It seems very common for players to just agree terms with other clubs before any bids are even launched

Sane hasn't played barely a game for almost a year, whereas Rashford has come on a lot.Leroy Sane is a far better player than Marcus Rashford. Sorry but this argument can only exist on a Manchester United forum.
Also Sane has played predominantly as a pure winger, hugging the touchline more often than cutting inside whiles Rashford has been playing as an inside forward or striker. Comparing their goal stats is a bit disingenuous and probably favours Sane rather considering the fact that Rashford was your main penalty taker before Bruno came in and Sane never has been.
But this is football and being out for a whole season is enough time for football fans to forget how good a young player not playing for their favorite team really is.
And the 90m will be upfront too, rather than over a few years.Dortmund will demand 100m and we will likely get him for 90m odd plus add ons.
That is lower than I expected, thought his wage demands would be closer to 250k a week. With this and Fernandes being on 100k a week, I'm glad to see that we're no longer giving new signings absurd wages before they've shown anything for us.Tweet

And then sky sports will lazily throw around that we paid £200M any time he's referenced after the purchaseDortmund will demand 100m and we will likely get him for 90m odd plus add ons.
Pretty sure Bruno will get a new deal soon enough if he keeps this up.That is lower than I expected, thought his wage demands would be closer to 250k a week.

Isn’t that partly what an agent is for though and effectively why they exist: so that the player can agree terms via a 3rd party without any direct contact with the prospective club?It seems very common for players to just agree terms with other clubs before any bids are even launched
Kinda makes sense though, you have to sound out the player to make sure he actually wants to join. You don't want to agree a fee only to find out the player isn't interested in a move.It seems very common for players to just agree terms with other clubs before any bids are even launched
Pretty much, you don't usually launch the bid until the agreement with the player is done in principle in these types of deals. Of course you get permission to speak to the player and the agent lets the selling club know the bid is in coming.It seems very common for players to just agree terms with other clubs before any bids are even launched
Do you have any...insights?It’s on. Muppets; assemble
Haha, fair point as well!we’ve already endured several months of it. Point taken though l
Let's not forget Vidal too!Haha, fair point as well!
For some of us in the Sneijder Saga Survivors group though, we have been battle hardened and ready to last till September!
Yeah, but he's reporting things I want to hear so as far as I'm concerned he's basically tier 0.Duncan Castles' reliability is rock bottom. He was kinda okay for Mendes/Mourinho stuff but even towards the end of Mourinho's time here he was very unreliable.
I am a dreamer. I hope we get himDo you have any...insights?
What the reliability of this? If this is true then we are probably getting him. Can't see why we would have agreed a salary if we are not ready to pay up Dortmund's asking priceTweet

Sure, prioritise Saka’s deal ahead of the biggest move in the transfer window, c’mon DuncanTweet

Tbf Saka's contract was more of a priority.Sure, prioritise Saka’s deal ahead of the biggest move in the transfer window, c’mon Duncan
Bruno is on 100k? Insane transfer. Those who keeps saying Utd are clueless in transfers, should make a reality update. The committee thing works, thank God. There’s no need in Football Director.That is lower than I expected, thought his wage demands would be closer to 250k a week.

To be fair Sancho's potential deal is likely to drag on for a while so it makes sense to get this out the way first.Sure, prioritise Saka’s deal ahead of the biggest move in the transfer window, c’mon Duncan

If it's true that Sancho has agreed terms, United will have the upper hand here, amongst other reasons i.e. COVID 19. If you have the player on side chances are he's coming to you.If you listen to the podcast he also says he expects it to be a long drawn-out transfer as united won’t be prepared to spend huge money on him.
I always thought Clubs aren't allowed to talk to players without permission from the Club the player is contracted to. Unless they're about to be out of contract.I have to ask, is it actually legal to contact the player before a fee is agreed? Or can you do it in a sneaky way just to speed up when you agree the fee?
I agree. Just not sure how much that guy really knowsIf it's true that Sancho has agreed terms, United will have the upper hand here, amongst other reasons i.e. COVID 19. If you have the player on side chances are he's coming to you.
