is on the EPL, thus more attention for the EPL players. Plain and simple. While Bayern and Leipzig had some fun tearing EPL teams a new one, there are probably still enough SUN readers out there, who think of the Bundesliga as some kind of farm league or something.

Soylent Brown Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 The way Ndombele's been chugging around the pitch lately, we're pretty much watching a 10v10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be my guess. He’s already a starter for England because he plays at a club that allows him to show his attacking ability. Considering he can reasonably expect to move to a club that is seriously challenging for league and CL, I doubt his international prospects are going to be much of a factor either way on his decision. He’d probably prefer to return home to England, and perhaps even home to the Manchester area, and he probably wants to be paid well and have a chance to continue to develop (good coach, strong team, starting role in team) and win lots of titles. I guess it depends which balance of those he wants and how patient he is to see what offers emerge. City arguably might want Sancho to upgrade Mahrez. Bayern might want him if he’ll stay in Germany. Barca might even be an option next year as they rebuild. Liverpool and Chelsea are stacked with starting wide forwards for now at least. Spurs and Arsenal probably cannot afford him. United need him more than anyone. He probably should have negotiated a release clause if he wanted to control his options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but Southgate, for all his failings, isn't that dumb. You'd think Sancho would prefer stability in a team he knows he works well in, rather than risking a switch to a team with obvious issues. He's on good wages already, so it won't hurt him to wait another year and see what the situation is then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City got him from Watford when he was 15/16, I think, so home for him is more likely to be London than Manchester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mourinho with the last laugh I’m actually hoping United win the second half to keep OGS in his job. I thought it was a bit ridiculous that Spurs played their starting team on Thursday night to batter Maccaba Haifi 7-2 in the EL qualifier, but it was probably good practice at demolishing a disorganized opponent. Spurs now have three games this season already with 5+ goals scored. Mourinho might not play attacking football, but they know how to take advantage of a disorganized opponent.

I didn’t realize that. I thought he was a local kid from all that I saw written about him. That’s a bit like Liverpool developing Sterling, Brewster and <ahem> Solanke after signing them young from other academies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorshach Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Hmmm... United should maybe take a punt on this opposition manager. Seems he can get teams to score goals and win. If not, there's always Allardici. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse Named Stranger Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Woodward will sign Klopp as next manager. Then the whole world can see how good this faux teethed fraud is, without Mane and Salah. Nah, seriously, I think next high profile coach to be available will probably be Tuchel. PSG's squad is getting thinner, and expectations remain the same. Leonardo and Tuchel have clashed already over this, so this is not gonna end well.

Iskaral Pust Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I’m sure Mourinho is enjoying his vengeance but if he gets OGS sacked while Pochettino is still available then it won’t be so funny in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
