It's a thing that allows clubs that develop academy players to get a portion of future transfers as long as the player is active. Don't remember how long it lasts though so uncertain if it's entire career. Sancho was part of both Watford and Man City's academy so they get a cut of the transfer fee that Dortmund would get.
When we signed Pogba from Juventus, his previous club Le Havre would have gotten a small cut of that from Juventus.
That will not happen this summer.
I fully expect signing a replacement for Edi to be the focus next summer and possibly either a DM/CM (whichever we don't manage to get this summer after sales because feel a bit more optimistic of getting one)
My comments were for next summer.
A big injury or succession of niggling ones to Cavani is a concern of course. That is why personally I wouldnt be selling Martial this summer anyway. I think he is definately a good option as a back up striker despite his consistency problems and I would expect some sort of assimilating Greenwood as a striker over the course of a season. Week in week out without Cavani would be a concern, but that goes for most top sides in the league without there main striker. As a trio of options for one postion, I actually think in the short term at least, we are pretty strong, its next summer when Martial should be sold and Cavani probably moves on a new striker is definately needed regard less of whether or not Greenwood comes to the fore over this season as a striker. Haaland or Kane would have been great this summer, but in terms of priorities and the probable prices, I think its right down the list of what we should do at the moment
Oh I see. Completely misread that then. Was seeing where you wanted Kane/Haaland more than another player and I got mixed it up. No worries.
now renew Pogba and bag Camavinga and I'll start thinking we're a serious club again
Pogba is almost certainly leaving and tbh there isn't really a spot for him in in starting 11 long term. We've replaced him and moved on as a club.
Or because he played for City? Can't see that being a factor, mind.
In a few years time
Greenwood/Hugill
Rashford/Sancho - Hannibal/Shola - Sancho/Amad
Camavinga - Bellingham
we have a very poor midfield, how have we replaced him?McFred are not good enough to start, period!
so we are paying Dortmund for same amount of money Arsenal paid for Pepe? TOLD you Dortmund aredespera te after they recorded 100M loss due to covid, they NEED sancho's money.

I made some comments about being underwhelmed by his England performances but can't say I'm unhappy about this
I hope this means Ole will reign in Bruno's position and ask him to drop deeper to support the midfield more. Hopefully with Sancho as a playmaker/goal scorer on the right, we don't have to play this suicidal and ill fitted 4-2-4 formation at times.

You guys write fantiction with some much conviction. Bet you thought you were Tolkien when you were typing this post

And Pogba isn't any good in a two wlth Oles 4231.
He just doesn't fit our formation, maybe if we played 433 he'd slot in but that's just not Oles style
Ronnie and Rooney were good mates and Tevez was as well, it has nothing to do with where they end up playing.
I think Woodward did his financial due diligence last year and figured that Dortmund would be desperate for money and they thought they would be more than willing to negotiate.
So either Dortmund thought the following financial year would improve for the better (and were very wrong) or/and Woodward knew they would be more flexible the following year.
He called their bluff then.
Thats why last year's bravado, bluster and name-calling turned out to what it was, a front. They must have known that they could squeeze Dortmund down quite a bit because Dortmund was completely silent through the process this summer.
Sancho first home game with potentially a decent size OT crowd....cannot wait.
I mean, it's not the be all and end all, but it a factor.

Don't you think it's sort of crazy to aim to basically change our whole attacking engine at once? We have one glaring hole in RW, but other than that our attack is where we're best. I'd way prefer to focus on 2 or 3 players in priority positions. Giving Cavani a new contract just before we buy a £120m striker reeks of the type of poor planning that derails squad harmony and that we have been criticising the board for for ages.
I think Haaland will stay at Dortmund this summer. If we get this summer right with a cdm and a cb to follow Sancho that feels like our team is actually being built in a considered, intelligent way (and it's been a long time since we've been able to say that). Then we will be really well placed to come in for Haaland (who I think is a better fit for us than Kane) when Cavani leaves, and we can also potentially look at replacing pogba when we aren't also trying to fill gaps all over our first team.
Thanks.
Your missus liking the area would be a big factor and that has nothing to do with football
I believe Tevez primarily hung out with Park and Evra.
He was always hugging Rooney and Ronnie
Yes, I don't think we're buying a striker in this summer in any case. Sancho the player, just doesn't excite me that much. Not sure why, other than the suspicion he may wind up a Depay like disappointment a few years from now.
He would have to start on the bench wouldn't he??Sancho first home game with potentially a decent size OT crowd....cannot wait.
Putting deadline in order to get more money but ended up getting less money the year after. Good plan. Bezt club in da world at dealing with transfer.
i think his dad wants him playing at Madrid but you know City will be in for him and offering a shit ton of cash
Yes xDo ya think Marcus got a slap on the wrist for essentially confirming it last night?
Wow. He's back.
Both are winners who won’t put up with anything less. It would be a very positive move but I’d say the money will be going back into the striker kitty for next summer. Gotta be Haaland once Cavani bows out. I seriously doubt we can afford Kane along with the players we already seem to be in for this summer. That would be 300 million with Cavani and Greenwood also needing games.
Great news! Final-fecking-ly!
Big day today!
Is he good? Why isn't he getting a game for England?
because southgate doesn't like self-expressive players that will take risks.
Pogba rarely plays in midfield, and when he does, we are horribly unbalanced. We've replaced him with Bruno as an attacking midfielder and then his added creativity and build up that he provided out wide has now been replaced by Sancho. So yeah...in the 4231 that Ole plays, with Rashford/Greenwood and Sancho wide, Bruno as the 10, Pogba just doesn't work in midfield.
McFred are not good enough to start, period!
