Makes you wonder when this thread ended up at the second page today. I think we have cooled our interest.

Very very close?! For real this is getting closer!
Wow the same update as 3 days ago. That’s Fab.
Bless him.
fab is waiting for the next Rashford tweet, he hasn’t had connections like that for a long time
Is he dying or something?
Yes x.

So it’s still nearly nearly happened but not happened? I’d rather no news til he’s holding up the shirt cause it’s just getting annoying now.
This is done pending a medical. And it's a deal many thought we couldn't do.
This starting to feel more and more like the infamous Achilles & the tortoise paradox.
Yeah seems so mate, top signing, going to add loads of much needed creativity to the team, and will likely be here for many years.
do we compare the tweet from yesterday that he posted about Sancho which in essence said the same thing??? This transfer saga might actually be bigger than Wesley Sneijder
I heard it just got a little bit closer not sure if anyone else can confirm that yet
Closer than very very close?
Every day that England remains in the Euros brings us closer to signing Sancho, but in infinite increments.

Twice the player that Dembele is without injuries and he'll likely cost us 30m less
I'm sort of getting tired of all these updates saying the same thing that was said last week.
Don't say anything, if someone asks just say as you were or no update,
Makes it sound like it 2 weeks of constant talking just to agree about the payment structure.
Are they faxing or emailing 1 word at a time?

Preparing a bid
Surprised Greenwood doesn't have more than 25 already.

Fabrizio is especially guilty of this lately.
The Hakimi updates as well are bordering on the nauseating to read, it's the same post except even more close and superclose but now so so so close.
Does anybody really expect anything to happen as long as he is still involved in the Euros? It's all journo clickbait to keep their Twitter accounts at the top of the activity lists. As soon as we win the Euros, it's 
time.
time.The graphic is a bit dated since Sancho hasn't been a teen for a year and a half now so it was before Greenwood became a fixture of the senior squad.
He has to be around 40 G+A's as a teen right now
Is Rashford a reliable source?
the graphic changes again if you change the classification of “teenager” to everyone under the age of 35.
Greenwood has 41 G+A as a teenager.
Really really very close
Pretty sure it's in the league only before their 20th birthday, not counting cups or European comps. Greenwood is at 17 goals and 3 assists and has until October until he turns 20.
If we're counting all competitions, Sancho has more goals and assists before 21st birthday than Rooney or Owen did.
The graph is wrong anyway - Sancho had 65 league goals or assists before his 20th birthday.

Greenwood would be right up there with Sancho and Mbappe if he played on a more regular basis as he's much more a clinical finisher than either one of them
Being a more clinical finisher doesn't mean he gets himself into better goalscoring positions, makes better goalscoring chances for himself or creates better chances for others though. Greenwood is quality but he hasn't been as good as they were as teenagers.
Football doesnt work like this really and I doubt he is, they are very good and calm finishers.
Greenwood isn't great off the bal as they are and they can more easily create their own chances (Greenwood is very good at this 1 v 1 as well though).
With that price tag, there will be a lot of expectations of him. Can not believe he is on bench for England. Surely, he is a much better player than Saka. Regardless, great acquisition and will take us to the next level like Bruno and Pogba did.
That graph is all wrong anyway. Looking at all goals and assists in the league before their 20th birthday, using transfermarkt, you get:
As a bonus... Owen had 56, Rooney had 39, Messi had 25.
Sancho has blown them all (apart from Mbappe) out of the water with his stats before his 20th birthday.
Edit: fecked up Mbappe's stat. He's top by 1. Looking at it though, Sancho probably would have surpassed him if covid didn't stop everything. His birthday was on March 25th and his last game was March 7th. Had 18 days to get 1 goal or assist, and in the 23 league games he played prior to covid that season, Sancho had 14 goals and 16 assists.
Even if you include Haalands stats in the Norwegian league and Austrian league along with his half season in the Bundesliga before his 20th birthday, he's at 58. Pretty incredible from Sancho's point of view.
- Mbappe - 66 goals or assists
- Sancho - 65 goals or assists
- Havertz - 43 goals or assists
- Dembele - 35 goals or assists
- Gotze - 32 goals or assists
- Sterling - 31 goals or assists

It is literally never ever any different.
When will people stop paying attention to these lot.
There has been zero communication from either club. Until then nothing is set in stone. Everything you read is based on guesswork and/or clickbait tabloid journalism.
How is this faster though?
caf: Give us an update!
Fab: It's close, they just need to sort out add-ons and structure.
BVB and MU proceed to sort that out without any rush.
caf: Give us an update!
Fab: Well, they've sorted some things and there are little details left to be sorted.
caf: Same thing you said a while back. You're no good journalist
I was watching the weather chanel this morning. They forecast a big day today
