Definitely just pushing this out because of the Ziyech knews.Tweet

He's the sort of player you blow your budget for. We made the mistake of not getting Hazard under Fergie, we cannot miss out on Sancho.£119m?
That sounds like the budget pretty much blown in one
Who will bid for him?Much depends on what Sancho wants. If he's open to going to multiple clubs, then Dortmund can start a bidding war and drive up the price. On the other hand, if he's set on going to a specific club, Dortmund can only hold out for so much. Next summer they'll have even less leverage, and if sancho is upset at not getting sold, he could poison the locker room.
According to Sky Germany? So I guess we can't say Woodward is feeding the press in this case.Tweet

I believe that to be very realistic.Poch, Grealish, Sancho.
Nice dream.
Think it's from Sky Germany mate, you think it's a Woodward brief?Don't listen. Woodward out.
Real Madrid, PSG and Liverpool have also been linked (as have Chelsea, although that must now be less likely).Who will bid for him?
I hope not Liverpool!
I can see Real getting Mbappe and PSG turning to Sancho to be fair.Real Madrid, PSG and Liverpool have also been linked (as have Chelsea, although that must now be less likely).
We will surely need to qualify for next season's Champions League, to have any chance of landing the player.
Offering CL football is overstated when it comes to buying players, it’s not that big of a deal. Liverpool were able to build a good squad while not in CL.Real Madrid, PSG and Liverpool have also been linked (as have Chelsea, although that must now be less likely).

Only if we get top 4I believe that to be very realistic.
According to the BBC, Sancho ruled out an impending move to United last summer, when it became clear we would not be playing CL football. His priorities might have changed in the last 10 months, but if we are up against PSG/Liverpool/Real Madrid for his signature, we better make sure we can offer top level football to him.Offering CL football is overstated when it comes to buying players, it’s not that big of a deal.

I think we'll sign Sancho without Champions League football.Only if we get top 4

I don’t share your confidence but hopefully you’re right.I think we'll sign Sancho without Champions League football.

You’re not only in, you’re in til the end of August and you know itThis is going to be one of those long threads, isn't it?
Not sure i can take one more...
Sky Germany are a pretty crap source but I'd personally pay more attention to what Matt Law said in his latest piece.Sky Germany talk so much crap, I'm sure we're interested obviously, but there's a reason they're using our name, its great for clicks.
Chelsea looked like a likely destination. But then they agreed a deal for a different right-sided attacker (with reports suggesting that they had been priced out of the Sancho deal). I don't see Ziyech and Sancho in the same side next season.Why would he go to Pool / City and be a backup to Salah / Mahrez / B. Silva? Maybe you can argue he can play himself into the City lineup but I don't think he'll be replacing either Salah / Mane for Pool.
PSG (if Mbappe leaves) makes the most sense, but again, they haven't really won the CL with their strongest team. Neymar's career has gone downhill since going there. It's a big fish in small pond kind of situation, I don't think any ambitious player would want to go there at this point. He's also english, so the PL is an additional draw.
I think Chelsea might be a bigger contender for this transfer than Pool (CL football, London, great english core with CHO, Abraham, Mount etc.). I hope we blow them out of the water when it comes to financials and that'll give us the advantage?
Yeah he's generally pretty good, especially with Chelsea matters isn't he. Or am I confusing him with someone else.Sky Germany are a pretty crap source but I'd personally pay more attention to what Matt Law said in his latest piece.
He's probably the best source for Chelsea. And he said yesterday that Chelsea were looking at the cheaper alternative to Sancho in ziyech due to strong interest from the likes of Manchester United.Yeah he's generally pretty good, especially with Chelsea matters isn't he. Or am I confusing him with someone else.
It's been reported that he's open to a move to United by Ornstein and afew other well respected Journos.To be fair, it's hardly news that we're keen on him, everyone and their mother knows at this point. I'm more interested on whether he's keen on us.
