Sancho is a starter for Man Utd this season. How exactly they have given up on him? Also how is Sancho used as an example but not Sane? They play in the same position.
And since you only focus on goalscoring Aubameyang was great at Arsenal.
For every good example, there will be a ton of bad ones. I'd agree that Aubameyang was able to translate his goalscoring form to the EPL in his first couple of seasons. Does not change the fact that a lot of seemingly world class scorers weren't able to make in the EPL.
Sancho recently lost his starting spot with the emergence of Garnacho, Rashford's return to form and Antony's arrival. He was supposed to be the guy they built the team around when they first signed him.
Also, I never said Sane wasn't a legit example. Quite the opposite, I told you he was the only legit example you gave, and he's only half-legit because he wasn't signed for his scoring prowess alone. He had other things to offer, like speed, dribbling and his usefulness on both wings.
My original post was about scoring goals, so that's why I'm "only focusing on goalscoring".
Chelsea also won CL with those two. I don't even remember the last time Chelsea really had a good, prolific goalscorer in the team... Hazard when he was fit?
It's been an issue for them for some time and I believe it's mostly not the striker's fault.
Chelsea's CL win was largely a fluke, and it surely was not thanks to their attack.
It's true that they had a number nine curse for a while now but Mount, Mata, Oscar, Ramires and Lampard have great numbers for midfielders. As you said, Hazard was consistently great, Willian and Pedro were quite decent for a while, Diego Costa did great. Torres and Anelka had that one season, even wingers like Malouda and Kalou were great compared to Havertz Werner etc.
Of course, there was also Drogba, who not only was a good goalscorer, but did so much more.
Tbh most of Man Utd signings have underperformed there in recent seasons. Sanchez, Depay, Di Maria, etc. It's actually the best destination for ruining your career.
I'll agree that they've been a cursed club with a terrible recruitment policy for a while now, but it's not an excuse: Bruno Fernandes is the prime example of this.
