Dortmund will push for him to be our most expensive ever signing, so I guess it''ll be £1m more than the £89m paid for Pogba.
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

So true
I said last year I really enjoy reading Christina’s gossip even though most of it is clearly nonsense. That’s not the issue.
It’s the nonsense around the Reddit idiots that really annoys me. People can feel free to go there if they wish but I can’t be doing with people trying to endorse them with what was clearly false information.

I’ve literally followed this thread more than any other thread and having read all or most posts, I can safely say that I enjoy the news from the ITK as it got me super excited but I do agree that there are posters on here who have been following clear rules about which sources are genuine enough to be posted on here and I find it unfair to them that info from ITK’s is being posted on here. Posters could’ve shared such info too but since we’re all waiting for reliable sources to share updates, we should continue following the same trend.
However I wouldn’t mind having a separate thread where people can share all these ITK updates! I never mind such sources specially as some posters have pointed out, these people such as the ITK4 guy, is apparently someone employed in the business and well connected.

Fair enough, good point. If its not allowed its not allowed.
I say it every transfer window, Simon Stone isn't an ITK he's a club mouthpiece, he tells the world what the club what him/the world to know not what's actually happening
to be fair, there probably isn't a journalist out there that is as close to the club as Stone ... he is pretty much a mouthpiece for Ed. So when he confirms that Sancho indeed is our top target, that does carry some weight. At least to me.
I don't think there have ever been any doubts about whether we prioritize Sancho or not.
The true million dollar question has always been whether we can land him in this economic climate.
It’s important people understand the language these journalists who are close to United use.
When Simon stone says “I think they believe Jaydon Sancho wants to come back to England” what he really means is “Sancho has told United he wants to come back and that’s what Ed has told me”.
Language is important, these guys aren’t going to throw their sources under the bus but they’re sources are 100% credible and are involved in the process. They protect their sources when they speak so they can take responsibility for getting something “wrong” if a transfer doesn’t come off. If they spout off any old bollocks they’ll find themselves out of the loop when it comes to these stories in the future.
That it does but also history shows don't believe him when he says we are far apart on valuation and a deal is a ways off.
Historically when he says stiff like this the deals have been wrappte up quickly
Mate you don’t have to apologise. I know you just trying to do what’s good and give people the info.
Regards your question, all those journalists have jobs and what little reputation they’ve left, if not with us, then with their peers.
When they put a name on the story, it will definitely some consequence in the future. Eventually you’ll be regarded as a bullshit merchant as Delaney is. That can also directly affect them. Those guys, the nameless ITK, they get outed as bullshit merchants and nothing happens.
Feck knows what rock these ITK clowns live under for 10 months of the year, before suddenly springing to life every summer with real-time information on every big deal that United are involved in (co-incidentally, their ‘contacts‘ conveniently exclusively provide information on United only). Then the window closes, and they presumably go back to stacking shelves until the following summer.
I mean that’s how this works. The window is only open two months in the summer. The January window doesn’t have enough activity to compare. So of course these journalists and ITKs are going to be super active only during these 2 months. What’s hard to believe about that?
I assumed they hibernated, like squirrels?

Strange that it is flying in such a straight line like that, almost like it's been faked.
Do you only hear from journalists in the summer then?
It's as the crow flies mate! This is ON
Flight tracking. Its like the official opening of muppet season.
He was pictured jogging in Manchester recently wasn't he?
So those posts of him getting into a plane suggests he's leaving Manchester

Joking aside though, even if I was earning £350k per week I still wouldn't money on private planes. I can't think of a bigger waste of money.
Just jump on a feckin' commercial flight FFS.

And make sure to take a sip of the air hostess supplied bottled water in front of all of the regular joes on the plane...
Covid and its a tax deduction
Fair enough it's a big transfer so they probably were allowed to fly through no fly zones and ignore the NOTAM's.It's as the crow flies mate! This is ON
Well Delaney still keeps on writing and getting clicks. Same with the likes of Custis, who was even publicly called out by LVG. So I don't know how much their reputation gets affected.
Nevertheless, I get what you're saying so let's not derail this thread further and leave it at that.
That's more like it!When it comes to transfers not many speak throughout the year. Only a handful. Cause there genuinely might be no activity but other than scouting going on.

Reading this twitter thread and it kind of highlights how Sancho is not an 80 million player and with good reason. he isn’t explosive enough like the best forwards (mane, mbappe Messi) but is more on the creative side. He also needs a good fullback to get the best out of him. Highly doubt awb is good for this. Interesting thread. Makes me appreciate rashfords explosiveness even more.
I’d still play up though because there is nothing better out there.
Griezmann for a long period was one of the best forwards in the game but didn't have any physical attributes like the others mentioned.
He's gone on holiday, that's what the plane picture is about.
That guy is full of sh**, Sancho is fast, very fast. He's also 20 years old so hasn't grown into his body yet like Greenwood, he'll get faster for sure.
Also he says 1. 'Pep let him go', no he didn't, Sancho chose to leave after not being given enough assurances. 2. AWB isn't suited to overlapping, although he's limited going forward, he still acts as an outlet to Greenwood on the right. 3. He's come back overweight, yes he has in the past but look at his Instagram and he's out doing cardio work.
Why should we give a feck what this guy from twitter thinks?
You and that guy need to get your fecking eyes checked. The video below was 12 months ago. He is so much better now when compared to last season.
Random guy named "tacticalnovice" at that
The clue is literally in the name ffs.
that's excellentCalled it, basically.
Delaney has absolutely no credibility with anyone that follows transfer news. They still write because transfers are just one part of their job.Well Delaney still keeps on writing and getting clicks. Same with the likes of Custis, who was even publicly called out by LVG. So I don't know how much their reputation gets affected.
Nevertheless, I get what you're saying so let's not derail this thread further and leave it at that.
