Players have played in past also before moving. No big deal in that.
While I agree that BVB wouldn't weaken their own hand by not playing Sancho, him playing, having fun and saying after game that he is staying, will tell a lot mate.
I don't understand this at all. What does it even mean?
If they want to keep him, they keep him. There's nothing to be confident about, is it? If the offer is good enough, they obviously want to sell him. So... They're confident they won't get €120m? If they get an offer of €120m, they're still able to decline it, and again remain "confident"? The same goes for £200m, doesn't it?
Confident, because they have told Sancho that IF utd (or anybody) offers 120 million euros he can leave.
Translation, they are confident that Utd won't be making an offer for 120 million euros and player will stay at BVB.
We seemingly have agreed to the 120M price they are asking for but not the structure and type of add ons they want? I can see us making a few more modifications in that case before calling it a day
Nope, Utd haven't bid that amount and have let every newspaper known that they think 120 mil euros ''in this climate is not reasonable''.
At first they offered 60+20 mil euros in addons for BVB, also offered wage cut for Sancho.
Last report was that they offered BVB 90 million euros. If it was only about instalments and add-ons then deal would be done already.
We would look foolish when we go in for him next summer and pay the exact 120m demanded by Dortmund.
FFS we need a DOF.
Judging on how our deals have fared so far, we would go and offer 150 million next year.
Maguire deal could have been done 1 year earlier and for 60 million. This is how football market works. Edward still has no idea how football works. If player is young, has lots of potential and plays in the Champions League, where he can showcase his talent to the world to see, his price will only go up.
What does a DOF have to do with the Glazers in theory not wanting to pay up? It would make no difference.
Makes a lot of difference. Good DoF would see that when Glazers are telling you that your budget for RW is 60 million and other club wants 120 million, then brief the press that the deal is not going to happen and move on in 1 week. We, on the other hand are chasing (chasing
, probably just keeping fans running around telling them that ''wanted Neymar, but didn't get him, sorry so we wont be buying anybody) the best player in the market for 3 months and not backing the manager.
£90 million paid over 3 seasons.
£5 million after 50 appearances for the club.
£5 million after scoring 30 goals.
£8 million after 20 England appearances.
See it’s not hard Woodie.Just make the Add ons achievable.
See mate, you could do better job than that bloke called Edward Woodward. I think BVB would still reject it since i believe they want instalments not add-ons
“You don’t track a player for 2/3+ years, agree terms with the player, know what his parent club want for the player, and then walk away last minute. Until Fabrizio Romano says that a deal is off, then I’m still confident that Jadon Sancho will be a Man United player this season.”
Saw this tweet, pretty sums up my thoughts so far on the Sancho situation

Yes but that is exactly what our club does. They don't understand the football market. If you are running a business, u see a sign that someone wants 1 million for his piece of land. You go in and try to negotiate it for lower price. We have never bought a piece of land or come to think of it nearly anything for the asking price. There is always a small buffer on the asking price.
BUT in the football world there are agents, players who want to move. Usually player/agent will agree with the club that if x amount of offer comes in then they have to accept it and let the player leave, gentlemens agreement. With Mkhitaryan BVB tried to ask for 60 mil or smth and that fat pizzaguy broke the window, or chair, or window with the chair, or smth like that, so the price came down to where it ended up being. Edward had nothing to do with those deals. Zlatan, Mikhi were Mino Raiolas work, as was Pogba. Woodward signed the check but the negotiating was done because of Raiola negotiating with Juve.
In this case Edward is far from reality. You chase Sancho for 3+ years, then offer him a wage cut and 60 mil for 120 mil player. No wonder that every club hates him. There was such a respect for our club when Fergie and Gill/Kenyon were running things. Remember when Fellaini had release clause for 24 million? Edward Woodward went to Goodison, offered 27 million for Fellaini and Baines?
''Here you go lads, i heard that Man Utd can take advantage of little clubs'' Then he negotiated for 3 months and came back with Fellaini for 27,5 million good ol' British pounds. Maybe he just likes to be taken advantage of?
