We kept telling you it’s happening but little had faith! The time has arrived! It’s a big week! Chooo chooo!
If so, I doubt they would. We will wait till after the Euro's so we can give him a huge introduction.
I reckon the England staff would be able to fulfill the fitness requirements though?
This is true. Forgive me for having zero faith though.
Wasn’t it just BILD who said that and today have said we’ve had a bid turned down.
People complain if we try to negotiate a lower figure.
People complain if we don't pay what they want and get it done.
People complain if we pay too much.
People complain we take too long.
People complain if we don't sign the right player.
People complain we are bad negotiators.
Should I go on !!!!
The problem is Unted's transfer news is front page stuff. Everything is played out in the public eye. No one bothers too much about City, Chelsea transfers. Hence we seem to be inefficient. Goes with the terrortory I guess.

Hmm, I'm pretty convinced that Dortmund are looking to recoup approx £100m including add-ons, it's a large gap to plug.
It’s such a shame that Citeh are going to get 10-15M from this deal. But hopefully we get this deal done this time.
I don't see us letting this out if we weren't sure it would get done fairly soon
I'm not too bothered. City have whatever budget they want. Sales won't affect them.
If Pep wants someone badly enough they'd buy them regardless
Get him or not, we'll have a moment of clarity very soon and in that regard, it's awesome news.
This will be done soon. Not a big difference.
Seems like we did put in a bid last summer after all.
For anyone saying this will be wrapped up very soon I highly doubt it.
The Euro's start tomorrow and England play on Sunday. I cant see a transfer of this size being announced during a tournament and while the player is on duty.
The best we can hope for is a deal is "in place" and ready to be announced AFTER the Euro's.....So mid July.

That’s like standing in the middle of a rainstorm caring about the few droplets that lands on the pavement after you sneeze. It doesn’t matter. The pavement is drenched in water and so is City in cash.
Yeah, this is happening.
That seems a much more likely valuation than what our Bundesliga brigade was suggesting some pages ago.
Will end up at €85-90 incl addon with payment over 3-4 years.
I think this will happen now, just standard negotiations but we will ultimately agree to a deal. With Sancho in our attacking depth is quite good. Martial, Rashford, Cavani, Greenwood, Sancho, Amad provides us with depth and lots of pace as well.
This is England we're talking about though.
Dortmund aren't mugs, if they say €95 I'm minded to believe it.
Gonna happen soon I feel 
Euros might delay the announcement though. Maybe we'll announce agreed fee and then just say the remaining stuff will be sorted after the euros.

Have you never negotiated before?
There is one thing I like about Dortmund - you don't walk into an ambush. You know exactly what you are gonna get. They are awful to do business with - but fair.
You don't haggle with BVB. You come up with what they want, the deal is usually done.
There's feck all difference in that really. Should be wrapped up by 11 tonight
Barca may not agree.
Funny if its true... I kind of remember last summer we did bid 50m for Sancho, so this year we are getting more serious with 60m bid!
Are you still living in 2020?
Exciting signing for you lot.
Or maybe I’m naively optimistic...
I hope that their rep can’t be seen to drop further and we get a real signal of intent. Then hopefully they find some money to sort out Old Trafford, it bloody needs it that’s for sure.
So, we will keep increasing our bid until we get to the €90 + €5 add ons that they want and that will be that. It won't be much of a negotiation.
It’s all the monitoring and considering we’ve been doing!
