Pretty much every week he comes on with his mandatory tweet about "BVB will sell for 120m only, personal terms agreed". Like we already know mate. If you have new things to report say it, otherwise don't become a broken clock.
It was pretty much the reason Rooney was questioning the clubs ambitions when he had that flirt with leaving for somewhere else. Albeit it, the other managers signings wasn't the greatest they were never given the backing to kick on once we got into the champs league, seems to be a pattern reoccurring. Sancho obviously is the player we need RF, 20, it's a cheap signing over time as well with the potential time-scale of 10 years plus.
I'm not sure just missing a few players, and I thought seeing Liverpool win the league would ignite something, but doesn't seem to be the case thus far. Sigh.
God knows how, but that's just twenty pages to go before the record set by the Pogba thread is broken. Absolutely bonkers.
It's like that Stephen King short story, The Jaunt. An eternity of nothingness until you eventually emerge out of the other side either dead, mad or ready to tear your own eyes out.

Tbf, he does it mainly in response to all the United fans who ask him about Sancho every minute of the day and night
Even when he's reporting on other clubs and transfers entirely at least half the replies come from United fans egging him on for Sancho updates
Hopefully Ole will put this to bed one way or the other during his press conference today.
"We don't talk about other team's players."
If I were him, I would just ignore the comments to be honest, especially comments about a question that I have answered previously several times.Tbf, he does it mainly in response to all the United fans who ask him about Sancho every minute of the day and night

Though I usually find United fans on twitter to be really annoying when it comes to transfers.
Hopefully the body language experts amongst us will be able to draw the conclusion when he inevitably says that.
I was envisioning Ole looking straight into the camera and saying "SanchON". And then continue on with the other questions like nothing happened.
Anyone else think we'll be fighting for 5th if we dont make a big signing? We're really going into next year with martial and rashford as the only two proven attackers. Greenwoods very young and rashford to be honest is not consistent. Even if all 3 fire on all cylinders they're definitely not gonna stay fit for the entire season. Then its dan james time. We have the worst depth in attack by far.
here is a simple point. We are spending money on expensive transfers that don’t necessarily have to be that expensive. I’m all for spending 150 million on Mbappe. He is proven
im gonna reply to you but I believe it covers everyone who responded to my comments.
The comment was not about the past meetings with the above mentioned teams. It was based on the fact that the above mentioned teams stand a better chance in Europe despite us spending more money.
Its a norm for premier league teams. ManCity outspent Athletico by a huge margin but there is a good chance of Athletico reaching higher stages in the champions
leagu them. This is not based on one season but over multiple seasons.
Juventus won the league and spent less than we do. They are always considered a threat in the champions league. We aren’t.
We lost to Sevilla twice in 5yrs in European competitions despite massively outspending them. Worst part is when you look at their games against Madrid and Barcelona, they perform better than we do against those teams. I looked at a guy like Ever Banega and wondered to myself, how much would this guy have costed 5yrs ago because he is a good player who would have added value to our midfield without costing us a lot. By the way the issue of Pogba vs Vidal & Pirlo is interesting. Do you think Pogba was better than the 2 when we signed him?
So far Ole signed AWB, Maguire, Fernandez, James and VDB.thats 5 players. Without any signings since his arrival, the team would look like this.
De Gea
TFM Smalling/Bailly Lindelöf Shaw
Matic. Fred Pogba
Greenwood Martial Rashford.
The transfers then should have put this team in contention for the title but we still need 5 more signings in addition to the 5 signings already made and that’s not a waste of money according to some
James was never signed to be a starter Van De Beek is yet to play for us , Fernandes was signed in winter .So it was just two signings for the first team last summer and another in winter .We don't need another 5 new signings to compete Just Sancho and another fullback and some luck with injuries we should be competitive in the league. Your point about overpaying is correct but needing another 5 players to challenge isn't.
I suspect that the proposed 2 week lockdown in October would mean no paying spectators in stadiums this winter and the worst case financial scenario for the club.
Which means either Dortmund can see we are not lying, empathise with our predicament and compromise on the deal, because it’s also financially astute for them too.
Or it’s off.

This is a very bad take. Ole has spent money more effectively than his last three predecessors. He's only had one full season to spend. It takes time.
I don’t think Liverpool winning the league even registers with the Glazers, and why would it? That’s just for the fans.
This thread is almost as futile and hopeless as Woodward's pathetic attempts at negotiating this deal.
I'm stuck in two minds about this deal. In one sense I think Woodward is right to stick to his price and not bow to what Dortmund want (Dortmund are also just as right to only accept an offer they believe is acceptable. In another sense, is the month of lost potential training with the squad that Sancho could have had worth the 10-15 million Woodward is stalling over? Probably not. I also think united lose face massively if we don't sign him this summer and then another team gets him next summer. If what I have read is correct Sancho is a Chelsea fan, so if Liverpool were to sell Salah or Mane who is to say that Liverpool wouldn't come in for him next summer? If you were Sancho where would you rather go? For me it would clearly be Liverpool if I had no prior affiliation with United.
I think we will be in similar situation to last year. In the race for top 4, but towards the end we will struggle and end 5th or so imo.
With the current squad we will finish 5th or 6th
City
Liverpool
Chelsea
Arsenal
United
Spurs
Arsenal - seriously? No chance. Spurs will also finish above them, as will Wolves.
Not impossible if they also got Partey and Aouar.
That's a big if. As it stands don't think they'll make top 6.
That's as big an if as us getting Sancho
They're playing good football in the last few months and seem to have a fairly settled side. I'd say the only area of the pitch we're stronger than them is midfield.
Even with their current squad, Arsenal will make the top 6 easily.
We are better than them in every area of the pitch and currently it's not even close and no they haven't been playing good football in last few months they had some good performances in Fa cup but they did pretty well Under Wenger in FA cup as well. There is some Serious overrating of Arsenal going on this forum currently.
Agree. They've been shocking on several occasions when I've seen them.
Oh, and they're as close to a one man team as you'll see in the top 10.
Guys, didn't you see how arsenal thrashed Fulham? That's sufficient proof that they'll finish above us! 
If we sign him, he will come "Happy Sancho day"
It isn't happening lads. Accept it and move. Let's go through the stages of grief together.
Golden
Big day today
Really is. We won’t announce anything over the weekends.
Monday is international squirrel day, so if not today we will need to wait until at least Tuesday.
Not happening. Disappointed but don't blame the club either. Huge amount of cash for one player and who knows when gate receipts will return to normal levels.
feck it, move on.
feck it, move on.
Your heart’s not in it today.
Club make contact over Watford’s Ismaila Sarr as doubt grows around Jadon Sancho deal

I’d be okay with this. Sarr is a proper talent. A come down from Sancho but if it doesn’t make sense, it just doesn’t. The ownership has been a joke.
But if they don’t get anybody that would be far worse.
Happy Sancho day!
