Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

[mu4c_20le]

Why? 120m is a made up number. It’s not like a player has an MSRP. They might accept less. Might not. Worth trying. Problem is, they hold all the cards this summer.

All figures are made up

 

[Sandikan]

GAZUNDER.
That's a word I hate to look up!

 

[dev1l]

Over here it s in panic mode.
There s still 56 days till the window closes

 

[Judas]

Since he has three years left on his contract, pay up or forget it.

Basically. Makes sense why they were so bullish about getting exactly what they want for him.

 

[strandty]

Has anything really changed? If €120m is the price that everyone knows then if it’s paid, it’s done. Regardless of contract extension or not, if they’ve quoted a price and it’s met, it’s done.

 

[bosnian_red]

They paid that fee cos of the Neymar sale though. Everyone knew how much Barca got and hiked the price accordingly. The opposite should be true here where the fee is more realistic.

I'm not upset by it but why do Dortmund only now have a backbone? Pulisic went to Chelsea for £58m. Aubameyang went to Arsenal for £56m. Is Sancho worth double those two to Dortmund? I don't get why they are suddenly playing such hardball with us. We have done business before for Kagawa and Mkhitaryan so it doesn't feel like we have poor relationship with Dortmund.

Sancho is a better player and prospect than Dembele was. Hes a better player worth more than Auba or Pulisic. Auba as well was a lot older when he left, and Pulisic im pretty sure had 1.5 seasons left on his contract and was a bench player behind Sancho despite being older (and he never found consistency).

 

[MDFC Manager]

Of course it is. This guy is pandering because Ed Woodward abuse = sounds legit and makes you believable.

Yup, agreed!

Shocking if true but that tweet literally sounds like indykaila

Man's talking in 3rd person as well

 

[elnorte]

Daniel Harris:

That last part sounds like a throw back to the days of Peter Kenyon.

 

[Goku23]

feck off Woody

What a *insert abuse* just pay the installments!

 

[TheLord]

Looks like the transfer deal is off.

 

[Rolaholic]

Playing out exactly like Dembele if that's the case. He hasn't looked all that chuffed to be back with them either

 

[Compton22]

Wellard

 

[Camy89]

Howard Nurse: 'Deal for Sancho close, agreed terms. £4.5m from Man City. Here we go!'

 

[sparx99]

Evra didn’t have a choice. Woody activated the extra year.

Are you sure? I thought Evra was a free agent at the time and a quick google says he signed a new extension in 2014 not a extension clause. Still, I think it is almost the only example I've heard of it happening.

 

[Lemansky]

Calm down! Next step is a transfer request by Sancho surely. All part of negotiations.

 

[pascell]

I cant be bothered. Feck Dortmund. On to our next target.

Feck Dortmund? This is on Woodward, not Dortmund

 

[dwd]

It's days like today where the kermits get separated from the tadpoles. We will still get him.

 

[romufc]

Has anything really changed? If €120m is the price that everyone knows then if it’s paid, it’s done. Regardless of contract extension or not, if they’ve quoted a price and it’s met, it’s done.

Yep, it has always been that simple. We are making a meal out of this transfer.

We know the price, if we cannot pay it move on to other targets.

 

[MikeUpNorth]

I’m not sure we have 120m to spend this summer anyway, let alone on one player.

 

[croadyman]

No more games Utd just pay it

 

[Womp]

Who the feck even is Daniel Harris? Did he not recently say the deal was completed? Looks like a ridiculous claim now in hindsight

 

[ChaddyP]

You all are a bunch of weaklings

 

[DutchRed7]

FWIW: Skybet odds on Sancho to United just went from 1.05 to 1.80

Odds havent moved in almost 2 weeks

 

[VanGaalEra]

That last part sounds like a throw back to the days of Peter Kenyon.

Ronaldinho

 

[2ndTouch]

In English, uses the word 'Plan' doesn't sound so convinced!

The english communication is bit more vague than Zorc, might be intentional or not



"We count on Sancho. He'll play for us next season. The decision is definitive. This should answer all questions, I reckon."

These are some pretty bold statements. If there's any backpedaling to be achieved, it won't be for any less than those €120m.

 

[lewwoo]

There was everyone thinking we were finally turning the corner as a club. Just feck off glazers and take your cretin with you.

 

[UnitedSofa]

This just shows how little Romano and other journalists actually know about the situation. They are briefed what the clubs want them and us to know..

That’s not the case whatsoever, just because it’s not the news you wanted, doesn’t mean people like Romano are any less credible

 

[My only Eric]

Zorc can zuck my pulled down pants

 

[Compton22]

Seriously, does Ed intentionally try to piss off the selling club? If we agreed everything why did he have to try and pull the wool over their eyes?

 

[cyberman]

Sounds like a dickhead covering the fact he was wrong.

 

[UncleBob]

Are you sure? I thought Evra was a free agent at the time and a quick google says he signed a new extension in 2014 not a extension clause. Still, I think it is almost the only example I've heard of it happening.

its true, evra wasnt all that happy about it

 

[VanGaalEra]

Are you sure? I thought Evra was a free agent at the time and a quick google says he signed a new extension in 2014 not a extension clause. Still, I think it is almost the only example I've heard of it happening.

Woody extended it, Evra confirmed that was the reason he was pissed at him.

 

[Rolaholic]

 

[AgentSquirrel]

I can't see how we would be unaware of the 1 year extension.

We wouldn't be. Only fans who think they know as much as(if not more) about whats going on than the club, believe this.

 

[sparx99]

Well it was nice having the hope that our owners and management were serious about getting us back challenging. Backing out on Sancho is 100% just a lack of ambition and just shows that they're ok with being top 4 challengers at best.

City strengthening, Liverpool already at the top, Chelsea aggressively strengthening... United have to do substantial reinforcements this summer, or else we're fecked next season.

Bit early to judge isn't it? We could go out and sign a CB, a RW, a CM and still have change left over if we choose not to do this deal. When Ferran Torres moves for €23m it does make Sancho seem awfully expensive.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Feck Dortmund? This is on Woodward, not Dortmund

Ok. Feck Woodward and feck Dortmund. Happy?

 

[Man-United]

On to the Grealish thread. Good we don't pay what Dortmund want.

 

[duffer]

I’m not sure we have 120m to spend this summer anyway, let alone on one player.

You'll be selling a few, surely?

Smalling, Henderson, Lingard and Rojo will generate a big chunk.

 

[UnitedSofa]

There was everyone thinking we were finally turning the corner as a club. Just feck off glazers and take your cretin with you.

The meltdown is incredible.

It’s not Fifa or FM

Lots of contracts have little clauses in them which of course takes TIME

Relax.

 

[RUCK4444]

Err what? If we pay we still get him.

TBF to Dortmund, if he's got 3 years on his contract, it's a fair price.

Would be very surprised if Zork does a 180 and sells him now. There's not much wiggle room to back out of that sort of definitive statement.

I'm not disagreeing that it's a fair price, I believe it is, and that we should have paid it before the deadline they gave.
