I'm guessing that's contingent on Pogba going to Madrid.
Don't think it is. If you listen to the recent talk of the devil podcast from the athletic, Pogba probably stays for at least one more season.I'm guessing that's contingent on Pogba going to Madrid.
The way that it's written, he is suggesting that Inter are the most dominant team over the last 18 months but he mixed up their director's name with the Juve director.Yeah, I'm not really familiar with either of the names. On first glance it seemed like he was suggesting Inter have been the most dominant team recently.
Maybe I'm just tired
Not the most reliable source reporting it. So I'm gonna wait for Di Marzio or Romano to give their two cents. But I don't think we'll get much more from a Italian club.Seems quite low given the hyperbole surrounding his performances in Italy.

Yeah, I thought he could fetch at least €20m.Seems quite low given the hyperbole surrounding his performances in Italy.
Yeah but we don't want him and they know it. That brings the price down.Seems quite low given the hyperbole surrounding his performances in Italy.
Well, he will be a year older when the obligation kicks in so 3m added to the 15m for a 31 year old is reasonable imoSeems quite low given the hyperbole surrounding his performances in Italy.
Hopefully this is a sign we're not putting all our eggs in the Sancho basket.Tweet

Or we're playing games to show we can go elsewhere putting some pressure on Dortmund and the players camp to start putting some work in.Starting to see tweets linking us to other players. Beginning to look like we can't afford/justify the Sancho price
Dortmund seem completely fine to keeping him, doubt they really give a shit if we are looking elsewhere. The last respectable reports suggested they had no intention of budging on their valuation and we've heard nothing since except that we are now looking elsewhere.Or we're playing games to show we can go elsewhere putting some pressure on Dortmund and the players camp to start putting some work in.
He has 1 year left on his contract next summer, Dortmund will risk losing him for free 6 months from then.Dortmund seem completely fine to keeping him, doubt they really give a shit if we are looking elsewhere.

That being said, I hope that isn't the case.
Wow this might actually be the best time for Dortmund to get a good price for him. If they are stubborn and keep him another season every club that comes for Sancho would low ball them knowing they can get him for free in 6 monthsHe has 1 year left on his contract next summer, Dortmund will risk losing him for free 6 months from then.
It all about who wants to take the bigger risk, us losing out on him to another club offering a bigger signing on bonus, or Dortmund losing €100m
I was only jokingOr we are covering our bases and giving ourselves options so as not to look desperate
He will be 31y in november. And even it's not THAT much for CB, he still isn't Baresi or Cannavaro. He would be our 3. or 4. CB. I dont say it's a good price but there is good reasons why we will not get anything like 30M etc. But total with loans will be something like 15-20M. Im ok with that because club didnt seems to have future plans with him.Seems quite low given the hyperbole surrounding his performances in Italy.
He's not all that good. This is most likely his agent putting his name up to drum up interest or a better contract.Is Chiesa any good? I haven't seen him play. Anyone in a position to make comparisons with Sancho?
That's more like it.Tweet

Very good player, improving all the time. Plays for an average Fiorentina side though.Is Chiesa any good? I haven't seen him play. Anyone in a position to make comparisons with Sancho?
Sancho alternative Ole going on a full wing revamp.Tweet

Our players are not valued at the best of the times, never-mind someone who Ole obviously feels is surplus to requirements.I never was a fan of Smalling but only 15 mil is ridiculous.
I assume you're a Fiorentina fan trying to put us off signing himHe's not all that good. This is most likely his agent putting his name up to drum up interest or a better contract.
Don't know much about Chiesa but I'd imagine him and Van de Beek together would cost the same as Sancho - which would make more sense. Sancho could be amazing for us but risking getting another big money flop rather than improving elsewhere isn't the strategy we've been taking recently.Tweet

He wont flop, but we can get him for cheaper next season or for free in 2 years. Chiesa is versatile enough to play different positions, so it would make sense to wait on Sancho rather than pay 100m+ now.Don't know much about Chiesa but I'd imagine him and Van de Beek together would cost the same as Sancho - which would make more sense.

Need someone this season though. We’re too far off City and Liverpool but if we improve well this coming window we’d close the gap quite a lot.He wont flop, but we can get him for cheaper next season or for free in 2 years.

That is why Chiesa would make sense. I don't see us spending over 100m this summer on a single player anyway, even if RW is our biggest weakness and needs a top player. We may however buy a RW and a midfielder for 100m together and be done with for this summer.Need someone this season though.

If we won’t spend it this summer then why can we spend it next summer, after spending a fair chunk on a plan B ?That is why Chiesa would make sense.
