I don't really think it looks like its miles away at all? The Sancho deal shouldn't be used as some reference point for all transfers. They're all different.
So, Howard has also joined the party then.
Well then
Howard still a bit slow, but he has clearly worked on his pace recently.
Deal is obviously very close. Only form of payment left to negotiate.
Meaning pay by whom? Man utd obviously got the money so that's not an issue.
Only need to sort out when is the payment and what type of payment.

100% done dealio
Who needs transfer rumours when you can just keep an eye on the social media accounts of friends and family?
Im using it as a reference point to show that only because we have agreed personal terms, it may not necessarily mean the deal is nearly done. These things take time.
Obviously if we can wrap it up this week then great but it wouldnt surprise me if we didn't.
Nurse: Gaston and Annie Varane have given birth to a healthy baby boy, they've named him Raphael.£3M for the 18 year old from Lens.
This is getting done much faster than anyone expected.
You should all lay off Nurse. Not his fault the lad receiving his telefax at the library was a bit slow to get it up onto his socials.
Yeah, feels like announcements are just around the corner at this rate. Impressive if so.
He's just received the telegram from Warsaw, Germany has just invaded Poland. Britain and France expected to declare war on Germany
Luckhurst going all in
Fake. Check the replies.
have to respect Nurse for just rolling with the "then" joke 
That’s not what I remember though, our defense as a unit has been a joke at times, committing Sunday league football error from time to time, and people here did wonder maybe we should keep Smalling instead. But to be fair Maguire becomes really solid during 2nd half of this season, and has been excellent in Euro, so no complain there. But he didn’t make an instant level up for us once he joined, he went through some rough patch with his slow body turn and lack of pace got exposed badly at times midway through his first season when we were playing high defensive line, but he was still decent overall and was our best CB, so he was surely easily above average to me, although his price tag hasn’t been justified, he was still a decent CB in the league. Acrually I’d say AWB was our instant level up in his first year instead, but his attacking contribution has been poor later on.

Both VVD & Dias came in to totally different teams compared to Maguire.
VVD & Dias joined teams who were either very established and used to winning leagues, or had the final jigsaws missing, such as VVD & Alison.
Maguire was one of the first parts to Ole's reconstruction. Yes the money paid for Maguire was a lot but we were in a desperate situation.
Unfortunately for Maguire, he will always get compared to VVD and the differing impacts made but the context of where their individual teams were at the time of their arrivals will never be taken into account. I always thought our own fans would.
What I like most about this transfer is how keen the player is for the move. His motivation will be sky high come the start of the season.
He also briefly worked at United in the transfer department during the summer of 2015.
Just shows how bad Woodward was with transfer deals that Murtough got Sancho and Varane in his first attempt. Shambles.
I’m working in a complete phone signal black hole today apart from when sat in the van at break. If this doesn’t get confirmed in the next hour I’ll need to find an excuse to grab something from the van every ten minutes.
Woodward trying Moyesque Spanish to get deals done
Wonder if this will be the case with transfers completed later in the window? Got to say, I thought we'd have seen a lot more at this stage from our top 4 competitors.
Improves us massively, but it's got to be said - for the same money we could have had Ben White.
Arsenal really did beat us to that one.

Working deals on weekends, too.
I sense sarcasm?
Think this will be officially announced tomorrow.
