Not sure about you guys but there just went my pants....May not mean anything and I don't like to out him, but a certain costume wearing Pug from the far east liked my post.
Make of that what you will.
Now he seems set to sign with us, I've watched a few YouTube compilations and he does look very promising.
However, in all the clips I watched it looks like he plays exclusively from the left, cutting inside onto his favoured right foot. Given Hercules' earlier info that if Sancho signs then he will be in contention for some proper first team game time, it seems we're bringing him in in a position we're already stacked in. Of our attacking midfielders, Dele and Son both usually play down the left (albeit all of our AMs drift into different areas at times), but we have such scant cover on the right (Eriksen now playing there sorta out of position, and who knows when/if Lamela will ever play for us again) that we've gone to the extreme measure of giving Sissoko minutes on that right hand side.
All for Sancho signing, but we now seem very overloaded in the left AM slot, and yet still sorely understocked for the right hand side. Strange one.

Aurier's heart will melt with the sheer, potent romance of it allThis would be such a coup. Him and Reiss Nelson will be like Romeo and Juliet, we'll see them making longing eye-contact across the new WHL next season whilst Aurier looks on disapprovingly
That's already Sancho's style - he's right footed.Some guy called Bale was left sided but did very well cutting in from the right .......................
What a signing, amazing position to be in when we can attract young talent, not with money, but with a promise of chances in the first team.
Imagine sess,Edwards and sancho in a three behind a striker in 10 years time
All hail poch
10 ?? More like 5
or he might have looked at our bench and seen SissokoIf this move DOES now happen (after previously looking like he was going elsewhere), I wonder if the kid's apparent change of heart might have something to do with the resurrecting of our move for Sessegnon.
With such a young team I expect to win the Mickey Mouse cup this yearLooks like we're going for the Title again this year...!!!
'Youngest team ever' I mean.
I'm not sure we have such an imbalance. It may seem that way with Lamela out and Sissoko not impressing much. I'm surprised Nkoudou doesn't play on the right more though. Plus don't be surprised to see KWP push up field where we often played Onomah when he came on.Now he seems set to sign with us, I've watched a few YouTube compilations and he does look very promising.
