There's a very real possibility that Dortmund do indeed mean what they say. It more or less makes sense and adds up.
Yes, the constant denials are a bit unnecessary, but like multiple posters mentioned, they get asked the question and answer rather consistently that he's staying. They can hardly dodge the question, can they?
I'm not saying it will or will not happen, I have no idea. But I'm a bit confused by the insistence of some in this thread that Dortmund are just playing games. They could be, they could be serious. Of course the muppet in me wants to think they're waiting for us to pay up, but not sure I'd be convinced of that stance if I was a neutral.
There's also the scenario that Sancho would indeed like to join us, hence no "I stay" message, but Dortmund being stubborn anyway. They don't have to sell right now unless Sancho kicks up a fuss, which seems doubtful at best.
Maybe there's the simple fact we dont have the funds available, so we cannot pay up, even if we wanted.
Toning down the hostility towards other fans would also be nice, most of the Dortmund or Bundesliga lads in here make very valid points about this transfer. One dude rubbing it in aside of course, but you know who you are.
