Yes this is definitely an attention grab and/or financial quarter thing.

Just love to see it tbh.
Happy Sancho week everyone!
Either we break the internets or go down in flames. Looking forward to it

United knew it would be rejected, so they likely denied it. The next bid (which im sure will happen) could well be accepted, which United will say is the only bid they've ever submitted.
More likely they’re delaying payment until as late as possible the same way people don’t pay their bills until the day they’re due. Whatever the reason it’s certainly not a footballing decision.
Everyone getting excited about the bid, the British journalist claiming bid gone it this week, Farbizio and others claiming it is the same bid that was put in August. If that is the case, do not see why there is no much noise around this.
Wonder if we expect a second bid today or if it's expected tomorrow 
If we match Dortmund's asking price then Woodward need to explain this nonsense when Sancho could have helped us win the Crystal Palace game.
Fully agree what nonsense we try and save every penny on every transfer when we always pay the asking price in the end cant teach an old dog new tricks as the saying goes
If we need Sancho to beat CP then he is not the one that has to explain it.
Love the Muppets on here. Rate them better than Sancho. Wouldn’t mind some wall posters of top muppets. Let’s have em lads. feck the players. Real life heroes.
Honestly not arsed anymore. Depends whatever else we do. This guy has been built up so much, no way he is living up to it. Pogba lesson learned. I know it doesn’t prove... etc and glad Woowoo is actually getting off his arse (Not sure he is)
might take up stamp collecting, train spotting, twitching, or petrol bombing cnuts like Martin Atkinson (he’d probably enjoy that so I’d target his goldfish) Mike Dean, Aaron Connolly.

Will be extremely happy to be proved wrong! I'm getting increasingly bipolar about this transfer
Absolutely. We got thrashed as well.
A second rejection you meanWonder if we expect a second bid today or if it's expected tomorrow
Really? He never had to explain it when we won 1 out of Moyes’ first 3 games and made his only new signing on deadline day.
Or when we failed to win any of our first 3 games in 14/15 and were playing Tom Cleverley and Danny Welbeck still until a late flurry of 5 signings in 2 weeks was made with practically all of them turning out shite.
Or when we started 15/16 scoring 1 goal in our first 3 games until we signed Martial on deadline day.
He also never had to explain himself when he failed to deliver a winger in 17/18 and a centre-back in 18/19.
Funnily enough we were one of the few clubs who voted against the transfer window being moved to before the start of the season and we’ve had 2 very quiet Summer windows since, and then this one hear we are again scrambling round after a crap start. He loves it he’s not going to explain himself.
Sanco would have been match fit. He has been training since August.
In all seriousness, like us, the players have thought further signings will be made after making top 4, especially a right winger. The players need some competition and currently they are comfortable hence the silly mistakes.
If this does not get done, will be interesting to see how Sancho performs up to the next transfer window (is it the usual winter period?) especially if we get someone else like Dembele on loan or Sarr. I'd hope he'd be professional enough to knuckle down, but it really could mess with his head, affect his form and then Dortmund are left with a real conundrum on what to do.
Maybe that is the plan :-)

Because as long as the international window is open for clubs in other leagues, we are shooting ourselves in the foot by closing it earlier for just the Premier League. This matters more to bigger clubs that have more players other international clubs would want to buy. Whereinwhich we could only sell and not get replacements until January.
The other clubs also understood the downside and why the change was reverted.
Now if we could get all the European countries (at least) to agree on closing the window before the league starts, then that would make things different.
Well the lights will be going out on Monday.
How rude of me to do it so late in the day but....
Happy Sancho Day everyone!!!!!

Love the optimism and spirit in this thread, but, are there less GIFs in this thread than there used to be? Kind of remember the Thiago and Vidal thread had a few golden ones!
Love me some more of those

There's a Nurse in this thread.
Would be funny if we got Dembele instead and he turned into our own Robben at Bayern story. Then Dortmund fell out of top 4 next season because Sancho gifted them a series of own goals out of spite.
I was still a "newbie" when our interest in Sancho started this summer! 1600 posts later...
1600 posts later...This transfer window has achieved two things thus far. Made United look pathetic and terribly run once again and all but guaranteed we won't make top 4 if the other teams improve as their signings suggest they should.
Would be nice if we ever decided to try be a top football club again.

Should we do a quick crowdfunding campaign to raise the required price difference?
Yes-it's got all the hallmarks of the Fabregas saga.
So unfair. Meanwhile I’m a newbie and try to devote all my 5 posts in this muppet sanctuary thread.I was still a "newbie" when our interest in Sancho started this summer!
You really should have called yourself ChiefMuppet. Mods to fix it.I was still a "newbie" when our interest in Sancho started this summer!
how so?
If it was £90m up front with some add-ons / instalments I think they would have taken it. We're taking the piss really, look a joke (if everything so far is true).
Definitely not buying into this next summer garbage being spun by the club,quite simply it's now or never as Elvis once said.
This couldn't be so true!! I've always been of the belief that Sancho won't come unless the whole fee is paid. I just don't get why Utd leave deals so late now, after coming 3rd you would have thought Ole would have been backed in the market to push on, instead they dither around yet again!!! FFS put your max bid in, take it or leave it, if not move on!!
Need Sancho to throw a daddy daddy want want strop and throw some chairs around.
I think this will happen now.
Yeah but Fabregas didn’t want to come, Sancho does and he’ll push for it
This really is like an annoying ex gf following you around after you dump her . You tell her over and over you won't get back but she keeps calling every day wondering if you have changed your mind .
You then finally give in when drunk and give her the ride .
Let's hope someone at Dortmund is on the lash this week

Nah. It would be more fun if we got Sancho and he turned into our own Sancho at United story.
What's made you change your mind?
No surprise there. We're complete idiots when it comes to transfers. It makes sense for Dortmund to set an early deadline and sort out the business before the season, like a proper well organized club. We're a joke and thought they didn't mean it for some strange reason. This windows just been another example of complete failure in the transfer market. Every single summer has been a failure. Either taking too long/signing them a window too late and overspending on good players, or signing flops, or whatever else. We haven't had a single normal good window since Fergie left where we made good signings at normal prices (compared to prices that others manage to get) in a good time, setting the team up for success. Its always setting them up for failure.
