At least we’re on the same page. I thought you didn’t rate him at one point.

I’ve watched Sancho quite closely and the thought of him has my blood rushing! He is the real deal and we are so damn lucky the global circumstances mean we are the only ones in for him!

Honestly mate, we can not afford to let this go to next summer. There will be a shed load of clubs wanting him even if they have to pay over the odds with him having one year left on his contract.

No signing is ever a guarantee but some players are game changers which you just have to gamble on. I honestly don’t think he is a gamble though.
It's along the lines of Rooney back in 2004. English wonderkid, with obvious star potential. Has to be up there for our most exciting signings if it happens.

An old uni pal of mine that I'm still in touch with works at the Guardian (joined fairly recently). He says folk there were briefed that a deal was reached a while ago and will be announced officially early next week. Woodward posturing so the clubs of other targets think we have bugger all left in the coffers after this. Supposedly some left-back from France and Bennacer from Milan but that wasn't part of the brief just speculation.

He's only given me scoops on Scottish football before, hasn't been one to bullshit. In any case it is too late in the game for me to make money on this info so thought I would share here and keep the muppets juices flowing.

I should mention he doesn't work on sports columns never mind football.

I choose to believe every word of this.

That'd be a weird one, we already have Shaw and Williams, don't other areas need improvement first?

Also I really, really hope you're right!

I want to believe this so much that I think I actually will.

This is the kind of muppetry I unzip for, hopefully you're right

Now this is interesting potential ITK info.

Let's see if it pans out.

He’ll still have contacts with those that do. He was hearing about us extending Pogba’s contract before it broke in the papers. He knows something is about to break I reckon...
He was talking about his own mate...not Nurse.

He pressed send before he’d finished his tweet.

He meant to say

Sancho then Grealish then Koulibaly then the premier league

Woodward doesn’t wants clubs to think nothing in the coffers - but then briefs the Guardian?!

I must be dumb because I cannot for the life of me figure out the significance in that "Sancho then" tweet.

It's meaningless?

It would be insane to not believe an old uni friend. Done dealio.
Seen a few transfer stories in my time and the old uni friend of a guy on a forum is usually 100% correct in 1% of the cases. Done dealio.

It's hard to believe anyone at the club briefs Jamie Jackson since he's rarely right about anything. But maybe there's another journalist there who's reliable.

The scenes if after years of being a meme Howard Nurse is actually the first one to break news of a deal being agreed
This! Would be quite the comeback. Strange tweet on so many levels.

Rarely see you posting outside of the WW games, so I'm inclined to fall for this hook line and sinker.

Don't spoil it!

Also the clubs might realise we still have money when they come sniffing around for their player!

I love the way he's just casually cruised in with a "oh yeah it's done" message and cruises back off.
