He was good under Moyes I think as he was getting leaked the team sheets. If we were pulling out of the Sancho deal I’d think Simon Stone and others would also have the story.

His cousin commented about him having to start supporting the red devils now.
Is it finally dead?
Sancho joining Kaiserslautern or becoming Belgian citizen confirmed
Jesus, this is... deep. I don't think I can keep up with that level of muppetry!!!
Dead? It’s just been born mate. Fully alive and kicking!
Welcome aboard brother. Buckle up.
Finally some light at the end of the tunnel
Read the writer. He's known for bollocks.
Too many things are going against us now.
I need some muppet hope because I am *this* close to commenting suggestions in the “Sancholess Window” thread.
There's a reason why it's an exclusive...
No! Never accept defeat and do that.
Well if people can invest all their hopes on a random Instagram post from a distant cousin of Sancho who he doesn't even speak to, then I can do the same for a qualified journalist, no matter how low rent he might be.
Hope we don't sign him? Nice.
This is happening mate. It will blow up in th next week or so. Utd will get this done the painful way. We are too far into it.
I just want it to be over.
Why is it dead? Because someone in the mirror thinks we’ve given up.
If it was a leak everyone would be saying it in unison don’t give up!
This has only just begun! Embrace it.
You will know when it's over. Every paper will give the obvious brief from the club. The mirror know nothing unfortunately. Nobody knows if you United will pay up or walk yet unfortunately, this is a saga.
Expecting the briefings to roll in soon, then we'll know for sure.
Can't see him being any cheaper next year though with two years left but clubs will know better the financial forecast and any second wave in the winter will be behind them.

Seriously move on, buy Brooks, Chiesa, Depay for less than half the price and reinforce other areas if we have the budget.
We need him to agitate for a move and he isn't thus for so can't be that arsed, I have genuine concern with his attitude also.

So glad we spent all year planning it and then backing out without making a bid because we seemingly never had the sense to even see if we can afford him or would be willing to spend on him at first. Our management is a tragic when it comes to transfers.
Come on, no one expected a fecking pandemic and its related impacts. Wouldn't complain if we pull out. No one has money and it's a fact.
Ok, the pandemic started 6 months ago. It doesn't take 1/2/3/4 months to make a signing. We're doing feck all in the transfer market right now seemingly. Its a lame excuse saying nobody has money, as we are one of only like 3 premiet league teams who haven't completed a signing yet. There's been loads of bargain deals already that would've helped us. Reality is just whats been happening every summer with Woodward. No results. Everything else is just excuses for his failings yet again. No sense of being proactive at all.
Very true. I’m not getting my hopes up for next season. I feel bad for Ole.
This will get done eventually. He’s our number one target I’m certain.
Problem is we will end up just getting him if anything.... we've got to fix a lot more positions.
Its fine if we get just him. He's world class and a position of need and an area with no depth. Solves a lot of issues while being a game changer who makes everyone else better. The issue is spending all this time on him (more than just this year) in terms of some form of discussions, and still nothing. Either bring him in or move on to the next target at this point. Its either a realistic signing or it isn't. We're wasting so much time and energy when we should know by now if it'll happen or not.
Will be a few cheap signings here and there. Gems probably given Ole knows what he’s doing. Title charge next season. Dark horses for CL.
With you on this. Pre-covid, and even up to the end of the season, I had some cofidence this and Grealish were our priorities, and they would be done pretty quickly, since it looked like we had our targets decided early and we were the only ones in the race.
In the case of Sancho, it looks less likely right now - Dortmund have set the terms, either we will pay the 120, or we won't.
There's no point following this thread for every intricacy, it isn't the usual saga for me, since it isn't up to the player. It's up to us to pay the fee. And the moment we're out, Ed will brief. The moment we're in, we'll hear in the transfer tweets that we've agreed a package.
I'm leaning towards this not happening, but the fact we haven't had a clear brief coming out around the "demands being unrealistic" or wheatever, leaves a door open.
For a start
1) you are underestimating the financial implications of this pandemic. Doesn't matter if it started 3/4/6 months ago, no one knows how the world is going to be (let alone the footballing world)
2) Chelsea is the only team who has spent lot of money only because they are sitting on huge cash from last year and the sales.
3) agree on the bargain deals- which I have been saying as well. But in that case Sancho is a no go. I believe management wants Sancho and depending upon that we will go for others (loan or purchase)
Just relax and judge the window on October. Everything before that is a pure knee-jerk. We just don't know what's happening on the background.
This is more like it. You forgot to add : Pogba in contention for Balon d’or?
I keep hearing people say we don’t have money to spend. We’ve got 150M to spend.
Are the other teams paying transfers with Monopoly money then?
Given we are incapable of finding reasonable deals, we actually don't have much to spend.
We took a credit line just in case to cover the expenses if we have cash flows issues. Those 150M GBP are not some loans for player transfers.
That would be really risky.
Reports prior to this window suggested we had around 150m iirc. The credit line was taken out to account for the losses in matchday revenue. If we couldn't spend amounts in that region, we wouldn't have wasted our time with Sancho at all
Dortmund just needs to give us a "Corona Discount" on Sancho and stop playing these games.
120 million euros is a bit over the top, he will be a Dortmund player for the rest of him life if they don't come down a little bit.

They don't need to give us anything. Would you sell your house for a corona discount?
