Bale in talks with Spurs after he was touted as a possible alternative. Regulion too if off to Spurs so that frees up money if we had allocated funds to that and the public perception again has fallen unfavourably on the club, even though on this occasion we were right not to accept that buyback.
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

Woodward is definitely going to be getting a bad headache tonight thats for sure!
Bale = No go, back off to Spurs on incredible wages i bet to occupy a spot on the injury bench
Grealish = Signed a new 5 year deal, no go.
Costa = Bad injury record, even United are unsure whether it's worth the risk
Perisic = Maybe? Could be worth a punt, but has that boat already sailed?
Brooks = Has potential, but he's not going to take us to new heights the same way Sancho can
Unless we have someone else lined up, it's looking like Sancho or no one, this could force Woodys hand to actually cough up the money
Nice try, Glazer
Reguilon and Bale both talking to Spurs.
In short, United are ruled out of signing either Bale or Reguilon.

Exactly, they have nothing else to hide behind. If results then start to go against us I think even the pundits (United boys especially) will quickly point to the lack of Old backing and point the finger at the board. They'll make a statement signing just to appease the fans.
I also have a strange feeling we won't do well in our first game. Which will also only force the issue.
This is going right down the wire it seems

Dortmund replacement was supposedly Ikone (not Ikoke as spelled there). I was banging on about him donkeys ago, that isn't new information.

Have you missed the part we are brining in loads of youth players from across Europe and even poaching them from Barcelona?
See Jadon, that wasn’t too hard. Now go tell Zorc the same.
Choo choo
Better yet - make him flirt with Bayern instead.
Why would Dortmund do that? They'd have a week to find a replacement.
“Solskjaer is a little bit conscious”
Jesus... has it forced Solskjaer to hit the bottle or something? He’s been following this thread hasn’t he?
Yeah I am very much on board with overpaying for him which I know probably sounds crazy but it's desperate times
How would these feckers know this? Are they part of their WhatsApp group?
On your info is the deal still likely?
Suuuuure
Yeah, but they are not the ready-made next Ronaldo that is ready to break through next season that nobody but only our good scouts have heard of now are they?
We need first team players now, not in 3-4 years!
If you read the rest of that report it says they are in for Ikone from Lille who is available for 45m. So basically they take from the money and go get him and pocket the rest.
This is how Journalism works apparently
WhatsApp? Bro, its carrier pigeons.
Reckon his CB is Upamecano but whether we can get him ahead of Bayern next summer is another thing
Wow... that truly has to be the worst negotiating tactic of all time.
Just leave it till the last minute, get told to get fecked then pay up anyway or go on a mad hunt for a second rate player just to say we got someone.
Jesus Christ, what a stupid fecking strategy.

Reguilon mark 2?
The last information I was sent was that the deal was once again in place pending Dortmund arrival (Ikone or otherwise). That's obviously not come to pass for reasons unknown.
Beating a dead horse at this point.
Annoying as feck this.
Does anyone know if any of that can be at all reliable?! I was close to exiting the train just then when I see someone asking for us to contribute to a Gofundme. This has just got me hooked again!
All aboard.
The difference here is that we reached out to Sancho's agents to get this going. With Reguilon, his agents approached us and tried to get us to buy the player from Real Madrid.
Take Ian McGarry's reports with grain of salt. When I saw him mention Ikone, I instantly became skeptical; Ikone's agent mentioned a few months back that Dortmund haven't even gotten in touch with him for the player.
We better have a backup plan if it falls through in the end and fall flat on our faces. Which means we can just sign the bloke from Lille whom BVB wants as the replacement
Oh,it's Ian McGarry. Dont take this seriously,guys (not that you are.)
What an absolute load of tripe
These feckers are fecking with United fans about.
