I meant more so in terms of less competition for his signature than how much it would cost. I imagine it would be around that 80-100 mark.

Think we'll see United go for Rice, Chelsea for Haaland (United bottled that) and Liverpool for Bellingham.

City to nibble at all three maybe.

Jesse on a freebie come the summer I suspect.

Wouldn't surprise me at all. I daresay a team might take a nibble in Jan (Newcastle).

Everyone bottled Sancho, Haaland and Bellingham. They were all obviously some of the finest teenagers in Europe and Dortmund had a free run at them all for a little more than £50M. You can’t even buy Harry Maguire for that these days.
 
You serious? he’s not bad for just 18.

He's fine, just think the creaming over him is approaching Sancho levels already. Let's see him do it in the PL first. Saw him against us for Birmingham two years ago and he was very average. Of course he's improved - he's in a much better set up - but the obsession can cool down a bit.

Two years ago he was 16 and playing first team football wasn't he?

Josh Tymon was playing first team football in the PL at 16, so?

Birmingham were shit two years ago, there's a reason he was fast-tracked.

He was 16 and not shit, maybe just a poor game against your mob. A big uptick second half of last season and even more improvement this season..and not just in attack, but winning one on ones as well. Watch some of his highlights.

I already acknowledged I was exaggerating by saying he's shit, but everyone needs to calm down a bit on him. I've watched plenty of him, don't worry. Sancho has looked incredibly average this season to highlight just how much people get sucked in by Bundesliga stats.

Sancho intrigues me from a sliding doors POV. Pochettino wanted him and was close to getting him but City were making it hard via the tribunal fee system. So he went to Dortmund and shined and now is the high profile signing (flop) for United.

I do wonder if his EPL life started under Pochettino at a club with less expectation than United could things have turned out different.

Look he’s no Jarrod Lionel Maradona Bowen but harsh on two promising kids, one who’s not in a great spot at the moment.

I tend to agree. Those big fees can put a long pressure on young kids. Look at Saka and Smith-Rowe at Arsenal by comparison at a similar age to Sancho.

Not many are, but I don't hold that against them.

Josh Tymon isn't playing first team football at 18 at one of the best clubs in the world for developing talent.

Kind of my point..

Doesn't matter that he broke into the first team at 16 (at a shit Birmingham in the Championship), what matters is what he progresses to do.

Flip side. Could have bought him like we did Sessegnon and barely been seen and let go to a Championship club.
We apparently went after ESR as a teenager but his heart beat NL red.

Wish we'd use our academy more but whatevs.

Yeah Sessegnon is a curious one, I wonder what will end up happening with him.

Tymon now starting to look a world beater at Stoke, and if/when they get back into the PL it'll be interesting to see what he progresses to be.

I was reading today he went on trial at Chelsea and they rejected him.

You don't expect them to actually watch and assess all 163,352 players in the loan army do you? ;)
