We probably thought we still had a chance with Sancho, we're that daft.
Ousmane Dembele

So we are going to buy :
Dembele for 60M.
A.Traore for 30M.
That urugyan kid for 10M.
Cavani for 10M agent fee.
But we cant cough up 120M for Sancho.
Absolutely pathetic from Woodward and co. Why the hell isnt he being sacked?

If it’s Ole that wants the player, then back the manager and get him
This is the one the one transfer they need to get over the line IMO or we'll be watching Emmerdale during the week next year.
Who's going to sack him?
i dont think Dortmund would sell now, i think they would like to spend some of that money as well. We were just never taking their deadline seriously and thought they would cave in. Now we have to look elsewhere
Not laughed this much since Maguire dragged down Luke Shaw yesterday.We are pure comic gold this window.
Maybe because Sancho is only one player and the club is not willing to put their eggs entirely into one basket and that’s 120M on a single player? I get your point though, most would prefer only Sancho
Buying him for 60m would be so very us
I think Barcelona will cave and loan for a season without the contract extension. We’ll pay 10m fee. They sign depay.55m on a player who has played 30 games in 22 months, has an injury that means he may never play a full season again, doesn’t want to be here unless he gets a risk free 50m quid
Your first mistake was thinking that we have serious people in charge who wouldn't leave our most important/pressing pieces of business to the last possible second
I want him. So talented and exciting. Take the risk I say.
It's typical Woodward carry on. Has he delivered any of Oles targets in this window? Like with LVG and Jose 3rd and 4th choice players brought in instead.
Less than four hours to go till the window shuts for International transfers.
£55m for a player who has flopped at Barca & barely kicked a ball in a year?

Since when do agent fees start going into transfer fee lists?
Liverpool paid £30m in agent fees last season.
We haven't purchased Dembélé for 60m but even if we did whether you can do it depends on how much money you actually have to pay today. For example there is a big difference between having to pay 120m cash today and 50m today plus 50 other millions depending on bonuses and over the next 36 months.
Traore is 18 million plus 9 million add ons.
15m for telles too
I think we all know the answer is because we fecked up the negotiations.
Where is it stated that Utd want to buy him?
This reeks of desperation. Falcao and ADM all over again.
If we get him on loan or cheap, its not so bad.

Get in there. We're deluding ourselves if we think we have a chance of Sancho next summer.
Another potential signing that goes by the wayside in the wake of our woeful Sancho negotations and for who? Instead Bayern swiftly snap on Douglas Costa on loan.
They're more than welcome to him. I'd still not take Costa.
Bargain
We might need you to snap some legs off for Dembele
Choupo-Moting on a free is also a nice piece of business too.
If and its a big if, he stays injury free. He is better than Sancho.
Argh! If we could get the price down a bit it’s a risk worth taking. €45-50 million and he’s worth that. It’s a fair price. He’s risky as fk but the upside could be huge. We won’t lose more than half if we sell him on. If we can keep him fit, big if, he would instantly be one of our best players.
Pilger, Dunc & Eckner v the rest then by the looks of it. They are seriously outnumbered but admire their guts

I wonder what the reaction on redcafe would have been if we’d signed him on a free.
If Ole is seriously asking the board to buy him for 60m that's very very questionable indeed.
IMO it's madness to pay 120M for Sancho, for that matter, for any player at the time we have issues almost everywhere. We have to learn from Pogba, he has been liability for the team despite he costed us a fortune.
I’d be happy.
Not Sancho-happy, but somewhat happy still.
He also has a terrible injury record and they got him on last day of transfers after failing to sign Hudson-Odoi for the 2nd time.
