It's just so annoying that it always seems to go this way: Bruno took forever, Maguire, awb and now Sancho while other teams just make their move and finalize the deal. It's less than 3 weeks until the next season begins
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

You do realise sensible posts like this isn't allowed in here?!
Maybe the thread should be locked until there's actual movement, it's annoying coming in here and seeing nothing but whinging about how we've not signed him yet and waah waaah all other clubs are buying players.
Loving all these people debating about the structure of a transfer deal, from third-hand information (which is probably just made up) without any knowledge of the situation whatsoever.
You don't know what's going on. Stop being gowls.
HTH.

OMG JUST PAY UP THE EXTRA 25.2 MILLION ED, YOU ABSOLUTE IDIOT.
EVERYONE KNOWS THEY WONT ACCEPT A PENNY LESS THAN 141.8 MILLION.THIS WAS CLEAR FROM THE INDYKAILA TWEET IN JULY.
FFS JUST GET IT DONE. GETTING SICK OF THIS CLUB MIGHT GO SUPPORT CHELSEA, AT LEAST THEY KNOW HOW TO RUN A CLUB.

LVG wasn`t fully backed in his 2nd window though he wanted a CB he didn`t get one and our net spend was circa 50m. He was only really backed in his first after we finished 7th with 6 signings and a net spend of over 100m
Jose in his 3rd window wanted a CB, RB, LB, CM and RW he only got Dalot, Fred and a 40yr old Grant when we were supposed to close the gap on City plus a net spend of circa 50m too compare that to his first window which to date is our best window post Fergie era and his 2nd one where he also got Alexis plus a high net spend over 100m
Ole after getting us 6th spent 150m(low net spend mind you but we still spent heavily) and got Bruno in January when top 4 looked out of reach which evens out our low net spend in the summer now after getting 3rd look at how quiet our window is. By the looks of it one signing at best or no signing in a window we should be closing the gap on City/LFC and Chelsea leaving us for dust. Are you not seeing a worrying trend?
Do you agree that we need more than just Sancho and it wouldnt be good if this transfer would drag too long?

And the award for most measured reaction to the saga goes to...
United spent in the last 6-7 years as much as a huge club like United should be spending. It was badly spent however and years of penny pinching under Fergie forced the Glazers hand.
No need to shout.
Like the financial experts say, net spend over a single season is rubbish. The way transfers are done and amortised, you can't calculate the way you did.
LVG got in about 5 players in his second season...he got plenty of players in.
I'm just so mad. Does Ed not even read Indykaila? What about the Daily Star? Has he never seen /r/muppetiers? The information is all there, he just needs to pay up
We need Sancho and more.
But would I trade this in for the future of the club and its employees? Then no.
What do you mean?
If we get Sancho and more future of the club will be in jeopardy?
If Havertz goes for £90 million then the club’s position on reducing Sancho’s fee is completely destroyed. It really is either pay up or go elsewhere.
Mate you are correct and of course it isn't fair but at the same time the debt on the club is the Glazers too but if they where ever to sell we would be left with it. They wouldn't have to pay it.
And that is where the whole system is so flawed. The same scenario nearly crippled the dippers and the courts got them out of it. Just a shite situation orchestrated by scummy people.
Well with 0 income from fans and uncertain futures for many businesses, who sponsor us, how can United guarantee the money coming and justify the spend for Sancho?
REAPERSOUL WAS A DIFFICULT PERSONALITY
I guess we just need to watch every other club spend the money, except for us.
Cannot believe we’ve let it get to this. Seriously sick to death of this club.

Look, all I am saying is that we're currently in some dark times. War, famine, pestilence, disease....all the signs are there.
If Ed wants to bring about the end of the world as we know it, then sure, don't fork out the 146.4 million that is clearly required to make the transfer happen.

