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.
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.

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.

He better be worth it seeing how caf drools over the thought of signing him.

Utd need to screw dortmund for every penny off on this transfer. We got other positions to fill as well.

No idea how it works but could they not just say would you take x? Then stick the official bid in
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.

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.
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!

That’s the ticket... keep the positivity going... I’m almost as excited as I was last summer!

So we’ve gone in at 70m euros, that’s just over 60m quid. Which is only £8m more than we paid for Fred and £20m less than we paid for Harry Maguire.

Go on reds, take ‘em to the cleaners.

Why put a bid in before agreeing a price?
They've obviously had negotiations and thought they'd try their luck and test their resolve. I'd imagine there is an element of pressure when official bids get rejected. There will be pressure on both sides to get the deal done, Dortmund have had a guaranteed fee now offered in a year that they need money.

Chances this gets agreed pending a medical before Sunday then?
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.

If we sign sancho for around 80/90mil, how much more do we have to spend on a CB and a DM? We need at least all 3 of them to be first team starters to take us to the next level. I personally can only see us signing 1 more player after sancho and I think that might be a CB, Solskjær will be happy with Mcfred in midfield again for another year.

Almost all of the assists to Haaland, could help us if he's still available next summer

Really? We know they want plus +90m but we just throw a bid 20m less than what they want? Feels really stupid for me.

I hope we won't drag the summer trying to price down then end up paying it fully by early Aug.

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?

60£ Million is probably the right amount to bid initially as that is direct money going to Dortmund then if you want to tack on bonuses to make the figures closer to what they want. The negotiations will start at that 60£ Million mark and you figure a deal will probably get done somewhere between 70£ Million and 75£ Million.

i think the sticking point will be what type of fee will his agent want and will that fee be a separate amount from the fee asked by Dortmund along with the bonuses??

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”

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.

If we move DDG on though then I don't see any reason we can't offer him 300k a week - if he wants move then fair play to him, he can get that at the oil clubs. I have faith that Greenwood will come through and give us the goals we need with Rashford, Sancho and Fernandes chipping in.

German media saying they rejected the first offer of 70 million euros makes Dortmund look tough when they accept something between 80-90 million euros.

No doubt about it this is getting done.

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
Well England is managed by Southgate, who is bang average and completely wasting the attacking potential available...

Agree with all of them apart from Sterling. If Southgate picks him (on form), he's an idiot.

Which we knew.

When Kane goes, it'll be an all United front line (Marcus, Sancho, Mason "MSM")

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.

There's no chance he's fifth choice for england as he's the only player listed that can actually play on the right hand side and if Southgate starts Foden on the right over Sancho he's fcking dumber than we all give him credit for after this whole 3 OB's might start debacle in a back 3

Why should he start when he has never done it for England?

You think Sancho will be invested for yet another season?

He shouldn't be starting just like TAA shouldn't be starting. England are totally stacked in his position, Southgate (rightly) always picks either Rashford or Sterling for their pace and then there's the fact he's done nothing in an England shirt like TAA.

People put too much weight on international performances anyway. Aguero has been unremarkable for Argentina and Trent for England. Does this mean they're bad players?

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).

Looking at his improved mentality over the last months I could really see him bouncing back strong from that to prove himself even more, but in the first case I think it could be a difficult season ahead.
