Edit: got beaten to it 
Made me laugh anyway as I read it in Hodgson's voice
Whats encouraging now is we are hearing some more noise about shifting our deadwood.
Really getting down to the nitty gritty now.
All jokes aside, very big week coming up.
Who is he anyway?
This is 100% going to happen this week...he will sign before the close of the window. We've been on this Rodeo before and it will happen...just like Maguire. Dortmund have gone quiet....can't wait for our new No 7.
It is definitely SanchON

Has close ties to BVB and generally reliable with their news as per some BVB fans on twitter. Utd probably told Dortmund they`ll make an offer this week in advance maybe thats how he`s gotten the news
Have Dortmund signed a replacement? If not, it's not happening. They're not going into the market with £120 million.
You teaser! That’s it, i’ll believe the tweet
There was some reporter that said that this will probably drag untill the end. Hopefully hes right.
Hi Dortmund, just so you we'll be bidding 75 mil later this week. Cheers.
Got to save on that wage bill!
I’ve actually read a few reports now suggesting we are actually going to bid £85m+£25m and meet the asking price.
I wouldn't blame woody if that was the plan all along. Covid hit hard and i dont think it will be hard to integrate sancho if he comes. He had a preseason in dortmund so he has his game tempo up.
It’s on. It’s been a long old ride, but we’re nearing the end now.
Not for show FC!!
Sancho starts against Spurs confirmed

English right winger, plays for Dortmund.
How many times we have gotten that kind of so called brief or whatever during the past 2 months?
It is weird. If they were indeed briefs from United, I am not sure what they were exactly trying to achieve with those.

Is he any good?
They can’t be club briefs, surely? Because no competent club would consistently make such a rod for their own back, right?
What are we saying now then? Gearing up for the big finish I predicted.
Who is this Eckner guy all of a sudden?
@Adnan witty thread title update!
It’s so fecking on.
I’m getting Berbatov vibes off this transfer. That saga was long as feck, optimistic at times (interpreting Bulgarian news articles, speculating the tiniest of details) and a massive rollercoaster in the last 24 hours. From SAF saying we’re not signing anyone a few days before to Man City agreeing a fee on deadline day morning, massive muppet suicides, SAF intercepting Berbatov at the airport and all that shit. I was lurking this forum when that all happened too. For me after that transfer, it really was like anything could happen as long as the window is open.
My stance has been its possible rather than outwardly saying its going to happen. At least a year of tracking a player and we bail out over the payment structuring? Part of me is thinking we can pay what they are asking but are trying to haggle it down more favourably or we’re trying to generate more money from selling our existing players to ease the balance sheet because we’ve possibly caved in to their asking price, or we’re trying to obtain another player on top of Sancho (which looks the case with the LB search).
If it goes through, those faithful muppets who have preached that this will happen in the darkest of times should be rewarded in the muppet valhalla, and eternal damnation for those preaching dead in the water!

We are briefing so that Dortmund can "brace themselves" for a bid. Watch out for those articles coming soon - "Dortmund brace themselves for a bid for Jadon Sancho". We wouldn't want Dortmund to have a sense of shock when the bid comes in, plus the brief will remind them to check that their fax machine is in good working order.
Yup I’ve been saying that for months. Which is what gives me hope we are still serious about trying to get this done.
That's what I think. But, I am referring a few twitter posts from a couple of weeks ago coming from so called club sources.
I still believe that this will be done because we haven't been seriously linked with another RW and the board knows that this is role we desperately need to strengthen.
(Assuming the board is made up of rational individuals)

Better shore up our defence first.
I reckon if we bid then it will be tomorrow, time to see how serious Dortmund are about keeping him.
C’mon Ed make em an offer they can’t refuse, slap some serious Disney Dollars across their chops.

Someone who said we will be bidding for Thiago soon.
Don’t worry. Telles and Upemecano are coming too.
@Adnan told me he thinks it’s on. That was enough for me to buy my ticket! Choo Choo! Sancho train is due to arrive in one week!
I don't get it, I've never heard of him before. Is he on the blacklist?
I will drive this train straight to the station. We’ve suffered some horrific abuse, eggs thrown at our window and been labelled deluded fools.
But I will use my years of experience of driving The Great Muppet Express to get us through this one.
All anti-muppets should be banned from the Sancho thread when he signs next week! Can’t enjoy the cake they’ve been pissing on.
if this deal does go though it begs the question: are we just morons for taking this long to do the deal, or is this the way Dortmund wanted it.
TBF he`s more reliable with BVB news no shock he got something wrong on Bayern plus English press are also reporting we`ll bid this week(and it has to be this week as October 5th isn`t far away)
Choo fecking Choo
