Bah, I guess we'll probably not get much flight-tracking nonsense posted here this summer. The muppets might even enjoy their vacation for once.
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

Again, you're thinking like a fan and not like the player. He might not have even wanted to leave last year; it's not like he's at a dead end club in Dortmund. Theyve been close to winning the league the last 2 years there. Maybe he would be happy to wait another year, maybe he wants to win something before he leaves. Or maybe he's desperate to get out. WE just don't know.
I don't think we can afford to wait another year. We are shite at breaking down teams who don't give us a million acres of space to run into, we have very few players who can make space when pressed/congested. If Dortmund are refusing to accept the current climate hence refusing to budge on their valuation, look elsewhere. That position is just far too weak. If it's not addressed and we have another stop-start season, I doubt Ole will still be in the job.
90m is a lot of £££ but if we paid 80m for Maguire then Sancho is worth 90.
I believe Haaland would be a better catch for United then Sancho. Martial, Rashford, James, Pogba and Bruno are good enough for the time being what you need a lethal finisher more then anything, adding more creative and pace is going to do much.
Sancho is worth £90M in the current market, we are talking about a brilliant young attacker.
He's 20 years old, you get a lot of mileage out of him, he's a potential world class player.
Getting a a player like Sancho and one or two others, I think there would be praise for recruitment in recent years

I recall people saying Sancho would cost 130 - 150m pre corona with Dembele's £135m sale always being brought up in comparison. £90m seems like the right price in this current market
There is no such thing as a too expensive player. Every single player who turns out to be a success will be worth the Money.
If we want Sancho - we sign Sancho if we can, regardless if he costs £10-15 million more than we would like to spend
We can recoup half that Money from Selling squad-players we dont want (Smalling, Jones, Rojo and Lingard to name 4)

I think the 90m doing rounds is likely a base fee. Suspect he still costs over 100m with add ons being factored but I still expect this deal to happen if we get CL football. Can see City`s ban standing and us getting it via 5th place.
Can we just announce the fecker already and be done with it. Thanks.
We’ve got at least another 739 pages before that happens.
They benched him last game and played Reyna who looks like they're grooming to take his place long term.
I think they've accepted he's going this summer, they'll just drive a hard bargain to get the most they can.

How many extra goals do we think he would he give us? We need someone that can score 10-15
100m euros is 90m odd though
So about two weeks?
I think AWB and Sancho could develop a good relationship, Sancho likes to operate in spaces between the CB and full backs, and will create space for both our attackers and AWB on the overlap.
I know AWB isn't the best going forward, but I think him and James down the right is a terrible combo. Both offer little imagination and occupy the touchline. I feel AWB is much better when paired with Mason or Mata on the right.
Anyway, back on topic, what a signing Sanco will be if we pull it off. I'd imagine he will get the No. 7, and here's hoping we've finally found someone worthy of pulling it on post Ronaldo.

Sancho will reap havoc on the right if that's where he plays, AWB is one of the best one-on-one defenders currently in the league, and if not in the world, there are of course question marks of him going forward with his delivery.
If those two form a partnership though, given them being age 22 and 20 respectively, it's a very good sign for the team.
Also if you think that knowing AWB is a great one-on-one defender it means Sancho can stay forward in some games, and it allows AWB to get forward when the opposition needs stretching too. Hopefully it allows AWB to develop his forward play too.
Not only would the acquisition of Sancho be good for United but it'll also be very good for the english NT
I expect this deal to have twists and turns over the next month,much like we saw with the deals last summer but ultimately we will get our man for around £80m with add ons taking it over the £100m mark.

He's well worth that money, especially when you consider our RW options and how bad it's been since Nani left...
That's achievable I think.
Easily. Plus he’d provide that many in assists too I reckon
Hard to say I’d be surprised by 15 in his first season so don’t think that’s realistic (assuming you mean PL alone) but I think close to 10 would be a really positive start.
Add in 10-15 assists and that would be a massive improvement. PL record for assists is 20 so I don’t think he’ll replicate his BVB form.
So for me rather than targeting goals or assists separately I’d say target a contribution stat so a mix of both.
If he can get close to 20 league contributions I’d be happy enough with his season. Anything more would be a huge bonus.
I don’t think 15 goals is easy in the PL unless you meant overall?
I'm guessing it was more over the season. Top PL goalscorer is currently on 19 solely in the league with the next closest at 17. As you say league contributions of around 20 would be a super succesful season. Maybe 30 contributions over the whole season, and I'd be ecstatic.
Assuming over the season I could see it happening closer to 30 contributions but it would be one heck of a season from him!
Saw something tonight that suggests we could announce Sancho in the week after West Ham game. This could be completely wrong but thought may as well share it.
You saw him in a car with Woody?
Bit of a weird thing to post without you know actually at least saying what the thing was or posting it.
A dream?
Prediction that we'll get Sancho for 65m + add on, and we'll also Grealish for 45m + add on.
I was talking about pounds. My mistake for not putting the pound sign.
I’ll have a smoke of what you’re on. The add ons would match the fee for Sancho haha
I'd be surprised given that we will still not have CL football secured and won't know when fans can come back to the ground.
This will rumble on all summer I reckon.
Vague much?
Yeah that 'something' he saw started on a Reddit sub called Muppetiers. You lot can all relax.
beginning to think we are going to miss out on all/most of our targets
It's June 23rd. The season hasn't even finished yet, the window isn't even open. But yeah reasonable reaction to have.....
Based on..?
Negative Nancy Syndrome.
why? Season hasn't ended in any of the top leagues and transfer windows haven't opened . We will be linked with a thousand players over the summer and probably sign 2 or 3 who knows . Relax and enjoy the ride .- Status
