Nope, this train won’t stop for nothin’
Thought this was the Kim Kardashian sex tape for a second
i really hope you’re right
The lack of interest in alternative RW s makes me think that we will eventually pay up
That’s more like a micro machine entering the chunnel.
Although those quotes sound very damming and if it was anyone else I’d probably believe them. I just feel like if we show them the money they’ll sell. Even with all this chest thumping.
I think we need a ebay type 3 offer system for Ed, and if none are accepted only "buy it now" is available.
I can imagine he's started low and has been increasing 1m per day since, and by Oct 5th will be around 90m..

And I’m not saying we should buy him. However the idea that we can find a hidden gem, certainly of quality enough to be first xi is just impossible nowadays.
for me the only sensible alternative is perisic and buy a chance/lb
Hidden Gem? With our impatient fan Base? Forget it.
Oh this would be brilliant, imagine Dortmund put him on eBay with a make an offer that is only accepted when it hits the magic number.
That would be a top wind up from Dortmund.
Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello!
The current manager hasn’t signed anything of that sort since he arrived though.Sarr
Will be another Fellaini type panic signing because the manager pushed for it.
I hope so, but he's been putting pressure on Woodward and co to get him a right winger (not Sancho specifically) and the only reasonable one we can get is Sarr right now.
If we weren't so fecking incompetent we could have probably got Dembele in on loan, given him a chance. Traore, Maximilian, Zaha are also some interesting options.
We never had the intention to pay for Sancho, people were just desperate to convince themselves this was on, when it died a very long time ago. United had no interest of coming out to deny the rumours due to the backlash they'd receive and the intrigue the transfer was garnering. They've spoken in the past about how important that social media movement is to them

Yup, and now everyone knows how desperate we are for leaving it so late. If we do bring someone in, we're gonna get rinsed with the fee.
Yep, more importantly though, the board have made their intentions and ambition crystal clear now though
Trouble is dembele seems to be only available as a direct buy for sancho money or On a “must buy if he completes x games and you pay his 300k”.
the others are all going to cost 60-70m which seems poor value
That'd be what a normal person might do. And Sarr becomes the rotation option when/if Sancho comes later on.
Trouble is, narcissists like Woodward have an extreeeeeeeeeemly difficult time changing tack. Mainly because it involves them 'being wrong', which can never ever ever be allowed to happen.
The good Ed.
I'm not so sure. Dembele is on huge wages, Barca are struggling for cash. Keeping a player on such amounts of money, when it's clear his body doesn't react well to the lack of intensity in training etc. which is constantly causing muscular injuries isn't the brightest idea. Had we approached earlier, I do think they would have been open to negotiating, even if that was a loan with an obligation to buy, something Dortmund clearly have little interest in negotiating with us. The same with the other players. They will quote us an arm and a leg now though as we'd rather feck all our plans than accept we're wrong, thus leaving it so late
I’m saying this now, if we don’t get him this summer, he’ll sign for one of our rivals next year. We won’t progress this year with this group of players whereas our rivals will get stronger. Why would he sign with us then when we seem to have shown sheer incompetence and lack of ambition in getting him this year?
Sancho: 35 goals in 98 Dortmund appearances = 0.36 goals per game average
Son: 89 goals in 232 Spurs appearances 0.38 goals per game average
Far from not being in the same region, Son is actually slightly higher in the same region ... with most of the games concerned played in a tougher league. Sancho is of course very young, but your stats argument doesn't hold water.
I believe that's exactly what will happen, they have such an easy excuse with Covid, but we all know if it wasn't Covid, there'd be another excuse. I ain't buying the Covid excuse when the club was bought on ridiculous debt and nothing has been done to address the debt in two decades. If they were really so scared of financial debt and implications, they would not have been operating on scary amounts of debt for approaching two decades, they would not be intent on still taking out their dividend payments, which I guarantee you they will still be able to justify despite the pandemic
Imagine the sheer boost in momentum if Sancho comes. This signing needs to happen.
I too think this would be the case if we weren’t signing him this season. Luckily we will.
Regret my contribution to this thread. The worst saga in my time here.
Definitely. Utterly joyless.
Shut up.
I gave up on this happening weeks ago but why the feck have we not moved on to other targets earlier instead of scrambling about in the the last couple weeks. We’ll probably end up paying over the odds for someone who’s nowhere near Sancho quality.
This needs another club coming in for him to get UTD of their arse!
Because it’ll more than likely get done. I don’t fecking know why we play this long term game with marquee signings but it seems like this is the normal.
Make no mistake, we table what they want Dortmund will roll over and take one and even then I don’t think this deal is in doubt. Strange
The club breifed that they wont renege on their offer like they did with Maguire so it's really a poker game. Lots of pressure on United though.
They’d give us more threat from the right, especially Traore, and would leave more money to be spent on a center back, so I suppose we could then potentially push for the top 2 spots.
This whole saga has been a lot of huff and puff without anything of actual substance. I suppose thirty seconds before the window closes we’ll get ‘breaking news’ that the deal is “unlikely at this stage”.
Not posting the ed woodward 'putting his house on sale' tweet as it's on the other thread, but I wonder if it's really to do with the hate he's been getting off Sancho
