1000 pages on just about nothing substantial. Kudos to everyone.

This is what I’m clinging too right now. United are definitely being told that Dortmund will sell. We’d have distanced ourselves from this weeks ago if that wasn’t the case.
Can't believe Dortmund have dragged this out to the point where we've reached 1k pages. Using our name for free publicity because they're well aware that literally no one is interested in their tinpot club. Have the forgotten who we are? We are Manchester United for fecks sake. You can't play games with us. Enough is enough. It's time to teach them and their arrogant fanbase a lesson they'll never forget.
Yeah fair enough. I remembered i was absolutely camping in that thread when Juve wanted Lukaku in exchange. Still can't understand why Juve would do that
Literally don't care anymore If this transfer happens or not. I think United have sucked the joy out of it totally.
If we can't get him, move on and look for someone else. Personally I'd be willing to spend that money on Son who's a top level player playing and capable of being fantastic on the right in the team.

This is going right to October fifth.
its not the clubs fault you've been in this thread and on social media looking for every piece of news on the saga.We're still clearly working on it.
I don't think this will drag on that long. As soon as he plays a game for Dortmund, that would mean the end of this saga.
You don't get such high transfers go to deadline day, it takes 4/5 days to complete these.
This is just not true though, isn't it. We've seen it time and time and time again.
Well its not like we're just starting work on it is there, hence this chatter for a year.
Yeah and they need time to get a replacement as well,however not panicking if he plays a league Dortmund because could still leave
You should write a strongly worded complaint to the club that they're not making the legal transfer of an asset entertaining enough.
You mean by paying lots and lots of money for Sancho?
The last 1000 pages in a nutshell, this.

They can but he allegedly wants to leave and his contracts ends in 2021. Also they have been hit by Covid, the league early stoppage and the lack of European football this season.
This is great satire
Well there we go.
Who's writing this or is this under the rumour mill?
Wouldn't waste my time emailing the club. Not expecting much this season with our rivals strengthening and pulling away from us while we stand still even If we got Sancho in or not
Yea. Let’s do business with Levy. Much easier.
Simon Stone.
Simon Stone - basically saying the club don’t think they can afford him in this climate. It’s the start of the ‘he’s too expensive’ brief.
Simon Stone. It's nothing new, just repeats again that there is an issue of the fee, hence Dortmund are confident they will keep him.
The beginning of the end?
Another nothing article, but i assume because it's from the BBC it's gospel and thats it, all over.
Literally just saying what we've known for ages with absolutely no new info
Why are they talking like that? I thought he wasn't for sale after the August 10th deadline anyway?
How can they be increasingly confident he’s going to stay when their position since August 10th has been there is no chance he’s leaving?
Well we are getting nowhere on this deal? Why not try and turn his head and let's be honest with Son playing under Mourinho I doubt it would take much. Have to remember Spurs are in 650 million pound debt.
If we offered close to 100 million for him well I'm sure they consider it, not saying they would accept but it would get them thinking
Gutting that its come out less than an hour since we smashed 1k pages!
Woodward is wasting everyones time with this, we've know about his valuation for over half an year now. There are no other suitors for him either, that's plenty time to figure out if we have the resources to sign the player or not. Clinging on to 3 weeks remaining in the transfer window is non-sense, this is all shaping up for a late bid of €100m or maybe even €120m near the end of window which will be promptly rejected by Dortmund because they won't have the time to sign a replacement. Woodward will do his classic face saving by briefing all the journos, hey looked we tried, we paid the fee they were asking for, they just wouldn't sell. It's not our fault, we'll try again next summer.
I feel bad when the club dupes our fanbase in lieu of false hope.

Do German posters on here not understand sarcasm?
Thing is, it's not clear at all.
We're still clearly working on it.
Richard Arnold will be thrilled with the amount of "media clicks" this story has gotten and will brag about it in the next earnings call...
Delaying transfers throughout the window to maximize the publicity and social media interaction is more important than getting the player signed and settled in before the season starts... United's KPI are not related to football at all.

No.
We send in our special ops unit created for such scenarios. LVG didn't get sacked, he went covert.
Well that is that then. 
To the Gareth Bale thread!
So many recent articles of us moving on or Dortmund being confident. I'm moved on past being evicted about this deal to being worried about another season of disappointments.
That’s a brief from Dortmund...not United. They’re saying they don’t think we’ll match the fee so he’s staying. Our position is their fee isn’t realistic and needs to come down. Seems like a negotiation and a game of poker. As it’s always been.
Contradictory but true. I thought they said the deal was dead and everyone in Germany is convinced and thus not talking about it anymore? Now it switches to 'increasingly confident'?
Caf Logic:
BVB - ED, this is a done deal
ED - It's done when I say it's done
