I can't really see a window where we get both Sancho and Rice.

I would say thats entirely sensible too. All the noise coming out of Old Trafford in the last year is that covid has crippled the club and it'll have an effect on our summer transfer budget. Anyone expecting us to spend Jose levels of money this Summer are dreaming. Due to covid it's unlikely we'll receive huge bids for players out of favour too.
We could probably claw together £50-60m in player sales, thinking Lingard, Pereira, Matic, de Gea/Hendo. Add on another £50-75m in our war chest. We're looking at one big name signing and a few lower key signings.
Rice on his own will be considered a marquee signing. He will cost morw than Bruno Fernandes for one.
This would be the sponsors we haven't already locked into long-term deals.
The point is I don't see that nebulous stuff paying half of his insane wages. The poster also claimed he'd be free.
He can't go for free til the end of 21/22.
This is a non-runner as far as I'm concerned.
Especially when he plays a leading role in winning us the Euros.
Oh feck I'd forgotten.
We'd realt want all our business done before the Euros. Can't see us managing that either.
In theory we should have funds available from last summer having not spend the Sancho budget. I think Sancho + Rice is possible, the rest would depends on who we can get rid of.
The thing with transfers like this is that, all respect to Leicester, the player will be wanting the biggest club he can get into. He will have been touted around everywhere by his agent asking clubs to match the offer and none seemingly have, and there's probably good reason for that.
Think the Sancho money is there irrespective of sales, but the CB will come in from those sales and we seem to be quite confident that we'll cobble enough from those sales to get a CB of decent repute in, judging from the reports that have been consistently coming out.
Imo Sancho is the marquee signing. I don't see how we are going to sell Lingard without at least using him for Rice. Whether we and West ham can come to an agreement is another matter. I don't see us spending past 45-50m for a CB too
Ole says we need 2 or 3 but we need around 4 actually. Either way, it sounds like Ole is determined to get the players he wants this window.
CB
CDM
RW
CF
CB
CDM
RW
CF
Think he means 3 players for the starting XI, my gut feeling currently is that we are going to get either CB/CDM, Sancho, Trippier & Heaton in this window, we may get both of the highlighted positions IF we can manage to sell a couple of assets otherwise think it will only be one or the other.
On Sancho, a reminder that we've yet to even get in touch with Dortmund, and the furthest we've gone this summer is the talks with Sancho's reps.
Wijnaldum to Bayern Munich?
Have to love Bayern selling Thiago there for £30 million before taking Wijnaldum a year later for nothing.
Don't need to get in touch with them. Spent all last summer preparing the bid. We'll send the bid when the window opens. It'll look like quick business if you forget we did all the leg work last summer.
That's right. This should be straightforward for us if we want to pull the trigger unless we want the price to drop even further.
Don't do that...

The relevant Bruno Fernandes quote:
Context: Bruno Fernandes and Piotr Zielinksi were together in Udinese for 2-3 years.
Yeah they could really expect the protests to go up a level again with that window and rightfully so
Just enough time for him to add another 3 stone in muscle.
Former United player Matty James will also be leaving Leicester City at the end of the season.
They missed a glaring opportunity to use #FuchsOff
Such a shame how things turned out for him. And I suspect that his injuries and the long, well paid contract he had meant he wasn't willing to take a chance on going elsewhere, on less money, to play every week. It's hard to begrudge someone who has seen first hand how frail a footballer's career can be.
The quote (on whether he wants Lingard to sign permanently for West Ham):
Also in the article: West Ham aren't the only club interested, and the decision could be taken after the Euros.
Yeah. Someone is getting desperate. Think we are playing a waiting game. To see if anyone else would be interested to bid for Sancho so that we can play low ball.
Tiago Dantas will go back to Benfica as his loan spell will end, whilst Douglas Costa will most likely be leaving for Grêmio.
Bruno loves name dropping players he’d like us to sign doesn’t he?
Zielinski is a system player. He is usually gash for Poland.
ye that worked rather well last time...
Agreed. If we sign Sancho then Rice is not possible barring a massive Lingard exchange discount.
We don't get money from shirt sales unless it's directly from the club shop/online store. That's already baked into the deal we signed with Adidas.
