He scored 8 goals in 23 matches. He wasn't a "flop" as much as unable to justify his massive price tag.

Sancho is yet to do shit all in the PL.

Bundesliga should legit be treated the same as the Ereidivisie, the same league where shit random wingers like El Ghazi and Gaston Pereira end up with double-figure G+A.

Pay no heed to Hans.

big fax!

Why are some of you so invested in this kid's failure? such vulturistic attitude towards a consummate pro and overall nice guy.

You have to understand what Bundi has become... it's pure entertainment.  I love watching it.  But there's no doubt that most don't play defense.  It's a very offensive minded-league.  So you need to keep that in mind when looking at stats.

Same with defenders & DMs in Ligue 1.  It's a very defensive league.  So defenders tend to look better than they really are because of the style of play.

However, if you can play defense in Bundi or score in Ligue 1, you're legit worth a hard look.  Doesn't mean you'll make it in EPL or La Liga...  but it does mean that the odds you turn out ok are far better than the average.

Sancho has no pace. he isn't physically strong either. and the position they use him in Manchester requires both.

I agree he has been shat but the way they use him doesn't help either. also this confidence thing can turn world class players into average players. i fear Sancho is one of them players who can't handle criticism and pressure. if that's the case you will have another Coutinho. a WC player turned into shite.

what you have to understand @Mamad is that this boy was never "world class" in the first place. Tired of fanboys from lesser leagues just throw around that term so mindlessly that it takes away from its meaning.

I think people hate Uniteds footballing direction than the players, its as if they have no plan and buy anyone and hope they stick.

Either that or it's a great forum past time to make fun of Bundesliga players flop in top leagues because it's usually always the case

lol @sportsczy pretending as if La Liga is any good these days

Leverkusen would probably compete for the title there

Sigh, no they won't. They'll be like Valencia or Athletic.

I genuinely hope this is not the case as that'll just be such a poor form.

However, if we can give Sancho lavish praise (possibly over the top praise tbh), then the opposite should be allowed. And to be fair, he's currently in flop territory. I'll go even further to say, so is Grealish.
