He tends to be more speculative than most journalists linked with United. I wouldn't take his Tweets word for word, but if he's saying that, then it does mean that we're not giving up yet.
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

So many posters will look daft in this thread in a few weeks. When we sign him : )
So it's ON again??
it was never off
Never been off
We had to eject loads of passengers last week to decease the weight of the Sancho train as it had been running off fumes.
But new stocks of fuel are filling up the tank so we are ready for people to come back in board. Choo choo.
Yep - all the naysayers who lost their nerve and jumped off the train!
This is complete BS. Why would we wait until next week to put in an offer for an amount published in the Mirror? Is Ed waiting for a cheque from the Glazers to clear?
Slow news day, so journos need Utd clickbait!
Shambles
IF that story is true and IF we make a bid that far below the asking price, it does rather have the whiff of Barca pretending to try to buy Neymar last summer to shut Messi up.
Ffs, just give them the 15mil. Tell them its guaranteed before next season.
Seriously, who is this Sam Pilger guy
Writer for the athletic I believe
We're in such a strong negotiating position. Coming off a season where we didn't shut the feck up about how rich we are and how we can take advantage of the pandemic, the constant severe negativity around the club, it's players and the fans this summer, a 3-1 embarrassing performance against a team that will be fighting relegation and a Dortmund team who have no pressing need to sell, especially now that there's like a week left of the window and they've had a long term injury to one of their wide players in Hazard.
Fecking ridiculous if true, good thing it's the Mirror and it isn't
Just pay the fecking 120m or feck off to other targets, sick of this club's posturing in the media to try and distract everyone from the fact that we have done feck all in the market

Nah, I’m certain of that. I’m a subscriber and never come across his name on there. Unless he’s freelance?
Jesus Christ. A non-negotiable low ball bid. I mean we all feel he's incompetent but that stretching things

Likely free lance yeah, he has Athletic with a host of other papers / blogs on his twitter boo.
Freelance, I believe. I think he was writing United match reports for the Guardian in the late 90s ?
Sadly, the odds are moving unfavourably for us.
Sancho to remain at Dortmund: 2/5
Sancho to join United: 7/4
Take it or leave it.... so they'll leave it? 
Ok see you next year.

He's definitely got one Pogba article on there from last year and he claims it on his Twitter. However, when you click his name to get to the author page, it throws an error, unlike the regular lads.
According to his Twitter bio:
It seems like he's a freelance writer to me. He's written a bunch of articles for Forbes, recently, as part of their new Forbes SportsMoney division.
If you could do with the cash, having a massive cheque in your possession will burn holes in your pockets, especially during these times.Take it or leave it.... so they'll leave it?

BVB won't accept the first bid, but once an offer is in play, they will have nightmares about opportunity cost.
One thing for sure, he bald as hell
From most reports lately it seems we need the cash more than they do!
Maybe!I'm throwing my money on him instead of us getting Sancho to be honest
I'll never forgive him for convincing me that we were going to sign Alderweireld and Sandro in the summer of Fred, Dalot, and Grant.
The mighty Ed Woodward has made his final demand, Zorc will undoubtedly accept out of fear.
Been one of the more positive days today though.. few snippets coming out that were certainly still going to try and get this one done.
Laurie Whitwell said as well on the Talk of the Devils podcast that he's hearing from the club that there's still hope that a deal can be done in this window.

Dean Jones also thinks there's a good chance we'll sign Sarr on loan from Watford along with Sancho to help with our depth issues.
Sancho's a proper throw back winger. Loves his position wide right rather than dreaming of being a no 9 or 10. We've not had one of these since Lee Sharpe or Andrei Kanchelskis.
Looks like he has all their qualities but also a much lower centre of gravity which means he can dribble just as well as outpace his defender.

I just don't share the optimism.
Sam Pilger still owes us Toby and Sandro.
