This will be done. I’m confident we just waiting for the Europa to end without any side distractions to make any new signings.
We have a lot of time to get it over the line.

Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

Sancho's reluctance to publically squash the rumours continues to give me hope.
He wants the move for sure.
If he wants the move he should state it.
You're confusing the forum for non-english one.
I hope he doesn't resort to that if I'm honest.
He very clearly wants the move but I think he has too much respect for Dortmund to come out and make things difficult for them and probably rightly so
Yeah, we'll see if we can reach a compromise via the agents. I think we're trying to start off very low and are happy to negotiate a deal that'd be more favourable for them. Dortmund's agents, however, are slow in their responses, and I think that's down to the fact that Dortmund have started their pre-season and have Sancho in their plans.
Even if he does it’s with a gun to his head in some pre arranged presser. He won’t just instagram himself saying the rumours are bollocks, I’m going no where
The best way for Sancho to help the younger players grow would be leaving to give them more playing time, so basically he wants to leave to help them.
I agree with the bolded part, my assumption always was that they would prefer not to sell, but due to an agreement with Sancho, would let him go if their valuation was met. It's just a very tall ask in this market, is all. I'd be very impressed with Woodward and the negotiating team if they managed to get this over the line.
If not, we go for Ousmane and use the remaining money to strengthen the other areas of the squad and we move
I think they’re trying to push Sancho to put a transfer request in. That is how Dortmund save face. “We didn’t want to sell but we don’t keep unhappy players”
Would fit the bill of the public statement that they seemingly want Sancho to release.
I genuinely think they need the money and want to sell

The fact that we agreed on Sancho meant that Dortmund were open to selling him. If they weren't, they wouldn't have allowed us to negotiate with Sancho in the first place. Their problem is that they don't want to lose out on any bit of value that Sancho has given his importance to the team.
and save few millions in loyalty bonus as well.
Is that his best attempt at a Scottish accent?
Yeah exactly
I don't see why not. I mean, if he is fully committed to staying at Dortmund for the foreseeable future, what's preventing him from saying so?
Think about it.
It's a clash here though. Dortmund's business approach requires them to be very proactive, we are a team that's generally notorious for dragging negotiations on. They've now started their preparation for the new season, the longer this goes on, the less they're going to be inclined to selling him, if they have any at all.
It just seems so odd to me for them to keep doubling down on how he's staying, if they were still open to him leaving. As I've said before, it goes against everything they're trying to portray themselves as. Only thing I can think of is as some other posters mentioned, putting the incentive on Sancho to push for the move, so they can justify it as not keeping a player who doesn't want to be there.
Do you want the literal translation?
Wallahy! you couldn't mock a better Pogback transfer. to get > Big Player you need > Big Money + a lot of details. We're not going for the Zahas and Adamas we're talking top of the crop.
I remember Marrotta's blabbing all summer the Pogba's staying, they don't need the money and that they can offer him a much better contract. Matter fact I remember Pirlo coming out arguing that it's stupid for Paul to go back and that he doesn't see it happening. typical last resort for selling clubs to save face in front of their own fans.
Muppetray experience can be usefull in these times.

Now that pre-season has started, they don't want to lose Sancho. They'd have been okay with losing him before pre-season as that'd have given them time to get a replacement or two in. Because we didn't give them what they wanted, however, they are doubling down to put pressure on Sancho and United. I'm guessing they can save up on some loyalty fee that they're paying Sancho at this time if a formal transfer request comes up.

I like the general gist of your post muppet, but couple bits have me confused
The rest of his team have come out saying how happy they are that he's staying he could do the same. Yet... Nothing
He is quite understandably hedging his bets.
This is the type of thing that IF this is a go-er, this will be dead for a couple of weeks and then be revamped then. Mexican stand off with unfortunately the power very much on Dortmund’s side.
Excuse me as English isn't my first language. My inner Muppet couldn't take it any longer. what matters is that you get it bud.
*Mind the spelling mistakes I rush wrote most of it
Until we start hearing from the usual sources that we didn’t actually want him or the agent wanted too much and they’ve been told to jog on, this is still on.
Say he stays at Dortmund for another year, it will give us a chance to see if he can perform at a top level consistently but if he does then Dortmund will probably want more then what there asking for now right?..
I think, this one is lost...for now. I can´t see Dortmund wanting to lose faces and sell him, unless United pays, what they want.
You aren't missing much. Same old crap really.
It will be quiet for a week or two and then boom!
Makes perfect sense then. Thank you.
At the same time, the fact that Robben stands out in a sea of transfers as the obvious example of an injury prone player that went on to have a strong late career also hints at something. These examples are rare as hens teeth.
