Is this on Netflix or Prime?Sounds like the opening scene of a David lynch film.
HERE WE feckING GO
Stop Boeing a d*ck.I think it flew over a few peoples heads in fairness.
Reminds me of this
Have you seen The Social Dilemma on Netflix?It is symptomatic of modern football fans wanting to have unrelenting access to a football club via social media and thinking 18 seconds without information or update that our club is a complete shambles. Unbeknownst to most, their fervent and feverish whining drives bad actors to chime in with random, unsubstantiated claims on twitter, like that we actually forgot to charge our single company blackberry and cannot confirm the transfer until we find a plug socket, this drives clicks and "engagement" whirlpools of sh!te we all get washed away with.
Unless he hands in an official transfer request I don’t think they’d say anything different.Tweet

Price will not change is not the same, and much better than, not for sale at any priceTweet

Fab seems to think he's for sale as long as we hit that magic 120m Euro number. He's been consistent with that.Tweet

Their message seems to flit between “no way he’s for sale at any price now” and “the price has not changed”.Tweet

Not having a go, but its amazing how other than getting him for less that 120m we’ve screwed the pooch? I mean there always two parties at a negotiation table. Could it be possible that Dortmund themselves have muddied the water for Utd? By not dealing directly with us and rather through these intermediaries.There are 4 possibilities now :
- Utd buy Sancho for less than 120M : This is good. Woody and co, should be congratulated for bringing the price down, even if it took some time.
- Utd buy Sancho for 120M or above : Absolutely stupid. Why waste the whole summer when you could have bought him a long time ago, and let him integrate with the squad? The 3 points lost on the first game of the season could make or break the season at the end.
- United dont buy Sancho, but buy an alternative : Not good. You chase a player the whole summer, not get him, and then go for a plan B probably as a panic buy. Its not ideal, but not the end of the world. Sancho probably goes to Liverpool or another top club next summer and United continue their steady decline.
- Utd dont buy anyone : This would be tragic. Woody should be sacked if this happens.
How credible is the Norweigan journo?@Adnan we need a title update. “Sancho pushes for move while RedCafe pushes bowel movements”
Tell that to the army of fans asking him for an update every minute of every dayAlright we get it lad. Shut up now.
There was a tweet earlier saying we’re willing to go to £100m max which equates to €110m. I think if we offer that as well as Sancho kicking up a fuss it may be enough to see this over the line.Tweet

No. And it's not even true in england either. Transfer requests are usually done for the benefit of the selling club. No agent worth his salt would let his client agree to thatDortmund would make a big saving by not having to pay his loyalty fee if Sancho handed in a transfer request wouldn't they? Maybe Dortmund's game is to force Sancho into this, also makes him look like the bad guy too.
Not enough to change the title.How credible is the Norweigan journo?
I haven't but I recently read two Jarod Lanier books (10 arguments to delete your social media & you are not a gadget) and Shoshana Zuboff's The Age of Surveillance Capitalism. Both fantastic on this subject, hence I have deleted my twitter and instagram.Have you seen The Social Dilemma on Netflix?
some of these tik tok kids don’t even know there is an alternative existence and that they are totally dependent on the matrix.
The thing is. If we’re willing to go to £100m why not the extra £8m?There was a tweet earlier saying we’re willing to go to £100m max which equates to €110m. I think if we offer that as well as Sancho kicking up a fuss it may be enough to see this over the line.
The best current affairs piss take programme ever. Gave rise to Alan PartridgeReminds me of this
What I was thinking. We need something more concrete.Not enough to change the title.
The only flurry of briefs will be of those belonging to muppets, freshly laundered and hanging on the washing line, to be ready to do it all again tomorrow.I wonder if we will get a flurry of briefs in the evening again, once details of another day of talks release.
Although I have a feeling we wont make a second bid before tomorrow for some reason.
Quite. He elaborated on his sources in a Norwegian podcast a few days ago. He was clear that he has a few sources directly involved with Manchester United, but that Ole is not one of them. He also made it clear that he has no connections in Germany, so any news on his part are from us (or completely made up, I guess, but never from Dortmund).How credible is the Norweigan journo?

It's a pretty commonly used expression to be fair
Interesting..Quite. He elaborated on his sources in a Norwegian podcast a few days ago.

He also made it clear that he has no connections in Germany, so any news on his part are from us (or completely made up, I guess, but never from Dortmund).
The only reason I can think of is to spare some cash for another signing, Alex Telles by the looks of it. Supposedly we’ve offered Porto £10m and are reluctant to go any higher, that’s where that extra £8m is going imo.The thing is. If we’re willing to go to £100m why not the extra £8m?
I know it’s a huge sum of money but surely if you’re even entertaining £100m you have to be sure that your finances are in good enough order that you don’t have only £8m leeway?
He said they don't have transfer requests. Which I guess mean an actual system of a document you can turn in to help force a transfer. Pretty sure you can still "hand in a transfer request" by saying you would want to go, and possibly at the same time say you are willing to forfeit certain things owed from your contract to make it happen.Could be remembering this wrong, but didn’t one of the German posters in here say that loyalty bonuses aren’t a thing over there like they are here in the prem?
