It needs to die, at least for now. Absolutely feck all has happened in nearly two weeks. Got absolutely no idea how you lot have managed to add nearly 250 pages in that time.

You were desperate for it to be called off, it’s all there in the thread.
:lol: how ridiculous. Imagine supporting United and being desperate that such a transfer would be called off. I was sceptical about the chances of it happening, and have so far unfortunately been proven correct in my scepticism. I hope that I am wrong, but there aren't even any noises coming out of the media anymore, which is disheartening.

If I could I’d buy you a pint mate.

We would have Sancho training in Carrington already and be working on more reinforcements.

Would be an absolute no brainer if they come sniffing again. Hopefully Covid will make the Glazers drop their money grabbing valuation next time.
The key remit of the Saudi PIF is to diversify away from the reliance on oil revenues, to long-term benefit financially from investments throughout the world, in pretty much every sector of business.

They wanted to profit from the football club as much as any owner

I don’t buy that. The Sheikh’s want to diversify to find an alternative to oil so they buy Manchester United?

The same club that can’t outspend Chelsea currently.

Talk about a drop in the ocean. They earn more than we generate annually before they’ve finished their feckin cornflakes

I wasn't. I genuinely don't think we'll bid enough to get him and as this saga drags on I grow increasingly unconvinced that he'll join. As I said, I really hope I'm wrong.

He’s even openly stated that it’s his opinion. Not a brief, not a scoop from an insider. His opinion.

This deal is dead as feck boys, I'm looking. Here's Sancho having the opportunity to kill the rumours, but choosing not to, which is something to be positive about. He obviously wants to join, it's becoming very evident it's our inability to pay causing the issues.

He’s apparently forcing himself to smile every day. In other words, he wants a move. Could have put to bed the rumours and said he’s staying there for the season but didn’t. It’s still on lads but we need to find the money somewhere somehow

That's what I took from that too, granted, can't say I agree with the forcing to smile part :lol: He had a golden opportunity to put it to bed, but chose not to, which means he still considers it a possibility, we just need to fecking pay up

and its quotes like that which is why I still 100% believe this deal will happen.
Don't think anyone has ever doubted his desire to leave. The problem has always been our inability or rather lack of intent in spending what's required. Something has surely got to give eventually

It's basically a verbal written transfer request. So on.

Jokes aside, it's interesting that the German media seem to be so convinced there's no chance he's leaving, whilst the player himself has had opportunities to put this to bed but has chosen not to.

His quotes also confirmed he won’t be throwing a fit to leave. Of course he wants the move but if we can’t fork out the money, he’ll be okay to stay in Germany for another year. The ball is back in our court to get it done

Ye, I hope this starts getting sorted quick, whether it's signing him or moving onto targets. Only so many times I can get my heart broken in quick succession. My muppet juices are almost all dried up

Both observations aren't independent of each other. If no one asks the question whether he will leave, because everyone assumes that no means no, then he has no pressure to make grand declarations. It's not like anyone pretends he wasn't at the very least open to a transfer either. The question is more whether or not he will act professionally and in that context both question and answer from the quoted statement fit:

There’s been so much talk, so much noise – how much do you like watching people speculate?

I try not to look at the media because I think once you start looking at all that it would be easy to get carried away with it. It can affect players. For me it’s about not looking at those things and just focusing on trying to do the best I can on the pitch. Especially in training. For me it’s about improving every single day. It’s important for me to keep a smile on my face and keep happy. I don’t really look at all the noise and all that stuff. I’d rather keep my head down, keep focus and improve every day.

Whether it's United trying to save face / trying to get an edge in other negotiations or British journalists trying to milk the last clicks from this story: since deadline day we've had the most vague reports that negotiations are still going on and muppets took it from there, everyone else seems to have moved on.

England:
I really get the feeling that this is a now or never situation with Sancho for us.

Come next summer Chelsea may be looking to replace CHA. City might part ways with Pep and the new manager might make Sancho his number one priority signing.

Maybe Madrid or Barcelona will be looking for a new figurehead for their rebuilds.

My point is it’s incredibly arrogant from the club and the fans if they think it’s a given that we’d be the number one destination for him next summer.

What if we finish outside the top four? What if Dortmund stick to the €120 million valuation next year?

We need to move heaven and earth to get this kid signed up right now. I don’t give a shit if it means we don’t sign a two bit Brazilian centre back or another Welsh winger that’s a bit better than Lingard.

Just sign the fecker up now.
