The issue with holding off signing Sancho until next summer is the uncertainty regarding the future competition for his signature. Put it this way would you rather sign Zaha and Grealish and see Sancho sign for Liverpool or Chelsea next summer or sign Sancho and see Grealish and Zaha go elsewhere. I know which one I'd pick. We need to strike a deal this summer whilst we're in the unique position of having a clear run at him.
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

Zaha and Grealish do not get in our starting 11 when all fit.
Not to mention Zaha is a totally underwhelming and probably scored less than Dan James last season (that’s without me even checking.)
it's all Just media Spin after being briefed by Each club. Dortmund - we wont back down , United -we wont be ripped off, they will come to an agreement and everything will be cool .
Can't believe in 2020 in a thread about us being days away from signing Sancho there's people actually positive about us signing some of the level of Wilfred Zaha. Seriously, go support another team.
Agreed mate ,but who would be answerable for muppets mass suicide in the meantime.
Mental isn’t it, other clubs fans could only dream of signing Sancho a genuine world class talent.
No thanks I want Zaha who already played for us and had a horrible time.
I stand by this statement from a month ago and give it a week before we pay what Dortmund want. He's going to get the number 7.
Tbh, i rate Zaha a lot. Sancho is of course a dream signing and is priority but i would not mind having Zaha also.
Sancho-Martial-Rashford. Zaha-Ighalo-Greenwood. That would be monster attack.
And on top of that is only a good player at his level at Palace. I watch a lot of football and what is clear is a lot of people are basing their opinions without watching the players they have opinions on at all. Zaha was bang average this year and was decent the year before.
No change in the thread title + only 4 pages added overnight = Sanchoff.
He could probably go up a level at another club I just don't think he'll ever be the good enough for where we want to be. He's dreadfully inconsistent, dreadfully predictable, and his attitude on the pitch is tragic. The thought of watching a shite version of Nani doesn't do anything for me.
As much as he thinks he's too good for Palace he's still not exactly carrying them is he? It might not be his level, but his level isn't much higher than that, and it certainly isn't Man Utd.
You're delusional mate. Pogba has never lived up to the 90m price tag once.
I think people rate zaha because arsenal tried to buy him last year. He would the perfect moyes signing.
Sancho is a one time opportunity that will change things for real and in the future make us title challengers again.

Be interesting to have a poll on here to see if people feel he's lived up to expectations. I'd say no where near personally. Verging on a big disappointment considering expectations. Admittedly those expectations may have been unrealistic on my part.
I'm not having a pop but I think most of Pogba's detractors are in the same boat. They never watched him enough for Juve and had a mad idea of the player they were getting. For me he's lived up to what I expected, but I watched a lot of him playing in that Juve side and have many games like he has for us. I think Youtube compilations have a lot to blame for why Pogba is regarded as such a disappointment. He's never been the star game changing man really which is what people thought they were getting, more a brilliant cog in a well oiled machine. Hopefully next season he can be that for us, now that we actually look to be building a machine and not a load of spare parts thrown together.
I'm concerned a lot of the highlight reels and whoscored has his best games as a left forward/left attacking midfield instead of right forward or right attacking midfielder.
Can anyone who watches Dortmund frequently attest to whether he is best on the left or right?

You know a deal is close once the negative press stories emerge. Almost there lads, almost there.
So now we're having trouble agreeing terms with Sancho? I thought that was already agreed. Or was it just another "filler" sentence the tweeter punks add when it seems that the deal is happening.
I don't remember this happening for AWB, Maguire or Bruno. Can someone verify? Happened for Dybala though I believe.
There were some stats which showed he plays best on the left - however he still plays great on the right.
Well, Woodward is standing in front of the bowl and started to unzip his trousers...
Go back 5 or 6 pages and there is load of links where it was the same for those transfers.
I'm sticking to my Friday estimation, LASK tonight, Sanchez gone tomorrow and Sancho announced Friday
No. Dybala wasn't interested in moving anywhere, it was Juventus that were interested in getting rid and wanted to use him in a swap deal for Lukaku.
Zaha? Really, guys?
Hope it's not another Sanchez situation where everyone expects him to play on the right but because of his fee/wages he gets preferred to play on the left leaving the right wing in the same state..
I meant that everyone already reported that we agreed terms with Sancho. If that was true, he wouldn't have gone back on his word, so I assume it's just something the tweeter guys add to make their tweets longer when it looks like the deal is happening, when in reality we probably haven't even agreed the terms with Sancho at that time.
It will happen eventually anyways, there is always some drama towards the end.
It's fair enough. I remember @JPRouve saying at the time that expectations were over the top for what he'll actually offer. As you say he's not the leader and protagonist we hoped for but can be an important cog in the machine.
Glad to see you think Woodward can get anything done in week... takes him longer to tie his shoe laces. And also pleased you think you know Dortmund better than Dortmund know Dortmund. Are you Ed, by any chance?
If this doesn’t happen, it’ll completely change my trust in Romazo.
Torres signed... I'll take apologies in the form or jelly babies
When have these rather arbitrary deadlines ever been enforced?
Clubs usually set some kind of date when they want their business sorted, have time to find replacements, bed them in and so on. Still a lot of moves go down to the wire and take forever to complete, can't see many clubs walking away from 100ish million just because they only have 28 days yo prepare instead of 30.

Torres signed. No need to apologise, just send chocolate!
Very poor Eric Cantona impersonations aren't much better
what's that got to do with anything? you want a player, you pay the fee
457 pages!!!!!! Yes 457 pages of social media bullsh!t
Out of the 457 pages this is the best post Ive read by a country mile.. Wish I could like it because it certainly deserves one.
Please please peeps stop listening to the gutter press/ media. What Gandalf says is basically all you need to know...ENOUGH SAID.
It's basically battle of the PR teams, nothing more.
I am not saying the deal won't get done. I'd just like to get things done early for once, especially given that there is no "long summer" break between seasons. We need players in as soon as possible so they can start to train with the squad (not everyone can do what Bruno did). Also, as I said, Dortmund have put a time on this deal to be done... or are all of you saying that Woodward's track record is good?
