This saga seems to be lacking in the top tier muppetry. Where’s the liked tweets, or Fabrizio on twitter going “HERE WE GO”

Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

Jan has one big problem and that is his uncritical reporting of the news from his sources. It hurts his credibility when it’s obvious this is Dortmund feeding and their official line.
Romano for example is much better at presenting the news even though he also obviously gets fed the company line sometimes.

He isn't an "ITK" but he gets fed the club line by their CEO's and managers. They use him as a mouth piece, but it's basically what they want us to hear.
Clearly right now it's a game of poker between us and Dortmund.
Technically, the report is probably right.
We might not have made a body and he might leave for €120m. Doesn't mean a sale is not close.

Lots to report on the Swindon Town front too. It's been a busy couple of days for the Robins.
Nah at home with a decent CB pairing and Bissaka and a fit Shaw that would work we would need a CB like Koulibaly to partner H Maguire and then it would work and to be fair pretty scary
Holy sheeeet.
Imagine that lineup in our home games. Can't really get more attacking than that.
I could use some Sancho muppetry to spark things up
Edit: Tag me too when something exciting happens!

I don't see us having that line up ever. The only time is if we are behind and chasing a goal for a draw or going all guns blazing for the win. You think Maguire and Lindelof are good enough to defend without the help of Matic or a DM?
I'm convinced that we'll never see that either. But, let us muppets dream. It looks silly and would leave us exposed, but I can't help but look at that and imagine the carnage.
He's going to be perfect for us, We've not had a player full of tricks since Ronaldo and Nani left, this guy is the real deal, fingers crossed on this one, i just can't wait to see him wear that 7 shirt
Jan is one of the biggest muppets out there.
He loves anything that can make Die Bundesliga and its clubs look good. He loves to be able to chat directly to sources so he will spout whatever they want him to say so he retains that direct access. It's what makes him truly happy in life.
He's always this positive cheery dude whenever he's on Norwegian TV.
But I trust like 10% of what comes out of his mouth.

Watched Sancho a few times and is absolute quality. Definitely deserves the hype. I reckon he could surpass Sterling once he has spent a few years at Man United. My first choice right wing signing. Bayern Munich can keep Coman.
Finally a player deserving of the No 7.He's going to be perfect for us, We've not had a player full of tricks since Ronaldo and Nani left, this guy is the real deal, fingers crossed on this one, i just can't wait to see him wear that 7 shirt
I await your tweets on the matter.
365 pages, like 365 days in a year. Just wanted to throw that out there.
Is it a sign that todays the day?
You read my mind mate.
The prospect of a front three with any of Sancho, Martial, Rashford and Greenwood, with Pogba and Bruno in behind is ridiculous. The thing i like best about sancho is that he will help provide so many easier goals for other players, which we dont seem to be doing.
Also, he was great in Sex Education.

Joke's on you, there are 366 days this year.
Oh yeah righ, we had 29th of February.
Ffs!
Jan relies on being fed info from his colleagues in German media and act as a mouthpiece for Bundesliga clubs. This means that he sometimes gets access to information before it reaches mainstream media. An example of this was when he was told (probably from Bild themselves) that Bayern was about to sign Mario Götze from Dortmund right before the story broke on Bild's website, which enabled him to tweet something like "HUGE Bayern transfer news coming up. Prepare to be shocked". So he got good connection in German and Norwegian media while at the same they are hugely biased. So no wonder he's towing the Dortmund party line in this situation. But it's not unusual though, Simon Stone does it for United.
I’ve not seen him much - how good is he compared to rivals wing players - likes of Sterling, Mahrez, Salah, Mane, Pulisic, etc?
If we did actually pull our fingers out and get him asap would we be able to use him in the Europa? I'm guessing not as technically its "last season's" Cup and if everything was how it usually was the transfer window wouldn't be open at that point?
It doesnt matter though, we wont put in a bid before we know it is accepted.
So when the bid comes the deal is already done.
No. Players should have been registered by the end of January for this season's European competitions.
Hard to say because he hasnt played in PL, but his playstyle is more like Pulisic, e.g. he doesnt rely on his speed but his dribbling ability.
Although I can't stand Jan and his annoying appearence and dialect, he's quite connected in Germany I think.
He's a regular pundit over there, and seemingly good friends with everyone from club legends and suits to media and journalists.

I can’t remember him getting anything right
Kitchen sink stuff that. The good thing about that line up, Any one of the 6 can produce a quality of magic on their own. It really is a mouth watering line up if we can get him, teams are going to be scared.
He gets plenty right, but its always what the clubs want him to say. He's nothing but a mouth piece.
I’m gonna say it now I honestly think he will be an expensive flop. I don’t think he’ll get anywhere near the goals/assist as in Germany. I rather we spent this money on a proper Striker and let Rashford, Greenwood, Martial fight it out for the other spaces.
And what happens when Rashford, Martial or Greenwood get injured, or maybe 2 of them at the same time? and what happens when they drop form?
It's such a shortsighted view. You cant have 3 players in the same position for 60 games all year.
It is very difficult to imagine that Greenwood will lose his place in the starting XI. Not on merit
Or with Luke Shaw
To be fair to him, he's just relaying what he's been told. He's not making stuff up and I believe he doesn't. He says in a subsequent tweet that he believes the move will happen.
Aaron Ramsey, John Obi Mikel
