Thanks mate.
I guess tomorrow shall be the proof in the pudding as to wether he is in the Dortmund squad then.
Getting mighty close to crunch time muppets.
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

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?

It's all the same stuff we've read multiple times before.
He really is, been chatting shit non stop this window.
No. Look at the way he reports deals related to United and those related to Liverpool. He’s unprofessional.
A bit far fetched... But what if Chong has a Sancho type season in bundesliga?
It s early days but my impression is that teams in lower half of bundesliga are not that strong and someone like Chong might strive over there.
Shall we get a stop gap right winger like Bale/Costa and wait till next Summer to see how Chong a doing?

Seeing a few stories now on us moving on. Wouldn't surprise me given the snails pace at which we've moved in this deal and made barely any progress.
ChongIt’s good we’ve started looking at alternatives one week before the season starts after being relaxed and doing sod all for 2 months. Definitely on the ball as always.

Nobody outside of the club really knows what’s happening. Don’t worry yourself over it.
Oh noes, Redcafe Muppet slayer @ehsanul has spoken.
Thanks for your input Captain Serious.
Most people in the club also don't seem to have a clue what Woodward and his cohort are doing as well.
I’m not worried, I’m convinced it’s all part of the fun and games to get Dortmund to reduce their fee. We’re all in on Sancho. Problem is despite what we say about Bale/Costa Dortmund know that we are bluffing.
Explain.
Isn't this the same stuff that's been about for a few days now?? Pretty sure we're just going through the usual stages of a United transfer.
All we need now is for another club to come in for him and for us to big the full amount as a result and we've come full circle
This is what happens when you wait three weeks till the end of a window to approach a club.
Whoever is in charge of our approach to this transfer needs looking at.

Hope you're right mate.
Why is it when a piece of negative news comes out, even if its someone who posts known BS, we all seem to believe it and go into meltdown, but when anything positive comes out, its crap and fake news etc.
Pretty sure I've read somewhere that Mike McGrath is unreliable, but I could be wrong

We are in the final muppet test now. Will you pass?
Can’t wait to see him play for us.
Can’t wait to see him play for us.
He will be starting for us on Saturday.
You realise there are other wingers in Germany that don’t have “sancho like” seasons
this is such a weird thing to consider. Why don’t the Bayern guys get more goals and assists than sancho if it was that easy?What tier is Mike McGrath?
Just a thought. Don't we sell ourselves on the impact of our online presence (I.e. how many clicks per day/hour/minute we generate)
Do you think this is (just let me put my helmet on before saying this) woodwards business genius as a big transfer story that runs the entire summer will generate billions of page views and clicks across the Web.
Just look at our fan base reaction to every bit of news. To maximise its impact best strategy would be to drag soemthing out till end of window then complete. (Obviously this is the opposite of best practice from a football perspective)

I dont mind us getting priced out, its the failure to acknowledge this early thats frustrating. It has a knock on effect on future negotiations too.
Nonsense. United will pay. Delay is Dortmund replacement announcement/signature.
It's probably because you can save 2 million on wages for a high profile signing, and the club has time to talk to sponsors.
Also I'm sure there might be reasons for marketing reasons.
There's something called the peak-end-rule in psychology which is used in customer service and marketing.
I'd rather the deal be done immediately like all fans, but saving money on wages and also drawing out a transfer to gather views/clicks is not as bad as it seems either.
Heartbreak tier
Agreed, lack of a clear plan, when we've been chasing this guy for more than a year.
Oh you're back. What's at stake this time?
Screams of the same tweets before we announced the Bruno signing. With ‘United won’t pay up to Sporting’s demands, ‘United priced out of Fernandes’ and all that
It’s still so obviously on.
Yeah i mentioned this before. Nowadays that absolutely is at play imho.
I’ve defended Utd to high heavens and even defended Woodward and the glaziers but if we have used this whole summer to try and get Sancho and fail without having a viable alternative on the wings then I’m done and I’ll happily join the anti glazier protests. I understand that in this market Sancho is a difficult player to get and if we have to walk away I’ll be gutted but I’ll understand but what I can’t stomach is how much time we have taken to come to that realisation. If we go into the season as we are we will be better but nowhere near the top.
I just hope and pray we can somehow get this done even when it is starting to look unlikely.

Calm down fellow muppets. This is definitely on.
It’s a good job we’re getting Sancho then.
It was never and never will be off, chief.
We haven’t had any original stories in this saga for about 5 weeks.
I remember almost exactly the same stuff coming out about Maguire and Fernandes. Obviously the club might actually give up on it, but that doesn’t mean much I don’t think.
I genuinely will jump for joy if we do!
We literally had one a few days ago confirming the agent fees and personal terms were no longer a problem and progress had been made.
