God why does every transfer have to be a fecking saga. Teams get first linked & then sign quicker than we can go from “monitoring” to “preparing a bid” urgh.

Lets all bow down to Dortmund huh?
All together, this might be the biggest pile of nonsense I've read in this thread and that's saying something.
Not quite. Just pay the amount it feck off is their stance.
Besides its also reported we fecked around with Leipzig with Upamecano with stupid offers too.
Its amazing how Dortmund always bend over for Bayern but are hard bastards when selling abroad
I don’t think it’s about bowing down, it’s about not acting like cnuts
Jadon is still under the weather. Poor guy.
the only was this gets done is if Sancho throws his toys out of his crib. at this point United havent met Dortmunds valuation, but put in a VERY fair and competitive bid. If Sancho wants to come he has to make that known in a way that causes Dortmund discomfort. That will force them to meet United somewhere in the middle and get this handled. Without him pushing, he stays. Unhappy or not for 1 more year.
Is there any chance we could sign him for 90m-100m in reality but agree with Dortmund that we'll publicly say it was 120m?
We did that with Leeds when signing Cantona

Do we know if Burki showed up to training today?
0
We both announce finances to the public, it would be impossible to hide and illegal.
Burki showed up and Sancho didn't, please please let this be the beginning of the end and we actually sign him
They're such a little bitch to Bayern.
There are plenty of reasons to cite why transfers, especially for a club like United are complex matters. You dont just send in someone to happy go lucky style negotiate a 100+ million acquisition. Its a massive business transaction no matter which way you look at it. Businesses will send in groups of lawyers over way less than that.Great Post. You feel like a Fergie charm offensive in years gone by would have laid the groundwork for more amicable discussions than a team of lawyers would. Fergie would have taken one of his good bottles of wine
Where have we done that? We have been incredibly respectful throughout all of this?
Unless acting like a cnut is not paying 120m euros upfront?
Back in training it seems.
Sky say he is not in training, Jan says he is.
Separate training session maybe? this transfer just never ends haha
Do we bid every 3-4 hours, increasing the bidding amount by 100 pounds each time
Besides, the media will inflate the price on their own anyway. Five years from now, we'll remember it as a £160million signing.
Not seen anything from Sky to be fair, but Jan is always at his keyboard ready to urinate on our hopes. He must get all excited at the prospect.
IF and it's a huge IF we pull this off, he's going to get so much hate
I'll be honest, I expected a bit more news and activity today.
If all this is true, then I don't mind Utd don't bowing down to, what to me atleast, are unreasonable demands on Dortmund's part. They themselves decide the price and deadline with no room for negotiation, and then blame Utd for not taking them seriously? I mean literally every other club is working towards the official deadline, it's not like we are doing something weird. If Dortmund don't want to sell that's fair enough, but all this deadline and fixed price stuff is just malarkey and playing by it just sets a bad precedent for our future transfer dealings.
Surely it can happen during any of the 5 days left?
German fans and clubs are such a snowflakes. It is our right as a buyer to offer 5 mil for Sancho or Upamecano or Dembele or whoever. Selling club have every right to say no or yes or say their price.
There is no stupid offer, there is only stupid answer. I don't mind when Dormunt say 120 mil or nothing. But all those tweets and things around transfer are small club mentality.
Sometimes in business you have to humour the other side to get what you want.
Maybe we didn't want to work to a deadline? Understandable. Still, its their asset we want (and, supposedly, we do want him), so maybe we have to give a little.
There are ways to deal with that kind of thing without necessarily knocking anyone's nose out of joint.
What have we gained by dismissing them out of hand if it means they're completely unwilling to deal now? We might feel chuffed with ourselves but it still means we risk running an 18 year old kid into the ground cos we have nobody else of real class.
Bingo.
Indeed. He has been tweeting about United alot and almost mocking us all summer. Not someone I am too fond of tbh.
Sure, I Agree that Dortmund shouldn't be imposing their own deadlines.
I disagree with this though. No one is saying United have no right to bid low amounts. They can do what they like, but with that comes consequences of bemusement and dissatisfaction from dealing perspectives. It makes it look like what might be the truth - we have no fecking idea what we're doing.
I mean Ed has every right to go out and shit on Leipzig's doorstep and demand Upamecano for £2.50 and kit-kat. That doesn't necessarily mean it's right though
How? A lot if people say they always bend over for Bayern hardly offer many examples.
Again... English media say one thing, German media say another.
Am sure if he trained, there will be pictures later on anyway, there usually is isn't there?
This is going to drag on all weekend, roll on Monday so it's done one way or another!
Not really.
Götze had a release clause, Lewandowksi left for free and Bayern was the Former Club from Hummels and he Wanted to go back Home.
If he trained, Dortmund will tweet something about it. Small time bastards 
So Gary Coterril from Sky has been stood outside Dortmund training all day and said Sancho did not turn up to training today.
Dortmund are reporting he trained but it was alone away from the rest of the squad.
Getting juicy.

There's a huge difference between being their bitch and being an ass. I get the feeling we have been the latter.
If he did train, they'll post a photo of smiling Sancho with "You love to see it" caption. We'll see.
