Muppets Unite.
Ronaldinho, Thiago, Griezmann, Dybala and others as well. It’s a hard life to be a proper muppet.
A few, the original Sanchez saga, Thiago, Sneijder.Has there been a comparable transfer that went this far and failed? I have not followed all transfers closely so curious. Seems so many have little faith in this.
I can't see the signs this is failing.
Ramsey's transfer is not really comparable to this. He was just a young prospect at Cardiff who was attracting attention of Utd and Arsenal. Sancho is more in the Rooney category where though he's young, he's already more or less proven his worth and you know he's gonna be a superstar.
And I don't remember us ever being this close to Hazard. The likes of Real, Chelsea, City and ourselves were all in the mix if I'm remembering correctly.
Edit- As @Acquire Me says it's the likes of Thiago and Griezmann that seemed destined to join us, only for that to never happen.
agree with the first 2, but dybala did not want to come, Sarri practically begged someone to take him, and he personally set his wages stupid high. Griezmann, who bloody knows what was happening with that one.
In recent memory, thiago, Kroos, Cesc??? come close, but this deal for sancho has to go spectacularly wrong from here to fail. We aren't haggling on price (seemingly) its purely structure.
Every day theyre posting 'debut' throwbacks at the moment. They posted about our record breaking signing on the main site last week.
Today a post about Pogba returning and signing.
Sancho signing/debut coming soon . . .
Yeah forgot the original Hazard one. Everyone thought he was coming to us, even the fans of Lille who were chanting good luck in Manchester to him on his last game. Didn't help that he had negotiated the right to announce the club himself so we were all on tenterhooks right till the end.The muppetry and race for Hazard was strong I recall. Was very close to joining us it seemed. I remember it seemed a choice between us and Chelsea.
Anyways, I wrote "Not completely but", so no reason to make a direct comparison

If they refuse, they can only sell him for around 40m next year. You think they'll do such a thing? I don't think so.
It's in ''our hands'' mate!
How do you back that statement up?
Barca have Messi for RW. Madrid are after Mbappe.
Even if they did want Sancho instead of Mbappe which is highly unlikely, they’d first have to get rid of Bale and one or two of Asensio/Rodrygo/Vinicius Jr. Again, I don’t see that happening anytime soon.
Messi is 33 Mate and Madrid do things as they want
Remember the furore over such an ordinary player. He was built up as the new Vieria or some thingNot exactly as high profile but there was this classic
TBF he always said it was between 3 clubs and there weren't categorical claims that it was Utd. Only muppetryYeah forgot the original Hazard one. Everyone thought he was coming to us, even the fans of Lille who were chanting good luck in Manchester to him on his last game. Didn't help that he had negotiated the right to announce the club himself so we were all on tenterhooks right till the end.
Pretty much, just a bit of a pissing contest in the media by both clubs to keep us interested.Am I the only one who wants to sign him but just happy to wait for the final announcement?
My point is: why is this thread so fecking long? Hasn't this been a fairly straightforward saga of details being ironed out? Or have I missed a lot?

De Gea to Real Madrid... well its almost done deal until last minute fax machine...Has there been a comparable transfer that went this far and failed? I have not followed all transfers closely so curious. Seems so many have little faith in this.

Don't we know if had to slip that in there...Sure, everyone knows that!
Like I said, it's not a big deal at all. John Terry is a Man United fan FFS!

Sancho has been pictured in London at a house party for rappers Krept and Konan. I think the lad has some growing up to do. It seems he is a party animal and those romours to do with his disciplinary issues may be right. He is without doubt a top talent but am concerned about his lifestyle. Dortmund are in preseason mode he should be focused on that really.Seems like the Dortmund squad got a couple of days off before starting their training camp in Switzerland. Delaney was in Denmark yesterday, so I wouldn't read much into Sancho flying to London.
Well I'm looking forward to playing a game of where's Sancho today. If he ends up back in Germany then he's off to the training camp. If he's still in the UK then it's imminent.

He was just too good for the Norwegian league. Thats all it was.
I don't know how you arrive at "40m next year" but that's a complete misjudgement in my opinion and your whole argumentation falls apart after that. If I had to speculate then I would say that he'll cost around 70-80m € next year.
Remember that Leroy Sané cost 50m with one year left without playing a single game this season coming off an ACL.
For Dortmund the calculation is quite simple which is what do we get this year minus what we expect to get next year and if the difference is not big enough then they wont sell.
As far as I can see both clubs are acting pretty reasonable here.

Then you should completely ignore what Rio used to get up to over his years with us including midseason.Sancho has been pictured in London at a house party for rappers Krept and Konan.

Bait. Just to raise Utd's bid.https://www.bild.de/bild-plus/sport...860,view=conversionToLogin.bild.html#fromWall
plus users can read it here. Dortmund offering him a pay raise if he decides to stay (from 6 m a year to 10m a year).
You can read the article in transfermarkt quoting bild that he earns now 6 m and will get a pay raise to 10 if he decides to stay.

Seriously. At the time be hyped as the next future great midfielders. It really felt like a huge loss. Little did we know what an average and limited player he'd turn out to be.Remember the furore over such an ordinary player. He was built up as the new Vieria or some thing
They're not going to these lengths for him not signing.
