Yeah that's how I have always interpreted the situation as well
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

Lucky that Haaland has a buy out clause then!
Did we buy any spurs players after that?
Its from the pod with fjortoft, romano and falk. They said that dortmund wanted all of it at once.
From what I understand, they was €120m guaranteed (none dependent on achieving add on targets).
They are prepared for €120m to be paid over instalments, but with a major chunk up front.
70 + 30 + 20, la.
IF that's true, and they stick to it, then this is 100% off. We don't have that amount of cash available this window.
IF they stated this recently, it would explain why Sancho is 'unhappy'.
I think it's part of their negotiation: by taking this absolute stance, they create concession space for themselves and can tell United they are compromising by allowing for instalments.
Man this transfer window just shows how inept these incompetent feckers are.
Not long left when this is put to bed for good.
and he'll be put to bed in a Man Utd one!
with a Man United No 7 Sancho duvet cover to keep him warm!

I reckon the 20 mil we’re getting for Smalling will go towards our final bid for Sancho.
I envy your optimism mate, i have given up. The club clearly has less money than we think when trying to buy Sancho and Telles for a £250 gift card from Amazon and a big mac meny.
This is the most boring ass drawn-out saga ever
The Dembele link has gone absolutely quiet. Surely this Sancho deal is the one we are going all out for now?
Baldist.
look! he already has an United shirt under the dortmund one! this is so ON!!!
Can't believe that Flex guy still has a platform. Mad
What's your beef with Flex?
Flex knows nothing. He’s just chancing like us
Yeah looks the most likely outcome
To be fair I’ve not seen him claim to be ITK though. He just comes across as a fan like the rest of us.
He would be as well to join the doom mongers on this one
Yes I thought he was excellent last night, he’s determined and hungry.
This is too quiet, and we've moved too late 
Still going to keep believing until it's not possible at all this window. Yes I know I am naive but that will keep me going until the deadline.This is too quiet, and we've moved too late
We are only taking about potentially our record signing and a total spend in the window approaching £180m!
Utd are losing £5m every home game they don’t play and we are all in the middle of a pandemic. Of course we need to be bloody careful with money.
Thought calling Rashford 'Rashford' and 'Rashbeck' for months made him an embarrassment.
And he said Goldbridge defended Shaw due to 'unconscious bias' because Shaw is white.
Why wouldn't he?
I used to watch the channel for a brief period, but stopped, however he was the only likeable one.
Although Flex is 'just a fan', he does have direct access to serious journalists, so his opinions are better informed than ours.
I think he is a clever guy: made a fair amount of £$€ from the banter and angst of this transfer saga.
I've said this as a punt for a while but I sometimes wonder if it's true.
We are around 20m short, we want around 20m from Roma for Smalling. Joked that we will use Smalling to fund the Sancho gap but I'm curious about the timing now.
Tomorrow is likely to be the day Smalling finally gets agreed, and we aren't likely to make an improved offer before then.

Some good stuff, eh Chucky?
That was Rants
you mean Rants cause that was definitely not Flex
Just like the real sun in Scotland, it's a load of shite.
It's the same each season isn't it? Woody struts around wearing tons of gold and platinum jewellery, waving money about and telling everyone that we're richer than Midas, and then he complains that people are demanding too much money for their players when we look to buy them.
I’m sure the club have come out and said we need to be prudent this summer. Which is exactly right.
I'm follicly challenged so I'm allowed to be baldist.
Thought the Smalling money was going towards Telles but maybe I am wrong
Telles can be crowd funded with the figures being quoted