You know we paid a big chunk of wages off don't you?
Plus we swapped Mhky for him, whom we'd paid a decent fee for.
Plus we have to pay someone else to fill Sanchez's place in the squad for two years.
So it's not like it's some sort of 40m profit.
Well Chelsea paying 80 up front and 20 in add ons means we will just have to put up or shut up cause Sancho is nearly twice the player ATM.

Another recruit to come me in my completely reasonable reaction to this saga!!
Only six weeks left til the end of the transfer window. Only a huge recession and unprecedented disease killing off millions. Do what's right, Ed come on. SIGN. MORE. PLAYERS.
Or else me and GE will be off to support Chelsea, the last bastion of sensible and virtuous football in this day and age.
Perhaps fans on here don't appreciate the global economic impact surrounding every business. United's owners and executives would be completely irresponsible to pay or commit to pay over £100m on any player in this environment, hoever 'special' some fans think they may be. Quite rightly a pared-back budget of around £50-60m is available. Chelsea are an exception as they have cash reserves available from two previous transfer periods unspent. No other club , unless they want to run the real risk of bankrupcy will be spending more than this sort of figure. And as no-one will be spending much, the opportunities for sales is diminished as everyone who wants to buy will want to sell first.
As soon as Dortmund made it clear they ( and the player) were happy to see out another year to maximise sale value, this deal was dead. United then had to move on to evaluate options, not for one player, but for maybe two or three more reasonable purchases. This requires time. For instance purchasing Grealish would most certainly use up all of the budget, would this be sensible? It might have been for Sancho, but not necessarily for Grealish. My guess for what its worth, is that discussions are taking place about Brooks and one other attacking player. If the budget can stretch to those two, then they may well happen.
Under these circumstances, withe Smalling returning after a good year at Roma, I do not expect any defensive purchases.

I'd rather spend the money on the correct players & not just for the sake of signing players. We have to learn from the past.
Wouldn't the solution in this case be just not coming into the thread? Weird to request a thread lock when you could avoid the thread or request a thread ban
Then I would miss the actual news, so it's not weird.
That I agree with. At the moment though nothing is happening. I hope we're working on some deals but I wouldnt be surprised if we didnt done one transfer. Let alone few.
Thank feck mourinho wasn't backed. We'd be in a much worse state right now if he was.
Not sure what’s more tedious - the posters losing it thinking the end is upon us and we’ll sign nobody a week after our season finished or the at-home accountants trying to convince everyone we’re broke, the Glazers aren’t a disgusting leech on the club and everything is dandy.
There won't be any actual news because Ed Woodward is a tyrant and a cheat.
Only six weeks left in this transfer window. It's clear Man Utd are never, ever signing a player again.
Ever.
The fallout both from the fans but more importantly the media will be unlike anything we've seen in recent years if we don’t add and don’t perform.
If we'd wanted to sign Brooks, surely we'd have done it already?
Guess we're trying to somehow work out how we can pay for Sancho, speaking to banks about loan facilities etc.

Definitely the latter. The former are people who are understandably worried about a recurring pattern of lack of investment when the goal of top 4 has been met and a failure to back the manager properly during a rebuild. The at-home accountants are incredibly deluded and naive.
Agreed, it's pretty clear that Ed Woodward is a sleeper agent placed within Man Utd by either the owners of Liverpool, or else Lucifer himself. If you haven't come to that conclusion yourself at this point, I dont have any hope for you.
Surely the tweet thread will be updated. Any news here have come via tweets.
There's no need for a talk like that. Lets be more sensible. If some transfers will happen in 3 weeks than fair do. But I doubt it. Maybe it's that kind of day and tomorrow I'll think we'll get 4 quality transfers in no time.
Lots can happen and I'm usually pretty patient. However as things stand the reports suggest that we haven't met Dortmund's price and they've spent two weeks celebrating him staying.

Honestly mate, the signs are there. War, famine, disease....honestly think Ed might have been placed there to bring about the end of the world.
We'll see.
