Why are we all certain that this is a club briefing? Isn’t it more likely that one journalist wrote an article and everyone followed as there is nothing going on the trf front. More than happy to be corrected though.
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

Damn right I didI'm pretty sure that you yelled "Choo choo!" while typing that post.
thing is, they've completely backed themselves into a corner. They'll already look really bad if they sell him after saying that'll definitely stay ... if they drop the price as well, media and fans will tear them a new one.
think it'll be the full €120m spread out over two or three years.
I think this might be under appreciated by most but I thought I'd let you know it made me chuckle. Ironically today we actually get some news.
POGON!!!
Wait..
Wait..
It’s on the BBC as well and they don’t ride on anyone else’s tails
I know what are the chances!
When all outlets start reporting the same story at around the same time that means the PR team have briefed the media.
Oh. If that’s the case then sanchON like donkey kong!!!
They’ll just paint Sancho as the devil and say they had no choice to sell. And then brag about getting £90m for a 20yr old in a COVID market when the player wanted to leave and go back home.
He says things about nothing. Also, spending 180+m on 3 players last season, 40m on bench player, and 120m on one player are not a "quick fix"?
I don't get all the euphoria here, it's not like anything has changed. F.Romano had those "news" weeks ago.
Dortmund are still adamant that it's €120m or nothing and we don't seem to be willing/able to pay all that in one go this summer.
This actually somehow seems like a desperation attempt, briefing the press in order to show the fans that they're at least trying hard. I sure hope I'm wrong though.

No the brief that wages were an issue (when reported a couple weeks ago) was what bought them time. Now they probably reckon they can agree a fee at some point, so they have briefed wages aren't a problem.
In reality it's likely the case that as Romano said, wages were never a problem. That's why foreign journalists are better in this regard - they don't get played by the clubs as easily.
He's been a target for Ole since March of last year when he took over so wouldn't exactly call it quick
We've also had improved play there from Greenwood but Sancho would provide a more consistent 'fix' there
Oh he most certainly does
Absolutely certain they aren't asking for it in one go just want it in guaranteed instalments rather than bonuses (addons)
Over 900 pages and now you ask this?
You're focusing too much on the prices of the players rather than their profiles. Young great players who can only get better.He says things about nothing. Also, spending 180+m on 3 players last season, 40m on bench player, and 120m on one player are not a "quick fix"?
When even the muppet slayer Howard Nurse is reporting it, you know it’s a club brief...
Why on earth would the club do that and only increase the fan expectation and ultimately the pressure on the club
There’s a lot of irony in this post. What point are you making?He says things about nothing. Also, spending 180+m on 3 players last season, 40m on bench player, and 120m on one player are not a "quick fix"?
He’s clearly referencing our new recruitment plan to secure young hungry players who want to play for our club, rather than short term fixes like we used to go for.He says things about nothing. Also, spending 180+m on 3 players last season, 40m on bench player, and 120m on one player are not a "quick fix"?
Our effort has finally been rewarded.
Happy Sancho night ?
Like me when I sat on the toilet for 50 minutes last night
He's making an ironic comment. It sounds nice but it doesn't really tell anything.
And what was your point about the fees?
A quick fix would be getting someone like Perisic. He is old and maybe good for 2 more years. Then we gotta rebuild again. He meant getting good, young players and building for the future even if it means not fighting for the title next season.He says things about nothing. Also, spending 180+m on 3 players last season, 40m on bench player, and 120m on one player are not a "quick fix"?
I hope he doesn't crumble with that price tag. Its too much money, he will need thick skin because the anti United media will be scrutinizing him every day.
Still dead ?
cock out....?
That just sounds like a convenient way to flip the reality of what’s been tweeted by them all thus far in order to (again) protect the fecker.
The club even supposedly gave a certain journo a verbal slap recently for getting ahead of himself, no prizes for guessing who.
I don’t blindly believe briefings but this one is pretty clear cut, even the likes of the BBC.
I think the phasing of payments is what makes or breaks this deal. We simply cant risk/afford too much up front, given the upcoming uncertainty.
Because the club has briefed progress on the deal, meaning that the deal is likely to happen.
If it doesn't happen there will be a great fan backlash. Of course the club would rather want this to die out quietly to avoid that if they weren't sure of making a deal.
This notion of "who want to play for our club" is just bogus, imho. Almost everyone wants to play for the club, if you pay him enough. And he's been buying mature players like Maguire and Bruno. He's also reportedly chasing Joshua King.
Like I said, Ole's just saying nice things about nothing. Nothing wrong with that though.
Yeah he got banned a few days ago.
He’s English though so they will be FAR FAR more lenient on him than they were on Pogba as an example.
Damn - went out for a run and come back to about 30+ new pages and a chime in from every reputable news source going. Looks like it's happening people.
Ok take that to the Ole Out thread then fella.
There’s a clear difference between a player buying into the club and wanting to be here compared to some mercenary just here for the biggest pay check.
Also I’d urge you to look at the shambles of a squad Mourinho left us with and how we shape up with this lad in the starting 11. Night and day.
