So everyone else saying that negotiations about the structure of payments, they bullshit us with,' no official contact,'
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

Sancho has just instagrammed a picture of him with Leon Bailey at his birthday party so he’s back in Germany.
No-one can remember the time or place now, but it would have been some massive transfer saga, where he either piped up with the fact we were "Interested", or announced it miles after everyone knew it was done.
Apparently the party was on Friday
This is the bit of the saga where someone points out we often use intermediates, who are not "officially" part of United, so it's not actually incorrect
He's just playing up to his online "late" persona that's all.
If something would have happened it would be everywhere by now

It’s been negotiated through an intermediary so ‘no official contact’ means that no official bid from the club to Dortmund has been made.
Ah! And Bailey has just tweeted his thanks for that party retrospectively... being a muppet detective is hard work!!
Hopefully announced in next week or two, not looking forward to a window long saga.
Not being a football person, the source, the 'left back from France' could easily refer to Benoit Badiashile. Just a thought...

Ok, thi is now officially a saga. Those intermediaries cant even put in a bid.

Who is this Howard Nurse person and why is he a meme?
So we have official and unofficial contact, only the transfer window...
Hmm anybody feel like this will just disappear now? He’ll go on tour whilst we get linked with other players.
I think this is dead tbh.
The Howard Nurse tweet is the best of the saga btw....fecking gold that.

It seemed quite convincing too, but that could just be me indulging my muppet side.
Who knows.
Nah, it will happen soon enough.
Official contact means literally nothing. You don't need any official contact until the day the contracts are signed.
Makes a good tweet though
No "official" contacts. It was reported there was an intermediary acting between the two clubs.
There is no deadline outside of the official transfer window one. This 10th August one is absolute bollocks, I'm not surprised we called their bluff on that garbage.
It's official! Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin are officially Manchester United players
How does this imply it's dead
Bennacer would be underwhelming as an arsenal reject but he’s changed position. He would be cover for matic And would be able to cover other positions too I guess.
Imagine having that power to drive thousands of people into a state of frenzy just by typing out two words.
Amazing how these journalists have become stars within their own right.

Nah. We've been in contact via a third party as mentioned. That's another brief. Romano said there's been further discussion today. I think all will be clear this time tomorrow.
Just think it will die off. He’ll be training with Dortmund and we’ll get linked elsewhere. Been reported by most of the top journalists that they wanted the deal done by tomorrow, they’ll be proper stubborn now.How does this imply it's dead
I was expecting Woody to give in just before the 10th deadline, and announcements to be made over the weekend.
Looks like we're playing it very risky now by calling Dortmund's bluff. This might backfire if BVB want to make a point and decide to block any sale from tomorrow onwards.

Just when you’re thinking it’s off it’s ON like donkey kong.
According to Twitter, Nurse posted a cryptic tweet like this about Schneiderlin the day before we signed him.
Bad Ragaz sounds like a setting in Middle Earth
Stars me arse.
fecking liars the lot of them.
Seriously one of the best muppet tweets ever that. Howard playing upto his usual late news, fair play to him.
Why would they be stubborn if they get the money they want? Makes no sense.

He's become a running joke due to being slow to react to breaking news.
Exactly. Absolute nonsense. I don't like Ed Woodward but Dortmund can not impose deadlines on Manchester United. It's just a joke that there are some so called Manchester United fans who believe that crap on here. So sad actually.

the muppets need to see the evidence for the juices to start flowing ..
Just relaying what I've heard. If it is wrong you can modkill me next game!
They're already being stubborn. They have a price of 120m EUR and won't budge from it. If 2 weeks pass and we offer 120m EUR, they will still accept.
It's just ideal for them to move on early, but this "deadline" concept is absolute bollocks. It'll get done, these transfers aren't straight forward and they need to accept that.
