it’s clear from posts in here, that most people don’t have a clue…
Which is a fairly obvious truth when you think about it.
OK, confession time, I had lost interest in this transfer and felt that he was good but not that good. Watching this I am back to frothing muppet.
But the end of the Euros is weeks away, feck that. The end of the week. This week.This working week.
Ah, tweets from actual journalists and not Fraudizio. How refreshing
Totally agree. Imagine he has a great Euros and Dortmund decide he's worth more. Why is the board so casual about transfers, especially a major one like Sancho? Not as if they have a brilliant track-record...
"Everything agreed except the fee."
That means the square root of feck all.

Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed
Ya definitely has nothing to do with an English player wanting to play in his home country and the best league in the world or anything
And none (or at least few) idiotic kids in the comments repeating the same irrelevant tripe after every update, "Arsenal news?" "They're sh*t". "Pionel Pessi is a fraud", etc., etc. I dunno how Fabrizio puts up with it. Still, suppose he knows they are his majority demographic...
he went to Dortmund as a stepping stone, get games and experience and then go to a big club that was the plan. The same for Haaland and Bellingham. None of them want to stay long term.
I think we will definitely sign him and I think the fact we are moving already suggests we want it finalised now, not in a months time.
Yeah to be honest if we sent a bid in already I’ll be surprised if it goes in to next week.
Oh brilliant - everything agreed apart from the fee. Some would argue - that the fee is fairly important, but as long as everything else is agreed
The club obviously want him, just get it done. As always only time will tell how good (or not) he’d be.
Dortmund, Uniteds more efficiently run feeder club?
Haaland next year? Bellingham in 23? Fairly unimaginative but they’ve almost totally cornered the market…. We need to start playing the likes of Amad and Hannibal on the regular or the highest quality youth will keep choosing Dortmund over us for game time. We can’t afford 100 million every time a player slips through and has a few good seasons there. I doubt it’s sustainable.

We'll agree terms but probably won't finalise until after the EURO's in case he get injured.
Hé doesn’t even start for England? I doubt that’s a concern surely. We can still agree a fee with Dortmund, pending a medical.
That's fair I feel
If a fee is agreed before the end of the euros that it's the most likely course of events.
Probably more likely so that we don't have to pay his wages earlier just for him to play for England. Probably a big reason why clubs don't start signing big name players until the seasons about to start
According to a few people here, the fee is the simple bit. We just pay what is being asked and move on to the next transfer target. We shouldn't waste too much time & effort on such minor details.Oh brilliant - everything agreed apart from the fee.

Yeah. Last month, I was at this Ferrari dealership. We agreed on everything: color, engine , upholstery (many options there, believe it or not!). We seem to have a slight disagreement on price. I made an offer, they still appear to be evaluating it.Oh brilliant - everything agreed apart from the fee.

I don't understand? How hard cant it be to buy a Ferrari? Just pay the guy!
I can imagine that, but its not close to what could actually happen.
Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.. 
The floor has been set on what Dortmund want for him. If he has a blistering Euro's you can bet other clubs will be heavily interested and start throwing money around.The price has been set, it's not going to go up and down based on how he plays over the next 4 weeks.
Based on that logic i'd be tempted to wait then and take a chance he has a stinker then we can drop our price knowing full well they have to accept based on his Euro performances.
There's nothing he can do at the Euros that would make clubs who clearly haven't shown much interest suddenly start throwing dumb money around, especially right now. Seems like panicking for panicking sakes to me.
Will he be our 3rd Dortmund signing?
Hope he is better than the last two players we got from them.I found Kagawa a bit of a mixed bag signing. Hard to say if he would have got better if Fergie was still in charge.

This will be done and confirmed on Sunday. After England play
"Everything agreed except the fee with Dortmund". What else could we have agreed on with Dortmund if not the fee? like agreeing to buy a car to put it in the garage. The price? who gives a feck.
Genuine question but when has this ever happened before?
Everything agreed = player and agent terms.
Everything not agreed = the fee with Dortmund.
You see players come out of sort of nowhere at a tournament and suddenly clubs are after them, Arshavin for example after 2008, but Sancho is more than known at this point.
You‘re not wrong! Anto has got to have a storming season next year, or risks falling into obscurity, especially if we are in for a ST next season.
I'm not panicking but it doesn't make sense to leave the door ajar when we almost have the player.
I'm not saying this will happen but how many times have we seen major clubs shift their transfer target off the back of a brilliant tournament? Sure, Madrid want Mbappe or Salah. Barcelona are skint, Chelsea are chasing Haaland, PSG want other positions etc. But if Sancho does light up the Euro's, which I personally don't think he will, you can bet a couple of those clubs change their priorities this summer or find money by fire selling some players to make room for the best player at the Euros.
It's best for all parties involved that this gets done this weekend.
I remember when we signed Hernandez about a week before the World Cup and he bagged a bunch of goals for Mexico. We probably saved ourselves about £15m by getting it done before the World Cup.
Thank you Sam Pilger
I think much higher.
Rio Ferdinand - United
Diouf - Liverpool
Kanchelskis - United
Gyan - Sunderland
Rodriguez - Madrid
Just a few I can think of off the top of my head, there's probably a couple more who've moved post tournament after playing well.
