If all this is true, then we definitely wont sign him. I mean it is not 10-15 millions in question, it is bloody 50
Thought so, but foor the look of it, seems more like horse manure. Media is also always playing the media game, truth is seldom part of it.God I hope that is just for one instalment rather than the whole thing, otherwise I wouldn't blame them telling us to get fecked
Maybe Woodward and team have done some oppo research --- and had some financial analysis on Dortmund and know their current/actual financial state of affairs. They may know its a bluff in view of the financial situation.

It will be interesting to see what happens now.
I mentioned to someone at Dortmund just now that there is a feeling around United that the Bundesliga side have to sell Sancho for financial reasons.
The answer was fairly quick in coming back - "they will see".
They're just pissed off that their feeder club could possibly sell to another team.I find it odd that so many Bayern fans are in here lapping up the negativity around the deal.
Why you even arsed?
You do know they are 12th on the list of most valuable clubs right? They aren’t a relegation threatened side. Their finances are still good. Again if they want to demand 120m they can or if they want to sell for 20m they can as well. You can call their bluff all you want. We may have had the upper hand if his contract was up in 2 years but from the looks of it it’s actually 2023. That switches the power back to Dortmund.
It's more about their owners are being stingy.Value is historical information including brand equity etc. In difficult times, cashflow management is critical.
They may be 12th most valuable but if you look at the Scousers or Arsenal, both more 'valuable' clubs and yet they are scrimping for pennies for this summer's transfers.

United: How much for Sancho?
BVB: 120. We don't want to sell, but we promised Jadon that we will if someone pays that.
United: Hmmm. We pay 50.
BVB: 120. You have time until 10.08. to pay or the deal is off.
United: 70. It's Corona-time. 120 is way too expensive, no one would ever pay that. We also don't care about your time limit or your feeder squad.
BVB: No.
United: Ok, we pay 100. 50 this year, 50 next year. You are a fecking selling club so stop trolling around.
BVB: No.
United: We pay 80. Another 40 if we win the UCL 3 times in a row and Sancho wins 3 Balon'Dor during that time.
BVB: No.
BVB: Time's up.
United: Ok ok, we pay 120, cash.
BVB: No. Time's up.
United: .... 130?
Somebody asked here, why Bayern fans are watching and posting in this thread. I cannot answer for all of them, but for me the reason is pretty simple: This Dortmund team is just one Klopp away from being the best club in Germany, and potentially in Europe. The player material they have gathered, especially how young they are, if kept together, being added with two or three players, and under a great coach, they could be world beaters.
But Dortmund has traditionally made underwhelming choices when it came to managers, with the obvious exception of Jürgen Klopp. (Dortmund fans: Please correct me if I’m wrong!). This team today, under Klopp, could kick the shit out of Bayern, just like they did in the early 2010s. Hence, what’s happening with Sancho, who is next to Haaland the most promising player of this group, is absolutely of interest for Bayern fans.
Our luck with transfers from this club has been all bad lately. I'd take a shot at Coman for 1/3 the price. Maybe establish a new French Connection between he, Tony and Pogba.
I really used to like Dortmund, they play exciting football most of the time and are the only club really able to at least threaten Bayern's dominance.
However, over the last few years I really came to despise their MO: they lure young talents with the promise of playing time and if they attract the attention of top clubs, they are allowed to go.
At least thats the promise, when in fact, as the time comes for players to leave and top clubs come knocking, they just price them out of a move.
They do that every single time and out of pure greed. They bought Sancho for 8m, why is, I don't know, 80m for example, not enough profit? Why does it have to be 112m? So Watzke can pat himself on the back again for being such a tough guy and then cry again when Bayern come for their players? Dembele had to go on strike to leave that shithole.
If you sell yourselves as a stepstone club, then don't do everything possible to trip the youngsters on their path. If the stories about intermediaries used in negotiations are true, that just shows how they really just aim to make it even harder to leave them.
Thats just a shitty attitude and I really don't care that much about the Clubs that deal with them, if they pay up their ridiculus fees, so be it. It's just unfair to their young players.
I also would like to know where the Dembele money went, as Dortmund are not really known to substantially invest.
What is the reason why Dortmund are going through intermediaries for their negotiations?
WTF?
It's not like we are giving the money to allow it but personally I'm sick and tired to let it pass anymore because I suffer with the club and can't stand someone to making foul out of us anymore.I agree, but there must always be exceptions to the rule. Meeting Shakhtar and Leicester’s valuation after months of haggling was stupid, and something we should not have done (Maguire’s good, but not £80M good). However, just like smartly meeting Palace’s £60M price tag for AWB, this is different. Sancho, as you say, is exceptional, and will sort our front 5 for the foreseeable.
Dortmund may be disrespecting us with their immovable price tag and constant degrading pressers, but I’d personally allow it this time. Sancho is already one of the best wingers in the world at 21.
It appears this transfer is not going to happen.
Dortmund issued a statement this morning, according to the BBC.
No bluff calling or brinkmanship. It's off.
What a ride ey? In the end its like a lot german posters said here. And all the ITK twitter "news" were BS, and reliable journalists like Röckenhaus spoke the truth.
The biggest suprise for me is the secret extension of Sanchos contract, fantastic. Dortmund now got a good team for the season, looking forward too!
We've been discussing that statement all dayIt appears this transfer is not going to happen.

I'm not saying that that the deal is off and I'm not saying that things like these are not part of the business.You're the one claiming the club should never be taken for mugs again or whatever 'pity games' means.
I'm saying it's business and the deal is still on regardless of whatever nonsense is spouted to the press.
United havent walked away from the deal so I'm not sure what you're praising Woodward for exactly.
Yeah, but with a Sancho.You sure have all the tools to get second again next year.
Just looked on the BBC and all they were reporting was what Zorc said yesterday. They only additional thing was them asking if the belief at united that dortmund have to sell for financial reasons was answered , `they will see, time will tell on that one. `It appears this transfer is not going to happen.

If we do somehow snatch victory from the jaws of defeat and sign Sancho, I don't want any of you Dortmund posters piping up about how it's a 'win' to get the money and Zorc played us. Today has made it clear which you prefer between the money and the playerYeah, but with a Sancho.
Yeah, but with a Sancho.
The actual transfer deadline is October 5th. You should save your gloating for then if you have a reason to.What a ride ey? In the end its like a lot german posters said here. And all the ITK twitter "news" were BS, and reliable journalists like Röckenhaus spoke the truth.

I have wrote it before and repeat myself: Both ways would have been great: 120 Million to sign new players (in a defined deadline) or al least another season with Sancho. Now we got Sancho and don't have to sign someone in a hurry, and he knows the team, we know him and what he is cabable of. You can see it also like this: a lot of arrogant bitterness against BVB or posters here were always full of suggestions that BVB is only a selling club and prevent itself from being better (ignoring all the facts and history but ok..). Now those posters with this attitude can pat themself on the back, Dortmund is on the way to be able to follow those advises.If we do somehow snatch victory from the jaws of defeat and sign Sancho, I don't want any of you Dortmund posters piping up about how it's a 'win' to get the money and Zorc played us.
