The Dortmund reddit fans are interesting on the question of selling Sancho this year...

"Let me pose the question back- What are the chances Man Utd would let go of Martial or Pogba if Real or Barca came offered some insane 100m+ at the end of the window? Not high because of the massive hole it would create in your team with no chance in filling before the end of the window. The difference between selling him this summer and next summer financially is minimal but the difference between having a Sancho this season and not is huge from a sporting perspective. Doesn’t make any business sense to let him go, we aren’t poor that we need the cash."

Kind of makes sense tbh?

It does to an extent, but assuming that the covid situation doesn't worsen of course.

However I have a feeling Sancho will push the club as soon as the bid is put in. I reckon that's going to be the difference.
 
Custis was likening the tweet's information to baking a cake. He's a hungry twat.

Not really, they've probably got a replacement lined up ready to go ASAP if it happens, they've known about us wanting him for months now.

Even if they have to wait until January they've still got Reus/Haaland/Hazard/Reyna/Reinier to cover the front positions.
 
The only reason this transfer will happen at this late stage is if Sancho pushes for it. If he is happy to stay at Dortmund for another year then it makes no sense to sell.
 
Sorry to be so negative, but this is not happening. Journos desperately trying to create clicks as transfer window is quiet.

I really hope I’m wrong!
 
Not put my head in this thread for a while, have we signed him while nobody was looking?
 
When City are willing to spend 65m on Dias its no surprise Dortmund are asking 120m for Sancho, Covid or no covid.

Dude, the reason why Dortmund ask for 120M is because Ed paid 80M for Harry fecking Maguire 12 months ago. Covid or no covid, that’s a decision we have to live with for decades. Every finance manager at every club wity a hot commody knows this, everyone of them will reject Ed until he pays up. Dortmund know we have money and that we only want him, they know Ed is a sucker, they have no risk here and probably laugh about it every day.

Fairytales don't happen in real life.
 
I think we'll pay what they want. Which is what we've been prepared to do all window in my opinion.

Us/Dortmund have just disagreed on the structure of the payments.

This will probably be another Woodward masterstroke like the AWB deal

Yeah it's the only way I can see it being done, think IF it happens will be something like 90m first instalment 20m second and 10m third but could easily end up just being two fixed instalments instead.

The main difference is that Dortmund rely on player sales to turn a profit each year, we don't.
 
Is there any indication how much we are going to bid and what the expected response will be? It feels like we're being set up for United to lowball them with and £80m bid which they will swiftly reject. Refuse to get properly sucked into this again unless more details come out.

Sounds like someone's worried enough to type all that out.
 
What s happened ?
Is this on ?
Howard Nurse said we're going to test Dortmund's resolve.

I think it's full blown muppet season now it's the last week to be honest. Any joker can say anything during the last week and there's not weeks of abuse leading up to the close of the window. Now it either happens or it doesn't this week and people forget who said what.

Player with PL experience that's improved our defence and played every game? Yeah he was overpriced because we waited to buy him after he had a great World Cup, but i don't share your hate for him. I would have been fine with 60m in 2017 given that City previously spent 50m on Stones.
 
Nothing has changet. Dortmund want £108 million. Pay that and the deal is on. Don't, and stop wasting everyones time. It really is that simple.

Not really though. Benfica are buying Otamendi for 15m, let’s be real, he’s worth nowhere near that amount. So City pay an inflated fee for Dias and receive an inflated fee for Otamendi for accounting purposes, which puts Dias’ actual fee at around the 50m mark.

Paying 80m for Maguire is probably what’s going to feck us over in the market for a while.

This has been the least muppettastic window in years. I will be beyond stunned if they step up in the last few days. These latest briefings stink of an attempt to be able to say 'we tried, blame the mean Germans!'
