But that was not the question. Sancho does not and has not provide more than Antony.

Looks like he has, in fact, provided more goals and more assists.

Sworn to dedicate my heart and soul to the restoration of human kind!

Antony is the textbook definition of "decent tricksy winger who presses a bit", there are multiple identical people like him floating around Europe, and it's amazing that united paid ninety million quid for him. They'll probably go out and sign someone even worse next summer for a similar fee amidst fan whining of "the manager needs backing in the market" and "have you ever watched a man united game we don't have anyone for the right wing" for the 10th season in a row.

Just waiting to see who, out of uhhhhhhh Trinciao, Stengs, or Chukwueze, has the biggest breakout season this year and that's probably who it will be.

Antony is also not some Jack Grealish type that provides a ton of shuttling and security and consistency if he’s not accumulating counting stats. He’s a dime a dozen winger that likes to run around a bit. I bet United wishes his name was Al-Tony so they could sell him to the Saudis for half of what they paid and call it

Imho Pulisic is actually a really good player he just has the annoying American hype and made the grave mistake of signing for Chelsea

These Dortmund guys need to stop signing for the legacy top PL clubs, just ban the practice

Anyone claiming that Sancho has been better than Antony on the right side of the pitch has not watched either player play for Man Utd.

tbf schroedinger's united signing rules also apply

player joins: daylight robbery, might as well burn the money, a shitclown, a garbageman farting at windmills, like freddy adu and ali dia had a baby, wouldn't let him play for us for free

player leaves: a generational talent destroyed by terrible management from a terrible club, I weep for him and beat my breast

Looking at some Advanced Stats (expected goals actually scored and expected assists actually made vs expected games played that were actually played) it looks like Antony is really bad. If you go a bit deeper into the hidden stats like cards received, it’s even worse.

• ⁠Fitness issues have plagued Chelsea since last season when, according to a study by Howden’s European Football Injury Index, the Blues suffered 97 injuries — 16 more than any other side across Europe’s top five leagues.
• ⁠Club doctor Paco Biosca and head physio Thierry Laurent left the club as part of a cull by the new Boehly-Clearlake ownership. They believed City, Liverpool and even clubs such as Brighton had more progressive medical departments. The issue has not yet been resolved.
• ⁠A private physiotherapy firm used by celebrities including Dave Grohl, Morrissey and Katie Price has stepped up in place of the long-serving staff. Even still, they have overseen some injuries that some believe avoidable. James Ralph, James’s personal physio, hinted at anger towards the reintroduction of his client to playing after he returned from injury after the World Cup.
• ⁠It is understood that players are concerned with the situation after seeing Kante’s career ravaged by a series of niggling injuries

It's times like these you wish you had a better knowledge of Foo Fighters song titles. My poor brain just doesn't work that way.

Anyway, Chelsea fans will be up in arms when their players wind up spending everlong on the mend when they're trying to breakout of midtable mediocrity. Monkey wrench.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

I do not mean to be so rude
Still, I must speak frankly, Mr. Boehly
Oh, give us your money


E:
So we check the news and we gravely read the scores
All those players, all those wasters
Where are they now?
Havertz, Lukaku,
And Barkley, Pulisic and Auba
They were bought
And then they sucked
And then were sold
No trophy this year
I want to cry
