That does seem like some evidence a deal is in the works. Nevermind, that second Tweet seems to indicate otherwise. Not sure this one's happening.

I think it'll be a case of them wanting some more money and just the genuine complexity of doing deals in this brave new brexit means brexit world. It'll get done.

Was confident after listening to Vickery last night but then that stuff comes out from someone at his club which backs up what Shrager has been saying and feel worried we won't get this done again

I remember Dortmund also saying no negotiations with United for Sancho.

Standard rollercoaster once more. Would be good just to get it done without the drama.

What do you think will happen in the end

Well it's tough to know whether we GENUINELY want him or not, or whether our name was being used for negotiations.

I do think though with the player saying he wanted Man United, the fee seemed reasonable (although that's now been raised apparently) that we will sign him IF we truly want him.

I think it'll happen, but these things often take time. It was almost too random for it to not be true, a bit like Pellestri.

He fits our current transfer strategy perfectly. I think it'll happen, it's just being stirred up into a saga for sagas sake.

Yeah hopefully it turns out like Pallestri & Diallo in the end

I lowkey love the strategy lately. Whether the brexit shit forced it, but gathering young top-tier talent is droves is the way.

If it’s right that there are a number of representatives involved with the player then that’s where the noise is coming from - that’s a lot of people with motive for a deal to be done.

I’m quite sure we’ve looked at him. Equally, I don’t think this is anywhere near as progressed as is being made out.

Why does he need so many representatives?

We all love United
I think as usual United are communicating with his agents or people in his camp and not directly with the club? I assume once everything is sorted, we'll put in the agreed bid acceptable to his club and seal the deal. Probably legal paperwork are still being sorted at the moment

The ‘legal’ stuff has been mentioned a few times by journos etc

So we really can't just quietly complete a deal these days??? Even for an unknown (if highly talented) kid?! Must be a huge burden being Man United. What I'd give for a seamless, under the radar signing (without a VDS fortuitously positioned to help out).

No one knew we were signing Pellistri or Diallo until the day it happened.

Diallo and Pellistri were relatively straightforward.

Not entirely true, we'd been linked previously to both by a few sources, but no one really took too much interest.

Yeah there were some small, dubious links but no one would've actually predicted we'd sign them. Diallo had pretty much agreed his loan move to Parma but he then signed for us by the afternoon.

Oh yeah that's true. Sigh...I think I'm just exhausted with transfer drama. It's only 2 months since the last one ended. Thankfully it looks like elite football will survive any impending lockdown. I can't stand any more extended windows.

However the bureaucracy always slows things down. Diallo was negotiated months ago but the work permit was only finalised recently.

Thank god it wasn’t the Indian Civil Service, he’s be arriving here in time for his testimonial

Same old shit when we are linked to a player and the same quotes just keep being regurgitated.
Funny that it was quiet when we brought in VDB.

Yeah, there were reports that a lot of people are trying to get a slice of the pie. This lines up. I still have confidence he'll come.

Yeah hopefully we can get this done because looking at that game for Ecuador he is someone capable of breaking up play but also can distribute the ball to the attacking players well too

Yeah, he feels too much of an obvious position we need and we're in no rush to buy. He'll pick us over most teams, so I'm not concerned it's not happened immediately.
