There's no way United wouldn't know what his current contract entails - especially since it's said we've already agreed personal terms with him. We'd know how long his current deal is because it also dictates the price range we'd negotitate at. Just because Joe Soap and Journos didn't know about it, doesn't mean the club didn't know about it.It seems like that though. All the UK media (including United mouthpieces) all seems surprised by Zorc's statement about the extension till 2023.
I will be even more disappointed if the new rumblings about loans for Coman or Douglas Costa coming out now are true.
I still believe United will pay up but it seems there is much less room for maneuvering and haggling now.
I doubt it. If thats the case it would have been all over the media by now. Hes just towing the club line of hes staying because the deadline has passedSo Sancho has told Hummels he's staying then right?
We’ve got a game tonight so I can’t see anything coming from our end before or during tonight’s game.No briefings from us yet?
Let's hope so!Some more propaganda!
Perfect follow up question that for journalists, why don't they ask this stuff?I doubt it. If thats the case it would have been all over the media by now. Hes just towing the club line of hes staying because the deadline has passed
Don't understand why Dortmund do this, they make themselves look like a bunch of idiots when they do sell. Auba the perfect example.Tweet

This. I'd be worried if Ducker, Stones and Romano say the deal is off. Until then, this is on and Dortmund are pressurising United to find a deal that works.If push comes to shove United will pay up the fee.
The time to worry would be if United brief the likes of Ducker and Stones and say the deal off. That hasn't happened yet and nothing has changed.

Wh*res don't care much as long as money enters the pocket.Don't understand why Dortmund do this, they make themselves look like a bunch of idiots when they do sell. Auba the perfect example.
If Zorc has just come out and said "i plan on having Sancho available next season, hes staying", then Hummels isn't going to go against that and say "well we will have to see what happens won't we". Its piling the pressure on United to act and whether we do or not remains to be seen.Perfect follow up question that for journalists, why don't they ask this stuff?
But the fax machine breaks and deal’s off.Dortmund wanna play games, we’ll show them......
by paying €140 million on deadline day.

I read some questionable posts by people with the Newbie tag the last few days, but sheesh, you ain´t doing yourselves any favours here...Wh*res don't care much as long as money enters the pocket.
Isn't that Daniel Taylor?He's a Guardian journalist who's written books on United and Kevin Pietersen according to his Twitter bio.
I am now picturing Ed hastily trying to fax 140m.But the fax machine breaks and deal’s off.
How refreshingly non meltdown-ish.I'll only be annoyed if we dont sign someone for the right wing..
Sancho.. someone else.. dont care.. a good player for that position and I'm happy.
It's stage 5, acceptance.How refreshingly non meltdown-ish.

Yeah, that half a million or so (considering that Sancho is in a small salary, his loyalty bonus is gonna be peanuts) is gonna be a big reason in a transfer costing more than 100m and him being in a monthly salary higher than that bonus.Transfer requests aren’t handed in these days as the player would have to give up his loyalty bonus. Can’t see it happening tbh.
Hummels of all players.
Didn't take much for him to jump ship from BVB.
I know that, my point is as a journalist, you'd be missing a trick if you didn't delve into an obvious stock answer from Hummels on an issue about Jadon Sancho's potential transfer. You get no new information from the answer he gave but even if he declines to say that he told him, that's new information to work with as a journalist, however Hummels or Dortmund try to spin it.If Zorc has just come out and said "i plan on having Sancho available next season, hes staying", then Hummels isn't going to go against that and say "well we will have to see what happens won't we". Its piling the pressure on United to act and whether we do or not remains to be seen.
If United do cough up and have a big accepted, Dortmund could spin it saying the player demanded the move stopping short of handing a request in. That way they can say it was the player who forced their hand. Sancho could deny it but it'd be his word against theirs
If it's acceptance that Dortmund are full of shit and we shouldn't care either way then I d agree.It's stage 5, acceptance.
I was referring to the DDG incident a few years back, but I like your version better.I am now picturing Ed hastily trying to fax 140m.
We’re so incompetent with transfers we probably communicate with other clubs by sending hand written letters.But the fax machine breaks and deal’s off.
Have they?Honestly the media has been throwing out constant stories that suggest this is off and he’s staying but I’m not concerned by a single one. All seem to be part of the long-winded sagas we create by our dithering.
