Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

[Rake]

Hang on he was saying it was very close 10 days ago. The guy is clearly full of shit.

When did Romano say it was close? He said that personal terms have been agreed and teams are negotiating

 

[Berbasbullet]

They were quite salty when we bought Miki.

You’d think it’d be reasonable though, we sent Januzaj over there, we traded Kagawa back and forth, etc.

 

[ReallyUSA]

Romano on the Stretford Paddock Podcast saying that United and Dortmund don't have a good relationship and it's complicating matters. Thought some journalists were saying the relationship was actually good?

Mhkitaryen deal ended with some salt

Read his tweets and replies for the last month. He knows nothing.

 

[MikeUpNorth]

Maybe the club will just decide to wait until January or next summer to see how the covid situation progresses and the state of our finances.

Why the feck has this thread grown by 15 pages since I last looked? Nothings happened

Every couple of posts someone asks why is the thread growing so much , then couple people answer those people and then the process repeast itself

That's your answer.

 

[Random Task]

Given the sheer number of conflicting reports circulating the internet right now, I think it's safe to assume no one has any idea what's going on with this transfer.

 

[shaky]

Can still get even money with the bookies that Sancho stays at Dortmund this season, so anyone certain that this transfer is dead might as well put their money where their mouth is.

 

[Isotope]

I wish we had a shinny new stadium to show. All best players would even take a pay cut just to play here.

Anyway, what has Glaston been doing lately?

Why the feck do you look in this thread so rarely?

Mhkitaryen deal ended with some salt

As far as public perception goes if there was some "salt" it was with Mkihtaryan for supposedly going back on his word and forcing a move in the end. As long as the buyer isn't a domestic rival I doubt clubs really care who they do business with.

 

[Andycoleno9]

I must admit that i was wrong few months ago. I thought that Dortmund after few bids will sell because of corona impact. But they stand firm and i guess Sancho give them boost by not saying that he wants to leave.
So Ed must be aware by now that either he will pay what Dormund want or just go for another targets now. No point waiting one month and then paying that 120mil. Pay them now or don't.

 

[Redcy]

Coman, expensive, injury prone and at Bayern. No thanks

Then it's dead. Can't see us paying this much of money.

 

[beingshe7don]

When the deal goes through, I can see the Dortmund Twitter account saying something like..... All the best Jadon Sancho. Good luck joining a team that does not guarantee CL football every year...... or some BS like that.

 

[dabeast]

F*&king Glazers, have skimmed and ensure we are only fighting for Champions League places. When handed a huge windfall in getting Rashford (150mn), Greenwood (200mn) for free, are penny-pinching on a potential Messi-level player.

 

[VanGaalEra]

Then it's dead. Can't see us paying this much of money.

If we want Sancho, we better pay this year. The price isn't going to drop.

I got criticised for saying this and I am in panic.

I feel that we have come to a point where we know where all parties stand. Dortmund will sell for the money.

We must have done loads of financial calculations on what we can spend this summer, so the club must know what their ceiling price for this player is and what impacts that will have for other targets.

Therefore; it is time to make the decision, move on or pay up.

I agree with this to be fair. Disappointing if we don’t sign Sancho but Dortmund/Zorc, true to form, cannot help themselves in the midst of a transfer wrangle.

Always arrogant, petulant and unhelpful. Have we ever been like that when selling a player? Heck, are many clubs for that matter? Yet Dortmund are, without fail.

Small-time, self-obsessed wankers.

120m straight up is way too much money for us. maybe for any English club actually. It's hard to blame the club for this.

 

[beingshe7don]

The total amount has been agreed. It's the installments which Dortmund aren't willing to budge on..... They are expecting a large amount upfront whereas United are only willing to pay half of 120m right now as we need to address couple other positions. The deal will eventually go through.... It'll drag and drag and suck the life and joy of the excitement surrounding this signing and then go through....

So Romanos narrative goes from ”negotiations in advanced stage” to “the clubs don’t have a good relationship, and United might walk away”?

Top journalism there, Fabrizio.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Did you miss all those trophies Barca have won when Messi has been there?

Did you miss all those trophies Argentina have won with him being Argentinian? It's a stupid point you're making. Of course no single player is essential for success given the factors involved. But having an elite talent can make a huge difference.

 

[Offside]

I don’t even mind us going cheap on a CB if we get this guy. He should be our priority so just pay up. I could understand walking away if we’d already spunked £80m on Koulibaily but this is just classic Woodward. Will get done eventually.

How are those two things incompatible?

Sorry my post is not up to your standard.

My point that was missing by some is, Sancho isn't required for teams to be successful.

How it's going to go through when there's absolutely no reason for BVB to budge away from their demands? Feels like wishful thinking at this moment.

Zorc would have been asked though wouldn't he?

He can't say "yeah we're negotiating on his sale".
That'd be unreasonable to say that, so of course he'll sound confident he's staying - it's a key negotiation point to not weaken their hand.

I think it's a 50-50.

We've had Maguire and Pogba sagas where we eventually got them, but we've had other pursuits we haven't.

 

[2ndTouch]

It's just unlikely that Dortmund would come out with such statements, if the negotiations really have been in an advanced stage. FB is just another guessing BSer caught with his pants down,, and now we're seeing him pedaling back.

 

[redshaw]

Romano has got every possibility covered now.

Most of us have come to these latest conclusions a few days ago.

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

How are United desperate? The club has literally said nothing and remained quite relaxed. All the blabbing is from Dortmund.

We’re desperate for reinforcements & it’s clear Sancho is our #1 & only real target for the RW position.

The expert has spoken.

A deal could happen.

It may not even happen.

No shit.. we all know this. All these fan channels having him on the show to repeat what he keeps saying, its nothing new now.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Nothing he says is truly incompatible, because none of them have any real substance.

Is it? It's not as if we don't have a colourful history of Zorc and co coming out with bullshit after bullshit whenever someone is after one of their high profile players.
