I'm not trying to be positive I'm simply acting accordingly to the overwhelmingly positive news on the transfer we're seeing literally every day at the moment.

I'm actually pretty jealous, Sancho will be a massive, massive, dare I say transformative, signing, he is such an enormous talent.

And if it comes at less than three figures in millions, it will be cheaper than anyone could have anticipated pre-covid, too. It's hard to say steal at such figures, but if we think of some other transfers in that dimension, it's safe to say Sancho is good value for money..

Some of the megaclubs dropping the ball here in letting him move without too much interference, if Barca knew what's good for them they'd let Messi leave and use the money on Sancho.
Real need exactly that kind of player, too.

High praise.

You love to see it.

When we agree a bid price that they'll actually accept, would be my guess.

The thing is we know exactly what they want, it was the exact same last summer they’ve set a price and it’s up to us to meet it. The only difference this time is the price has been reduced from last year which gives us even more incentive to get it done.

I'd imagine it's not really about the total volume, but about instalments. Dortmund will want the majority of the fee up front, United will obviously try to pay in instalments and turn a part of the fee into add-ons. That stuff isn't always straightforward and takes time.

We specialise in complicating these sort of situations seemingly. Still early in the summer though, I'd like to think we'll see signs we've changed our ways or at least improved at handling these sorts of things.

You're kinda reacting emotionally to rumors while Sancho is a Dortmund player with absolutely no channel of negotiations opened... so far. :smirk:

The real news for me is we signed Amad & Pellistri instead.

It doesn't mean he's right but your tweet is being negative for the sake of being negative. How is Romano "indirectly" pointing out anything? He's simply reporting whatever info he has.
 
I really really hope we can get this deal done early and move on to other targets. This summer is crucial. We can't afford to slip up.

...and the info is slowly turning into mantra. Aren't you bored of this ? It's like listening to the same summer song everyday for two seasons in a row now.

Let's be positive, Sancho is coming to United, probably in this decade.

This is pathetic. If we haven’t signed him already by the first game of the euros, we’re a laughing stock. Any sort of strategic planning from a well run football club would have had this announced the day after the europa or champions league final (see Liverpool and Konate signing).

Signing a player like Konate and signing Sancho are completely different.

I'm curious to understand how you conclude that whatever is being said means Sancho isn't coming? I can understand you are bored of the saga, but how do you conclude Utd aren't signing him?

And just because you're trying to be negative out of an opinion formed from thin air and self loathe/pity over Utd doesn't make you right either

I agree. He’s so good. It’s just the transfer has taken so long and it is so obvious that everyone has lost their appetite for it. We are like fighters in the 10th round slugging it out. It was the same with Bruno. The fans were just sick of it by the end. I think this summer is going to be a very good one. Any summer where we can add one of the best youngsters in the world is a good summer and I think there’s more to come. I also feel like it puts us in with a stronger shout with Haaland if we want him next summer. Sancho and Ole here and I think he comes if we don’t implode and drop out of top 4 or something.

You can understand I'm bored and yet you cannot conclude of obvious reasons of me being bored ?

I'll tell you this, if the price will be lowered to Bruno Fernandes fee, then maybe there's realistic chance of getting him, though Fernandes deal while being delayed happened in the end, we're still splashing huge chunk on one player in a damaged economy.

I just need more juice to be positive. Perhaps I will be as I root for this deal to happen.

It is quite strange how quiet the Dortmund chatterbox Zorc has been thus far. Very very suspicious.

He's too busy planning his next Twitter zinger to appeal to his Dortmund/Bayern fanbase.

Everyone knows a guy like him. "Hey, did you see who United are going to sign? Some guy called Sancho"

You fecking moron, I have been refreshing the Sancho thread day in day out all summer. Just feck off!

Well that is what I wish to say anyways :)

I'm right as long this deal isn't happening and it isn't.

I want this deal to happen though, even though it's not happening. It means I'm quite positive, even though I'm not right.

That I don't believe. Don't see you being favourites for Haaland's signature unless you have a head-turning season.

Sancho doesn’t do our chances any harm at all but yeah he’ll probably have the Spanish clubs and Chelsea/Bayern in for him too. Big big money and probably a very difficult deal to do even for the canniest of operators. If we wait until the window opens to get going on it we definitely won’t be getting him… if Madrid or Barca want him I reckon that’s where he goes.

All bets are off with Haaland as he'll be able to choose everyhwere but yeah, if I had to bet I'd say one of Real or Barca.
