How does everyone seem to be so certain everything will be back to normal next year? There are still entire cities in complete lockdown. The impact of this thing could be felt for a very long time. It's a bit of a stretch for Dortmund to think everything will be all rosy again next year, with teams happy to splurge 200m on players again.
On Sancho though, they seem headstrong on their price of 120m, either we have intention to pay it, or we don't, I hopefully see this being sorted soon, especially as Dortmund seem happy to receive the payment in instalments and with the constant talk of the deadline. It would also be beneficial for us to get him in earlier, rather than later, so he can begin gelling with the squad.
If it isn't happening, we should tell em to get fecked earlier rather than later, as either way, we need to strengthen the squad. That 120m could be used in a few positions of need, mainly DM, CB, FB etc. even though Sancho would be my priority.
We have mocked Roma for them not paying what we wanted, we can't then turn around and cry about injustice when Dortmund stay headstrong on their valuation. That's what they value their asset at, there's either a buyer, or there isn't.
