He does very well against Bayern
Personally I’d be amazed if we don’t get this one done.
I think the importance of the attitude and type of person is underestimated in a transfer like this. Ole clearly cares a hell of a lot about the attitude of the players he’s looking to bring in. You only have to look at the players shipped out to see that.
Sanchez is obviously a clown and lukaku it seems got too big for his boots.
Sancho is not only a very gifted footballer, but you can see the kind of rapport he already has with rashford and could likely build with greenwood and martial.
for me, signing sancho would be a huge deal and goes a long way to building the kind of team that ole is looking for. I think we will get this done!

You wouldn't believe this could be true until you've seen the video of Ed paying 70 quid for a chocolate bar. It's in this thread somewhere.
This. Also we aren't linked to anyone else anymore bar Regullion and a window of VDB and himself would be so underwhelming and could easily lead to us stagnating that it is hard to believe the club could be that naïve again.
We have to stay toe to toe with Chelsea at the very least and well we are going to need some good signings to do that.
Why waste all summer in this transfer if it wasn't going to get done?
I still think this one is done (touch wood) and it's being held up by ultimately bullshit/trivial reasons. Utd have the money that Dortmund want. It's just that Utd don't want to give all of it this year (even though they could) so they can spend it on other targets this summer
Sancho would be top priority, then a centre-back would be 2nd in my opinion. After that it's just enhancements for this season. Thiago Alcantara and Sergio Regulion would be nice additions (particularly the former) but they're not the end of the world if we don't get them.

SanchOFF.
Happy Sancho eve everybody.
When was the last time Dortmund as a team did good against Bayern?
Last time I was here I was at page 700-something, has there been any concrete news for the past 100 pages?
Does 175 pages of “today is sancho day” and some handbags being thrown around because some people can’t take the ‘pressure’ anymore count as concrete news? Then yes.
Well I expect that if someone is worth 100m he should make a difference.
Club might not deny Sancho interest because it's a player we like just not at that price. It's also wise to keep our options open for the future.
Yeah, I’m sure! (that guy’s full o’ the brown stuff).Well, as certain as someone who hasn't the faintest idea what's going on can be, which is still more than Mark Goldbridge
Dude.
What will be will be. And yet it’s the not knowing that kills you.
Apparently he played well against them in a 3-2 win in 2018.

I'm just trying to establish if he is worth all the money we are talking about. I haven't forgotten Sanchez
Anyone watched this who can give a summary? Didn’t fancy watching 50 mins worth.
So at this point the negotiations seem to have gone like
Ed: So how much is He, Mick
Zorc: You know how much, Ed.
Ed: And that includes the amp?
Zorc: No. That does not include the amp.
Ed: Shit, Mick. I thought it included the amp.
Zorc: It doesn't include, the agent fees or the amp. It's not supposed to include me getting the hump with your questions. You want him, you buy him.
Ed: What else do I get?
Zorc: A gold-plated Rolls Royce, if you pay for it.
Ed: Don't know, Mick. Seems expensive.
Zorc: Seems...this seems to be a waste of my time. What school of finance did you study Ed, It's a deal, it's a steal, It's the sale of the f@#king century. In fact, I'll keep him.
So Dortmund are not selling cheap as the think we've got Liberia’s deficit in our sky rocket, they want feel the fibre of our Fabric

Well, that's your expectation. It may or may not become true.
Point is Dortmund as a team has been underwhelming against Bayern. So not really a scale to measure his talent.
I didn’t actually watch it, but didn’t he have a great performance against Barcelona?
Sancho is a good player, no doubt. But a 120m player? Definitely not. I actually expected Man Utd to prioritise LB and CF. LB because neither Shaw nor Williams are up for the job, and CF because United still haven't replaced Lukaku with a proper CF. After that it's another solid CB (Upamecano?). Sancho is definitely not a priority and not worth the asking price and if United pay 120m or anything close to that it will be the worst bum job in the business in many years. There must be a reason United are the only club in for him at that price, even the desperate Barca and his out-of-sorts parent club Man City are not interested.

Because no team has this money currently except City/PSG. Supposedly he doesn’t want to go back to City and Pep ruled it out.
Madrid wanted VDB but won’t spend 39 million, they were also interested in Havertz who Bayern also wanted but couldn’t afford this year either.
If he doesn’t come here this summer, next summer there will be a lot more interest.
This is his match history from last season
https://www.whoscored.com/Players/346300/Fixtures/Jadon-Sancho
He was man of the match in the German super up vs Bayern, scored a very nice goal away at Barca in a 3-1 defeat. He was good in the second game against Inter and in the 3-3 with Leipzig.
He hasn’t turned up for England yet though.
Tumble weed ...I think VDB might be all she said.
praying I’m wrong but there’s just not enough smoke on this one, silence is deafening

For all those saying Sancho is not a priority. Neither Ronaldo nor Rooney Were priority signings. Sometimes you just have to strike when the iron is hot.
Personally I think he is a priority signing. How many years has it been since we had a top class winger on the right ffs?

If we don’t sign Sancho you need to come out of retirement mate.
Great post, i don't want to derail the thread but i actually don't think lukaku had a bad personality. I just think he was one of those who would air his opinion of other players in public. Some managers (mourinho) would be ok with this. I think ole is looking for people who can se, well Jones is really bad but its not my problem and won't air it in public. That will create a better atmosphere in the squad as even if someone sucks, its not their problem. Its the managers and the leaderships issue. I like that approach.
What about free-spending Chelsea? They were never interested either.
Guys 20 and I read about how he hasn't turned up for England yet. Madness.
We do need more competition up front but someone who is comfortable on the right is a glaring, gaping hole in the squad. Still, a new CF would be welcome, of course but he’d have to be good and likely expensive.
I wouldn’t be against another LB but we have looked shakier through the middle so CB is more pressing, if we can get the right one, I think.
I’m not sure I agree that Sancho is not worth £120m but either way he is one of the best in his position and, assuming we need a RW, I am dead against spending a single penny on any player who can’t consistently compete for a place in the team (I mean a Utd team that is serious about challenging the top two).
As an aside, even if we do get Sancho, I’d still be keen to get Grealish. We don’t need him but I think he’d be great for us.
Im just waiting for the phone call mate. I’m not greedy, £100k a week would be enough for me
We are fine in CF position. Martial scored 23 last season despite missing a couple of months and not being on penalties. He is also arguably our best player so I do not see us spending big there, especially with our best academy product in 3 decades being a natural CF.
Then we are fecked. Simple as.
I can compile the best moments of any player, including MOTM performances, that's not difficult at all. Sancho is getting way too much attention, accolades, higher valuation and even popularity than his real level deserves. He is not a must-have for United, definitely not at that price. There are other more critical priorities for the team.
My take on this is that i've lost all faith in us signing the fecker, no way are we getting it done this late in the window.
Is this the most lifeless transfer thread ever? It's basically a corpse that's being dragged along like dead weight something akin to a cheap knock-off of Weekend at Bernie's.
Yeah but there was very little noise about us getting VDB until, out of the blue, it was basically done. I think we’ll get a couple more but Sancho is apparently so expensive that no one should be surprised if we can’t get it done. Maybe he’s worth it but it’s such a huge fecking slice, I can understand the hesitation.
Can't be arsed watching all that, give us the footnotes.
Except Bernie was dead.
