Incorrectly predicted the de Jong transfer 2022
Pretty much confirms my nonsense, no? Around 20M apart (90-70) and bonuses need to be agreed, too.
Confirms thats the line being peddled in Germany, yeah...

Sancho isn't likely to start, with Rashford and Sterling almost definitely starting and maybe Grealish and Foden possibly ahead of him in the pecking order.If Sancho has an excellent Euro's then the price will suddenly go up.. If he doesn't then the price will stay the same as what Dortmund are currently asking.. which is less than last year.. The only thing in our favour at the moment is that a bidding war hasn't started which Dortmund thought would happen last year but are hoping happens this year.
We’re merely hours away. Around 56 hours I’d say, maybe a few more, perhaps 69.

And that is good, dont want him injured
Until we actually get something on the table, both parties can say whatever they like. I imagine that there is a sequence most clubs follow. Discussions to get the ballpark figure. A bid and then follow up bids before the selling club say yes or the buying club walk away.No idea how it works but could they not just say would you take x? Then stick the official bid in
It sounds like we’ve had discussions and got a ballpark figure. If we put in a bid at the price they are asking we would be idiots. We should be able to meet in the middle or walk away because Dortmund are being ridiculous in their valuations.
Chances this gets agreed pending a medical before Sunday then?
That’s the ticket... keep the positivity going... I’m almost as excited as I was last summer!I think 75-80m up front is a reasonable valuation. Sancho is just 21. He can play on right, left, middle and yet stack up crazy G/A numbers. Plus the player wants to play for united as his first preference.
Players like him and Bruno are the difference between winning or losing the titles.
Why put a bid in before agreeing a price?
I know every football fan probably thinks their own club is slow at transfers. But everyone knows how slow our club is with transfers. If we can drag it out, we will drag it out.Chances this gets agreed pending a medical before Sunday then?
Almost all of the assists to Haaland, could help us if he's still available next summer

That's what i'm thinking. If you're Haaland and you see Sancho and Fernandes in a team to assist you, how can you refuse?
I think as you say Raiola will want the biggest contract in football outside of Messi/Ronaldo figures. He's absolutely class and scores by the bucketload so he won't come cheap that's for sure.We are swimming with sharks if we go in for Haaland. I just don’t have any faith in the club to not mess it up and leave it for a more aggressively run outfit to take him. Plus do we really want mino. If Pogba signs again then maybe….I don’t think Ole and Sancho harm our chances at all as long as we have a solid challenge next year we will be as attractive as anyone else. It’s just the wages. He’s probably going to want the biggest wages in the league and whatever crazy figure mino pulls out of his arse as a signing “bonus”

Well England is managed by Southgate, who is bang average and completely wasting the attacking potential available...So he is one of the worlds top targets, and fifth choice for England? If England doesn’t win the Euros now I don’t know what to believe
Agree with all of them apart from Sterling. If Southgate picks him (on form), he's an idiot.Sancho isn't likely to start, with Rashford and Sterling almost definitely starting and maybe Grealish and Foden possibly ahead of him in the pecking order.
Not disagreeing with you on anything you wrote there. He should really be starting but Southgate has his favourites and will reward Rashford and Sterling for helping him to qualify in the first place.So he is one of the worlds top targets, and fifth choice for England?

Why should he start when he has never done it for England?Not disagreeing with you on anything you wrote there. He should really be starting but Southgate has his favourites and will reward Rashford and Sterling for helping him to qualify in the first place.
You think Sancho will be invested for yet another season?I am always astonished when I read things like this. It seems that most of the United-fans have not realized that Dortmund is not willing to sell Sancho - they will be glad when he stays another year.
It is exactly the same situation than last year: There is a gentlemen agreement with Sancho and agent, that he can be transfered if there is a club which will pay exactly the transferfee Dortmund expects and this up to a deadline Sancho knows.
So there are not really negotiations between the clubs - may be about payment conditions (rates): If Sancho wants to go, he (or his agent) has to bring a club who will pay the expected money up the deadline!
This was the story last year and it is the same this year - and no one in Dortmund will be sad, when Sancho stays another year.
Perhaps you can explain what in this behaviour of Dortmund is ridiculous in their valuations - their hope is that there is no club paying that money!

Difficult question, will depend a lot on what goes on behind the scenes of the (then failed) transfer I think. He could either be disappointed in Dortmund not allowing him to go, or he could be disappointed in United not valuing him the same way he himself does (which is clear by the agreement on the transfer fee that United in that case would have failed to match).You think Sancho will be invested for yet another season?
