We’ll see. In both those examples we paid less than the club demanded. 108m is the fee. I don’t think we pay more than 90m.

It's been a long painful saga, from those ludicrous stories that we wanted to bid only 50m earlier in the summer to still hanging off the back doors of it in hope now.
One week to go, roll on. Either way.

We won’t bid £90m because we know it won’t get accepted.
I’ll bet my neighbours dog on the fact we will bid 120m euros guaranteed payment but structured over a couple of years.
I’m back in! Let’s go! 
If we don't get this done we will look very very daft
We’ll just have to wait and see won’t we.
We sure will.
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. But oh yes I totally agree
Taste what? The salt from your tears when the window closes and we don’t sign him?So close now you can almost taste it.
You won’t be seeing me around here for a while after next week. I’ll be busy posting on Dortmund forum and Twitter. I’ll probably have to create multiple accounts to get around the bans.
Again, there is nothing to rip into them for. Dortmund will have taken us to the absolute cleaners.
Dortmund will lose their credibility if they sell the German posters on here were saying. I’m sure those chaps were right. Don’t get your hopes up.
Doubt the fans will care about the money, whenever you lose one of your best players as a fan it’s an absolute kick in the boll@x.
They’ve done it before though, if they do accept they will say it’s to help compensate for the losses over Covid (which it will.)
Hopscotch time
If the clubs have been in touch after that 10th August deadline and a bid is going in, surely it must be something close to what Dortmund want?
7 days to go.
Do Dortmund need a replacement or do they have enough in the squad to do without for a season?

It's an overstated bs nothing more if our offer makes economic sense for Dortmund it would be accepted , Dortmund or for that matter any other club are businesses they aren't governed by fan feelings unfortunately .
Reply please Howard. 
yeah, just wait until it's on their front fcuking pages and all over the radio
It's what isn't written...Reply please Howard.
Whats the Dortmund forum address? Might have to make an account
Interesting. We're gonna look so inept if the bid is rejected. Hopefully we've done our homework and feel comfortable Dortmund will accept. For us to spend all summer on this, you have to feel we're gonna get it over the line.
I’ve found their subreddit. The forum is in bloody German so my wums will go unrewarded. But their subreddit has more salt than my local chippy. Any post by a utd fan asking a genuine question about Sancho gets downvoted by every soldier in their army. I’m generally a nice guy, but I’m looking forward to being an absolute Cnut on there.Whats the Dortmund forum address? Might have to make an account
Well we either come out looking great from this, or like complete idiots, with nothing in between, no excuses now, we have never denied the link, and never taken the easy route and wriggled out of the cost because of covid.
I await the next week having no clue what the heck will happen, and not been surprised with either outcome.

No we wont. If Woodward makes a £90m bid and BVB refuse it, I'll say fair enough. (And I'll also think they are idiots as they wont get that high a bid from anyone for next 2 years)
Its clear that £20m is worth a lot more for next few seasons. We simply cant stretch that far.
So long as we get in a lesser target from OGS's list Im fine.
Do we have any german speaking United fans on this board who can write out some choice insults in German that we can copy paste?
What is the reddit link?
We're not gonna look daft because it's rejected but because we spent all summer getting ready to bid despite Dortmund ruling out a sale, meaning we won't have time to find an alternative.
You’re a muppet and a muppet that is dear to me. We will pay exactly what the asking price is. I have absolutely no doubts about it. 120m euros guaranteed payments.
Scroll down and you’ll see the Sancho debate. Even a Liverpool fan asked a genuine question about whether it’s likely he’s going to Utd. He got downvoted heavily.
Exactly.
Some seem to think we haven't a deal done due to quarterly financial results. Ludicrous.
While in theory it could be a reason for a delayed cash transfer it certainly isn't a reason not to have the dialogue and terms nailed down and an execution date agreed.
This misunderstanding needs to be corrected.
We can sign players from the Championship for 10 days after Euro window closes. So we can push BVB to the last hour and still have good options.
Makes sense why we were linked with Sarr and Brooks before, as club was doing necessary contract work in case we need to press that button.
Sure, if you consider Sarr and Brooks to be viable alternatives to Sancho.
so it took us months to finally get to the prepare stage
Yes of course, we'll look like the idiots that many think we are if any bid is just rejected, Dortmund stick to their 'not for sale now' stance, and we are left scrabbling around for a last minute loan deal like it's a big surprise to us to have been left in this position.
Wow. Exciting times ahead.
