I’d rather Pogba and Martial move on and we get in Grealish, as when Bruno is out we are Hamstrung, still think we are a creative player short and I’m happy to move Pogba preferably for Grealish which now looks highly unlikely.

I know. Its amazing how naive or stupid people are. How do they think businesses are run?
Saw on Sky that United have only offered £67m plus addons. Why are Dortmund getting held over a barrel when Sancho still had two years left on his contract?
Tbf you don't know much about business at 14 which is how old I imagine some are on here.
He is not the only one in here... I am amazed people actually feel we should just go and pay an asking price set by the selling club. It makes zero sense.
Judge needs to get the Fifa guys in, you up the fee by 6 million and BAM!! the CPU agrees to the deal
Sancho scored more goals while being hailed for his playmaking abilities, not his finishing. All competitions combined Sancho scored 16 and assisted 20 goals in 2964 minutes, Neto 5 goals and 6 assists in 2723 minutes. So all in all Sancho scores or assists every 83 minutes, Neto does that every 248 minutes, or in other words, Sancho is three times as productive. No wonder people are taking the piss out of you.
So you want us to get Neto (17 goals plus assists in last 2 seasons of PL) instead of Sancho? (83 goals plus assists in last 4 seasons of BL). I can certainly see which one is more experienced and established of the two. It's about time we try to sign some top quality players rather than investing in young unproven players.
Remember that Firmino, Aubameyang, KdB, Sane were also signed from Bundesliga and I think they are doing/did pretty well here. Just looking at flops in Mkhitaryan and Kagawa doesn't really help. There are hits and there are flops. Applies to every league.

We said that last year as well.... We'll end up paying close to what they want I'd imagine or we ain't getting him. Unless we're willing to wait another year but that would be ridiculous.
Including add ones.
They don't, thats why than can hold on to their valuation of Sancho
Let's threaten to sell Pogba to Bayern if Dortmund don't play ball. We'll see how smart they are when they're 40 points behind Bayern.
Of course they do. They posted a £43.9m loss in the 19/20 season and their financial report that year revealed that part of their business model is making a significant sale each summer. That didn’t happen last summer and they’ve just had another season with gate receipts almost non existent.
There is absolutely no question whatsoever that Dortmund want a cash injection this summer. Will they go into financial difficulty? Maybe not but it’s not how they want to operate.
3 goals is a big difference when you’re talking about low scorers. Only 23 players managed 8 Bundesliga goals last year, while 69 managed at least 5.
He’s doing it in a weaker league for the second best team in it who plays attacking football, whereas Neto is doing it for a defensive team in a harder league, but you have posters just trying to make fun of his stats I don’t even think they’ve watched him play.
If £11m is the gap then it'll be done soon, no chance we walk being that close.
It'll probably be settled around the £80m mark in the end.

£90m is a pretty big price to find out if a player is a flop or not I’d rather be sure that we are getting a player that will produce.
Big difference when you’re talking about playing for Wolves too.
If all goes well with this deal, they might be more inclined to deal with us again on Haaland next season 
Sorry to break it to you but there are no guarantees with any transfer. You can't be 'sure' about a player.
reducing Sancho to his number of goals makes no sense at all. I wonder if some here have actually seen him play.
I suppose I’m just cautious because we’ve been burnt so many times before in recent history with huge transfers, I hope we do sign Sancho and he turns into a Messi .2.
There's this article on the Daily Mail claiming we'll hand Sancho a mammoth wage at about £350k weekly by Luke Augustus, if true this would surely cause Pogba's camp to demand silly money.
Lukaku and Sanchez were supposed to be "sure" things, and they "proved themselves in the league" as well. I don't need to remind anyone about what followed.
Nonsense. Only top and established players get such type of money in Premier League clubs.
Though Sancho is earning £190k now in Borussia. I suspect it'll be something like £250k.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was 350k there has to be a reason he’s so eager to leave and we have atrocious history with contracts.
No joke.. I offered £40,000,000 for a player a couple of days ago. They asked for about £48,300,000 and then as a laugh I offered £40,000,001 and they acceptedJudge needs to get the Fifa guys in, you up the fee by 6 million and BAM!! the CPU agrees to the deal
Fair enough. I think Sancho is one of the best young footballers in world football and players like Raphinha and Neto don't have the same quality.
Why are you assuming this? We've often paid large fees for players - see Rio and Rooney. If we believe in the players talent nothing wrong with paying a large fee. At the same if we don't agree with the valuation again nothing wrong with walking away. This whole narrative that we are getting played is just fans being negative, really.
If we don't sign him I will disagree with the club's decision and be critical. But it doesn't mean that we've been toyed with by the genius club Dortmund or some shit like that.
This'll be Pogba's last big contract at 28,Riola will be looking for silly money Sancho or no Sancho.
Majority of the negative comments on him stem from the fact their opinion is based on a few CL and England games.
The same people skeptical about Sancho's numbers must have been skeptical in the exact same way when we signed Bruno who's numbers were also high at Sporting. It's not everytime players who seem to be of lesser quality are unearthed gems. If you're a good player you're a good player and we'd be foolish to turn him down for scrubs like Dembele due to this exaggerated fear he may flop.
The good ol' Saurez clause
Should have gone for a proven PL player like Adam Lallana.
Good points. Indeed, it seems to me the risks connected with Dembele are much greater than you get with Sancho. There are always risks, people tend to get hung up on specific ones, as if they are the only ones that exist and as if other players are risk-free.
When you've proven what Sancho has proven, at such an early age and in one of Europe's best leagues, he doesn't seem much of a risk to me.
