United sign Jadon Sancho - Dortmund CEO Waltzing No More!

It still didn't matter in terms of challenging, we were 2 points off winning the title and were very unlucky in our CL exit.

Our spending including this summer in the last couple of years is likey to reach 400m and there are still major doubts whether this team is able to challenge for major titles.
And the three seasons before we were two points off winning the title and went out of the CL early?

Well, no team is going to win it every year. Not even City with almost unlimited funds do that. The point is we didn't fall off much and kept challenging despite losing the 2nd best player in the world. With some luck that year, we could've achieved basically the same results.

I don’t recall Messi ever playing for United.
 
Never done what? I’m not talking about a full stadium presentation, just something like this:

Jesus... Ronaldo and Tevez out, those 3 in. :(

We’d won the league three seasons running. Got to two CL finals in a row, won one, as well as winning the league cup.

The season we sold Ronaldo and signed those three we won nothing. It’s a massive stretch to say that winning nothing is the same as winning the league, CL and league cup.
 
The worst part…. It was the same window we sold Cristiano.

i mean… seriously ?

I think that was the beginning of the end. Sure we still made some decent signings after that but for most of the time it was more about mending the fence rather then seriously improving the side.
 
How can it take a week to sort out paperwork considering he’s actually signed etc?
 
Transfer from Dortmund might have all been agreed and all the documentation on that side of it done, just not sorted out the player registration with the League and whatever else needs to be sorted on that side?
 
Fabrizio "the echo" Romano with another belter.

You guys act like Romano is reporting directly to you or something. As if everyone is such an enthusiast partaking in football forums and/or constantly digesting every tidbit from everywhere. Such a weird thing. The guy has a following that most likely get most football related news from him. He's a journalist, that doesn't translate into only nor always solely reporting breaking news.
 
Only reason I can think of for why this hasn’t been formally announced is they don’t want to disclose the fee in case it affects other potential transfers? I’m sure clubs can find out how much players actually cost regardless of it being announced or the increasingly popular ‘undisclosed fee’

I think it's funny, I'm not offended or all that bothered just having a laugh. It's a bloke on twitter.
 
Anyone wonder if it’s delayed a little as well so Jadon can call Edi and beg for the #7???

I doubt it but I hate players switching numbers…. Bruno has eyes on 8 but would love if he stayed 18. Oh well

The fee was fully disclosed by Dormtund weeks ago
 
Not being funny, but they kept us waiting for this transfer for a whole year and are even delaying the announcement for some bizarre reason.

This is officially the most boring transfer in history. I'm so done with the entire thing that the announcement will probably be so underwhelming that it'll annoy me as well.

Thanks for keeping us updated.
 
This is already done. It's boring to wait for the announcement. Bust your load now and move on to the Varane thread :drool:

If it falls through now, we can all have a massive laugh about it. And then never deal with Dortmund again :mad:
 
Unfortunately i cannot post any multimedia yet but i hope that this delay is because we want present Varane and Sancho together.

There is a gif from The Friends when Ross opens the door and Chandler and Joey are getting inside on the dog sculpture. If someone could put Varane and Sancho faces on them and John Murtough on Rosses i would die of happines.
Anyone ?
 
...Too long for announcement, whatever they planned for the reveal, must be god-tier marketing.
 
The delay in announcement may itself be a marketing tactic, as people keep talking about it.
