It is quite strange how quiet the Dortmund chatterbox Zorc has been thus far. Very very suspicious.
Are you implying Big Ed damaged his voice box in negotiations by either punching him directly in the throat or clotheslining him like a professional wrestler? Not sure I agree with you.

This will happen clean and soon before euros or it wont happen at all. Every year i hate these sagas more and more and im not checking any news about transfer until next season starts. Feck all the journos making paychecks over making up stuff i hope they all fall into a big pile of cow turd with their mouths open

Has the "United are preparing a bid..." line come out yet?? Like how can you prepare a bid ffs. That's probably the single most irritating statement in the whole of football. Period!

Thankfully England are somehow shite so it should be done in just a few weeks.
Actually i think we'll do quite well this time. We're a little mediocre at goalkeeper and depth is weak at CB but other than that we've got reasonable depth and quality. We're actually pretty fortunate in terms of forwards right now as well. Players like Sancho, Foden, Grealish and Rashford arent even automatic starters.

More shite;
How many times can the same lines be regurgitated?
Utter garbage
Yeah surely everyone knows we are trying to get this done. Restarted suggests it's at the beginning phase. Doesn't seem very newsworthy

I now think that he will be our player for next season. Since Rashford probably has to do some surgery on his injuries, it makes sense for us to push the transfer as we will need more numbers up front.

I don't care too much with when we sign him though as long as we can get the lowest fee possible.

Yes ASM would the smarter choice wouldn't it mate.
You're pretty tedious, all you do is big up Sancho and belittle anyone else who shows any hint of skeptism. Look at all the £80m+ signings post Bale, very few have been value for money, or even good singings. Dembele, Hazard, Coutinho, Lukaku (for us), go down a bit to Di Maria, hell even Pogba has been hit and miss.. it's not as simple as 'see shiny toy and spend entire warchest on it'.

If we sign him I guess we'll soon enough see if he's worth 90m or not.

Those fees for Ronnie, Bale and even Suarez were high because they were getting the best player in the toughest comp in the world and I was surprised that Hazard flopped but injuries were a factor with him but to have three out of four succeed is a pretty good statistic;
There is no doubt that Sancho is one of the premier talents in the Bundesliga but anyone who thinks he can transfer those stats to the Premier League would be highly optimistic and you only have to witness a club game to see how much space players are afforded to realize that.
I welcome the signing of Sancho but it is a risk with the reported price but if he fulfills his potential he would be worth the 80mil I should imagine.

It was just a light hearted remark because you like ASM hence the use of the friendly 'mate' word, not something to get rattled about :(

You won't see "United are preparing a bid" while we are still "Monitoring the situation".

Hard to be monitoring the situation or preparing a bid when we're already negotiating with Dortmund to sign him.

Final Sunday where Sancho is a Dortmund player? You best believe it.

It's certainly up there. Probably second only to people using "period" at the end of a statement.

We all love United
I wonder are we still using intermediaries or directly communicating with the Dortmund people now? If it’s the latter, it’ll be a whole lot faster

This time it's directly with BVB

We need an attacking RB if we buy Snacho. Sancho-AWB won't work.

Happy Sancho Day pal! :)

tonight is the night we all have been waiting for. Rerecord deal, new number 7? Jadon Sancho will be immense for us going forward. United have to do it before the Euros or it's going to suck with a lot of rumors 'blah blah blah' ale Paul #Pogback unveiling style. Which sucked the life out of me.

How long do we think it will be before we’re all complaining that we are playing him on the left, moaning that Rashford isn’t playing well enough on the right and it should be Greenwood starting on the right if Sancho is playing his best football from the left?

I personally think it’s in united and Dortmund’s best interest to keep the deal under wraps once agreed for a while. United get maximum exposure of announcing him after the Euros with a big song and dance.

Dortmund go out and find a replacement without people knowing they have 80 million in their pocket. Wouldn’t shock me if something is agreed in private ahead of post euros, but I’d rather be wrong and know ASAP. :lol:

I was thinking the same, especially if Rashford's post Euro's surgery rules him out of the start of the season as in that scenario you would imagine Sancho would start the season on the left :lol:
