You've been extremely confident over the last few days. Something you're not telling us?
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

There's a slight flaw in the theory. How can the white smoke over Old Trafford be the Sancho unveiling video when he's at training with Dortmund?
Every summer there's this huge turnover predicted.
Never happens. Especially not in a much shorter break where we're still playing games.
Our goals conceded is not that different to City and Liverpool. Goals scored on the other hand there is a massive gap. If Sancho helps us score more goals we will be closer to competing with the top 2
I demand evidence of this!
Wouldn't listen to him. He just likes the attention.To me that is a fatal mistake. Getting a centreback should almost be just as important as Sancho, if not more.
In my humble opinion, getting a top class partner for Maguire will make us one of the best defences in Europe. I like lindelof as much as the next person, but he is the weak link right now. He is prone to errors and gets bullied by bigger strikers.
A title winning team is built from the back. Just ask pep who spent 400m+
If we can sell Rojo, Jones and Smalling for decent money, that could help fund getting a top class CB. Unless of course, OGS is sentimental and wants to give Axel a chance. Huge gamble.
Sancho will not be our only signing.
It is Sancho day after all!
Would be very disappointed if it's slow today!
Full stream ahead!
There needs to be a clear health warning on this thread if this deal isn't done today.
Only fair he gets to say his goodbyes.

I'd rather RW > GK > CB > CDM
Can only see Bruno cover as the other signing this summer,don't see us looking at a DM until Ole has tried out his McTominay experiment in that position first.
I’ve been saying for months, we’ll sign him in the last week of the window for his original asking price, after trying to haggle it down all window. And we’ll sign nobody else.
Whipped out the tarot cards, went to a gypsey fortune teller and passed an all seeing prophet on my way back walking past the bellowing smoke coming from OT. Coincidence that they all say the same thing? I THINK NOT.
Tier 1.
Do you not think Henderson deserves competing for no.1 spot? With him de gea and Romero on the books I can’t see us signing a new keeper as any sort of priority.
Yeah that is what I am hoping happens as well
Yeah rules out Grealish well at least for this summer anyway
One of the lads (Lee) 
Dortmund have already started training, that is just their "training camp" where they fly to switzerland and play some mini games etc.
Not competing, no. He deserves the spot.
It is no loss if he isn't good enough for us next season and we replace him anyway. As opposed to either playing and replacing DDG next summer or keeping both and having to still do that next summer.
The earth is flat. But shh don't tell.
If people are already crying out over Dortmund's 120m valuation for Sancho, can only imagine the outcry if the club were to stump up 80m for Grealish

Yeah I have accepted that we will now go for a cheaper option than Jack. Now I am quite gutted they didn't go down after all
Wyh is the smoke white? racist
Next you're going to completely shatter my illusions and tell me we're not going to sign the pope either
I suppose this sounded funny in your head.
I've lost some respect for Dortmund recently honestly, I never thought so much about them as a club, buying a player a few or two before they sell them on for huge money.
Dembele and Sancho especially, as much as there's postering from the club according to Raphael Honigstein saying they knew Sancho would join only for a few years and they expected him to leave.
Not a big fan of their policies.

When did you say that?
I think the whole Sancho taking the number 7 shirt and being revealed/signed on the 7th is too good to be true. It's a muppet's fantasy. The stars don't align for us that easily.
I love how we're all reduced to looking at images of smoke over Old Trafford. This is what the transfer window does to us.

I know you are only messing with us but appreciate you trying to raise muppet spirits today
In fairness, even before this window, since Jan 2019, we've seen the departures of Fellaini, Herrera, Valencia, Young, Lukaku, Alexis, Darmian and Smalling (including loans). That's 8 in total. 8 players who were very much first-teamers that the forum saw as deadwood and should be seen as quite some turnover. I don't think we'll see more than 3-4 more depart this window, as we do need some manner of depth and cover. That said, how much more "deadwood" would we have if we saw 4 more players leave?
What are you nuts? You want the guy to be underweight?
Just quit this forum now, you’ll never make it.
