Are our transfer updates embargoed or what? Why the silly and pointless delay?

Yeah most likely.
Sky are probably waiting for Jan’s podcast before they report something.
Ed's issue is he gives managers too much power. All these re-signed deadwood were done at the direction of Ole, LVG and Jose.
Tomorrow:
Bayern Munich have agreed terms with Jadon Sancho. The deal which could rise to £38m is expected to be completed by the weekend.
Not the sort of signing that propelled them to the title though. He'd be a good signing for them now because they're in a comfortable position, can take more risks on young players and look at upgrading their back ups like Minamino.
Actually would take him in a beat, but Sancho also and could loan out Lingard and Pereira.
Because if Liverpool get him he'll probably become Mane level. Whereas if we get him he'll be James level. Nailed on.
What's the purpose in buying Sancho then.
"Guaranteed" top class signing.
It's these punt type ones that have the distinction.
we don’t know that’s true.
regardless our problem is we pay squad players first team salares. The red shite are a perfect example, they always shift their deadwood for profit (20 mil for solanke!) but it’s because other clubs can pay the wages.
Your not getting a fee for Jones whilst he is on 100k. Even Williams who had a promising start before struggling badly, what did he get 65k? Madness. No oneelse would pay that sort of money so why should we! That must be Woodward’s fault!
Sarr for 40m would be a classic Woody signing.
Don't give the manager the player he wants, but waste significant money on a punt.
Sack manager 6 months later, and then repeat the cycle.

red shite have Eddie Howe to thank. With Bournemouth sunk, they are also finding it hard.
In the past, we would do the same with all of Fergie's mates in Big Sam, Bruce and co.
Agree about the wages but that's solvable as we saw with Sanchez. Loan Jones out and sell him after a year if he does well.
As horrific as he is thankfully since solskjaer came this ridiculous approach has stopped
From what all the sacked managers we've had since Fergie have said, this isn't the case at all. They all said they didn't get the players they wanted, and had to dip way down their lists.
They're either all lying, with the exact same story, or it's what has happened.
Seems like they're selling Rhian Brewster for a decent amount. Could cover some of the Thiago signing and be enough for them to move for Sarr.
I laughed at this because it's true. You can see Klopp turning Sarr into Mane MK2, selling Salah at a profit in a few seasons and everyone praising the squad management. All the while we're scrambling around for a big name we either can't afford or whose being bombed out of Madrid or something.
Well Klopp is one of the great systems coach. As long as the player fits the system, they can significantly outperform.
United under Ole are about maximizing the individual talents, which is why Martial has done so well. Someone bang average like James will always struggle.
Wasn't he playing in the Premier League last season? Or is he a championship player cos Watford got relegated? Are all Leeds and Fulham players now Premier League quality?
I'd suggest its not a bad idea to go for Liverpool targets considering their success rate in recent years.
So they reluctantly decide Thiago is worth 30m after all and now we're supposed to believe they're going to spend 36m on Sarr?
Robertson was from a relegated side and has been a key player. Shaqiri came in as a backup option which is what Sarr may be down the road. I'd rather Sarr now and a 1st team player next summer than nobody this summer at all.
He sure isnt Sancho no matter how you label him.
5-10 million is much more than we've been making on defenders of late (maybe ever?). If he is great and helps us win the league and a couple of other trophies then I wouldn't care if he wanted to go back to Real in 2 years.
Scenario 1 is not a valid argument at all - that's a risk with any player we buy.
Is he better than Lingard or James? 5 goals and 4 assists for a relegated team is a lot more impressive than James and Lingard's output from last season for a team which finished 3rd.
Reminder... don't believe a word Delaney says.
Well he's more of a long-term signing for one thing.
Don't think this is a valid argument either - if a player wants to go back to Real he'll try to be bloody brilliant to make sure Real activate that buy back. Doubt he's he going to sulk on the bench and run down his 5 year contract.
German fans would celebrate that, including the ones supporting Dortmund.
At least under Solskjaer there is some semblance of players improving.
We only have to remember back to the dark days of Mourinho, with Martial and Rashford either competing for one slot, or both being benched, with the development of both utterly stalled.
We haven't quite lost that mentality that a huge buy will fix things, but at least we have tried to go for that level below that could develop, like Wan Bissaka and Bruno, albeit not exactly for bargain fees!
Delaney was reading the caf today when the Sarr thread was randomly bumped. I am serious, guy is a fraud
What was the original Tweet?
Long-term target for them, if they think it’s best to do it now they will likely find the money because they are generally smart in the transfer market nowadays.
What did it say? Been deleted.
