Summer would not be summer without all these proper muppets.
I second this. Here goes 1 or my 3 daily posts too.Summer would not be summer without all these proper muppets.
There goes 1 post of my daily 3 posts devoted happily to keep this thread alive.
Not sure why international matches matter especially with a window closing that's fast approaching -- they have agents to help push things along or not.
Yeah - its true. You'd expect United to still make significant process before tomorrow via agreeing a fee etc. But feck knows what the real obstacles are at the moment I guess.
That's the second time quantum mechanics has been mentioned in this thread, we must be getting desperate
It actually benefits us having players at their other clubs/countries for pre-season etc as if we’d signed them they wouldn’t have been back until this week. If we’d signed Sancho back in early August he wouldn’t have had any preseason due to us finishing the season so late. This week is the ideal time to sign players ahead of training with us for 10 days or so before the opening game.
I’m good thanks, still feeling more positive than negative, I think personally we are still riding it out and Dortmund looking at replacements whilst posturing for the press so they come out of it looking like they did everything they could but the money was too much to turn down.
There's dead silence on that matter, though. The last link was Depay weeks ago, he seems off to Barca now. Season starts this weekend, you'd think there should be some activity, if they were in talks with possible replacementsI’m good thanks, still feeling more positive than negative, I think personally we are still riding it out and Dortmund looking at replacements whilst posturing for the press so they come out of it looking like they did everything they could but the money was too much to turn down.
I think that works for us as well as we avoid the wages during a period where the lad would have been playing for England rather than with our own group.
Stay the course men! Sancho day shall be all the more glorious when it finally arrives
Not sure they need a direct replacement though. They've already got Brandt/Hazard/Reyna/Reus for the wide positions and Guerreiro can fill in too.
Yeah I think they are quite stocked, as per Adam-Utd’s reply. But thinking aloud, if it were me in charge at Dortmund I’d like to appease the fans with a new signing if there’s a decent acquisition available.
If they would've needed a replacement for Sancho it would already be there and training. Dortmund don't mess around with these kind of things.
I’ve always rated you Orc!
You think they will lose their best asset, and then sit on the money to have it taxed?
You forget this is Woodward and Judge in charge, efficiency isn't exactly what they're known for.
I think they'll happily bank the cash while the stadiums are closed yes, then see how it looks again in January. Anyway the window is still open for this whole month, plenty of time for action.
We'll be saying the same thing next week.

This is the guy that waited for Fellaini's release clause to expire, to then sign him later for a higher fee
Youve lost me
Fake account
Exactly. Which is why I'm hoping we set this week as an internal deadline for whether a transfer is possible. If there's no movement on it we should just target someone else.
That's true, dithering Dave with an inexperienced man in the transfer market wasn't the best pairing.
So an agreement, but not an agreement? You must be running one those twitter accs
Meaning can't see him being announced by the club but information coming out that an agreement has been made. Like with VdB, where it was known we had an agreement in place and then waited for the official announcement.So an agreement, but not an agreement? You must be running one those twitter accs
I'm surprisingly quite calm.
It’s only natural Dortmund fans will be upset with Sancho leaving.
Don't forget refusing Mourinho Maguire for £60 million, then buying him a season later for £80 million for Ole.You forget this is Woodward and Judge in charge, efficiency isn't exactly what they're known for.

Dortmund and Bundelisga fans?
If this transfer happens it was always going to be late in the window. That’s just how bigs transfers for United go. Maguire, Pogba, DiMaria all the way back to Berbatov and even Yorke were all late August most after the first match of the season had taken place.
