Trying to think, have we ever made a summer signing when our season is yet to be completed? I can’t think of one but I might be wrong. Zaha maybe?

Don't be disappointed, but Sancho will stay in Dortmund for at least one more season. I have no doubt about it.Patience. Clearly the negotiations are still on-going, the problem when you support the biggest 'anything' in the world, things work in a very different way than others.

According to this United are skint, that s why we cannot afford Sancho

If the lack of this transfer resurfaces this sentiment I am all for it. People need to remind themselves that the club will not be returning to past glories under the Glazer mafia.
Agree. By stalling I guess I really meant not responding to the noise coming from Dortmund and just keeping quiet and let the wait gnaw at Dortmund.I agree with almost everything you said apart from the stalling part. We've got a short time window when we can buy players thus our negotiation stance weaken the more we wake.
Instead we should go on the offensive by bidding for alternatives. I am not referring to short term fixes here. That would give Dortmund the peace of mind that we'll come knocking at their door in 12 months time. I am referring to players who can sort the RW issue once and for all like for example Chiesa. Fiorentina are pretty much in Dortmund's position at the moment. They need the money, they have a great asset on their hands, they need good money for him but everyone is stalling. If we bid 55m on him then rest assured that Fiorentina would parade that to the 4 corners of the world as they would be hoping that it would kickstart an auction. That would give Dortmund headaches as a potential big buyer might soon vanish for good. With Sancho burning bridges with Shitty, Chelsea having sorted the RW position, Real not being the big buyers they used to be and Liverpool not needing him that would hurt Dortmund badly.
The choice will then be between keeping Sancho and risk financial ruin or sell him on a decent fee even though not the 120m they want.
Pretty sure also Hargreaves and Nistelrooy are on that list. We used to actually be quite proactiveTrying to think, have we ever made a summer signing when our season is yet to be completed? I can’t think of one but I might be wrong. Zaha maybe?
'Today on the program: Passing exercises in a confined space. Again without Sancho, Delaney also fails. Haaland is back.'
2 days in a row is very suspicious, especially without an injury
Today is Sancho day.
The only thing that keeps me confident iss how fecked our summer will be if we fail. We clearly got no legitimate backups that are for to lace his boots and filling to get him would very likely ensure we fall behind Chelsea next season since it doesn't look like we are going to be up to much this summer

Did he pick that up yesterday? Because they were quick to point out he wasn't injured yesterday.
Where have you actually heard we`ll do this?The only hope is that we then prioritise our other positions that could do with improvements.
No point signing a cheap mans Sancho just for the numbers. Imo.
twitter translation is "lightly hit"
Yeah. So it seems from all the replies Depay is the only one we signed before the end of the season since Woodward took over?Pretty sure also Hargreaves and Nistelrooy are on that list. We used to actually be quite proactive
HERE WE GO
This is the type of thing Spurs did after selling Bale and Liverpool after selling Suarez and it backfired for them massively. Much rather focus on getting 2/3 buys per window if they are quality players that improve the starting 11 like Maguire/AWB have than multiple average bench warmers. Bar Grealish who is an exception cause he`s a top player and its clear how much Bruno needs a good back up, the other positions are best improved by signing quality starters to relegate current starters to the bench not adding more Daniel James esque players who won`t elevate us to the next level. Coutinho won`t agree to be a back up, would want high wages and his ties to The Scousers makes him a no goI’m going to speculate a little bit now and present my other options to think about.
Latest reports indicates that Pereira, Smalling and Rojo is on their way out. Regarding Lingard it’s conflicting rumors but I assume in the end he will stay. Family reasons and so.
If I was Ed Woodward I would go public by saying something like this “English talent Jadon Sancho is no longer an option for Man United, from what we can understand he’s too expensive for us in this financial climate. Maybe we come back in another transfer window but right now we have moved on” .
These few words will change the momentum and put the pressure in Dortmund’s corner. They will off course say that they are happy to keep him but at the same time “status que“ will not change their financial situation. In Watzke’s own words they can’t buy new players without fresh incomes, and right now all clubs losing revenues because of COVID. Time will now work in our (United’s) favor. Sooner or later Dortmund needs a money injection, either using their credit or sell on of their assets.
My next step would be to look at loan options. There are plenty of quality players out there. If Coutinho can score against Barca he‘s good enough to be a back up to Bruno and Rashford. Probably expensive with high wages but you get proven quality. Maybe this option is better then spending absurd money on Sancho and Grealish?
I would also do the ground work to buy Upamecano next season. That’s a must.
What we need is more quality behind out starting eleven. Matic needs a back up. Shaw needs competition.
Maybe I’m crazy or out of the loop but I should seriously look at Coutinho. Maybe even Thiago Silva as a short stop gap. Take on or two of these on loan. Buy a young quality back up to Matic and a competition to Shaw. Next season we can explore the possibility of buying Sancho if Dortmund doesn’t lower their demands.
I think time will work in our favor. Take it easy, the football landscape will change sooner rather then later as long as COVID is with us.
SanchOn!!!! Or he's being held hostage and beaten until he records a video for Watzke
I remember Olly's master video during Pogba's saga.No Today is Groundhog day
