If you listen to some people here, there are only 2 quality leagues in the world: Premier League and La Liga. Utter nonsense of course
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

The supposed deadline leaves Dortmund approximately a month before the new season resumes. I’m convinced they’ll want to bring in Sancho’s replacement well ahead of the resumption.
Most high profile transfers is already agreed in principle with player and agent before anything is agreed with the club.
I'll add in my answer to a similar reply.
But yes. We know he wants to come, if not the clubs won't be negotiating this much. But we still have to wait for his vacation to end before it can move past the negotiation phase.

AWB - Lindelöf - Maguire - Shaw
Pogba - Bruno
Greenwood - Sancho - Rashford

Try the low block now, relegation fodder!!

Yeah, mind blowing. Every other league is a 'farmers league'.
I think the point made about Hakimi earlier in the thread was an excellent one because as superb as Sancho is, and has been, Hakimi has been a revelation flanking him and making himself available for any lay off, pass, or one-two Sancho wants. Even when Sancho tucks, Hakimi immediately flanks wide and takes men with him on the overlap, or at least immediately presents them with the dilemma of stick or twist.
They're an amazing tandem and I don't think AWB can match that, but I hope he can 'flow' and not be static, hesitant or just unaware of what he should or could be doing to make that right flank as difficult as possible for the opposition to defend.
It's going to be a big test for him because he'll see far more of the ball and be under pressure to make productive use of it than he'll have known in his career to date.
Could be his time to come of age. Think it's a big challenge for him as our intricacy will go up notches with Sancho's style of play and the way he forces others to match that bar.
Love this setup!
I’d been wondering if Bruno & Pogba could play together in the midfield some games but didn’t want to appear daft mentioning it on here. But surely it could be possible when teams are parking the bus? Or at least possible for second halves of games when securing a win is crucial?
So who do we reckon will get done first? Sancho and Havertz?
His neck is too long
Watching English teams getting trashed in Europe by teams from "bad leagues" should put things a bit into perspective. There is a difference but its less than what people think. Yes the top6-8 teams in the EPL are better than La Liga/Serie A etc combined, but after that it's really a free-for all.
Havertz, but 2 weeks
Havertz I think but I can't see the Sancho transfer dragging out for weeks and weeks either.
I wasn't really serious, but sure. Wouldn't mind seeing it, if only as an experiment to break our goal scoring (and conceding) record in a half or something.
The photo is photoshopped and that guy is a fake ITK. Delete.
probably havertz, but sancho shouldn't take too long after that
Yes I agree it would be a higher pressure than he's known to get forward, like you say hopefully it will be the making of him. He is probably the best athlete in the team so I I don't think the physical aspect of getting up and down the flank poses a problem, its indeed the inclination to do so and not take the safer option.
I have liked some of AWB's linkup this season, he's not scared to play a quick one-two or a few intricate passes to get out of trouble on the wing, if he can get up the pitch and link well with Sancho it will hopefully provide a similar Sancho-Hakimi type situation for us.
Regarding the bolded part I really hope to see this, we've had some great attacking play in the good spells we've had (particularly the recent free scoring run we were in) and if we can increase that intricacy and retain the ball high up the pitch as a result I really think it will take us to the next level.
He apparently works or knows people who work in the marketing department, not sure which one it is. His track record last summer was very good as far as I can remember, however, he's got a time frame of 2 weeks for this deal to be done so we'll see.
Edit: he's also the first to put forward that we're in for Aaron Connolly of Brighton

It's a Photoshop?
Don't get me wrong, it clearly benefits Sancho having Hakimi at Dortmund but that is only one season. Sancho performed just fine with Lukasz Piszczek at right back. I don't think its that much of an issue in all honesty.
Hahahaha that would be a bitter sweet feelingI wasn't really serious, but sure. Wouldn't mind seeing it, if only as an experiment to break our goal scoring (and conceding) record in a half or something.
Yes, I saw the account that made it in excitement to see what he would look like. Not sure if this guy is claiming it to be a real press shot or not, but I've seen him plenty before and he's as fake as Pamela Andersons tits.It's a Photoshop?
no, he he wasn't.
Surely Pamela's tits aren't photoshopped?!
Come on man, of course it is....but is that seriously gonna get in the way of your muppetting???
Sorry, I must have missed what he called wrong, what did he get wrong?no, he he wasn't.
Right, I just watched a couple of his youtube highlight videos. He has even better highlights than Bruno. He's such a natural with the ball when dribbling. Also who said he is slow? Unless the videos are recorded on double speed, he is rapid!
Take it to the "ITK thread" where the other make believers hang out. We know Sancho is going to happen, we don't need another kid in his bedroom telling us fancy stories first.Come on man, of course it is....but is that seriously gonna get in the way of your muppetting???
What did he get right do you mean? all he ever did was repeat what the press said and claimed like it was inside information.
Amazing how non of these guys picked up the Ighalo transfer when the press hadn't talked of him for 2/3 weeks.
Ahh the old "marketing department" gag.
Goddam it that is some juicy juicy stuff.
True
I've thought it was a nailed on transfer for months tbh. But I find it all part of the fun during muppet season.It's crazy. Sancho is the definition of explosive but I think we've already seen most people are poor judges of speed. Some used to say Smalling was slow and Greenwood too
Thought we had to keep all the ITK rubbish to the relevant thread?
Looks like he was born to wear that shirt to me.Ooft, he looks the part
That seems to be right from the 'ITK' playbook to be fair. Then they can claim they were never wrong
I think it's all part of the fun as well though. I don't take these things too seriously and it's quite funny watching them backtrack when they get things wrong.
Absolutely, that has definitely got the mouth watering.
geez man, hard day?
I realize it was not a real photo of Sancho in a Utd shirt, just excited about an idea of what he looks like in our kit and it does look good, photoshopped or not, muppetry and all that. I had no idea this guy tweeting was som alleged ITK user from reddit.
We got 350 pages of all kinds of stuff, but hey if it makes you feel better I can make my next post be another discussion of if Sancho can make it with a RB behind like AWB as opposed someone like Hakimi who is more offensive.
