There has been a lot of talk about Sancho’s price post transfer (assuming it gets completed). Very quick thread on what I think may happen:

Have seen some compare him to Maguire and James who dipped. I think this is a mistake, as his media profile and PB game is incomparable.

Have seen some Bruno comparison. Bruno was static for a short period after signing before he really rocketed once he got penalties and a good PB score. I don’t think this is comparable to Sancho as Bruno had so many games soon after signing (Sancho may have to wait 5 weeks)

I think many think his media dries up post signing. This happens on many players as the event is bigger than a players media profile. I think Sancho wins a lot of media post transfer. More than has been factored in to his price.

As a result, I think a) he rises once it’s confirmed and then b) after a week or so of stable price, as people see many 1000+ media scores post transfer he continues to steadily rise. This then takes him towards the start of the season.

Given the club + size of fee for English player, it won’t follow normal transfer rules on FI. I’m viewing it as it’s own transfer & don’t expect it to follow previous post transfer patterns.

*This is assuming it all goes through. If not, who knows what media will look like.
