What the poster meant is that young players are inconsistent and you want at least to have another option. If Sancho in the period of inconsistent form, Greenwood is available for an option to challenge or take his spot and this also applies to Rashford & Martial.
Jadon Sancho| Staying at Dortmund for now

Don't think you offering to blow someone is going to swing this for us mate.
Raphael Honigstein in his piece on Jude Bellingham reported the below about Sancho in The Athletic.
“Sancho, a player who arrived as a Manchester City academy graduate in 2017 and is set to return to the red half of Manchester for £110 million this summer or for a little less next year...”

need him
Reports have been consistent throughout, we pay what they want or he doesn't move this window. Problem is, I don't see anyone paying that fee.
It's a matter of when not if and honestly I think we'd get him even if the unthinkable happened and we didn't qualify for the CL.
Leaks from Dortmund. I think we'll get him and it will be less than 100m.
The stars are aligning, this is so happening.
I think this is our only piece of busines this summer, but maybe we can squeeze in a CB if we get rid of Smalling, Jones and Rojo.

This will happen the the price will shock everyone. £70m+ various add ons. Price will be reported at about £95m
inside scoop here. Best mates with Sancho’s sisters ex’s new girlfriends dog groomer.

The Muppetiers are saying that the story about CL football is BS.
See, and the sources just keep coming. Dealio Done.
He could be really good
I'm not so sure. Dortmund are notoriously quite stubborn with these things and we are notoriously quite bad at negotiating lower prices.
That source does say possibly next year though
Yeah some in the 'press are opportunistic pieces of trash'
It is indeed a thing and don't be surprised to see more stats that are currently used in the NHL appear in Football, there are game mechanics that are similar in Hockey and Football but Hockey is more advanced when it comes to advanced stats. So for example there is a point where goals will have primary and secondary assist providers, the NHL has them since the 30s.So pre-assists are thing now
Soon there will be pre pre-assists too.
Football could also learn a thing or two about fisticuffs from the NHL. This would improve the game immensely.
Yeah and hopefully some midfield depth if we can sell Lingard & Sanchez too
I tend to think that it's more about how confident he can be that we are moving forward the right way and will quickly become a force again. So even if we just missed out on CL qualification, if we finish the season strongly and it looks like we're going to smash it in easily next season then that will hopefully be enough. Last season we didn't just miss out on CL but we collapsed badly at the end. Honestly, we basically spent the entire season in a state of collapse and it was only that brilliant run we went on when Ole first took over that had our season in a remotely respectable position.
Sancho just wouldn't want to be in a situation like Pogba was where he joined us and we proceeded to be fairly shit for three years and played poor football with a badly out-of-touch manager. And speaking of Pogba, he's probably in the same situation with his contract negotiations. If he's now confident we're coming good he'll hopefully sign the new one.

So sounds like the £80-90m + 20m in add ons we've seen floated around would = the €110-120m figure Dortmund can brag about
If we are only planning the one transfer this summer I’d have no problem with us overpaying and inflating the market for everyone else.
Not sure Boris Johnson has the legs for it anymore mate.
The market is probably the same, a change might occur in a couple of seasons if the economy hasnt fired up again.
He needs to work on his German to English translation
He’s got a mean tackle if I remember correctly.
But he can be a WC goalkeeper. He can catch all the BS.
Absolutely certain that signing anyone else is dependent on money raised from player sales
I think actually if we dont get CL we may be forced to pay up to get him. But if we get CL, then we will try to haggle price down using Sancho's interest.

So they are 'excremental proposals?'
None would be in for him next summer
Better than Phil Jones for sure
Ask his numerous women
1) Woodward is and was never pro-activ act in wise forseeing, he only reacts. Look at transfers like a 20 Million loan of Falcao or other stupid decisions. He had to spend so much, cause he has no clue (what football we want to play, who we need therefor, which coaches would be perfect, which prospect could fit in our philosophy and system..). Compare this to other clubs, you will have a hard time finding a person who will say Woodward made the best deals and pro-activ moves for his club and got a vision for the future, compared to other clubs.
2) Oh now you make it a bit to easy, no? Last example is Haaland. You think this was easy to get him? Aks Woodward and then think again.
3)I won't argue with you if a DoF is necessary or not. This is discussed thousand times in here and if you are one of the person you think youre club doesn't need one, fine. I think the whole development of United and falling far behind Liverpool and Shity proofes that United needs a DoF desperatly, since years. The whole structure is so outdated, all the mess Woodward could create the years after SAF is based on that.
And about the whole "no trophys, your players you get wins you nothing" argument: It was well described by a other german poster (a Bayern fan indeed) what was the path of Dortmund and how well they are climbing up the ladder, step by step. Nobody could have imagined 5 years ago that Dortmund are the club nr 1 now when it comes to world-class talents like Sancho or Haaland. Nobody could have imagined that we can afford a Witsel or got the atraction to get such players we are getting now. And we are not at the end of this development.
And yeah, we are wanting to speed up the transfer. Of course. Cause we have targets in sight, cause there is a plan, we dont need years to know what we need and how it should develop and fit together.
What does the last bit even mean? We’re only gonna bid if we qualify?
Think so. It's a bit broken English but he's basically saying If United qualify for the CL then Sancho is expecting us to bid £120m to sign him this summer.
Yes. Dortmund don't expect us to bid for Sancho if we miss out on the CL.
In those circumstances, I wouldn't expect us to, either.
In those circumstances I wouldn’t expect him to move here even if we bid.
