I'm going anti-muppet for a moment.
Sanchoff till next season, then he signs for Chelsea who in the meantime have acquired Havertz and are one of the best teams in the league.
United sign nobody (apart from some prospects) and fail to get 4th place next year.
Pogba again says it's time to find a new challenge. He is sold but we do not replace.
United 2022 and beyond become one of the three teams that regularly fight for fourth along with Leceister, Wolves, and Arsenal.
Not too far fetched i don't think.

Greenwood wins Ballon D'Or
You're a tough muppet to crack. I'll give you that!Greenwood wins Ballon D'Or
Yep. That's enough of the Cafe for one day.
Could happen but if the board has learnt anything these past few years they cannot let that happen.

Hey i'm just trying to paint a bad but reasonable picture of what could happen if we fail to sign Sancho. I've been on the caf for all of 10 minutes today.
You should've just gone a step further and just said all our players will be lined up and shot.
No-one is signing Pogba.
The smart money is he signs another insane wage deal extension.
Opposite version of Ty from AFTV right here ... Anti-Ty?

Still, an extra £10m goes a long way. We reportedly wanted the first payment to be 70m Euros. Dortmund supposedly want it to be 80-90m Euros. £10m could be enough to make up that difference if they do buy Zaha to replace Sancho.
I am sure we have such a limit on the first Sancho payment as we have a couple of other positions we are strengthening and need to haggle to get the minimum three players signed. While Dortmund probably want to generate enough money from that first payment alone to buy Zaha (or another Sancho replacement) and an extra player themselves.
It's unlikely they'll catch Bayern but they'll need to bring in more than one player if they sell Jadon to us in order to have a good chance at staying ahead of the rest.
Also, slightly unrelated. But while I never usually read into the whole "this player went for that much so this player is worth this much" debate, I would find it a little silly if Nathan Ake goes to Man City for £40m but Zaha, Grealish etc go for similar. I think Palace will hold out for more personally, he's their best player. Same with Villa.

I don't want Jason...
Looks like that's all we can afford
Not even one Argonaut?Looks like that's all we can afford
If he runs down his contract, what makes you think he'll sign for us? Especially if we don't really make any progress between now and then as a club. He'll have plenty of clubs battling it out for his signature, whereas there's no guarantee we'll even be able to offer him Champions league football by then. We don't sign him this window and we've lost our chance indefinitely imo.
sorry, auto correctIt would be interesting to see if he did run down his contract. Right now the majority of Dortmund fans seem content with how the board have managed it, but I wonder if they would still feel that way in that situation.
Who's this Jason kid? Do we have a highlights reel?
We're going to have to kidnap him I'm afraid.
Reports are he's willing to push for the move if we put in a somewhat acceptable offer. We haven't done so. We are being linked to other players. We clearly just can't afford him this summer. Fine. If we are to sign Costa as an alternative though, that would be fecking laughable. This isn't 2016.
Are you seriously this late to the party?Well a few things here, us looking at back-ups is only normal. Costa wasn't a player we instigated an interest in, it's more his agent have reached out to us. And we probably are working on an offer but there are likely a range of moving parts that no one in this caf would know about, and that will take time.
I can't think of a single 100m transfer that did not take several weeks to conclude. Add to that the fact that Dortmund insist on 3rd party liaisons, it's no wonder this is taking an age.
Wait for it..
No white text tho??
Too many are assuming that silence means nothings happening. That's how negotiations should be processed, when there's noise from the media it usually points to briefs which signifies issues in communication that elevates into public knowledge. No news is good news for a transfer this size.
HahaYou're a tough muppet to crack. I'll give you that!
Screams Toni Kroos with Van Gaal. United just left him hanging with no progress then he just ended up moving to Madrid.
Think even Pogba mentioned this, United dragged the transfer and he thought United weren't even in for him for a while.
But why would you read into what's posted on a forum to this extent ? If you want to grasp fans perspective go to Manchester and have a debate with the locals about the topics that are raised in these discussions. Many use the internet to insult and demean people and clubs but I think you should take it all with a pinch of salt. A few fans online changing your perspective about a club is bewildering.
He's a Bundesliga follower, they're immensely sensitive.
Silence could be good actually. Could mean actual negotiations are happening.
Ed, is that you?
You’re supposed to give us a bunch of lies and excuses, rather than tell us your actual plan
Utd should offer Phil Jones as part of the deal.
Of course, they wouldn't be daft enough to offer his playing services. Instead, he'll be used as gargoyle atop of the stadium to keep evil sprits away.

Kroos would have most likely been our best signing post Ferguson.
Hopefully Woodward learnt from that and silence in this case is something positive. If not, he can feck off and work with signing his obscure sponsorship deals.
That's what i thought too....then Sanchez....
