Reminds me of the denial in the Griezmann saga. I do think the circumstances are different here though. Can't put too much blame at the feet of the club, 120m in this market was always going to be a very tough ask. Regardless of whether it was a sensible valuation, which it was imo.I fear some of you will never accept the fact the transfer ain't happening no matter what is briefed
Let's see what happens in the next few days
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

Thats why I would pay for him now. No point waiting another season. Opportunity cost for this season. Whatever we save by waiting, we could easily recoup by ensuring top 4 when we get him.
8/11 at Sky looks good value on him signing now.
Woodward doesn't do the negotiations as far as I'm aware.
Yes I see your point but this comes after an apparently fixed deadline.
To allow a deadline to pass is one thing, then to make such a strong statement that the player won’t leave just adds another layer to it.
I hope I’m wrong. I think it will take Jadon putting in a transfer request imo.
I thought thats what i'd be doing by now.
Especially when it's Judge who does the negotiations.
I remember Zorc as an average midfielder, with Rashford and Greenwood we don’t need a competitor for that role but simply a better backup than James and Mr Beans
Because Ole succeeded massively by finishing 3rd and earned Champions League football.
Now when it’s Ed’s turn to deliver for Ole, he failed to get Ole’s number one target from as far as last year. How is he not to blame? Isn’t that his job?
No idea what you’re banging on about
Of course we were not. But unlike ITKs the club does not post on Twitter about these things.
I believe this complicates things. I thought that it will definitely happen cause BVB can not afford having him with only 1 year of contract next summer, but it looks that they were in a much better position than we thought (and why this is taking longer). I don’t think that there is off though, if that happens we will hear from the usual journos who get briefed in these circumstances.
The difference is, we tried to do things the right way, as reports point out, we were willing to pay the £120m but in instalments however; BVB do not want to negotiate, so why not?
Well that’s the they need to sell this summer they won’t get the same amount next summer line done with.
He said the player doesn’t leave and that he will play at Dortmund next year. He even said himself that he can’t be much clearer than that.
Sure he could still sell but let’s see. So far Romano stays firmly on my bullsh*t list.
Have you got the spotter marking targets?
The funniest thing in this thread is everyone says let's see what happens in the next few days. Those next few days never come.
No, he doesn't. One more myth created by media/twitter.
the german media who were talking about the deadline were all saying negotiatons will continue this morning. the deadline was simply just a negotiation tactic, not a real thing.
He wasn't going to come until Raiola started kicking chairs at people. Same with Dembele when he said they were staying. Auba pushed through a move too iirc. Do you genuinely see Sancho doing that? He doesn't seem to be too bothered sticking around a little longer.
No, he doesn't negotiate our transfers. He delegated that years ago.
Calm down everybody! I'm not a transfer muppet but it's still really ON imo.
Yeah they got me with that extension. We need to just pay up now and get him bedded in, if they'll negotiate with us.
I'd be very, very surprised if Sancho hands in a transfer request, I don't buy into that.
And we know from past transfers (Griezmann, Dybala etc) that United will come out and brief that theyre cooling their interest in a player when the deal is off or totally unobtainable.
The fact that nothing has come out from United stating that, tells me that were still confident and that United see all this from Dortmund for exactly what it is - a show of strength. Doesn't matter what's said in the public eye, there will be LOADS going on behind closed doors that we will never likely hear about until the transfer is done or falls through
Exactly.

"According to Information of R N Sancho's contract does not include a release clause"
Of course bro, Dortmund wouldn't reject a £108M bid on a Tuesday which would have been accepted on a Monday.

Sancho would have so many more options available to him next summer so i'm not sure he'd mind staying for another season. Liverpool and Bayern could both be in for him next summer, especially Bayern if they end up missing out on Havertz.
Good point. Not took much notice of this until recently but it just seems like they will continue to play hardball for a bigger chunk of money up front.
clownLiverpool can’t even get a deal for Jamal Lewis over the line. Bayern won’t pay 100m
It sounds like total bullshit to me.
If thats what he thinks then he shouldn't have extended at all, and would've been keeping an eye on running out his contract so he'd have even more options. I just can't imagine he'd be thrilled about staying on for another year when guys like Havertz and Werner are moving the other way.
Let's be honest with ourselves, he's just too expensive. Covid was always going to have an impact on how much money we were likely to spend and we already spent a large chunk of the budget on Fernandes back in Jan. We should now go look for a couple of bargain pickups to fill some gaps in our squad, but this is Woodward we're talking about so we probably won't.
Wake me up when September ends
Jan plays too much poker. And is obviously bad at it.
Damn, guess no cheeky bid from us next year, then
If Covid hits again hard, as many expect it to, then finances will be hit even harder and its likely that he'd go for less than were offering Dortmund now. I think Dortmund know this, and whilst trying to show strength, they'll be working hard to find an agreement with us. Thats my opinion
