Yes and it’d be in excess of £30 million in my opinion. But I’d say he’ll either extend with the chavs or go to Germany.

Away and lay down for a while, mate.
No way are we signing both Sancho & CHO. No way both are getting enough game time. And if we do sign them both, Greenwood will struggle for minutes. If CHO is moving for playing time, don't think he would get many minutes being back up to Martial or potential 100 million buy Sancho
Lay down for a while? Its because of prawn sandwich eaters who sit on there arses the club gets away with some of the shocking transfer windows and squad management.
Worrying that Skriniar is being linked to City,should be in for this guy if Napoli price us out for Koulibaly
Wonder who people would prefer out of Hudson-Odoi & Sancho?
and £50m goes towards new players and the rest into the Glazers' pockets.
Not free until 2020. And, if joined on a free would be compensation because of his age.
Is Hudson-Odoi available on a free this summer then? If so, we should just get him and have the options of SanCHO for the RW next season.
Does anyone know how reliable Rob Draper is?
No, his contract runs out in summer 2020.
His contract runs out summer 2020 and even then, you could not sign him without paying Chelsea something. A tribunal would set a figure you'd have to pay. No idea what that would be for a full England international.
It would still only be a fraction of any fee we would negotiate with Chelsea.
Oh for sure. I reckon something like £10 to £15 mil.
Liverpool and Chelsea were going to go to a tribunal for Dom Solanke. Liverpool wanted to pay £3M, Chelsea wanted £10m but the clubs reached an undisclosed agreement somewhere in the middle without actually having to go to the tribunal.
I just have no faith in us when it comes to getting things done in the transfer market. I don't get excited by links to top players, I don't have faith in us selling deadwood that has needed to go for so long now, it's been established that under Woodward we're just not efficient.
Why? Play them either Side with Martial and Rashford through the middle. Maybe adapt it v bigger sides but I'm tired of seeing us play one up top v Burnely at home so we can out number their impotent midfield. 90 percent of our games are v this same scenario over a season and there's no need for it.
Plenty of game time for everybody. Fans tend to worry about questions like this as if everybody is one hundred percent fit and on form every week. Look at Rashford over the last 3 weeks, you think he wold have caused that much of a selection headache during that period if we had Sancho off the bench?
I miss the days where that lot wouldn't cost more than 50m.
It's hard to get excited about a young player developing when he costs a bloody fortune, it takes a bit of romanticism out of it.
I see. Yeh I know we'd have to pay you something still.
Keep hearing we are in for Lozano, why? It makes no sense. Isn't he a left sided winger. Last thing united need to do, is the same thing they've always done. Buy a player who isn't best at the position he's been chosen for.
Wouldn't make any sense for any other club but it makes a perfect sense for us. We just love signing players we don't need and then trying them in random positions.
A few seasons ago, we could have bought the whole squad for this price.
And as stated before: paying that much for young player takes away the "let's hope he transform into a good player". Instead it's a "he has to be a world beater within 2 seasons or he is a failure". High pressure for the player and high expectation from the fans. Not a good way to develope a youngster IMO
If I'm not mistaken, he can play on the left and the right wing.
From WhoScored.com :
Position Apps Goals Assists Rating
FWR (Forward Right) 15 8 6 7.92
FWL (Forward Left) 11 7 1 7.72
AMR (Attacking Midfielder Right) 4 2 0 6.86
AML (Attacking Midfielder Left) 3 1 1 7.57
FW (Forward Centre) 1 0 0 6.72
So he has played 19 games as a Right sided attacker as opposed to 14 from the left, so I guess he is not a left sided winger
He has 19 goals and 8 assists this season and is 23
As of now our attack is stacked, but if we don't renew Mata's contract and sell Sanchez, we just have Martial, Rash, Lingz and Lukaku as attackers with two of them being strikers. I personally don't expect Chong or Greenwood to be first team regulars by next season which means we need depth. Lozano could be our backup plan if we don't manage to buy Sancho. Even if he's not, I think buying him for 30-40 million pounds wouldn't be bad business. He will be OK with sitting on the bench and has shown pretty good quality with great output. Every team needs back up players and 30 mill seems to be the going rate for good players now.
Just look at Manchester City's attack - Aguero, Sane, Sterling, Mahrez, Silva, Bernardo, Jesus. If we want to compete with that, we are gonna need more than 4 attackers

