Agreed.
We also had to break the British transfer record to sign Rio Ferdinand from a relegated Leeds who were in a dire situation financially at the time. I have no doubt they would ask for a ridiculous sum.
Is Jadon Sancho really worth the 100 plus million fee?

Pedro Goncalves, at Sporting.What is a Pote? And why is he and Raphinha available for peanuts?
Sancho's coming home fellas. Get used to it
Would be an exciting alternative to Sancho, although the latter is still my preferred option for our right wing.
Was Smith we signed when they got relegated not Rio
You're right. But the financial crisis at the club had started way before. Hence Rio was sold, but they sold him for a huge fee.
Yeah good point that was under Risdale wasn't it
That's right, under Ridsdale.
I think Sancho is as good as done; I expect it do be wrapped up pretty quickly and with little fuss from either side.
As an aside, I also think Rice (a drawn-out saga, lessened slightly if Lingard is involved) will follow and a CB. Pogba to extend, eventually.

He was playing as a LW in his last 10 games. This really won't make people happy here but I really do think he's a much better LW than a RW, he has the license to cut inside and be a bit more unpredictable. He can be good on the RW but you won't see the best of him.
That would be a 1st class transfer window.Will it happen?
I actually think yes it will.
The three that play behind Cavan are fluid. I see both Pogba, Rashford and Greenwood interchanging a lot. Pretty sure if Sancho plays on the right, he will habe license to drift.
This one is sounding inevitable.
Would be happy with a less well known CDM IF we can get the top targets at CB & RW, also think that a backup RB is still a real possibility but could well decide to just give Dalot/Laird an opportunity there when AWB needs a break
“Joel Glazer to approve.....”
This has definitely come from the club

It does appear that way doesn't it. "Look guys, we're going to spend money. Stop complaining".
Weekly Sancho scouting. Dortmund can ensure CL with a win today. Anybody else watching?
Edit: A couple of assists already

2 assists for Sancho which means that he's on 4 goals and 5 assists in 4 of his last games (including the ongoing one).
If we don't get Sancho I will cry.
I wonder when people will stop pretending that Sancho isn't worth big money?
Only himself Muller and Messi have got 20+ assists every season for the last 3 seasons.

He was but he was putting up these numbers at RW in his previous two seasons so..
He isnt like our other wingers he is very good on both sides. It's a good thing not a negative.
Everyone fancies themsleves as a bit of a football manager who can find better value in the market themsleves.
Sometimes though , you spot genuine brilliance and need to go for it. Imagine if instead spending big of Rio back in the day we decided "nah I'll have me two CMs instead for that money".
What a player and he’s only 21. We’ll get a decade of top quality out of him if we get him
Just listening to the commentators on BT and it is these kids should stay at Dortmund for an extra season as they have CL football. Maybe the lad just wants to come home, especially after the last 12 months.
There’s a lot more noise in the media about Sancho and a CB.
I 100% think that we need a DM (and Ole probably does too), but judging by media noise, Sancho and a CB look definite. Maybe even a cheap RB alternative. But a DM is not definite. Hope I’m wrong as we really need one.
FM managers be likeHad 2 assists in the first half of a must win match
say what? Mainz aren't fighting for the UCL spot
its not a must win game either and the first half was played as such
I saw Dortmund were winning 2-0 and I could have bet my bottom dollar that Sancho was involved in at least one of the goals. Turns out he assisted two.
His numbers are ridiculous for someone so young.

If you are talking about today: Mainz is not fighting for anything. Since yesterday they know they will not be relegated and are even more hungover than Dortmund after their cup win on thursday.
Mistook them for Frankfurt initially
Still a must win for Dortmund if they plan on qualifying for the CL
No surprise Dortmunds gortunes took a complete 180 once he came back from injury
8 goal contributions in the last 4 matches and they look like a proper outfit once again
Just imagine that sort of creativity and dynamism added to the likes of Bruno and Pogba to supply the forwards we currently have...

Sancho hasn't actually been all that in this game, he's had the type of game Rashford has which he regular gets pesters for i.e. he was shit apart from the cross or he was shit apart from the goal
He's had quite a few of those games in the CL and for England.
I mean I'm not criticising the lad and would love to see him but you can see the posts a mile off
I think people are expecting Messi based on the posts
Rashford and you can add Bruno to that, too. Ultimately, that final ball that we see so often from Bruno, despite sometimes having poor games, gets you three points.
We've all seen the change in form of Dortmund since Sancho has come back from injury.
Think our fan base is not used to having top players.
That's the bottom line. Nobody can play like Messi where he is brilliant through out the game and has the productivity.
Quite simply Sancho has gotten top 4 for Dortmund. Everything changed 2 or 3 games into his comeback from injury. Even if @charlenefan isn't wrong abt Sancho not having a great game...what matters is the final product. Just like Rashford and Bruno as you pointed out.
I really do wonder if Liverpool will try bin Mane and steal Sancho from us?
If they where to we'd look like absolute mugs.
