It wasn't until i read some of your other posts that i discovered that this wasn't sarcasm, christ.
What's Old Trafford worth in an economic collapse ?
The oil and gas industry is volatile, has been for ages.
Okay, there @UncleBob....

Business is a risk vs. reward dynamic.
If you are risk averse, you won't buy Sancho. No guarantee he will pay off, true. That risk averse philosophy can permeate every decision made as a club, down to your most insignificant transfer fee. We paid 15m for Dan James -- will he pan out? That's the same risk, the numbers are just smaller.
I think we can agree that United won't stop buying and selling players as this is how football works -- you try to improve your team. If you say that we shouldn't OVERPAY for footballers, I agree with you. We should pay market prices. But given our aspirations as a club (PL titles, CL titles), we need a high level of talent throughout the squad, and elite talent is very, very expensive.
Yeah agreed and we'll have the Man Utd tax as well.
Unless we get bought by an oil billions we're not at the very top table anymore.
But I do think it'll balance out eventually.
Clubs have to spend to sustain any sort of consistency and that’s what ultimately pays the owners.
I hope beyond hope that the board back Ole again this summer especially in light of the form we were in prior to the season being halted.

If Sancho is the only deal we get done I'd be happy, I think we are a ways of challenging anyway so we can address midfield and a partner for Maguire later, even if it means stupid;ly playing Pogba in the double pivot we'd should still have enough to get top 4 and we can build from there. RW is the disease and Sancho is the cure....
At this point we should start to consider moving for Zaha seriously as our main back up option.
Why?
He’s average and fecking annoying to boot. No thanks.
I'd be happy with just Sancho. Sancho is a player who just turned 20 with end product well beyond his years. Above all his technical ability is frightening and plays in a position of need. He's a potential United player for 10+ years who could form the core along with Greenwood, Rashford, Henderson, AWB, etc...
Sancho and Ighalo alone would be a great window. If Pogba also left, then it wouldn’t be nearly enough.
This. I would snap your hand off now for Sancho, Ighalo and Pogba to remain.
That, all things considered, would be great window for us.
Strengthening three areas of the pitch, one of which is key (RW)
For now I’m quite happy with the rest of the starting 11 when fit.
No thanks. File him under ‘headless chicken’ along with Adama Traore please Nigel.
I'd rather stick with James
Thirded. Never Zaha, please.
Zaha isn't elite, would be a waste of money. At least with James we know what he is.
Also James' output and effort in his first transition season is far more encouraging than 'big fish' Zaha IMO. Also now that he got the goal after an awful drought I expect his confidence to rise. Ironic we had to have the break just as he did
To be fair he had had more than enough time.
Harsh talk.. yes he needs to polish some aspects of his game but i'm convinced he got what it takes to succeed in a big club! Maybe not with United.
Time will tell i guess.
Agreed.
in my opinion and listening to football financial experts in the media we could be in trouble if the COVID 19 virus lasts into next season, we could lose £200m in gate and TV revenue (they also said up to 50% of lower league clubs could go bust, I wouldn't put pass Ed not evening buying players this summer transfer window just to steady the ship. So a few months ago Jordan looked set for united but now there's a huge question mark.
No. There is a global pandemic where players are being asked to defer wages and clubs are going bust, and then you really think signings of £100m etc will take place?
Woodward was being sensible and quite correct. To even think differently is just daft. You cannot blame any manager or club for refusing to pay money of that size for anyone in the next year or 2. Which is why it is entirely plausible that all these supposed big money deals, wont happen and the player will remain for an extra season
Another tier 1 source shining a positive light on a potential move, he also said Dortmund haven't received any bids yet but that's to be expected given all the uncertainty with the global situation right now.
All in all sounds like the club are willing to do whatever it takes to get him whenever the market opens which is absolute music to my ears
I just hope we might have the possibility of CL footy on top of all the money in tandem for an offer he can't refuse
Goldbridge you beauty
What’s he said?
He's brought a gift to all the muppets after managing to get Romano on his show to elaborate a bit more in detail in regards to our future transfer dealings.
C’mon woody, absolutely HAVE to get this one over the line.
I have been listening to it and he basically said it was almost a formality before Covid-19. However he doesn't think there will be any mega money moves this window coming up due to the pandemic and losses each club will have made.
He talks about swap deals being the go to choice this year between big clubs. Interesting.
Sancho won't join this summer. Can't see how we can justify 100m in the current climate.

hopefully we get him Fabrizio is tier 1 but he has missed, I remember last summer he called Bruno's deal.Why do journalists not link Andreas, Lingard, Dalot and Smalling as swap deal for Sancho
But we get linked with Di Maria, Ramsey for Pogba

Where does Fabrizio Romano say this stuff when it isn't on his twitter? Does he do a podcast or something?
He's coming to us, we are the only club who are going to be crazy money for a player this summer. No other club I don't think we'll spend that type of money on Sancho
I think he's a cracking player but he isn't the last part of the jigsaw to me, plenty more work to do over the summer

That's a really poor summery and not what he says at all
What he actually says is we're in constant contact with the player and his agent but nothing can be done because no one knows the long term financial impact current events are having on clubs
Who have we got who Dortmund may want then? Dalot seems an obvious one given they're loosing Hakimi, can't see them being interested in too many others we'd be happy to let go though
He clearly says in the interview that he doesn't see how mega deals will happen given the situation. Goldbrige then agreed. Woodward even said this the other day too.
I honestly think we were all set to get him like many others did. This virus has put a real spanner in the works for sure. I don't see us spending 100m on one player right now sadly. And I'd love us to get him.
I think we may have to wait till 2021 now.
I dont think they’ll fancy Dalot, I guess the only ones would be Greenwood and maybe Gomes.
Offer them Sachez, think of the money they will save only having to change the 'o' to an 'ez' on his dressing room locker and all other embroided stuff. Come on Dortmund, you know it makes sense.
Is it true they only want 100m euros? Saw a second hand tweet saying that's romano is saying
