As others have said can't help but feel this is bad news re Sancho to PSG. Better look for another buyer ASAP.

Yeah hopefully discussed at this recruitment meeting that is supposed to take part today
 
If we didn't need a CB and RB/LB cover you may have a point
i'd rather gamble wiht youth players or Evans on board so we could spend the money on getting top quality attacking players

Sancho is tailor made for Saudi. His England career is likely done given how stacked England are with young attacking midfielders/wide players and his poor attitude at bvb, city and utd will be held against him. He has already played at the highest level in champions league and no other top 4 team in England will sign him for obvious reasons. Saudi are signing lots of young players so provided Ronaldo has not black balled him, the lifestyle should be more to his liking and no compromise on wages required.

So are they football people or financial people who make financially driven decision? Sancho has been a massive hit in the Bundesliga and a similar profile to Simons and Doué.

He's been a hit at Dortmund. Bayern "FC Hollywood" can be a notoriously rough club. If you consider Sancho's flop at United as a symptom he may struggle in high stakes, high pressure environment, might deter them from having him on their list.
 
This is on Bayern for fecking about too long trying to get us to fork out more cash for de Ligt, had they accepted our offer weeks ago they’d have the cash to get the Doue deal done quickly ahead of PSG. Now they’ve probably fecked our chances of getting rid of Sancho as well, cheers Bayern!!

Doué was never going to decide until after the Olympics. Him joining PSG actually screws both United and Bayern since Sancho and Coman are both on the chopping block and PSG was rumored to be interested.
 
Hopefully Bayern will go for Sancho now that Doue is off to PSG
Bayern is trying to cut their wage bill, you really think they will go for Sancho? I don’t think they would go for Sancho even if they manage to get rid of Coman and Gnabry.

Ah good point, wishful thinking on my part. Bayern seem to be going for a younger profile of player too.

They have said they will wait till next summer now to try for Floren Wirtz or Xavier Simmons. They have Olisse, Gnarby, Coman, Sane for the wide positions already.

Its one of the reasons I think Doue chose PSG. Less competition in the wide areas

"How many player names can you misspell in one post?"

dinostar77: "yes"
 
Paying a similar fee for Olise and Doué would have been a joke for Bayern anyway. Olisé is thrice the player Doué is and I'm not convinced it will ever change.
 
PSG doesn't feck about. Getting all the high profile talents in midfield even though their midfield was already quite good. Hopefully we can do this too in about 1 or 2 summers.
 
His first touch is ludicrous

Cooly took his winning pen as well, impressive given the stakes and at Anfield no less.

I'm very jealous of the young talent PSG have brought in lately
 
I always remember Sir Alex quote "what all great players have in common is they look like they have time on the ball" and for me Doue just has this in spades. Plays 1 and 2 touch football at speed, goes past players like they weren't there.

Unreal talent.

He's incredible, looks so assured but not cocky. PSG have successfully done what Chelsea tried to do with accumulation of young talent. Enrique is doing a nice job knitting it all together as well.
 
Again, was so annoyed that we were not even interested last summer. Him and Estevão moved for affordable money without much rivalry and it just seemed odd to me.
 
I think there's a reason he doesn't start just yet, some small moments of immaturity but absolutely stuffed with talent. That flip-flap at the corner of the box to come back inside was electric.

I do think our pull drops every year, but I rather like our approach of taking arsenals best young players from their academy :)
 
And Wirtz potentially coming as well. Where would they fit Doue in that lineup @Acrobat7? Or would you be fine with not having Wirtz if you had signed Doue in the summer.
Unfortunately, I don’t see Wirtz coming to Bayern. Doue would have been rotating with other wingers. You kinda need four and I see two out of Sane, Gnabry, Coman leaving. There would have been space.

Wirtz will come. This summer or in the next one.
 
As much as I appreciate Doue’s talent, and he was already an incredible young player to watch with Rennes, he’s also being slowly bedded in into that PSG team.

Had we signed him, he would’ve turned out like all the other young players we sign and throw on the pitch with little to no preparation and expecting them to be game changers, ie either crumbling under pressure or completely lost.
 
People and these matter factly “there is zero chance he’d pick United over XYZ” club

When Yoro just picked United over Real and Heaven picked United even with Barcelona attempting to hijack it.

Cool.
 
Super talent. He lacks a bit of speed but he has word class technical skills. And Cherky has similar potential: he costs 25m: a real bargain.

Yep. Did Varane not say similar to how United deal with youngsters vs Madrid.

As in, Rayan Cherki from Lyon? I wonder if that release clause still stands this summer, as it’ll 100% be taken up by somebody. If not a whole host of clubs having a go. I thought it sounded a good punt when Chelsea were linked but with the season he’s having it’s become a bit of a gift really.
