Yeah would be weird wording if it's less then 30m
Hasn’t this guy been spouting utter bollocks all Summer? Gonna wait for Orny on this.
Well, it's a massive loss, but considering how ridiculously high his wages were and that he served no purpose in the squad, receiving anything was going to be some sort of plus. Hoping we have a loan fee on top of the obligatory buy fee of £20-25m
Selling him for 20-25m obligation is so absurd that it seems fake.
Not one penny below 34/35m should be accepted, especially from a free spending club like Chelsea.

It's not a massive loss, he's got about £28M left on his fee left to amortize. It's a slight loss, and a massive, massive, massive cash savings (when including wages) over what keeping him would've cost.
Unbelievable move for United. Couldn't be happier.
His book value next year is around £15 mill. Question is, as you say, wages and loan fee.
It’s not a loss, there is a LOAN FEE on top of sale price.
You can't possibly understand PSR making comments like that. We're taking this money and sprinting to the bank with a big ol' smile on our faces. The wages alone he'd almost be worth giving away for free.
I'm in utter shock we got a deal like this done. Gives us an extra £50M to spend next summer.
Selling McTominay and Sancho for those prices is wild when you see the price random youth players are regaurly being sold for
Surely someone will give us a mouldy sandwich for Anthony while we are having a cut price clearout
His value will only lessen sitting on the bench while running down his contract.
It's really difficult to find anyone to give us money and cover all his wage. Even though the fee doesn't seem big, it's still a job well done.
Please take Rashford/Antony next season, thanks Chelsea.

McTominay with 1 year left on his contract. Sancho has been a huge flop and is on big wages. The circumstances of each player matter.
And let's be honest - it was important to ETH to get Sancho out the door - no matter what he says in public
Moving forward, then yeah, the one thing from this window the new regime could improve is getting higher fees for our players.
But we were in tricky positions with some players (Greenwood and Sancho especially) and they've done incredibly well this window to sell as many of them as they have, and get things like sell on fees and buy back options, etc, with the younger players. Though the (initial) fees for some of them are a little lower than ideal. But this window it was more about moving them on.
More than happy with the overall business, both ins and outs. A long way to go addressing the squad, but this window has been a very solid start.

No mention of conditions on the obligation as of yet, which is good.
It's huge. There will be loan fee and wages saved. The overall package for us is going to be in the region of 50-60m when loan fee, obligation to buy and wages saved are all factored in.
With his and McTominay's sales and the overall wage budget reductions we are much better placed for a January signing and will be able to be in the mix for any hot prospect next summer.
Absolutely. You could tell they both hated each other still, and Sancho seems like the sort of guy who will snake around the dressing room
It also demonstrates that dissent wont be tolerated, you'll get shipped out.
Tier 1:
Strangely worded amounts.
Initially: 'less than £40m' - strange way of wording a fee that's actually also well below £30m.
Now 'between around £23m'. I'd think 'between £20-25m' or 'around £23m' works better than 'between around £23m'.
Let's be clear, any amount of money for Sancho is a bonus. He is utterly crap and has fallen out with the manager, he is also unprofessional.
I wouldn't be surprised if the initial info came from Simon Jones, who's incredibly unreliable.Strangely worded updates.

And we are likely to receive a loan fee this season aren’t we?
Clearly what's happened is he's copied&pasted someone elses tweet and then realised he should probably reword it slightly. In his rush to get it out before falling further behind the rest of the twitterati, he's forgotten to get rid of the word 'between.'Strangely worded amounts.

£25 + loan fee / wages from Chelsea and whatever we got from Dortmund last season doesn't seem too bad for a player who's hasn't done a whole lot since we signed him.
Hope we are not covering a single pound of his salary during the loan period? That alone would already be a big cash injection.
I hope, but I doubt it.
Another player people just need to bloody forget about. We had this with pogba, lingard, Greenwood and undoubtedly sancho, people will obsess over how they perform elsewhere. Who cares? He had years to perform here under different managers and just flat out didn't.
agree strongly.
Well this is it. He never even had one standout performance, did he?
+1
We got shockingly good price for McT and getting rid of Sancho's wages is a miracle of the transfer window, if we pulled it off
Nothing to moan about.
No, yet some will invent a scenario where it all went wrong with ten hag despite him being steadily shit prior. We want higher standards and ruthlessness then pine after guys who stunk the place out
The issue is not PSR exactly, it’s getting atleast half the value for a player who can command such a fee.
Would rather be beneficial then to loan him to get maximum value next summer, which is exactly what we’re doing right now.
I might not understand PSR, you probably don’t understand basic business.
A lot of what ifs here. He cannot command such a fee because he wouldn't play for us. Not even Dortmund wanted him at a discount. His career as it is right now is on the decline and it would never have improved with us.
You can loan him out without obligation, but who says he's going to be a success at Chelsea in the first place and who says they would have prioritized him as much when he would have been on a loan? They would have had an easy out if he was shite, which he's been for quite some time.
I can agree that 35m would have been a fair price considering he might actually revive his career there (I doubt it) and he's still 24 but at the end of the day we got 25m for a player that probably wouldn't have seen the pitch here and we got rid of his abysmal 350k a week salary. The whole Sancho situation from start to finish was bad business in hindsight but it could have been way worse if Chelsea got him without obligation to buy and decided not to pick him up next summer for various reasons we are all to familiar with.
Mazraoui or Dalot will shut him down when playing Chelsea. Double bonus.
