Jadon Sancho is a Dembele in 2017 or Mbappe level talent. Hes world class already despite being just 20, is English, and is in a position of need. Its a complete no brainer to get him. Sancho being expensive is because he is a world class attacker who scored 20 goals and 20 assists this season, despite being only 20 years old, and already having multiple top class seasons. He's a future ballon d'Or contender that is already one of the top few right wingers in the world.

Ferran Torres is a few levels below in terms of potential and is pretty much completely unproven in comparison.
Sure. I'm just saying to write off the window when it has 2-3 months to run is a bit reactionary.

Did you read the whole message or did you just pick a word out of context?
You're suggesting we look at other options. Not sure why Perisic on loan to Bayern was relevant there. They are adding to a great team, we are looking to solve our gaping RW hole that hasn't been filled for years and have the opportunity to sign an elite English talent to do so. Totally different context. I'm not saying we shouldn't have a backup plan, but it's clear why this is a signing people we should be going all out for.

So embarrassing, not just putting £120m on the table in a pandemic.

After all those other clubs have spent similar... oh wait.
Sadly, what the clubs we're trying to catch up with are doing matters not one jot. The 'Pool and Citeh are already up there. It's our choice whether to preach financial prudence and keep lagging behind, or spend big and get closer quicker. The rumoured 10 - 20m structure sticking points will not significantly affect United. Even in this pandemic. What will definitely boost us is success on the pitch. That bit is guaranteed. Our call...

Ok you guys think £70M is a fair valuation for Sancho. Dortmund thinks otherwise, and in Dortmund's position, I'd think the same as them
70m upfront in this current climate is. The rumours seem to say they want more upfront and the agents demands make the overall package ridiculous. IMO if they accepted a reasonable price, he'd be at Chelsea already.

Sancho is a better player and prospect than Dembele was. Hes a better player worth more than Auba or Pulisic. Auba as well was a lot older when he left, and Pulisic im pretty sure had 1.5 seasons left on his contract and was a bench player behind Sancho despite being older (and he never found consistency).
Sure. I guess double just seems an awful lot of hike even with a Man Utd tax. If they were saying £80m I'd get it even if Covid should have caused prices to fall.

It's clear you don't understand and pick out a word out of context. Have a nice day.

I’m confident, if we just signed him, it wouldn’t be a saga & deep down if one thing I’ve learned from reading the caf for a last few years during transfer season, is that we all love a saga.
It’s the ups, the downs, the it’s not on, to the it’s on like donkey kong.
It’s on, Woody’s reading this & spinning in his chair laughing at all the doubters.

So Whitwell says we haven't agreed terms.

But Romano all along says we have.

Hmm...

Wasn't Romano stance on terms that they wouldn't be a problem? Don't remember him saying terms agreed, but I could be wrong

I am totally calm. Since they said that want 120mil i didn't believe that we will sign him anyway. Maybe next year

This is 1000% not happening.
Some people just can't accept it.

The Twitter Twat bastard liars are still posting utter garbage and people still lap it up.

Get over it. Forget it. Move on.
Setting yourself up for it I see. Then you can go about saying “I toLd yOu sOo”.

You know what? They all fecking deserve Brexit and global warming as far as I'm concerned. I'm also donating their inheritance to research into making hats for dogs.

We will always finish behind city and Liverpool as long as he is in charge . He's good getting the sponsorship cash in but shite at spending it

Not really. I just dont get sucked in by the obvious lies and fake news spread by people desperate to be popular.

Id love United to sign him but until it's announced then every bit of lies and ITK news is exactly that

I suspect it's because Romano is getting his info through the agent(s) of Sancho whilst Whitwell and the rest of the UK journalist crew are getting their info from a United official - who won't want to admit that we've agreed personal terms yet.

I've been saying this since the start of the season and I'll say it again. We won't get Harry Kane, we won't get Sancho, we won't get Ronaldo and we won't get Bale. What we will get is a couple of squad players and a youth player or two. I was right on three of the first four and it's looking like I'll get the full house when the pursuit of Sancho eventually goes tits up. I'll wait to see about the squad players but I think it's fair to say I was right on the youth players. So stop wanking about world class players joining the squad... it won't happen.

I can't be bothered sourcing that Dumb and Dumber meme but I think you probably know the one I'm talking about.

What are the winnings, once you get your full house bro? Also - Absolutely nobody wants Bale at United lad.
