Lots of smoke and mirrors here. Does anyone actually know what United are doing or saying to Dortmund? Do we know what the player has said to his club (as opposed to what some PR officer there tries to spin)? I don't blame Dortmund for setting a deadline, if they really have, it's a seller's prerogative to set price/terms but if Sancho himself has told them he wants to go, I think the matter will move forward. If he has told them he's fine to stay for another year, that's a different matter. The player himself has been remarkably restrained in his public comments, and I think that's a good thing. If he does come, he'll be on the receiving end of some scrutiny and Woodie will get blamed for the price no matter what we pay. If he doesn't come, it will be presented in media as a 'snub' by him and a Woodie negotiating cock-up at least. We're all the playthings of the media in this - the reality is likely quite different. Patience.
