I've not read this, but I'm guessing this is about that £65m clause? Why the hell didn't United just tell Dortmund they could not negotiate until that was dealt with? It's hardly a secret.
How do you know they didn’t?

I bet it correlates to outlook on life. I try to live my life as always 'glass half full'.There's a weird cult on here who are determined to be negative and wanting everyone to believe that this deal won't happen. Maybe it won't, but why are people so insistent on making others believe it won't happen?? Especially when all media reports say the same thing, we are apart in valuation but the deal is still alive. It's not like Griezmann or Dybala or De Ligt when the reliable sources shut them down as soon as our pursuit ended.
Sadly to say, think we have more of a chance of seen the original line up of Journey getting back together than this happening.Don't stop...believing...hold on to that feeling..
You can’t do things like that when you are listed - you have to be overt otherwise things can be classed as ‘insider trading’....a deal like this will affect the share priceYou could also have the deal agreed and ready to sign the papers on the 1st October. You don't have to wait until September 30th to put in your offer.
How do you know they didn’t?
What investors know and whats actually on the books of accounts and what should be displayed on the books of accounts are two very very different things though
Covenants can be easily waived though especially during a pandemic and if you have shown you have the finances to eventually pay it back which Utd defo do its not as big a crisis as people are making it out to be the covenant thing was speculation to give Utd more negative PR
Yay! Nicely done!You've turned me 'on' mate..
Now it's time for a title change.
If the fee United want to pay is still below what Dortmund want, how is this still alive? Going in more circles

Believers like myself believe that the former isn't true which is why they latter isn't required.Not happening, been dead since Dortmunds deadline. Even if we bid the asking price (we won't), Sancho won't request a transfer so it's all for nothing. We should've moved on ages ago if we knew we couldn't afford him, that's what the fan annoyance is. Its fine if we couldn't afford Sancho or chose to not spend 100m+ on him. But thats not an excuse for ignoring all the other alternatives.

Likelihood is we will bid and its shy of what Dortmund want.If we bid the asking price why would Sancho need to request a transfer? Odd logic. We give them what they want, they'll pack his bags.

Why did this make me laugh so muchI thought my wife was joking when she said she was gonna leave me because I wouldn’t stop singing “I'm a believer” but then i saw her face

Choose a side man!!I love the arrogance of posters thinking they can definitely say this is on or off when they have utterly no idea on what's going on.
There's been no change since the start of August - we want him but only for approx 90m and probs with installments.I love the arrogance of posters thinking they can definitely say this is on or off when they have utterly no idea on what's going on.
It's not. Brief is basically us saying "hey Zorc, if you've changed your mind and are interested in approx 70m + installments, you know where we are".If the fee United want to pay is still below what Dortmund want, how is this still alive? Going in more circles
those who have "carped on", have witnessed Woodward at work for many years now... that's why, Dr FreudI bet it correlates to outlook on life. I try to live my life as always 'glass half full'.
I suspect those who've constantly carped on about how this deal cant happen and we are idiots for not seeing it are 'glass half empty' type folk.
Regarding the bolded, This theory has been shot down really with the latest on fans not being allowed back in stadiums and how much of an impact that will have.There's been no change since the start of August - we want him but only for approx 90m and probs with installments.
BVB have been very consistent that its 108m upfront or bust. I guess we'll find out if they were bluffing but to me it's clear that unless we pay the asking price then this simply doesn't happen. Oh and another big club will pay in excess of 108m next summer - and Dortmund know this.

Given you are so certain, please tell me who this other club is and where they will find £108m +There's been no change since the start of August - we want him but only for approx 90m and probs with installments.

I don't see why they'd fold to our low ball demands at this stage. Player is happy to stay, they've been very vocal about how they're happy to retain him, he has a long contract and his value will not drop below what we're supposedly offering.Regarding the bolded, This theory has been shot down really with the latest on fans not being allowed back in stadiums and how much of an impact that will have.
I think their best option (for the biggest amount of cash) is to sell to United now for close to what they were asking originally.
