He's one of the most talented players in his age group in the world. I'm going to guess "yes".
100m in 20 mins? Only oil rich or Chinese owners can afford that
wouldn't be surprised if City of chelsea stepped in
Is the club still relaxed about this one then?
Not usually so negative, but I see very little chance of us getting Top 4 - and therefore no chance of Sancho next summer.
I mean ... can anyone really blame Dortmund?
First of all they are not a small club, they're a club on the second level of European clubs (like Tottenham, Atletico etc.) and they want to become a "big club" (unrealistic, but it is their goal).
They set a deadline, named the price for Sancho and were as straightforward as you can get ("€120 million or nothing"), while also revealing that Sancho recently even extended his contract until 2023 and that they therefore don't need to sell him this window.
Enter United and Woodward.
Good ol' Woody & Co. basically made it clear, that they gave a feck about Dortmund's deadline and that they actually thought, that United held all the aces in this saga. That's also emphasized by the reports of really low offers (compared to the price Dortmund was asking) etc.
Of course Dortmund would interpret this as United being arrogant and disrespectful.
People think we can just pull out €120m from the office safe.
So this is completely dead then? I was hoping to see him in the PL
You will, just most likely won't be with us
Brown paper bags at the Heston service station
You mean BL?
Exactly. Never really understood the idea of insulting BVB in this saga. It's their player. They are fine to put on their price as they value him. They did nothing wrong. Just because people are still thinking they are just a selling club they wanted them to accept any offer coming! Ridiculous really. They are ambitious and they have a very good team and want to keep it together.
Honestly fair play to them on keeping their stance at their price and deadline day.
Only 7 1/2 hrs to go til he's here fellow muppets!!
Clear cut opportunity to get potentially the worlds best RW. A position that the club has been lacking in for so long and we fecked it up. Disgrace and I'm lost for words.
Just a feeling i have.
Unbelievable really isn’t it? A complete open goal and we’ve missed from a yard out. Would only happen to us. Football really does suck at the moment.
Do you think Ole wanted Cavani? I genuinely think he has little to no power when it comes to transfers.
you must be high
Why wouldn't he?
This is something Moyes, Van Gaal and Jose have all said too so it looks like it’s a genuine thing. The one constant in this clusterfeck we’ve been in for the past 7 years is Woodward and I think it’s clear now where the problem is.
Sigh...
Could be a blessing for him
Dortmund won't have an issue selling to Chelsea next summer for ~90m. Sancho seems tailor made for Chelsea in the future if they can sort out the fees and silly agent fees now they know Money Bags United won't be paying up and mostly likely we'll find it hard to finish 4th anyway.

This should have been the easiest deal of the summer, but United found a way to screw it up. Arrogance and incompetence on full display. I can’t wait for press briefing that United never even bid for Sancho.
We gained experience and that's what matters....right?
As a chief muppet, yes I’m absolutely gutted that this never happened. Yes it’s been an absolute shit show of a window.
It’s not the fact we’ve missed out on signing him this window which is the hard part, it’s the fact that’s most likely the end of the road in getting Sancho. We lost a one horse race. It won’t be a one horse race next summer.
I don’t see how Chelsea don’t try and sign him next summer. Surplus cash. He walks into their side regardless of who they’ve signed.
@Judas - Let’s bring this train back to the station and retire it’s existence.

United should release a false report that’s we’ve made another bid just to keep muppet hearts beating.
IMO, at that price, as a Winger, on top of everything else , that Winger must have electric pace ..Sancho's pace is not top tier. If Sancho had Son's pace then I would be 110% , go for him at any cost.
Id rather be optimistic again even if its useless after yesterday's shit show.
So Sancho was the smokescreen for Sarr all along
Why are we spending surprising amount to buy Facundo and Traore, instead of putting everything for Sancho?
Sarr was the smokescreen for Dembele. Dembele was the smokescreen for keeping Dan James.
Wood be great if Woody wrote a book in a few years detailing all his transfer activity and stories around it.
So I could whack him over the head with it.

I get the sense you ve been thinking about that a lot.
We aren't finishing top 4. No chance.
Because, just as they said all along, there was a price (and maybe a deadline). Dortmund wouldn’t take our money now even if we offered it. United messed around, thought they could outwit / bully Dortmund, and not surprisingly missed out on their #1transfer target. Now it’s an all too common panic at the end of a window, trying to save face and plug gaps in the squad.
He's a bit shit anyway to be fair.
