In other news, Bad Ragaz looks like a decent spot to vacation in.

God I wish we would just pay up front what they want,however they aren't helping the situation with those intermediaries which is probably getting Utd's back up
Thats interesting. Playing games through the media.
It used to be rare.
Can this surpass Pogba's transfer thread in terms of pages/replies? If it drags on for another month or longer I'd say we're on course to make it.
Also, Vidal thread had 647 pages, how? I have zero recollection of it. I remember Ozil, Sneijder or Van Persie sagas, but for some reasons Vidal never happened in my mind.

I would seriously doubt if he is on 190k per week. Last time I checked De Jong is on 16m per year with 10m base. That's roughly 100-120k base salary .
In other words, that was a BS post.
I how his salary demands are not getting silly!
United should learn and start progressing with any other deals they wish to make this summer.

Transfer sagas always pretty much pure speculation!
I have no clue what United are offering Sancho. But I think the basic point remains that Sancho's camp probably knows that they will get offers in the 300-400K per week range next summer if they have 3-4 big clubs trying to sign him. He doesn't have much incentive to take less than that right now.
A whole vowel worse!
That’s just part of the failure. We only have to look at our last signing to see the other failure. We spent last summer briefing that Bruno Fernandes wasn’t good enough or worth the fee. The summer before that we did the same with Harry Maguire. Woodward is a joke.
We likely cannot afford it. We need to get Dortmund to agree to a payment structure.
It's funny, we always moan about the current management and the slowness of the big deals, but it's often been like this.
I remember us signing Yorke a few days before the first game back in 98 or so. But back then there wasn't this forum pouring over every single aspect of it.
Google Sancho+wages and you will find many stories reporting the 190K per week figure. Believe what you want.
It's just a little airborne. It's still good, it's still good!
I suppose as an Arsenal fan you can relate to this pretty well.
Do you reckon we will do that,surely getting Sanchez off the wage bill would make it easier to afford him.
True enough.
I wonder if Sancho’s cheering on his new team for next season tonight?
It is also wrong, 190k (I sincerly that this Euro and not Pound as that would be even more unrealistic) is 10,5 Mil. € per year. There are only two players at Dortmund who are on that kind of money: Reus and Hummels. Sancho would appearantly be on this kind of money if he would have signed a new maximum length deal in the Spring.
Claims that Dortmund would raise Sanchos salary for the next season were by the way also denied by Zorc today.
I want Sancho at the club but not at any cost. We've just got rid of our most costly mistake ever and if Dortmund are willing to pass on such a windfall in terms of transfer fees then let's just move on. Feck them. We've other areas of the team/squad that need attention, not to mention alternatives to Sancho. If it's not going to happen, let's stop dicking around with Sancho.
We definitely need that level of confidence in this thread
Bizarre transfer saga, what’s the point in these stupid games. Would Dortmund be pulling this shit if Real came knocking?
The good news is we seem to be briefing about not giving up. When the deal seems dead we usually brief a load of bollocks about not signing the player.
If we can’t afford him, Copenhagen have no chance
Exactly why I've doubted its dead just because of what Zorc said. All a part of the same song and dance every time they to try to save face and come out looking strong despite losing top talent
Yeah they always do this. Did the same to Barce with Dembele.
Totally agree with you!
Years and years ago, fans knew nothing about a transfer until it was announced on late evening TV news. Out of the blue, it would be announced that Ron Atkinson had broken the transfer record by signing Bryan Robson or Alex Ferguson had signed Teddy Sheringham.
3G and social media changed all of that and created a niche industry based solely on transfer rumour and speculation, even providing full time employment for many people and Sky TV's deadline day programme has become an annual cultural event. This leads to the idiocy of a youtube fan channel having a 30 minute interview with a journalist on what he thinks are United transfer plans, wannabe ITK's like Fabrizio Romano who are actually just doing guesswork by stalking agents, and MSM football journalists who don't even know critical and foundational facts like the length of an existing contract, falsely reporting that player terms are agreed.
As you point out, 95% of what is reported is guesswork and mostly false. And fans whom are enjoined by social media get sucked in and react to this. What should just be a fun pastime to entertain football fans during the football-less summer months, but it seems many get over invested and take it far too seriously, leading to slander, abuse and other threatening behaviour towards club CEO's and financiers.
@TsuWave
I think @Clermontois is right.
Look at what Bayern paid for Leroy Sane', Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman. Even Perisic on loan. There's other players, solutions for the right wing if the club is willing to look further.
The price set by Borussia Dortmund is ridiculously expensive. They bought him for peanuts and want to book in a ridiculous profit. COVID has to affect the finances of the club.

The main problem seems to be the upfront fee that Dortmund are demanding. Getting rid of Sanchez saves us c. £20m a year from the wage bill, but if Dortmund wants £80m+ up front, then we need to find that cash from somewhere. We already owe £185m in outstanding fees, all due in the next 12 months...
Perisic Vs Sancho. It's like shifting focus from Mbappe to Cuadrado.
This is one of the problems we’ve made for ourselves. Once we say we want someone, we’ll more often than not go after them at any cost. We don’t walk away and go after an alternative, but it’s something we need to do so clubs will take us seriously and realise we have a breaking point.
We should just walk away in that case, because they aren’t getting more from anyone else.
Did you read the whole message or did you just pick a word out of context?
I don't disagree but wouldn't apply it to signing players like Sancho, Rooney Rio erc.
A lot of big dick swinging from United today following Dortmund's flexing
Ok you guys think £70M is a fair valuation for Sancho. Dortmund thinks otherwise, and in Dortmund's position, I'd think the same as them
