Redcafe and Twitter is not the way to gauge the fanbase.
How are you gauging the entire Utd's fanbases view on Sancho then? Because I'm frankly baffled by the idea that its apparently neutral on him.
How dare Dortmund set the price for their own player!
Ian Rush looking dapper.
Still one of the best centre forwards I've seen (even allowing for playing for Liverpool)

It's all a bit strange, Last summer the BDL were the more manic I think, and yet this summer when the deal is actually happening, its Utd fans losing their shit more!
Is he ITK?
German fans! Is Dortmund a nice city? Id like to get over for a Dotmund - Munich game, the atmosphere looks super. Munich was great. Berlin too but their team is crap
Might be adding his own extra to sound original. But could have some truth as the fear most clubs have now with selling modern day wingers at a relatively young age is that they could go on to become 20+ 30+ or even 40+ plus goals a season players for 5-7 years once they hit 24/25… imagine how pissed Roma are for selling Salah for only €39m.. at a younger age Sancho’s stats are better then Salah when he was the same age.
I mean Sancho is practically already there cause he gets much more assists than those wingers who score a lot of goals
I'm not contesting or debating this, nor do I care. He presented the information as representative of how Dortmund feels about the situation, so it's weird people here would say "is this guy some sort of noob?" as if it was his personal opinion, which is what I replied to. People should just take the information from the tweets and sources they care about, rather than having these weird meta comments and attacks on the journalists. It's weirdo behaviour

I went over a with some friends the season before the pandemic hit and the atmosphere was as billed, fantastic. In terms of the city itself it was hard to tell fully as it was a Sunday game so not much was open but there was nothing to suggest it’d be much better other times. Think if I were to do it again I’d stay in one the neighbouring cities which are a bit more tourist friendly in terms of things to do and then travel in for the match.
The fanbase is huge and spans all over the world. How do you suggest it's opinion is measured and as @Judas said what have you done to establish that the opinion of the fanbase on Sancho is neutral?
I'd wager you can't answer either of those questions.
I've never been but I can guarantee you that there's no reason whatsoever to visit Dortmund. If you want to go to a game, fine, but stay in Cologne or even DüsseldorfGerman fans!

Without ever having been to Dortmund, my advice would have been the same.
After following this saga for a couple years now, the place I’d want to visit ist Bad Ragaz, not Dortmund.
Probably from Cologne people. They are very convinced of their city's greatness.Thank you. I hear great things about Cologne
It's ok, nothing too special, but for a visit I guess it's nice.
You should stay in Cologne, or even Hamburg if you're in for the Amsterdam vibes.Thank you. I hear great things about Cologne
This is so true! My friend from there is so unbelievably positive about it!
it is a nice city though.Not sure Hamburg is worth it for footballing reasons, unless going to St Pauli for their derby
No it’s because they are a selling club.
No, that literally is not how a market works. What you're describing is a position, a statement. Not a market price.
If Bayern decide Kinglsey Coman - a player who clearly wants out and doesn't feature that often for them - is 'worth' 100m that is not the market acting. That is the seller acting. No one will pay that price, so it's not a market price.
The market price is the one that is paid. Not the posturing on either side. Kinglsey Coman's price is not 100m. Because no one will pay that. It's like trying to sell a can of soda for $200. You can say you want $200 for it, but if no one is stupid enough to pay that, it's not a market price.
Similarly, if BVB want to get 95m or 120m of 400m for Sancho that's the German club's perogative. But his market price will be what he is sold for. And if he's not sold, than he doesn't have a market price, because BVB priced him out of the market.
Cracking night out though

Very unfriendly, stay in Cologne or Dusseldorf. Hardly anything to do, very little in the way of bars etc. The tour is good though and the German football museum is there which is worth a trip.
Thats not what people are saying. People are saying he's pretending to represent how Dortmund are feeling
Welcome to the summer of 2020. Nothing seems to have changed for some people as the rhetoric is verbatim.
This is the kind of thinking which is made people on here not want Halaand.
Bingo. Who cares if we have multiple talented young men in the team. Let thrm battle.
Thank you lads.
Hamburg and Cologne next! Last random place I went to Lubbenau/ Spreewald and it was really nice. Germany is great. So much more to see and do.
Anyway! Sanchoooo

Seems a fair enough free tbh. Hope we meet it and get this done
This is BVB trying to control the narrative for sure. It was widely reported as £80 million before. This is as good as done lads!
Everyday these nonsensical neverending random updates. It's just for clicks, there's no substance behind it.
We know that Sancho has the agreement that he can be sold, we know roughly the price Dortmund want, we know that they're negotiating the modalities but will probably not significantly lower the price further, we know they have said they want it done before mid July. And we know that United are close and working to get it done.
Beyond that, there's no ultimatum. And it also doen't matter how many bids there have been and how high exactly. It's just noise.
Soooooo we've gone from a mid july deadline to a take it or leave it offer in mid june?
This saga is just becoming a bit of a joke now. I'm pretty sure no one really knows whats happening and people are taking pot luck shots. I suppose it's just a case of throwing shite until something sticks?
Don't you think a better to way to look at it is the potential for the wings to be covered for the next 5-10 years, if not more, if they are both delivering at the level their talent suggests they should? You also seem to be transfixed on Sancho being a RW when he is an eclectic forward who can cover or switch between three positions, which is an invaluable quality to have. Sancho can play, or stand in for another two positions whilst Amad plays; it's not necessarily a case of one of obstructing the other. Sancho's tank is also not the greatest, so 70 minutes into hard games, it would not be a surprise to see him subbed off, and what a leap in quality it would be to have an Amad come on to further torment the opposition?
We have lacked an outstanding bench in an era where the strongest clubs have a conveyor belt of like-for-like talent and it's long overdue for us to be able to roll out interchangeable quality, not just up top, but across the pitch.
Rashford has been played into the ground and he is young and very much in need of better handling, and in particular, the time to recuperate and come back fully fit. Having Sancho and Amad at the club keeps others fresh. We are actually desperate in need of this kind of bolstering and the pay off should make itself known in the latter stages of a season - a point where, typically, we have a number of players flagging and a manager reluctant to ever take them off or rotate.
On top of all that, having a big signing come in affords Amad to develop in peace as scrutiny and the spotlight are placed elsewhere whilst he gets his minutes in and irons out his game ready to challenge for a starting spot the season after.
The short version of the above is Sancho coming in aids the entire front line and attacking midfield, not takes away from it.
Let’s be honest, we’re not ‘leaving it’ for the sake of 2m and neither are they risking it for the sake of 2m. This is done
