Romano never said it was close, that was all Fjortoft I think. Wages not being an issue was reported by others like Falk as well.
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now
- Thread starter Adnan

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Yeah it's a shame. There needs to be strict rules laid by the footballing authorities on agent comissions. Only players must be paying them any money. Neither buying or selling club needs to indulge with them leeches.
There you go. I will send you more links if you want. It also tells me you don't read UK newspapers, listen to UK sports radio or watch UK Sports TV. I think you are spending too much time on the caf. There is a world outside the caf you know.https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/talk...ement-five-year-contract-transfer-record/amp/
You have won the internet today!
We can do 1000 pages by the end of the weekend!
Looking forward to the next time someone posts a tweet with someone asking Fab for an update. I wonder if he’ll stick to his guns. I’m still a believer!
You think van der Beek is a bad piece of business?
Stop allowing yourself to be led by the nose by this charlatan.
I’ve been relatively confident all summer on this and NONE of that confidence was provided by Romano, you can glean most of what you need on the situation without hanging on his every word mate.
Easily mate.
the obsession with proclaiming any news story that doesn't immediately bare fruit "fakenews" is seriously cringe worthy. the real truth is, the clubs and agents control the narration and leaked info and you have no idea what is really going on. and that is by design. you have no idea if those guys were right all along and the deal is more or less wrapped up and both clubs and agent are keeping tight lipped while a few things play out. like sourcing a replacement, commercial likeness rights, etc, etc. a lot of which could effect the finances of the clubs, and or the deal itself if it was public knowledge that the deal was completed. at the same time you have no idea if the stories were made up? I know that more often then not where there is smoke, there is fire. and i would sit back and let this one play out before claiming any slaps in anyones faces
Reckon he will, think we have agreed personal terms, just the agent demanding ridiculous fees. Fab only said we were in advanced negotiations, which we were.
What do you think Utd will propose to overcome these issues
Yeah I know but he’s been one of the more positive journalists on this saga. I don’t take what he says as gospel but it’s nice hearing positive things even if it’s BS. I guess I’m a sheep 
Quite sure Romano said clubs were confident of reaching an agreement "soon" back in early August, and he also replied to a tweet re. wages saying it was never an issue. He repeatedly has said player has agreed with the club, which means wages are ironed out.
I'm relatively confident you're chatting bollocks. Lets wait and find out. English journos vs Romano doesn't normally end well.
Am i right in thinking that he wouldn't have to self isolate for 14 days if we can get this done before the first game
Talksport?
We'd probably have to get the deal done before the international duty ends. If he returns to Germany, then he'd have to self isolate. Unlikely we'll complete it before he returns home.
Players have to be registered with the club before the second game to avoid quarantine. I don’t think Germany is in the red zone though. No quarantine required.
When the van de Beek stories were ramping up a few days ago, the United-linked journalists were only talking about how we just monitored him. It was Romano, however, who was talking about contacts with his agents and the club. The likes of Stone, Whitwell, Peach, and Luckhurst weren't even mentioning that.
I think the club wants any bit of news on our active negotiations to remain quiet, which would explain why they'd go against what Romano and Falk mentioned. They'd only want info to be revealed if there was confidence in the deal getting completed. Just because personal terms were agreed didn't necessarily mean that we'd get the deal over the line. However, it did mean that we were making good progress on the transfer.
Yes it is the Prince of Nigeria and to be fair he says he will give the money back once he is able to get his own fortune out of the country
I think he is related to me . He once sent me a letter
OK bud you do your thing, listen to Romano sit on the fence and then (when it’s confirmed by all and sundry) he will type ‘here we go’ and that will prove everything you need to believe in him I’m sure.
Romano has made a mess of this saga more than once, if your such a supporter of his and you’ve followed this saga then I’m sure you already know that.
Anyway let’s focus on Sancho.
You asked me that it was the first time you heard about this. I mentioned in my post Talksport and others reported the fake news. You may not like Talksport but it is a legally operating sports radio station in Britain.Talksport?
I also said to you I will post any more links if you want. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp....mund-after-jadon-sancho-agrees-personal-terms

Whether you like them or not that is a spectrum of the British media. And they reported fake news that you never heard of. I am just bringing it to your attention that they reported it and I did not make up the story. That was my point. Happy Sancho Day.
Underrated comment.
So Jadon will probably be in (at least want) around the 200k p/w range which is roughly 50m over a 5 year contract. And his agent wants 50m to facilitate the deal. If I was Sancho I would have a talk with my agent. 2.5m for the agent seems about appropriate (5% of Sancho's deal) and MAYBE double that. I mean really, what does he bring to the table other than the obvious greed?
All that and here in the US the player pays the agent fees, why tf are the clubs taking that on? Was it one or two deals way back when and things just changed to where we are at?
So is it on again?
In fairness transfer tweets are what keep the saga going, the guy just grates on me and I think he plays the game.
Like Donkey Kong.
I always wonder what the relationship between a player and agent is like when the agent is one of the main reasons you won’t get a transfer. Not necessarily talking about this transfer but seem to hear this thing quite a lot. Do any superstar players have agents that aren’t greedy?
I just found it funny that you moaned about the fake media, then went on to tell me there are other places outside of the caf, that are indeed fake media. The fact I hadn't heard that complete made up fact about a deal being agreed & Sancho earning 310k is because I don't listen to or watch complete shite, that's all. And for the record, I didn't ask you anything.

It was for about 5 minutes where we thought a fee was sorted, but we needed to sort agent fees.
Now it turns out we haven’t agreed a fee, agent fees or wages...
It was never off.
No I think he’s good for squad depth, my concern is improving the starting 11 and no player we can purchase this summer will elevate us more than Sancho.
It's interesting to see the Undertakers have all gone quiet slating us muppets with "It's dead, move on".
The way I see it is, just because we aren't getting drip fed information, doesn't mean it's off.
Never been off
It was never off. It was only ever going to be off if Utd came out and said they are looking elsewhere or if Sancho came out and said he's staying for another year at least. Neither have happened.
We have always been sluggish with transfers. VDB was abormal. People losing their shit with over a month of the window left.
Exactly.
The problem is that even the reliable journo from Dortmund hasn't backed up Falk or Romano. Romano has gone in balls deep on this and is looking a little silly right now. He said we were in advanced negotiations with Dortmund but even the BVB fans like @do.ob laughed him off.
There was a time Di Marzio was the Godfather on here and now even he's seen as not being reliable. I think Romano is now following a similar trajectory.
Like we’ve been saying for weeks, it’s not over until we brief the media that it’s over.
Whether you agree with what Sky have put out this afternoon or not, it’s another opportunity the club had to shut it down and they haven’t.
