The only concern for me is that he didn't even make the England bench. England has a lot of talent, but I expect him to be atleast part of the matchday squad.
Jadon Sancho | £72.9M fee agreed
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date

Greenwood didn't even make the squad, are you concerned about him?
He’s not worth £81 million we obviously have to negotiate as low as we can.
Shaw was left on the bench for a RB who can take free kicks are you concerned about Shaw ?
Happy Sancho day guys!
80mil for a player that does not make the bench for a competitive international???
Dortmund need to wake up to themselves and take the generous cool 67mil
That is the point I wanted to say.
Disagree.
We wasted all of last summer, squabling with Dortmund over the price, meaning we had to scramble like idiots on deadline day to get some signings.
We have other transfers to tend to as well. No need to waste even more time on this if we are talking about 5 million
I guess you were one of those screaming "just pay £25m for Telles" last summer just to get him for £10m less a couple weeks later.
Greenwood withdrew because of an injury
I wanted Phillips, Grealish and Sancho 6 months ago I want them even more now.
If we could somehow sell Martial, Pogba and Lingard and somehow get these 3 we would be in a brilliant position.
It might be a £100 million net spend but if there’s anytime to invest it’s now, prices will only increase in the future.
Forward - Grealish, Sancho, Rashford, Greenwood, Cavani, Bruno, Diallo.
Midfielders - Fred, Mctominay, VDB, Phillips.
The average age is around 25 which is perfect.

Getting Telles for nothing would have been an alright deal.
I don't think this will happen. Dortmund are stubborn af and probably better negotiators. They know we desperately want him.
United are in a new phase where we're trying to prove we're no pushovers in the transfer market either.

Oh yeah an 'injury'
Ducker knows feck all these days and thats an easy angle to have when the deal isnt agreed yet.
I am amazed the power Gareth Southgate has in making people doubt Sancho.
Big things to happen today.

Either just get it done or move onto other targets. The players we bought from Dortmund before were supposed to be great but turned out to be shite, I don't see Sancho being the be all and end all for us one way or the other. The central of defence and defensive midfield positions need addressing urgently this summer too.
Happy Sancho Day . Have a feeling we will start making moves very soon ( this is obviously based on nothing but a hunch )
Are we desperate tho? Not even sure it's the essential position anymore compared to other areas, and we bought 2 younger players for that spot last season.
Wait, we've bought players from Dortmund before that weren't a success? Why hasn't this been mentioned? I feel duped. Sanchoff.
Sancho day = Groundhog day 
Good point then I don't know, maybe Sancho will take a temporary number and then get the number 7 when Cavani leaves at the end of next season.
Remember how we got the Bruno deal? We walked away the first time.
The transfer team need to develop a spine and need to get rid of the reputation of over-paying aka the United tax.
Question , there is not a single unironic "big day today post" correct ? I am not often around these parts.
Still too expensive as far as I’m concerned.
I hope we get Sancho without paying over the odds, though that scenario is unlikely.
Southgate is doing his bit by dropping him from the squad (naming 2 keepers on the bench over Sancho) and reducing his value. Nice one Gareth.
Be a lot more than 100 mill net spend. Buying those 3 would be north of £220 mill and you won't get nowhere near £120 mill for the 3 you want to sell
How is there so much negativity when there are literally no reliable sources saying that this deal is unlikely?
feck sake. Just relax and be patient.. Chances are it won't be done until after the euros
feck sake. Just relax and be patient.. Chances are it won't be done until after the eurosHad a dream I shook Sancho's hand after he signed and was talking about places to live like Alderley Edge
The year to sell Sancho is this one. In 2022 he's entering his final contract year and his transfer value will go down significantly. The player wants to move and was reportedly impacted negatively when it fell through last year. Dortmund can't afford to upset the player two transfer windows in a row, he'll simply refuse to sign another extension, and Dortmund risk leaving £30m~ on the table that could have been spent investing in future talent, simply because they want to posture. There's also the signal effect to new potential talents that want to use Dortmund as a stepping stone: They play hardball to the point where someone may feel its to the detriment of their careers. Sancho may feel he just wasted one year of his. Eventually that could outweigh the allure of playing CL football for a 17 year old, then again it may not, who knows what teenagers are thinking about.
Eitrher way: This will happen this year, Dortmund, or we, can't afford it not to.
If grealish and Phillips wanna play for United, they'll have to lose those shitty haircuts.
Sancho Yep day turns official ?
I believe he is required to pick 2 keepers on the bench. The match day squad stays the same as it would be for a normal 23 man squad.
I’d say around 1-120 million but it will be money very well spent.
At 1 million we should definitely bite their hand off...
You defeinately would get near 120 for those three.
That makes sense. I didn’t know that though, thanks.
I don't know. Pogba in his last season and no one actively after him reckon 30/35 mill. Lingard 10/20 mill and theb Martial. Could get 30-50 mill depending if a PSG or similar would get the top end. Either way I reckon 100 mill tops. Think the 3 players coming in which were mentioned would be a minimum 80 for Grealish and Sancho and 60 for Phillips
