Yup. Every single summer.
From 10th to 20th
Will be done around 1st October
Remember the idiots saying the 10th deadline was set in stone and there was no way it could possibly happen after that.
No strong report on United sending offer for other players, so it's probably Sancho all the way.
It could be disaster though, if this will drag for whole month without any effect.

Who cares if it takes a month, I don't. All that matter is we'll be signing him.
It's my interpretation of how long we seem to ponder around over these things. Obviously I have no direct proof.
I only have my own interpretation of the situation.
Yeah, that too so arrogantly. Woody will see how Dortmund will deal, he wont be talked to after 10th.
It's all just nonsense. When they agree the fee, they will make the move as with any transfer.
Can’t stop seeing Brad Pitt in Se7en now. «What’s in the box? What‘s in the feckun’ box?»
Players can leave training camps early. It happens all the time.
It's done. Tomorrow it will be announced.
The big question is will he be on that plane to Switzerland on Monday? I am really hoping we hear that he has asked to be left out.

Did Fjortoft just go from 'Hey guys, I called my special insider he told me... ' to 'Hey guys I listened to that podcast... '
I kind of like him as a pundit, because he's as enthusiastic as a coke head and sometimes offers an outside perspective, but this is just pathetic attention seeking.

How confident are you? wishing to bet say, a 1 week temp ban if you're wrong?
There's too much being made out of that. Dortmund will only be gone for 1 week
and it's not like they are going to Australia, the United States, or Asia, they are going to Switzerland for a week
The point of the August 10th deadline is not that Sancho is out of reach, it's that this is the phase where the preparation shifts from fitness to team building and tactical ideas. Doing that with a player as the centerpiece who won't actually play the season is counterproductive.
It's a true deadline. 10th of August 2021; this deal has next summer written all over it. Maybe January at best.
There is worth in getting him earlier to get him training with our squad as soon as possible. That's all I really care about.
It'll be done this window. If he doesn't sign by October 5th, I'll purchase a Liverpool jersey for this season.
So stop presenting your own interpretation as facts then
I hope he join us soon, But I can't see it happening tomorrow.
He's a complete moron.
I get the horrible feeling that we were waiting for him to force a move and he isn't. Expecting another team like PSG, City, Madrid to gazump us with bucket loads of money at the last minute.
My last post of the day, We need to stay calm, I know it's difficult because we've invested our time into this deal, I plead to you all to stay calm, I think he'll join us soon as well.
You know this for a fact?

well...okLet my post be a warning to all other then who are careless when throwing millions around like it's pocket change money
Seeing as we have other areas of the team in need of boosting over the window, and that we're seemingly incapable of doing more than one deal at a time, we need to just get this sorted.
CB and CDM cover are vital.

If they are facts to me they are good enough. I suppose every other poster here who has anything negative to say about Utd's transfer policy is is the wrong as well in your eyes.
I don't think Dortmund will lower their asking price. They will look like a fool if they drop their asking price below 100m for a generational talent. In the non-Covid-19 world, he would have easily gone for 120m+.
If Ed gets this done in mid September (or even later) for anything over 100m, he is a buffoon.
It is so important to allow young players who are playing in foreign leagues as much time as possible to adequately gel in the new team, and for the manager to instil his ideas and understand the new player.
Haggling over a few million Euros can potentially mean a few points dropped. No fun.
If the asking price cannot be met, Ed should say "No" and move on to the next target ASAP.

Then on another thread they'll be moaning about having to spend £20 on something.
We'll get some news by tomorrow.
Quiet before the storm...

Getting him bedded in and accustomed to life as a United player as early as possible is equally important.
Let's go champ.
that's fine in a sense of getting the most money off and frustrating the selling club but if this is the only deal we are seriously working on until then we are letting other bargains slip through our hands negotiating a few million off as close to a dead cert to succeed as we are ever going to get. When does it become a loss of time and resources letting these things drag on. It also makes us look like ponderous negotiators once again. I say if we aren’t going to get this done in good time then go get Chiesa/ Havertz or someone for 50 this summer and fix other areas in the squad. If he doesn’t kill it come back In for sancho next year for 50/60 and run the risk of him signing a new deal/not wanting to come here anymore after we dithered for the second summer running. Or we could end up with 2 great players for the price of one sancho this summer. Might be worth considering.
Well . . . Fact being a loose term, in the way that Flat Earthers know the world is flat. But definitely, it is fact that it will be announced tomorrow.
The window closes on Oct 5th. Two months of blood, sweat and tears in this thread
Major signings in the last days of the window is Woodward’s trademark move.
