we haven’t been fleeced it says it will be paid in variables - aka - add ons etc etc - the add ons/variables would be a mixture of terms that are achievable and not so easy to achieve aka golden boot/ballon d’or etc etc

Fame!
By the little that has come out about Amad this season was all about him getting used to being here, learning the language, getting used to the speed of the game and perhaps putting a little onto his frame.
He was never going to get minutes this season. I fully expect him to feature in the cups next season.
It’s an extortionate amount of money, but you have to remember the knock on effects of a purchase like Sancho. Cavani needs replacing in a year and, although we have Greenwood waiting , imagine how attractive it will be to any centre forward in world football having Rashford, Sancho, Bruno supporting you for the next decade.
That's the positive attitude we've been looking for!
The big price has nothing to do with Sancho.
The big price always happens because of United pretending they are the biggest club in the world due to the number of fans we had and money they were making at one point.

That’s the spirit
Some people just want to be negative for the sake of it don't they
My concern when he joins us is less him and more whether AWB will stunt his impact. I really think we need someone like Trippier or Aaron's to support his attacks on overlaps against the smaller sides.
I'm hopeful they'll both benefit from each other. It's not as if AWB has had someone as good as Sancho on that wing in front of him while he's been with us.
I don’t think AWB’s long term position is secure anyway, needs to buck his ideas up if he wants to continue here.
I don't think AWBs offensive input is that much down to the quality infront of him. He's just a player that lacks attacking knowhow.
So still nothing new?
Seems like people are arguing over his price or wages or whether AWB is good enough to play on the same side.
First off its probably best to wait till he's signed and we actually know the fee and his wages before saying anything.
Now AWB is the long term future of UTD, any blind person can see he's got alot better, lets get Sancho signed and see how the team plays before trying to get rid of someone who plays every game.

I don't really rate AWB overall, think he's average beyond having a good tackle on him, I'm trying to be positive though! It's Sancho Saturday.
He had a great season.
That's a bit exaggerated, interest rates have been low for a long time. If anything United's debts are/were more expensive because the majority of the financing occurred before interest rates plummeted, although I imagine there's been debt restructuring along the way.
Probably true to an extent, but I find it unlikely that Dortmund haven't/won't take out a loan to cover their losses regardless of player sales. They're averse to debt but I think from a business perspective it wouldn't be wise to make their liquidity that dependent on cash influx from selling Sancho. After all transfer income won't be a lump sum but paid over 4 or 5 years if reports are true, so in either case they can't really avoid taking out loans and there's nothing wrong with that in a situation like this.
No he most certainly has not.
We'll always have to pay top dollar for players so ultimately, pay slightly over the odds but get this done and dusted so we can plan our future transfers and get the players in ready for pre season. Sancho will be a big, big signing for us. Massive improvement to our forward line.
Everyone saying the same thing about things possible being wrapped up next week.
Eckner in particularly claims that the feeling at Dortmund right now is that things could be finalized by then with the club seemingly willing to accommodate and meet most of their demands
Disagree strongly.
Fair enough, we're both entitled to our opinions.
How much is a fair price for a player who has had 2 seasons of being one of the most productive players in a top 5 European league by the age of 21?
I'd say he had a very good reason and if that's the level of his lows, his highs are gonna be absolutely insane. He's still so young.
It's "Wan". Easy mistake to make, though.
Haha yes fair play!
I disagree with you disagreeing
He’s not at the top level, he can tackle and that’s about it. He’s lacks game intelligence and sometimes doesn’t seem present in games. Was it Everton when it ended 3-3 and for one of the goals he simply wasn’t paying attention and they scored down his side? It was completely his fault. Then in the interview after the game, he was asked about the goal, and he had NO idea what the interviewer was talking about. Looked like he’d just been asked to explain quantum mechanics.
It‘s stuck with me since, because he should have known from the moment it happens that it was his mistake, yet even after the game he was completely oblivious to the situation. I don’t think he even realised he’d made a mistake. So it’s clear to see how sometimes he looks like he’s daydreaming during a game while the opposition coast past him.
Personally? 80m euros would be fair in todays financial climate post covid. Think we're probably overpaying by 10m but that's United tax for you.
But then the transfer market was borderline insane pre covid. It needs some kind of regulation on it before it goes totally bonkers.
The levels of production he's shown so far in his career paint quite the picture of the kind of player he might end up being.
His best season so far of 20 goals and 20 assists when he was 20 years old, matches a legend like Robben's best ever senior season of 21 goals 17 assists, when he was a Ballon D'or candidate
It's on boys.
Next week. That does ring a bell.
Yep - until there’s something more official I’m just not believing any of it again
Big week next week.
I hope its on the Sancho transfer bingo sheet, we've nearly got a full house.
Just get the god damn deal done and get it over with please. Keep on delaying and before you know it someone else will sign him.
can’t imagine this happens the day before or the day of the opening match at the Euros.
