I just wanted to say no reason to worry, Sancho is a different player than Kagawa, Mikhi and Bastian, and coming in different circumstances as well.

ahh yes understood. yeh i think he will come good and wont be like them, at the same time was just making the point that weve actually been burnt 4 times in the past from bundesliga signings

This narrative makes me laugh. Cavani threw a massive hissy fit when Neymar wanted to take a penalty off him for PSG but you don’t hear anything about him sulking. Scholes once refused to play a game with the second team, but you don’t hear much about that. The amount of time that you and some of our fans spend hating on Martial is very weird, and top of that it’s dishonest. Ibra was brought in as a striker, Martial was playing on the left at the time, so they weren’t even in competition.

The incidents you mentioned are completely normal in football and they only happened once. Martial has been average to shit for the majority of his time at United. The season Zlatan signed was the season where Martial decided he was a 9 and not a left winger and that signing put his nose completely out of joint, he went as far as to change all his social media pictures off the back of Zlatan getting the number 9.

I don't get the relation between his 1st and 2nd sentence.

The 72.9 amount already includes the 9.74 mill. Ducker just added on the 1.46 as well as the 2.19 to bring the total up to 76.55.

EDIT: From Ducker's article
Although Dortmund will cover the cost of the sell-on clause out of the money they receive from United, the Old Trafford club will pick up the bill for the £3.65m of solidarity payments to City and Watford.

No worries,
I personally think we have a young star on our hands anyway and for about the price of £110 we have Sancho as well as Amad whereas if we coughed up the £108 last year who knows what might have happened.

Full agreement there, it's going to be real interesting to see how Diallo develops. I was just nitpicking really.
 
Whatever happen to the "best young players wont want to sign with Ole in charge"? :cool:

The thing is you’ve just come to this conclusion in your head. He didn’t speak on wanting to be a number 9 at that point as far as I’m aware, or even when Lukaku was brought in, so where do you get that idea? The other day you were saying he told Pogba to not forget about him when he goes to Madrid, and using it as an excuse to bash him :lol: It’s laughable.
And you can say that those incidents are normal but let’s be real, if Martial pulled what Scholes did you’d probably be burning his effigy.
It’s all well and good liking and disliking certain players, we all have our preferences but for some of you it’s obsessive, it’s like you can’t have a conversation without ripping into some players. Yet look how sensitive you get when someone criticises Rashford.
 
Hell yes. Get in. Great news to wake up to. Finally got the deal done. So add ons yes, or add ons no??? Hard to keep up. Information overload

thats been debunked by The Athletic themselves, apparently 7 was agreed last summer, subsequently of course Cavani has the shirt.

Obviously the only solution is to sell Martial so Cavani can be given the no. 9 shirt to avoid insulting him while vacating 7 for Sancho.

No add-ons according to reports, which is amazing all things considered. One of our clubs' better deals in recent times.
 
No, wait, I got it! Give Sancho the no. 9 shirt, then have him and Cavani pretend at the end of our next season's opening match that they're from different teams. They'll swap shirts. Boom. Sometimes my own genius...it scares me.

Final fee: just above 76 million Pounds

Wonder if they will ever examine a transfer fee as much as they have been doing here. I doubt sell-on clauses that the selling club agreed with former clubs will be added on top of the agreed price.

Atleast they got the £-€ exchange rate correct this time. BBC wouldn't even correct themselves when even the PSV president denied that the transfer fee for Depay was as high as reported by BBC.

My biggest take away from this is that Haaland is a physical freak of nature. What an absolute monster!

Sancho and Haaland are good friends.

In no way am I suggesting signing Sancho means signing Haaland down the road, but maybe I am a little bit.
