But that's not how market works. If Bayern says "Coman is worth €100m for us and he won't go below that", that is their decision. And if every club values their players so high currently and nobody moves this summer, that's the buyers' problem. If Dortmund is happy to miss out on €87m this summer for Sancho, than his price in the market is >€87m.
I don't get your last point. Are you suggesting there is no gentlemen's agreement and Zorc just pretended there was? I fear I won't discuss this.
Loving that optimism!
Also the bit in bold...its called a difference of opinion, you are not right and I am not wrong.
What's with all the hold up with Sancho deal? Looks like a free run two years running for United as it seems no one else is interested in signing him. I've not watched much of BuLi but everytime I've seen him for England I'm less than impressed. Maybe United see something the rest of the big boys don't.
Just because it's an opinion doesn't mean it can't be wrong.
I thought it was 56 hours this summer.
We were the only ones seriously in for Bruno and he's looked less than stellar for Portugal yet there's little question that he's the best midfielder in England not named De Bruyne
Paying that amount of money for someone that can't get into the England team that has scored 1 goal in 2 games so far in eth EC.
If he is that good why aren't any of the big boys after him.

I agree with the other posters. This is really a very special take on things. One thing our club seem to be hell bent on fixing is the transfers and scouting. Amad is a superb signing for the future and he ain’t in direct competition to Sancho at all. I am the opposite of you. I am very excited following this club for the years to come with all the talent we now have.
Well our reputation post Sir Alex might have taken a beating but we are still one of the biggest boys still and this notion that all elite talents would have competition for their signature isn't true at all most would have that but some simply might be have a preference for specific team which might dissuade others Clubs from pursuing them meaningfully.
Besides the fact that 3 or 4 of the big boys are having money problems there is also the fact that he wants to go back to England which rules bayern out who also happen to have Sane, Gnabry and coman for the wings. Chelsea are stacked in the attacking areas and only want a striker in that area, he and Pep seem to not like each other and Liverpool would have to sell Salah/Mane for this type of outlay.
Why do people always say this when we’re in for someone?
By all accounts Chelsea were interested but the player only wanted United.
Seems one of those were no one else is interested as everything has been agreed for some time between club and player.
When debating which player a football club should or shouldn't buy with fellow fans on the internet...seriously! there is no wrong opinions, it's all just a bit of fun.
I like this deal less and less as time goes on.
Rather pay less for someone good(Not a Dan James, obviously) and fix more positions, to be honest.
Fixing more positions would be more beneficial to our progression than breaking the bank on one and not even knowing whether we will fix the others.

How do we know they aren't but he's dead set on joining United?
Is it beyond the realms of possibility that he really wants to come here and doesn't want to go elsewhere, hence theres no point in anyone else enquiring? It might geninuely be that no other clubs are interested though, who knows?
Because he wants to go back to Manchester and to United
Its not a free run. He wants to join us. Remember when we were told Chelsea were in for him etc etc and he'd 100 percent join his boyhood club?
Pepperidge farm remembers.
Greenwood will be a CF/second striker. Sancho will be the main RW with Amad the Yong and learning one. Don't see the issue. Well done to the club if they add one of the best young footballers on the planet in a huge problem position.
Good post.
Neither does Dortmund. They sell their best players because they can't match the wages of bigger clubs not because it's their business model.
Their higher ups seem to think differently.
For the sake of 10 million euro what the point of missing out on out apparent top target again?
Where, show me statement by Watzke that says that this is their business model, please.
Just seems like a repeat of last summer.
Dortmund need to remember that Glazers are neither ambitious nor generous.
They won't be desperate enough to be swindled by BVB as we've secured top 4 two seasons in a row and that's really all that matters to them.
If we were going for the title I think we'd have caved in.
Sancho will most likely fulfill his add-on clauses and BVB will end up handsomely paid overall.
Just accept the fecking bid!

Steve Bruce played zero matches for England. Carrick played on 34, and Scholes quite Internation football due to the mess that was and is England.
That is your yardstick?
He hasn't with this. He could have easily jumped on the second bid bandwagon and refrained.
Altogether his fee is a lot of money, isn't it?
On top of that, if we make him one of the highest paid players at such a young age, it just feels like we'll be making the same mistakes we've been making over the last 8 years.
If we choose to sign a well-performing RW for less money, we'd be able to fix an additional position or two, which would make us a much greater threat imo.
Perhaps if Covid hadn't happened, we'd still be spending rather big, and I wouldn't be so concerned about the Sancho deal, but if we're signing him with the condition being we forego other positions, I know which side I'm leaning towards.
Not had a right winger of quality since 2009, need to fix other positions 
Chances are that England will be out of the Euros in one week. Then it’ll be 48 hours until the first 48 hours
Personally, I'd say EUFA and FIFA are doing a pretty good job of "murdering" football, they don't really need any outside help.
Super League would have been a good idea if the big clubs had included some sort of relegation. As it was, no, not a good idea.
Come on then Tom, what’s your best and more
importantly worst case scenario for having 3 top young talents on the books, all that are able to compete in 2 positions of a front 3?
Why is the planning so bad? We need a little more substance behind your negativity on signing both Amad and Sancho.
Well we need to back the manager and go for his plan so it's best to just get Sancho imo.
Also I don't know of any right wingers available that are even half as good as Sancho. Do you?
There is someone like Raphina but Leeds would rinse us for him or would refuse to sell us him.
Sometimes you just need to pay up for your top targets.
Everything we have seen about Sancho says he is worth the money.
Also last year we failed to sign Sancho and still forgoes the other important positions so there is no evidence to say the fund would be reallocated elsewhere.

Or the big boys already have top players in his position?
There isn't a better winger that is available.
His stats are insane even for the Bundesliga.
Been getting 30+ G/a since he was 18. Dortmund and Halaand struggled massively when he was out injured this season as well.
Hilarious to see Utd fans lose their shit over this, again, over the last few pages.
Why the hysterics all of a sudden? It's almost done. Just a little bit more.

a) check out his contribution last season in the Bundeliga b) maybe it say more about Southgate than it does about Sancho - so far Southgate's tatics/subs have resembled Ole's... c) when did United not fit the description "big boys"?
d) I have to admit I can't make my mind up about Sancho but we do need a wide man and I can think of any others available or any better so...
You’d think after 2 years we’d have a bit more patience. What’s a few more weeks?
Lunatic-café though innit.
We've not got Sancho yet...if United/Glazers refuse to pay the extra 10 million then I'd be scratching my head why the club spent millions on Amad.
Great planning is for example...Cavani with Greenwood as his understudy is great and I love that!
Sancho (21) with Amad (18) as his understudy is a bit more tricky, especially IF it costs another 90 million on top of the 20-30 million spent last summer.
You can't see any logic in where I'm coming from?
Great if the transfer budget is limitless! and the current team is functioning, but we all know that both of those are not true. I can't see the Glazers giving funds to fix the CB and MF on top of the transfer for Sancho. It comes down to what you want more, another young talent untested in the Prem for 100 million or spend big on other areas and maybe buy an older experience player that can share the game time with Amad for 18 months on the RW.
Both players are super talented, I'm not arguing that. I'm just annoyed the club seems to be getting the run around in the market again.
