Ya that's totally fair if that's their valuation. Up to us whether to match or walk away. For me the irritation is with how people associated with Dortmund are not keeping it business matter and going about giving comments, being petty and so on. Nobody is telling them that they don't have right to value Sancho at 120M. As a buying club, United will try to negotiate. That's standard practice when deal is so huge.
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

I am just hoping he does a VDB and asks to be left out of the squad on Monday night
How many pages was the Pogba thread? 1050?
This will be a walk in the park.
This will be a walk in the park.
Yeh which sucks. If Bruno had come In a week earlier we would have had him for the Burnley game and might not have lost it.
OK, I am in. Any specific time or should I keep the flag flying high whole night?
Being hated for winning and lifting trophies is not the same as being hated for being arrogant on forums about potential transfers
Been mentioned that he's likely left out no matter due to just doing internationals and the cup opposition is a minnows team.
Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads....
I think you mean Pants
Maybe just get some stretchy bottoms on and just helicopter.
not anymore pal. Hence why agents were on the nose so much when they emerged, because they are beyond authorities‘ control, in that they can’t be restricted or punished or often, even detected making approaches, touting their client to other clubs. They are at liberty to stir the pot and sound buying clubs out before the existing (selling) club even gets wind of it. It’s only when some feasibility on the player’s behalf is established that the “selling” club gets wind of it and ultimately realises it has already been discussed between buyer and player’s agent. You really think Real haven’t already had discussions re: Pogba with his agent without United’s blessing? Thats the whole point and what gets aggressive agents like Raiola their lovable image. We all know what goes on but just can’t prove it without going into drawn out legalities.
fixed for you
well played.Obviously hoping that it has progressed a bit by then but expect it to go quiet again for a bit now. I would like to believe that Norwegian journo is right about Ole wanting him in place by Palace though
@golden_blunder hope you've your ban hammer ready...
Interns can do no wrong!I had a good feeling about that intern
Pogba had his "I'm back" clip, Sanchez played the piano, I wonder how we announce Sancho. Should be something special for such a huge transfer, both in terms of fee and player's profile.
Hillary Clinton disagrees with this comment.
Undue arrogance is the hallmark of supporters of big football clubs though. It's going to take at least another decade of United not winning a major title for any modesty to creep into the majority of the fanbase.
nothing big and cheesy please, those transfers never seem to work for us
Huh? You have a mate?!
Just a quick point of order... The reason they are close to entering the top 10 of clubs in revenue IS NOT because of commercial revenues, but rather sales of players. Real, Man Utd, Barca are commercial juggernauts that do not have to rely on player sales to make ends meet. Dortmund, on the other hand, sold Dembele for a cool 140m and Aubameyang for 65m, sold off Weigl, Yarmalenko, Pulisic... All of these positive transactions flow to the bottom line. In the meantime, they paid not insignificant transfer fees and high wages for players like Hummels, Brandt, Witsel, Delaney, etc. They've only sold 5m worth of players this summer and have outlays of 50m+
I agree that to go back on their word now would be a huge blow to the fan base. It is certainly plausible that they will end up saying no to Utd. But at some point, they will need to sell some assets to balance the books. COVID hit them worse than other top 10 clubs for sure due to the lack of match day revenue.
...who is also his lover. But no time for that now.
The latter precedes the former!
Yeh - it's weird because this will be talked about as a summer long saga but it's actually incredibly straighforward despite so many different reports of which 99% are fake (loads claiming there was no issue with player terms and then recently that's been the big issue, just to keep the story alive).
United want Sancho and Dortmund are open to selling him. These are facts. United simply won't match the fee and that's pretty much all there is to it. Most people predict we'll Woody 101 then and just offer it last minute but actually there haven't really been any twists and turns, we're just not paying up.
Well, perhaps nothing as elaborate as a grand piano - a triangle, perhaps?nothing big and cheesy please, those transfers never seem to work for us
Don't.
Personally I'd just prefer the club to announce the lad, give him the #7 and get on with it. Transfer announcements have gotten so cringey, and we've definitely been front and centre of that in recent years. So much happier that our announcements are a little more subdued, and let's face it, it's not really the kind of year you want to shout loud about how you sp*nked away 120million Euros on the transfer of a footballer.
So are you not very confident then
Picture this:
First yellow flashing warning signs.
You see the silhouette of a player coming to a stop.
The light turns red.
The player's mouth is shown and his expression changes to a smirk. A subliminal message flash saying look "dort" at that "mund".
Player runs through the red light while the camera focus shifts to his feet and you see that he s stomping on a pitch made not of grass, but of sauerkrautt.
Player comes to a stop and sees a yellow wall.
Player bashes through said wall and behind it is Olly whose arms he runs into for a loving embrace.
Meanwhile, the camera zooms out and a silhouette of Old Trafford is shown with a sign that says "Parks are for kids, theaters are where the dreams come to life".
Fade to black.
Display message with the United logo: here's your money.
I'm not talking Real Madrid introduction style(or Spanish style in general), but a short video similar to the ones I mentioned might be pretty coolnothing big and cheesy please, those transfers never seem to work for us
I'd rather follow Bruno's transfer precedent.. that turned out much better than these other two
All this thread was missing was an "in the know"...
Oh, he's been here for quite a while. Don't think any of his claims have been true before. But vague enough to be explained away later.
I'm impressed. Well done.
You actually think Utd will go through all this stress and groundwork for months and months and months just to walk away at the very last step involving payment? Utd have known the valuation for months and they know BVB won`t drop it of course they`ll pay and they have the financial capability to do so. Simply a case of the structure whether it will all be guaranteed or if it will have add ons
