It sounds good in theory but actually ignores few crucial details like we aren't getting 20m for Smalling and whatever transfer fee would be agreed it certainly would be paid in installments like most fees are paid so most likely 5 m max added to the transfer kitty but Dortmund based on all the noises we are hearing would like sizable chunk of Sancho's fee upfront so I very much doubt we are relying on Smalling's transfer to bridge the short fall.I've said this as a punt for a while but I sometimes wonder if it's true.
We are around 20m short, we want around 20m from Roma for Smalling. Joked that we will use Smalling to fund the Sancho gap but I'm curious about the timing now.
Tomorrow is likely to be the day Smalling finally gets agreed, and we aren't likely to make an improved offer before then.
