English Abroad

I think right now Sancho could start for any team in England except Man City.

He should stay in Germany though or if he does move on he should stay abroad as I think it suits his style of play. Some of his dribbling is obscene

 

Who would he replace at Spurs? Utd is an option, he wouldn’t play at city or Liverpool

Arsenal have a need and are an improving side and should be top 4

 

You think he would start ahead of Salah or Mane?

 

I think they’d find a way to fit him in

I don’t think moving back here is a good option for him though. Besides Dortmund is a massive club and better than Man Utd and at the same level as most of our top teams

 

The issue for him is wages

The bundesliga is a right run ship in terms of finances

Jesus Christ he is one of the best dribblers i’ve seen and he’s only 18... and English!

I watched it and when he came on he changed the game. He really will be a special player (though go to the yanks forum and listen to them say he’s crap lol)

 

If this was still in England he wouldn't be getting a game . There is a lot to said for more England players moving to the continent. If players like hughes and barkley seeked foreign pastures when they were younger I think they would be much better footballers now.

 

As followers of youth football we have high hopes for so many players and the majority of the time they never kick on in senior football as we'd have hoped. It's so nice to see Sancho fully translate it into senior football for once.

 

To be fair, I’ve read mostly positive opinions on the Yanks abroad thread recently about Sancho. There are a couple of guys who clearly just want to have a dig at Sancho for any mistake but the better posters ( majority) actually shoot them down. They are somewhat obsessed with turnovers though, lol.

 

Seems he's been booked after 12 minutes.

 

I wrote about it in the u19 thread. Out of position but had a solid game.

 

Just thought I’d add this here, it’s an updated list of English abroad curtesy of Football Fragmento on Twitter. The list doesn’t include loans and maybe there is some missing?

I wonder how much the "renaissance" of him contributed to the status of Fran Sol as runner up in the topscorer list with 12 goals.

 

Francis Jno Baptiste has joined swedish side Ostersunds FK.

 

AD Sportwereld rating matchday 17:

FC Emmen – Willem II 0-2
FC Emmen: Scherpen 5,5; Gronsveld 5, Veendorp 5,5, Bakker 6, Siekman 5, Cavlan 5,5; Chacon 5, Bijl 6, Niemeijer 5 (56. Pedersen 5); Arias 5 (80. Marinus -), Jansen 6,5.
Willem II: Branderhorst 6,5; Lewis 6, Heerkens 6, Peters 6,5, Palacios 6; Llonch 5,5, Crowley 7 (90. Kristinsson -), Anita 6. Dankerlui 5,5, Sol 6, Özbiliz 6 (86. Saddiki -)
Scheidsrechter Gözübüyük: 6,5
Man of the match: Dan Crowley was de beste man aan Willem II-zijde. Hij heerste op het middenveld van de Tilburg.

 

Is Crowley still English? Surprised Ireland aren’t all over him given just how awful they are.

 

That's one player we are guaranteed of getting. Crowley himself has said he wants to play for Ireland. He has ruled out the possibility of playing for England completely.

Ooh whoopdedoo. Gutted about that

 

Not sure if he’s English or Nigerian or perhaps both but Tyrone Ofori has moved from Birmingham to Serie C side USD Cavese