These stories of one club raiding another club for more than one player at one given time are about as hopeful as a player exchange between two clubs happening. It feels like they played FM and assumed that’s what happening in reality.
Both of them are extremely rare instances as far as I’m aware. I think Sportings board would get lynched by their fans if they let three of their best players all go at the same time to a single club.

Any other club in the world and that sum would have been 150m. But because it’s Manchester United, yeah they will splash 250m for an unproven kid, another young CB and a random chap who is havin the season of his career.
Really? DDG I can understand but Jones should thank his stars on how incompetent our board is and be extremely grateful to still be here. Rashford, he is all potential at the moment. No club of our stature is going to start him upfront regularly and pay him the wages he will likely get in his new contract.
It is not really in his best interest to itch for a move.
Two of them play for Benfica. But I agree that it is unlikely that we sign more than one player in one summer from such a big club.
I was joking with regards to Jones.
If he wants to leave what else can we do?
£250m would get Sancho, De Ligt and Koulibaby! In fact give you a decent amount of change to get a full back in too.
Why do people still get riled up about the Mirror?
I'm just pointing out that some people assume that if we got £150m for him, we would have the same amount to spend on new players.
One guy said give me £150m and I'll drive him myself.
I see a lot of these stupid posts floating about in the lead up to, and during transfer windows. If the teenage twitter fans stop frothing at the mouth for a second, they’ll realise that we have been consistently big spenders over the last few seasons. Closing several big transfers, and have cycled huge amounts of players out of the squad.
The issue is not our ability to sign or sell players. Our problem is that we’ve had no coherent strategic intent in our recruitment and management processes. We’ve hired successive coaches whose tactical preferences were antithetical to their predecessors, necessitating in the the cycling of old players, and purchase of new. This creates a constant cycle of “deadwood”.
The solution isn’t to put the finger at Woodward and cry about how we never close transfer deals - because that’s patently untrue. It is to hire a director of football who not only understands the sporting DNA of the club, but can also continue to refine and shape it to the modern era. This way you get consistency in recruitment, and mitigate against the accumulation of deadwood.
In just one example, over the first 12 months of Van Gaal’s tenure the club moved on 14, fourteen!, first team players; and signed a host of replacements. Including a massive deal for Di Maria. Mourinho, then (again) replaced half the squad, and we brought in the lines of Pogba, Lukaku, and Sanchez in massive deals.
So unlike this this poster, I have every confidence in United “getting it done” in the transfer market - a cursory examination of recent history confirms that - Instead, my concern is us “getting it done” for players that might only suit a short term managerial appointment.
My hope is that Ole, or whoever the next manager will be, will be the first of a long line of managers to play in a well defined “Manchester United way”. Squad building can then act independently - albeit with vital input from the manager - on an institutional level; giving the club stability and success over a sustained period.

Nah, it wasn’t my point. Personally I can’t see them paying what we would want.
Transfers are just a complete lottery no matter what approach or strategy anyone undertakes. How much you pay for someone rarely indicates whether they are going to work out or not cause there's too many variables from age, experience, culture, language, experience in this league, style of play, whether they settle, right fit with team, get on with team mates, family settle, injuries, change of manager as there's the strong possibility that the person who signed you will be here for a shorter period of time than you are.
Same for all the clubs, just easier as we know when the stars align and you win things. Ultimately that's the measure of your transfers strategy. No one focuses of the amount of players that it didn't work out for a City, just the ones that it did. Amazing how winning can bury the bodies of your mistakes.
Hats off to you sir !!
