It was in jest.
What does this even mean

I assume 70 upfront, 30 next year, 20 the year after that.
It was risky and it badly backfired but I don't think anyone would argue that they expected to be that bad. We are talking of a 35 goals plus assist player that literally turned into Lingard overnight.
Your argument makes sense but covid doesn't seem to be going anywhere any time soon. I'm just thinking financially. I wouldn't be sad if we bought him, honestly
True but governments are better prepared now with testing and tracking the virus so I don't think we will see complete lockdowns like the ones that happened earlier. So I doubt football is going to be paused and the last thing people are selling is their TV and smartphone if they get fired
This one feels more like the Rooney type. Big fee but the perfect fit with his whole career ahead of him.
Indeed we are. Unless if Jan Fortjhfhfh failed his Math class.If my math are correct we are signing him for 20m!
If there are no new updates by this time tomorrow I think im going to die.
Agree with you on that, yes. Turned very sour very quickly. Certainly unforeseen. I doubt Ole would have had him on his target list.
We need someone with good negotiation skills. We always play hard and delay it but in the end we pay the same amount they initially quoted or more.
Like the way Man-city do their business, I really hope we will have some one like that.

He'll be confirmed on the 7th. Until then its going to be headlines for clicks.
United fans love worrying about money that isn’t theirs instead of wanting quality players.
End up with a bunch of alternatives that don’t move the needle performance wise, but get to talk about how we saved money.
Bingo.
How come we paid less than what Sporting wanted for Bruno? Does that not suit your narrative?
City do their business by being crooked. No thank you.
Ok ... steady on!
The media part isn't exactly true, they don't need briefings to get stories and it definitely doesn't have to be part of a strategy from the club. The main source for stories are agents themselves, that's why the likes of Di Marzio spend a lot of time in Monaco during that period of the year, that's where most prominents agents are and where you get infos that you then verify with official sources such as clubs press officers. Also a club like United doesn't need to manufacture stories in order to be talked about on a daily basis, the only reason you see periodic briefings is to interact with fans because when clubs don't do it while a rival club signs or is linked to a player it's always the same story about how nothing good ever happens to the club we support or how X is better at signing players than Y. In this era of "overinformation", silence is always negatively interpreted.
It is my money. I have a membership. That said I'm happy to spend it so ignore the moaning cnuts and get me another credit card.
How can you include Tevez on that list? Then you have the likes of Dalot, Darmian, Rojo, Powell, Buttner etc. which have been a complete wastes of money, while big names like Rio, Berba, Bruno etc have all been enormously successful.
We aren't just paying for potential as you've said, we're paying for someone that has already been enormously successful in one of the best leagues in the world. He's someone we've wanted to sign for several years, who will have zero problems with settling, learning the culture or the language. He's the best right sided attacker available. That's why we are having to pay a premium. He's far less of a risk than if we spent £20m on an unknown who might well end up costing us valuable points next season.
Good PR is getting the deal done. Winning a major trophy is the best PR. Manipulating the fans opinions regarding how the transfer is performed is useless. Even our poor dumb Woody understands that
You're actually very wrong.
Since the briefing last night, Sancho has been the topic of conversation for all Man Utd fans on Twitter. This is even more so than before when everything looked like it was plain sailing. This is a win in the eyes of the shareholders. Any tweet put out by the official account today will have higher interactions just for the simple fact that people want news on Sancho.
Having high social interactions is very important for sponsors and shareholders.
They're not 'leaks'. They're stories.
Sanchez contract will end to free up no.7.
Sancho will be confirmed on the 7th wearing the 7.
Anything until then is to drum up social interaction and media attention.
This deal has been done for a while.
Judging by all the reactions, I think we need a new thread title @Adnan
I vote for: "Jadon Sancho - WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?"

Compare his stats to any player at the same age. Sanchos output is insane for his age. We might find a cheaper alternative but no way are they the same calibre of player. I don't even think the fee is that bad honestly.

The fee for a 20 year old who is English with those stats is more then fair.
This is why I said United getting more and more annoyed about fake briefings. So you're correct, they don't need to manufacture stories.
The media part is very true. They need the media, as it fits in with United's commercial and marketing opportunities. So they will work with them. This is clearly evident with their recent relationship with Alibaba.
Why are some saying back out and go for someone else, like it's their personal money at stake Never understood that thought process from a fan.
Never understood that thought process from a fan.Just watched all of his 42 goals and assists this season, what impresses me most is his balance, and manipulation of the ball.
He would honestly have a field day with this united team when Martial, Bruno, and Rashford are at full flight.

Of course we know how much we have to spend. We have teams of accountants whose job is to set budgets, and once we've come to an agreement with Dortmund it's not a big deal to send the money.
I'm gonna have to change it soon mate..Judging by all the reactions, I think we need a new thread title

Just wanted to point out that Juve were the ones who had to pay Raiola in that deal. They agreed to that clause when Pogba first joined them, that they would pass on a certain percentage of any future sale to his agent. Juve briefly tried to get us to pay it as well and we told them where to stick it as it wasn't anything to do with us. So we paid them the 89m that Pogba was worth and then they had to give something like 22m of that to Raiola.

While also having Greenwood ready to deputize at any of the forward positions at any times is also a mouthwatering prospect
Would be an absolute nightmare for opposing backlines if the club pulls it off
Think about the few millions we saved and how our season would have been if we signed him not by Jan but Aug. And it's largely because Sporting was in some financial trouble that they lowered their price. Imo we'll end up paying exactly what they quoted.
Man utd tweet Jadon Sancho is a United player pending medical.
Redcafe: what does it mean though?

No club will pay the quoted sums next summer knowing that in just 6 months you can secure his signature for free.
