Absolutely. I was just thinking about how much we'd ask for Sancho if we were selling him and I'm sure everyone where would quote 100 million and then some. So of course Dortmund want to make a killing on this one. Just remains to be seen whether we now walk away or go really big.
I hope not. He made some good points. I'm not in favour of banning people based on silly disagreements
I would love if United's twitter used it for the unveiling.
Dude, i'm not agreeing or disagreeing with his points. He's in the wrong bloody thread !! A theadban merely indicates he can't post in this specific thread, since he's been derailing it and spurring other posters to do the same for the last 24 hours. it's annoying to come into this thread expecting Sancho updates when he's spamming this thread with off topic discussions.
It mostly does on this forum, which is to be expected. We're happy to have the input of supporters of other teams and other leagues, but Redcafe's not a general football forum. If you post here, you have to expect criticism of your team that you may feel is unfounded.
We do need to do something to change the formula. If this transfer doesn't happen and then in a season's time the player moves on to a club like Real Madrid or even a closer rival, we will have to ask why.
The club is improving and we have some talented players within the squad. There is an opportunity to actually do something and now is the time to be making those positive changes. If a Director of Football is what it takes to move the club to the next level, then that's what needs to be done. We can't just rely on reputation alone and think that eventually we can fluke our way to a title win...the dice doesn't always roll that way.
It's a huge statement if we can get this signing done. The difference is when I know that a club like Real Madrid or Bayern Munich are after a player, the deal usually gets done. We seem to get linked to a lot of players, which is normal I guess for a club of this size. With this deal however, it looks like there is a possibility of it being achievable, so we either commit and really go for it, or we look elsewhere.
Can't stand this bloke. Literally giving him a job to rehash stories from other sources
It literally goes to show, however good these journalists are, they speculate alot as well.
Everyone knows we are in for Sancho, almost every football fan knows this so a journalist coming out saying "United are in talks" or "Talks continue" does not mean they know something we dont.
Romano keeps saying personal terms are agreed, so wouldnt Manutd know if his contract expires in 2023?
United stand have been putting out Romano's words as gospel. Romano said it is done so it's done. I think this deal will run and run until the fans tire.
You see that's where you're wrong. It's just common manners and courtesy when you're a guest somewhere. It's nothing to do with Brexit. Perhaps you don't understand.
But you do seem to gatekeep quite aggressively to be fair.
Not signing Sancho would be an embarrassment. We've signposted clearly that he is our primary target and has been so for the last 14 months. Getting used to us missing out tbf.
No worries mate. Its a forum so we are here to disagree.
I will start with your last point. You say Dortmund are posturing to keep the player. If that was the case then why not simply state it clearly that he will not be sold. Why come up with this hypothetical deadline and a price? The very fact that they did means they are open to selling him.
Yes, I agree that barring a handful, all clubs have to sell their best players, but then that is the point, they do not pretend to be above selling their best players which BVB are doing here (or at least their fans are by claiming they are not a feeder club to the elite). If somebody offered us 200 million for our best player, and that player doesn't wanna go, Utd would reject that bid, because for Utd trophies would be more valuable than that 200 million. BVB would never do that because for them money is important. And this ties into the point regarding club ambitions. BVB are a well run club and sure they have ambitions of staying a top club, but they do not have the ambitions of being THE CLUB in Germany. Yes, this is of course related to their financial realities, which are different from a club like Bayern or Utd, but the point remains that they are not as ambitious as these clubs.
Southampton are widely referred to as the feeder club for Liverpool, which is unfair, but not totally untrue. Soton would accept that as long as they can maintain their PL status with the odd run in Europe and get big fees for their top players, they will be more than happy. That is the extent of their ambitions and they would accept it. BVB fans don't seem to accept the extent of their club's ambitions despite repeated evidence for the same.
And lastly, I do not agree that selling Sancho will see a massive drop in BVB's league position. The likes of Reus, Brandt, Haaland, Hazard etc coupled with a solid defense are more than good enough to get top 4 in the Bundesliga. Similarly, even keeping Sancho I don't see them really winning the league because more than quality, BVB lack the winning mentality that Bayern have in spades.
There is no sanity in the transfer forum, never has been. You must be new if you're looking for sanity in the transfer forum. You'll find lots in the other sections. You'll find creaming over Bayern and Dortmund. But forget about it in the transfer forum. It's a lunatic asylum and always will be.
It’s an Internet forum which is open to all.
I'm sure some on here claimed he was and thats why his tweets were on hereDaniel Harris is not an ITK
Kind of have backed ourselves to a bit of a corner here and it'd be especially hard to reconcile not getting it done a year after breaking the transfer record for a defender with slabhead. It would've been a bit easier to negotiate hard with them before that. Still believe that Sancho would pay more dividends in the long run.
It's exactly the kind of backing of Ole he should be getting if we're really trying to build on finishing third and not rest on our laurels especially with our other rivals strengthening. Not getting his no.1 target could be quite a blow to all the momentum we've been building in 2020
Were gona do a Bruno and get him in January armt we
Why are you looking for insight on this thread? Do you not know the purpose of this thread?
Even if he is staying, why do they feel the need to do all these interviews? We must be proper broke if we miss out on him because we refused to pay €120m for one of the brightest talents in world football.
Either they are escalating their posturing or they have actually made up their mind. I guess the 120m is no longer the fee we would have to pay.
How? Why?
The irony is that it feels like all these 'so glad he is staying' messages are designed to achieve the opposite - push United to pay up so he can leave. If that's not the purpose, then what is?
So that if they do end up selling him he ends up being the bad guy in the story publicly as Dortmund did all they could to keep their player like with Dembele
We go through this crap every year, i dunno if it will or won't happen but this is just pointless.
The pogba saga the amount of times there was no discussions he was staying players saying the same it actually means nothing.
Whats he meant to say on tv in the position "Jadon actually wants to feck off he wants to go back home and get paid more"
I'm pleasantly surprised the noise around Pogba is so quiet that gives me hope that we are gonna do something this window as Raiola will be first to let everyone know if we don't improve.
I can't see Dortmund playing with their fans like this with Zorc and Witsel's quotes. It's either transfer request or nothing - and I can't see him doing the former.
We move on.
We move on.
Looking unlikely now.
Ed is a certified b’stard if he lets us down on this. It proves him and the owners are short-termists, happy with the money from CL qualification, and with no desire to improve the team beyond that.
Gonna don a Kermit costume and chain myself to the top of OT.

It set the precedent that we'll still pay over the odds in the end to get our guy regardless of bluster. Makes it all the more harder to get a selling party to come down and meet us in the middle now unless they're in financial trouble in the first place like Sporting were in January. Dortmund don't seem to be in that situation just yet so they have just about all the leverage you can have here
They play the fans like this all the time, it’s nothing new from Zorc.
What a week can do. This time last week, it was all good news and now its the complete opposite.
The deal looks further and further away by the day. I was confident that this deal will get done about 80% last week, but it looks like 40% for me.
Well, Dortmund fans must be used to Zorc comments.
It literally makes feck all difference. As if we paid £10mill less for Maguire, or didn't sign him at all, would lead to Dortmund saying "Alright, you'll get a special discount for Sancho then"
