Ironic given Raiola pushed through our last signing from Dortmund. These are very different circumstances though of course.
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

If we manage to pull off this deal we need to infiltrate their forum afterwards good and proper
To be fair it will only come to life once Utd submit an official bid. It doesn’t make logical sense for Utd to go this long to not submit a bid.
It’s already been reported that Dortmund gave Utd permission to speak to Sancho a while ago. It makes sense why we haven’t put a bid in if the stalling is at the agents fees.
Brokers and agents are such a fecking pest.
The agent will naturally start at a ridiculous high demand too. He’s negotiating for himself as well. I believe they will get to a middle ground eventually.
Read some posts ago it's some Nigerian guy demanding obscene amounts of agent fees. No idea if that's legit though.
Yes they are a true pain in the ass for us fans and clubs.
But players love them and use them because they are able to negotiate fantastic packages for the players.
Yeah we sorted them out with Pogba in the end and feel confident we will do the same with Jadon in the end
I don’t think it’s a question of can we afford him. I think we believe it should be less than 105m. He wants to come, we’re the only buyer and Dortmund are heavily reliant on crowd revenue. This whole thing is brinksmanship in my eyes. We think Dortmund want to sell and will blink first hence why it’s going late in the window.
Remember when SAF said they were the biggest threat to the game

Romano must be the journalist..
I have a lot to do with them for my work. They are not only a pain in the ass for United.
Ooh Fab you could be in hot water with the Utd bigwigs now
I don't remember him ever saying it was all but done though?
He knows feck all. But if that’s true we can forget about it. Personal terms shouldn’t be an issue if he wants to join.
He said personal terms were agreed 2/3 weeks ago. Sky saying tonight that wages are a problem, so they are not agreed.
Nah this is very much on
Yes, please! We need to assemble an A-team of trolls to deploy over there.
He said the deal was in the advanced stages which as we know now couldn't be further from the truth. He got led down the garden path by someone it seems.
I actually wouldn’t be surprised if the top agents make more money than some of the top footballers over both careers. Agents can work probably twice as long as a footballers career. The number of deals they can do in one season and the large sums they get, they are smoking cigars just by talking on behalf of footballers.
Yeah someone's head at the club is going to roll if that information got leaked out somehow
I’m sure as shit going over there and letting them know about it. But first port of call will be Dortmund’s twitter account.
I know it’s an absolutely dick move to do, but I promised myself I would do it. My inspiration was mica.
Apparently he requires an amount upfront, after which he'll transfer back to United several times more than what we paid.
Yeah lets just keep our powder dry for now but does feel like confidence has grown again today
This whole Sancho business is a slap in the face of fake media. Sky Sports and all the usual suspects were reporting 3 or 4 weeks ago that a deal was done, personal terms agreed, and Sancho would earn 310k a week. Now these are not transfer muppets on Twitter. We are talking about reputable news organisations who gambled to put their reputation at stake and their necks on the line. This is enough proof for all of us to just wait until the club announces something. Skysports, Talksport radio and pretty much every newspaper in Britain are all guilty of spreading fake news. Its disappointing because when I hear anything on talksport or skysports now, I always say to myself, this might be untrue. You can't trust them. I will only believe it when United announce it.

I volunteer as tribute!Yes, please! We need to assemble an A-team of trolls to deploy over there.
Ok
Literally the first time I've heard of this.
Who was it that repoeted a month ago that wages and agent fees were a problem? Looks like they were spot on and Romano has got it wrong, along with Dumb & Dumber (the two Bundesliga reporters)
I say NEIN!
Good player but not at this moment. If there is money we should be looking at other players. We already got young squad. We don't need to buy young players. We don't need to have a kindergarden. There are lot of cheap quality out there. Quality that is not in range of £100m.
Getting Van der Beek is excellent peice of business. That is what we should be doing.

Still reckon we will get deal done in the end despite the reported wage demands and agents fee issuesHope he is. Absolute blag artist. Been calling it all summer
I thought we all agreed that we would never mention the Vidal thread again. That saga aged me by at least 5 years.
How did agents rise to so much power? Club wants player, player wants club, but sticking point is agents fee. What does the player think if a move breaks down
I'd imagine the player would step in and fire his agent (or at least threaten to) if that was a possibility. If you genuinely want a move, you don't let the greed of an agent make things go sideways.
If the agent fee is indeed the only obstacle here, why on earth is Sancho allowing his agent to ruin his dream move? It doesn’t add up. I would fire that leech immediately if I was in Sancho’s boots.
Yeah I’m not saying we won’t get him, just saying that I’ve been calling Romano a bullshitter all summer and glad the club are calling him out (if that’s the case)
Yeh for a post complaining about fake news it was full of fake news.
No and no.
