I wouldn’t, can’t answer for everybody else.
And I agree, Son ain’t worth that imo.
Yes, that’s true to an extent, but I do think both have the ability to go past defenders with pace and trickery from standing starts. Traore loves skinning left backs and dinking it in.
You make it sound like we’ve spent 24 hours a day locked in talks! The truth is we probably had discussions with intermediaries where Sancho agreed to join us but the fee was too high. We’ve probably outlined what we’d be happy to pay and are waiting to see if Dortmund back down. If they don’t then it’s no deal...
Ticking clock ? Quick get Jack Bauer on the line.
We will only sign him when the last muppet has thrown in the towel.
Why would palace sell zaha for £45m. Why would he come here? Palace would want 60m, traore more
If I was a scout at a major club you'd be damn sure I'd at least have one other option. I dont sit around and scout players all day on my free time, so I don't know better. You dont have to know how to do better to criticize, with that logic you can't criticize a song, a movie, a politician, a car or whatever. Call me an armchair expert because I expect my club to know better and act better.
Sorry for the nonsensical outburst, there's a lot of talk at the board level in this club and I'm just so fecking tired of it.
When he joins Liverpool/Chelsea eventually, and becomes one of the best players in the world, that would feel so good wouldnt it.
They won't be coming close to touching Bayern in the league this year but at least they get to feel high and mighty for a few months now after Bayern publicly belittling them about being a little brother selling club a few months ago.
At least for an extra few months anyway before he's fed up and decides to force a step up in his career.
would you? Why not for fun go through say the top 5 leagues , only one hundred clubs and look at the rw options for price and ability. United would only be looking in them as we need a first xi player
Even a Dodo has more life than this transfer.
Sign a central defender, left back and Loan a right winger.
Just try him again next year. Just fecking move on.

Dortmund: Sancho is staying
Caf: They bluffing and want united to pay the full amount
1113 pages later....
Caf: Okay, maybe they are serious after all
Hate to see it, this thread should not go into the classics but should burn in the depths of hell.

This place is going to become even more toxic until October 5th.
Sancho Liverpool 2021, anyone? 
This is going to happen next summer. Maybe Klopp's next big buy. They haven't spent much this or last summer I believe.
How people thought we'd break our transfer record during a pandemic with unprecedented losses on the way is beyond stupid. Yeah i'm sure they tried to negotiate the upfront part down to a reasonable amount, but when your owned and ran by con artists, you always start from a position of weakness. We weren't willing to stump up what they wanted and that was as plain to see from my point of view. A lot of you assumed Dortmund would fold, not a chance when he still has three years left on his contract. All the talk out out the club was about us being prudent during these unprecedented times. Don't know why you couldn't see that would be the case when you factor that in, along with our spending after qualifying for CL.
Like 800 pointless pages
Well, now it seems like they aren't actually selling.
I don't get why some are blaming and insulting Dortmund for NOT selling Sancho, when they would also be the first ones to bash them FOR actually selling him ("Still a selling club", "Won't even try to compete with Bayern" etc.).
If anything you should be mad at our board and no one else. Dortmund made it clear that they had a specific deadline, they named their price and our board simply didn't pay up. To make matters worse, they still gave away vibes of actually being able to lower the price etc., while Dortmund just closed the chapter (like they said all along) and didn't bother anymore.
This utter embarassment is solely on Woodward & Co.
Lots of toys will be thrown out of the pram
Toys or genuine completely justified anger?
I know. What level do you think Zaha or Traore would or could potentially take us to?
I dont have the energy to look through the top 5 leagues for a winger, so I have to accept that you are correct. I was wrong and I take I everything I said. The main point I was making though is if Sancho is worth it, or if we should have spent time looking elsewhere. I certainly feel like we could have put energy into sorting out other areas that are important too.
For the record, if Sancho do come, I will root for him and support him of course, but I'm worried for him, and for us, maybe the money could've been used more efficiently to and I'm worried we'll be left with a player with low confidence, a huge transfer fee with big shoes to fill. If he joins United you just know that he is going to be our star boy for a month before people start crucifying him for small mistakes. He can become a world-beater, but he is young and it's a major responsibility to play for United, especially in today's day and age. Just because Sancho might be the only option, it doesn't mean he's the right one.
Not even a whisper of another RW target which will at least give hope for someone else. Also means we have to be stuck on this thread till deadline.
Sickening to be going into another season without a RW.

Is this enough now for people to accept its not happening. It was never happening.
IT IS HAPPENING AND I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY
I read somewhere Zorc is leaving next year and wants a shot at winning the title this year. I guess Sancho is not going anywhere because no way they will be even close to Bayern without him
Wish the club would just move past this transfer and focus on strengthening elsewhere asap. For short term cover I’d take perisic for smalling in a swap. sell James next summer to help finance a renewed and hopefully decisive move for Sancho then.
I think the club did move on from this transfer, I think they moved on a long time ago
They've spent about £81 million on Thiago (£27 million with add-ons), Jota (£42 million) and Tsimikas (£12 million).
That's actually pretty much for those Corona times.
The failure is in our lack of a decent alternative. It looks like we’ve gambled it all on getting Sancho, failed, then been left with little time to find a replacement. Two weeks left to find someone, but right now it looks like a cock up to me.

They will. And I think we will pay.
I think we will stump it up when Smalling leaves. That's my punt.
Yeah, this transfer is dead in the water.
I don't think Dortmund would accept now even if it was bang on their £120 million estimation. It's too late in the window and the football has already begun. Game over.

We'll buy Sarr for £64 million during the last week of the window.
