We are beginning to look at alternatives one week before the season starts? Really?
That literally had been reported by Fabrizio for about 5 weeks.
And although it couldn't be predicted, lose 5 million Euros in the last week on the exchange rate. Save 2 million, spend 5 million more. That's the way we roll.
And i have no idea why some are still optimistic about the chances of signing Sancho. Dead in the water.
We've already reportedly threatened to walk away from the deal, that was over a month ago.
Personal terms may have been agreed but the fact that after saying agent fees and wages were problematic they briefed these are sorted, definitely means something.
I remember there were speculations why they were trying to paint a bad picture of Sancho talking about his unrealistic wage demands but some progress must have happened that made us change the narrative. Maybe the progress wasn't exactly what they briefed, Romano had been very confident about the personal terms. What made me (us) very excited about that brief is that first time it came from the club. Some could argue that Woodward and co are just trying to look active in the market but I think that would be more risky, causing more outrage from fans if they build up our hopes, then say we walked away after a summer long saga. They would look even more incompetent.
My theory is that Sancho let us say we can't agree about his wages while in fact he was waiting for his bonuses (if that story was true). Obviously, he didn't want Dortmund to know this. It would make sense to me but may be bs, of course.
It’s just posturing and to give BVB’s face that they are hard selling. No ITK but for me i think It’ll happen very soon. Just a negative headline and half the lot are taken in
Did you read the post directly above yours?
It clearly isSome people still think this isn’t happening.
Fair enough if you think he's a dickhead. But the point remains - should he be blacklisted? I don't think so.
So why do you keep popping in this thread and posting multiple times everyday? Surely if you thought it was dead you’d leave it. But you don’t, only reason you, me and everyone not a German football fan open this thread to look is for news that it goes through.
Do we have time to spend like that? Already quite a few weeks in this saga. If this is a nego tactic - I don't see us coming off well in this. We forget that Dortmund is not desperate to sell, whereas we are desperate to buy. So I highly doubt whether the fee will decrease at all. At best they can wipe off 5 million or something.
This is a very 50-50 deal. But i still have a hope that this will happen. He is too talented to lose. United doesn't have chances often to sign a 20y old attacking supertalent.
They take positive news as positive, negative news as positive, and nothing happening as some sort of sign that it's happening.
It's like conspiracy theories: when you know your conclusion in advance, just about everything can be made to support your position.
And to lose him for "not willing to pay €15mn more" is just ridiculous!
Maguire was signed a few days before the first league and he started and played the whole game. Bruno too when he was signed a few days before the January window shut. Sancho will probably be the same. We just like to do things like this
I don’t get the whole bonus angle by him staying till later in the transfer window. Wouldn’t bonuses be setup and align with season milestones? Why give a player a bonus for staying until preseason ends and the season begins but then he signs for another club before the window closes? Surely they would have a clause that states he has to pay it back or forfeits it altogether if he is sold after the fact. Just doesn’t make sense.
It was about certain International appearances.
Confirmation bias, unfortunately. There are similar headlines about Perisic, Alex Sandro, Dybala from trusted journalists in the last couple of years that ultimately ended up with the opposite outcome.
I do still think we'll get him, but it's based on little more than wishful thinking at this point if Sancho isn't prepared to push and agitate for a move.
And I have no idea why some think they have a genuine fecking idea what's going on either way.
Anyone using skybet here?
Twitter saying you can’t bet on Sancho transfering to united anymore, true?

Maybe if we lose our first two games Woodward will panic buy him.
Looks like you can only bet on free agents today so nothing in that one.
You poor souls

You mean like Bayern Munich? Yep.
You don’t seem to realise that posters like you saying it’s “obviously off” and “dead in the water” are saying this on absolutely zero proof of that, in fact the contrary as everything points to us still working on the deal, even our own clubs briefings
Yeah, of course we might not get him but to say it’s off and has been for ages is absolute b@llox.
Those posts are the worst and add absolutely nothing to the thread.
Sancho's recent Instagram post suggests he is in England with his agent
Dont be such a tease, share the goods!Sancho's recent Instagram post suggests he is in England with his agent
Eh? Doesn't really look it to meSancho's recent Instagram post suggests he is in England with his agent
Can anyone work out if that sign is in English?
Those trees look English to me. He's going to start against Palace.
It's saying something about Covid-19 can't make out much more.
