It's funny. We have no issue paying Cavani's salary and signing Telles and VDB, but can't afford to meet Sancho's fees.
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

I'm still struggling to believe just how badly we've fecked around with this. I think as a fanbase we're going to be made to feel even worse about this deal in the future when the truth comes out about just how close this was at one point.
Good thing he's still coming today

Wait till he moves to another English club. That's when it'll really come to bite us. We had to strike while the iron was hot , and were able to. Hazard all over again.I'm still struggling to believe just how badly we've fecked around with this.

There's a Sarr for everybody.
This day seems still endless with regards to the Sancho drama though, i'll not be convinced of either outcome before a few hours after the end of the transfer window.
After yesterday’s thrashing, Anyone still aboard? This is the only hope I have left! Happy Sancho Day 
feck it. It's still happening.
The Football Association is investigating a report claiming Tammy Abraham, Ben Chilwell and Manchester United target Jadon Sancho attended a party in breach of coronavirus regulations.
We've contacted Borussia Dortmund and they have provided us with the following statement.
"We are in close contact with the English FA and representatives of the national team. We are aware that they are following COVID-19 protocols in line with UEFA. It would not be appropriate for us to add comment at this stage."
Asked about their thoughts on their highly paid employee partying while off sick, the reply was -“no further comment. Sorry.”

I'm inclined to agree. Over the past months a plethora of twitter accs, "sport journalists", pundits, newspapers and a gazillion youtube-channels have been peddling the same narrative: Sancho will be a guaranteed Utd player, no matter what others say, let alone the selling club. By declaring all signals from the potential seller as irrelevant from the get go, the road into the realm of delusion was paved.
It's also fascinating how the muppetry here echoed what probably the has been common sentiment among your board and the rest of the British media. "Selling club", "They always cave in the end", "Deadline? Rubbish.", "BDs set price? Irrelevant".
End of the day Ed was dreaming the dream together with you guys, following the same pre-conceived notions until reality finally kicked in.
Even though there was hope, it was so obvious this was going to happen. Dortmund were serious and we all knew that really.
Fixed
What's the difference between contact and close contact?
Wait for January.
Yep its dead. Absolutely depressing. Horror season incoming. Mark Goldbridge from the United Stand is still confident.
He's still a cnut as well
I read that as "fire" first time!
Yep. Can't understand for the life of me why he thinks it will still happen. It's dead
Christ, it never ends. Months of this from people now.
For a club as talkative as them that is surprising.
Oh comeon he's a nice lad. I prefer him to the top reds at Stretford paddock. My favourite though is the guy at UnitedPeopleTV
He bloody isn't
he's a broken man just like the rest of us. He wants to believe, but he clearly doesn't really, not anymore.I just think he's like our version of AFTV. Over the top reactions and getting his views and profits from the clubs demise
tbh even he sounds resigned to the fact already
The Muppetiers said it was done though...?
Ed's plan all along. Get Sancho to break some rules so that he gets fired and we pick him up for free.
Now watch us frantically try to sign a right winger. Desperation levels at it's highest. Who we get is anyone's guess but have a bad feeling it will be Ousamene Dembele.
See you in January lads, only 3 months away so not that long.
He's just a fan that gives a fan opinion. He is not ITK nor does he have info from ITK to give him that level of confidence. It's just an opinion. Like all our opinions, it means nothing factually.
"Ed, is that honestly what you think a fire sale is?"
I think Jay and Adam are fine, but man Howson is annoying as feck. Rarely seen a guy who loves to listen to his own voice as much as him.
Finally the day we've been waiting for. Time to welcome our new RW. Happy Fellainstri day!!!
Ed doesn't take no for answer.. By the way I was being sarcastic. Utd have been a embarrassment this window
We won’t address the RW option at all. Another window where the powers that be miss out on the managers top target and settle for 3/4 options. It’s like LvGs second and Jose third summer transfer window all over.
Yep. Considering our valuation and Dortmund's didnt match my around 20M or so, lets not forget we paid 10M agent fee for Cavani, and the other 10M could have been easily recouped if we had managed to sell the likes of Lingard, Rojo, Romero and Jones, like a well run club.
Which we are not. That's why we couldnt get Sancho, not because it was too expensive. Our negotiation/transfer team is absolutely INEPT.
Totally agree. Told the date and the price.. We are a joke. Ed is a clown at transfer dealing. I wonder if he was given a price and date to buy a house would he rock up 2months later at the front door and offer the new owners three quarters of price they paid.. Probably would.
Well played
Who the feck knows
Given there is half a day left, it is apparently over.
Ed will offer them the money half an our before the window shuts knowing full well we won't have time to finalise the deal.
Dembele saga just died, hes not coming. I guess weve given up on the RW and its just telles and cavani?
