This is pretty much it for me.

I think the way we have conducted previous transfers has come back to haunt us a little. We end up paying the price in the end, so sometimes there's no point drawing it out. I expect us to be smart with this and get a bid accepted by the end of this week or start of next.

We've paid less for basically every transfer the last years. I think even Maguire was a little under initial valuation. They wanted 90, no?

As long as Sancho is keeping active with Dortmund he's fine, our team is working on Europa League right now. Sancho can join in a few weeks, watch our final from the stands. Then start the "pre-season" after EL when the rest of the team will, and he already knows lots of them from the national team anyway!
 
"Forwards Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood and goalkeeper David de Gea have all signed new deals in the past 13 months, and United would not want to put themselves into a position where they have to revisit them."

Does Stone really have the inside story or is he trying to spoil the fun. I don't know how much Sancho is after, but even if he was asking for a Messi-type contract, de Gea would not be asking for an improved deal given what he's earning. Greenwood is surely in line to get a bumper new deal if he hasn't already, and it wouldn't surprise me if it were similar to Shaw and Lingard's contracts, but merited.

I doubt Stone is sniffing in the right places.

This is what I thought. If it was a briefing on the fee then people on here would have a point that it's United tricks to get better fee.

Why would we brief that the wage demands are too much? That doesn't make much sense to me either.

So that when he joins, it doesn't look like he has joined just for the lucrative contract if he has had to look like he's negotiating a reasonable contract. That's my theory anyway. Could also be a way of showing that we won't be taken for a ride.

My favourite was when they missed Schneiderlin driving by them whilst they were camped outside Carrington waiting for Schweinsteiger to turn up.

Is there a video? I didn't catch that during that time
 
Why would we brief that his wage demands were too high? That is seperate from Dortmund's valuation. The longer this goes on, the more I start to think it won't go through. We've had transfers in the past that looked sure things, only to fall through. See Thiago, Vidal etc. for some recent examples.

Possibly..... But seems a bit of a stretch that theory to me.

Lets see what happens anyway. Nothing is ever simple with this club on or off the pitch.

This is much more like it. :lol:

Dortmund have no specific reason to sell this summer imo.

Apart from him wanting to come, having 2 years left on his contract, record transfer figures being talked about for premier league or bundesliga clubs, uncertain financial impact of Covid, etc.

Were we ever even in for Vidal? Wasn't that basically all bullshine in the end? A totally media driven saga?

Thaigo fell through because Moyes said no thanks, bit different really.

No point in panicking this early in the window or you won't last the course

Definitely didn't happen with the briefs with Maguire n Bruno. Wages were never an issue.

Maybe as its 108m fee he's asking for a lot more than 250k a week. Rashford Martial etc earn that already. Shaw is on 190k so they say.

Starting to think the lad might not be so bad at football...

This is mental for any footballer and even more so for a 20 year old..

It does the opposite. It makes it look like he currently only wants to join for the money. If I was Sancho I’d be incredibly pissed off at that briefing.
 
Nou_Camp99 said:
Why? I said we'd not pay stupid money for him. Maybe I was right all along and the only way we get him is if Dortmund are more realistic.

Paying 108m for one player in the middle of global pandemic where we've lost over 100m in revenue and you lot don't think there's a slight possibility I might be right?

If I'm wrong I will glady hold my hands because I think he's a fabulous talent. I just didn't think it was possible in this climate at those prices.

I think I confused you with another poster(Barca something) who I saw talking arse earlier. Apologies mate :lol:
 
Literally been reported for weeks by solid sources that personal terms with Sancho would be the easiest part of the deal and no problem at all. I'm not buying a deal being held up by his wage demands, we're talking about Ed fecking Woodward here not Daniel Levy :lol:

He's spent boatloads on wages for dross without much consideration for years, he won't skimp out on genuine star quality over a few extra quid when all our starters are already being paid quite handsomely as is.

If it's being held up than its likely down to Dortmunds demands or willingness to have things spread out or not, not how much he'd be making in wages

We will get him, I’m very confident. It’s obvious all parties want it to happen. It might just take longer than we initially thought. Come October - he’ll be a united player though.

That was posted yesterday, but it's just as funny today.

That guy's a proper hero.

Yeah, brilliant.

I heard we're willing to pay 50m up front and 10m for every CL we win in the next 6 years, 10m if he's ballon d'or winner next season.

Hahaha No one is revisiting the De Gea contract for more money. Not even De Gea himself would be that silly.

Mason deserves a renewal though. Marcus is already overpaid for his level.
