If they aren't selling why are they still at the negotiation table. Why haven't all the Dortmund /German press come out and say well that's it! Negotiations over, club have packed up and moving on. Why haven't the British press who love a negative story about us not said similar. These things have yet to happen. Romano who is on the side of the agents and Lawyers says it's still being negotiated.
I think there is a bit of a deadlock at the moment between the two clubs. But to believe that negotiation is done sancho stays doesn't really seem to be the reality.
If he'd said we weren't interested in him but loads of other journalists were saying we were would you believe him then or not?
I think people are hanging on every word he says because it's sounding positive. It's what these guys do. They feed on the drama and pull on the transfer heartstrings.
Why didn't he know about the contract extension if he's got inside info from Dortmund or Sancho's camp? He'd have known if he had.
What's more is that he's insinuating other journalists with a strong track record also know nothing, as similar reports were made by Hirst for example.
I disagree. They are selling club and they want to get as much as they can. Why to blame them for that? Why should they be "nice" guys and give players without trying to get every euro which they can get.
It is business. No room from being nice. That is why we should do it also and try to convince Sancho to make transfer request.
Reading between the lines, it seems like it is just a ploy to entice Man Utd into hitting the panic button and putting in a bigger offer.
None of this makes a difference. Dortmund aren't even talking to United about Sancho. They can say whatever they want for all I care.
Probably 95% of what's tweeted and speculated against is garbage made up of fake news and just wums.
We will bide our time like we did with Bruno and Maguire, the weak amongst us won’t like it, but in the end we’ll get the result we want.
That's exactly my point. They're saying these things to entice them to come to negotiate on their terms.
IF the deadline isn’t real then all that we know is Dortmund dont really want to sell and will only sell if the magic number is hit. It’s as simple as that. I hope it is just a ploy to get us to bed, because then that gives me hope that we might just put up.
I doubt that United would bend over that easily and give Dortmund whatever they want so soon. If anything like that does happen, it'll happen close to the deadline.
My thoughts exactly. I can`t remember anytime a selling club yapped this much to the media about a player that is supposedly not up for sale especially when the buyer has remained completely silent with public statements. They seem to be the ones pushing this deal more than we do. Whatever is happening behind the scenes is anyone`s guess but incredibly naive to think there isn`t more to come from this Sancho saga
Some briefs beginning to come out about club looking to reallocate the Sancho funds into other parts of the squad. It's very dissapointing, but this is looking very unlikely at this stage. Looks like we couldn't negotiate the deal. Was an uncontested shot at probably the best youngster on the planet, missed opportunity, but I don't doubt we'll use the money to strengthen the squad
As a Westphalian I can definitely say it is, and believe me, Westphalians are never wrong.
The reports say if this can't be done.
Big part to miss out. Stop being so negative! Again!
That's worked the last 7 years.
I think this saga is done its better if we close this thread.The Woodward handling of this saga showed again how incompetent we are with transfer dealings.
Are you referring to Duncan Castles' podcast? Besides that, I haven't seen anything else from United-associated journalists.
So you think it's of and we should walk away?
Close it and don’t come back.
You being negative about this keeps me convinced its actually happening. Thread won't be closed and please stick around to keep the spirits.
It's not being negative, it's honestly clutching to think it's happening at this stage imo. It's being realistic. We don't have the capability to pay anywhere near what they are valuing at, our financial reports and the current global pandemic justify that and they're a club with very little intention to sell for any price apart from their valuation, which is backed up by the use of the intermediary and the slow responses etc.
We are trying to negotiate a price with a team that just doesn't want to negotiate, it seems, which is made more difficult by the fact that the player themselves really doesn't seem all that arsed to stay at Dortmund. It's very clear he won't push for a move.
I don't think it's all that bad though, it's unfortunate, but I think we'd be just as good if we were to invest in the squad.
I think threre's alot of zest still in this saga..
The clubs been going since 1878
Exactly. It would be negligent if we were not sounding out backup plans. Until October or we spunk too much of this reported fee on somebody else to afford Sancho it is on.
We have been classy to keep this under wraps while negotiating. The part about a brief saying United are frustrated with BVB and Zorc’s statement the other day is spot on when he could have said no comment
We aren't negotiating a price, though. We're past that stage. What we are negotiating on at the moment is the pay structure. Dortmund want more money up front, but we'd rather pay up less of that so that we can strengthen other areas.
The truth is you have no idea and nor do I. Until the window shuts or Sancho or United come out and say it's over there's still a chance.
Just don't know what purpose it serves coming in here to tell everyone it's off all the time serves other than to provoke reaction?
Put the thread on ignore and shut it. Nobody misses you on here anyway
I'm still confident this will get done.
Yes... And?
Sancho can quell all transfer talk and commit to BVB but thus far nothing, which is telling.
The initial figures and our insistence on add-ons are the issue though, right? I would be very surprised to see us be able to pay what they want is all. I genuinely do hope I'm wrong, but this pandemic is very unfortunate timing to me.
Only chance I see this happening is making Sancho push for a move, but that doesn't seem to be possible.
Actually it might not quell anything because muppets would then reference the below..
When do BVB get back to Germany after their preseason? I suppose they don’t really discuss deals when they are not back at home, just like most clubs really don’t
Exactly, not even a generic 'I have a contract at BVB'.
