you’re a comedian. A nonsensical one, but still amusing.Dembele moved for +£100M and hardly lit the world up on fire. A year later both Coutinho and then Felix moved for +£100M.
Hell, a significant amount of posters on this forum will tell you Pogba’s transfer didn’t work out, I do not share that view, yet transfer fees have only gone up since.
Selling clubs set the valuation. Not buying clubs. Of course buying clubs will try to argue it down, but what’s understood doesn’t have to be explained. If you dropped 5 bags on a player that ends up playing poorly, when you come knock on my door to buy a player that’s among the best performing in the world for their position, I’ll demand 8 bags minimum. This isn’t rocket science.
So he’s an international, which he is, but he’s hardly an international?
You quoted me, unprovoked by the way, to tell me £70M for Sancho is “quite fair”. All I said is that’s not going to fly with all the precedents that have been set in the market.
Clearly, it’s not flying, but you just keep coming back to quote me with more nonsense.
There would be no logic. Much like there’s no logic in waiting for a release clause to lapse and the pay more for a player. Woodward doesn’t negotiate following logic and this isn’t the first time there have been whispers of Woodward agreeing a deal and then trying to lowball afterwards.
Don't think Zaha is even a remote option, the fact that there's no noise whatsoever from any credible sources about alternative targets, even in other positions provides the last glimmering bit of hope in this mess.
I still wonder why I do this every year? I didn't like it with Sneijder and I don't like it now. And at that point in time we still won titles.

Only United could lose a one horse race for a transfer target.
Yeah I don't get why Woodward is getting a lot of stick right now. This is really proof that most journos no feck all or atleast know what they are allowed to.
I'm questioning all I thought to be true for the Havertz deal right now. Werner went from being set to join Liverpool to signing for us in 48hrs. Now prolonged ITKs crap spewing whatsoever.
Out to evens to sign him on SkyBet now.....very tempted.
Not to mention he needs to be absolutely thick to believe the drivel he has posted Multi million pound deal and he is assuming United won't even know the length of Sancho's contract with Dortmund , he seems to be confusing Woodward with himself.
I’m sure we are willing to meet that price. The problem according to many journalists is, how much up front we are paying rather than yearly instalments.
The "saga" was driven by attention seekers and liars and of course our resident muppets.
Im not sure it was ever a saga in reality.
We may have made a bid that but that's debatable. Social media liars added plenty of lies and fake news. I mean some of them were saying it was nearly done.
We might get him next season.
Its not happening this year
Regarding point 1. How do you know that?
This forum at 9am this morning - "We all know what Zorc is going to say, it's fine doesn't mean anything"
*Zorc says what everyone already knew was coming*
Now: MELTDOWWWWNNNNNN

No need to panic about this one.
If we get him, great. If not, Rashford, Martial and Greenwood have been more than good enough to get the chance to kick on next season.
Get some good cover in for them and we don’t have to worry about paying 100 million or whatever on one player.

Nah. We are pretty rubbish at lots of different things. The last few years have shown that. Signing Sancho wouldn't change the past but it might indicate we're now heading in a better direction.
That being said I couldn't give a toss if it happens or not. As I said in a previous post even if he does sign he'll probably just end up being a let down.
The problem is we're not Bayern, if we were then Dortmund would be happy for us to have him.
FFS, just pay the fecking money Ed or if not just move onto our other targets (whoever they are).
Is it possible for us to sign someone just once without a long drawn out saga?
As I’ve said all along, we’ll get him, but it’ll be deadline day & we’ll pay the full asking price. These negotiation tactics will be all for nothing.

Pay up or get out... They hold all the cards.
Who is good cover that will cost small money, please no more Dan James types because he is terrible. Players cost shit loads when we are involved, rather pay top whack for proven quality myself.
It's like a primary school in here I don't see why people got caught up in this one as there was zero chance of good old eddy coughing up £90m upfront and up to 30m in add ons,
Get ready for some mediocre signings and more mattress and noodle deals ..... Woody is living the dream

If his contract is indeed until 2023, then we’re not in a strong position to negotiate that price down....
Problem is we have Ed in charge of our cards
He didn't get anything wrong. He said personal terms were agreed, he never once mentioned anything about a contract.And Romano getting a feckin KEY piece of information wrong (Sancho’s contract) is just swept under the rug for you I guess fella?
Of course he knows the minute by minute updates on the negotiations but they didn’t bother to tell him the length of the contract he’s currently in?? Laughable.
c’mon give it up. My neighbour knows as much as Romano, I told you earlier
Wait a minute, did you actually think a contract is signed before clubs agree a fee?! This is quite hilarious, and would explain why you are so misled!
Yes but woody has been doing this shit for over 7 years. Lets see if he has an ace up his sleeve
Basically
Facts. Every time I see people suggesting Traore my stomach turns, and I start getting headaches.
While not signing Jadon Sancho is a big hit, I don't think it's the biggest.
To me, that would be a hit to the club's reputation and standing. We are known as the club who can use big money and get the very best amongst our younger players in a squad.
We are also known to be able to attract the very best players in thee world.
If Sancho is happy to stay at Dortmund, over Manchester United, the club looks like a laughing stock. Especially given we're also in the Champions League come next season.
Even if he has agreed personal terms, it means nothing, as he sees Dortmund as a viable option for him instead of United.
While there's still a chance, however it may be decreasing, my biggest concern is the clubs constant lack of being able to attract the very best players in Europe anymore.
It actually feels a bit like other clubs like to take the piss out of United and we allow them to.

I’m sure our scouts can find a right winger that can compete with Greenwood without having to shell out 100 million. We’re buggered if not.
We can’t say players cost loads when we’re involved and then hand over incredible money for Sancho, maybe this is one to say no to, to show we won’t just pay the asking price for any player.
Dembele who played 7 times and Felix who played 1 game for their national teams before transfers means they were national team regulars. Sancho was played 8 or 9 games it hardly an international
The guy is a madman
We'll probably go for Josh King, Grealish and some random center back like Pau Torres if we don't get Sancho. Would 100% rather just Sancho, as that would push us up a level vs just staying at a top 4 challenger level with those others.
It is a lot of money to spend in a pendemic though isn't it?
I'm afraid sir if there's any "thicko" it's not Ed.
The fact you didn't know about 2023 doesn't mean Ed didn't.
Do you think the agent wouldn't have mentioned it?
Those are Arsenal type signings
Pfft I’m not sure what to think. I’m not even sure if my opinion has changed much after these comments. Still think it can go either way.
One thing is for sure, I’d absolutely love to know what people that are actually involved in the negotiations are thinking and wether they know what is and isn’t true. A Netflix documentary in the style of Drive to Survive would be immense if it ever happened. Seeing what actually goes into buying/selling a player would open a lot of people’s eyes I’d imagine.
