We've had enough of those sort of signings.
We need to save our money for gamechangers. If Sancho can't happen this summer, we need to either move to an A player for another position that needs upgrading, or come back in future.
we need options in attacking areas. Our lack of depth is what is hurting us.Ole currently turns to the bench, see perrera, lingard and Mata (can’t run) looking Up at him!!

for the right price why shouldn’t we be interested. Decent player for the left and right. In a way you would want both sancho and him.

Yet we signed James, Ighalo ,extended Mata.
Point is, they will play until we get our primary target. After that, we can. either sell or they can be our backup.

Lewis/Telles/Reguilon/Ajax kid - 20-25m
Gabriel/ Monaco kid / others - 25-30m
VDB or Thiago or others - 35-40.
Sarr or Brooks or any talented right winger - 30-35m

Will just hit about 120-130m. We will have couple of sales which would nicely put us on 90-100m net spend.

Torino want to keep Cristian Ansaldi, but Atalanta are interested in acquiring him. The player himself is waiting for an offer from Atalanta in order to work under his former head coach again.

Much prefer bringing Ronnie back as a stop gap for Sancho (vs Bale or Dembele) .
Would be the perfect bridge, and he might even inspire us to a title win!
(But he'd have to take a big pay cut)

They can do one. They are a relegated club that need to get real with their valuations for their players. We're not just going to come out flat and lay 20m for our first transfer for a player that's intended to provide cover. We offered that price as a starting negotiation, they came back with a ridiculous demand because they thought they could fleece us it but now they're upset because we moved to plan B instead. Be interesting to see how much they quote clubs for Buendia, Cantwell, Godfrey and good luck to them keeping them happy where they are like with Lewis.

It's Juve, wouldn't surprise me if they wanted to make their money back on him.

As a general sentiment I think you're right, but this is our RW we're talking about. Greenwood is the first guy to look promising there in what, 10 years?

We at least need a Sarr type this year to provide some competition / rotation, as James looks half the player out there and Chong looks to be off on loan.

I think Sarr would be ideal personally.

Meh. Think we need to plan for the future. He’ll end up at PSG if he goes anywhere.

We should be in there getting him in for an option at LB for 17-18 million. Shaw can’t stay fit and Williams isn’t in his natural side. It would continue our long tradition of Northern Irishmen in the squad too.

How about pay what they're asking then considering we could get 10 years out of a world class player? While you're at, maybe ask the Glazers to stop taking huge dividends so we can better invest in the squad, win more things and make even more money?

Planning for the future is Sancho.
But if we can't get him this summer, I'd rather we put in a stop gap and try again next summer, rather than settle for someone of less long term quality.

Notice how, now that these idiots think Sancho is off the cards, they have no idea what to talk about in relation to United. Just goes to show the whole thing was made up.
The lack of scepticism surrounding the (money sucking) Glazers spending £100m on a single player during a pandemic for a position where a generational talent has just had his breakthrough season has been surprising.

(As expected, they're putting their focus on Havertz and may conduct the rest of their business later; so much for conducting transfers in parallel.)
Makes sense. Havertz position is not a priority, in fact if he can't be had highly likely we do not sign anyone else in that position, he is simply seen as an opportunity that can't me passed if attainable. Funds are not unlimited and with Ziyech and Werner already incoming other positions are on hold as the players to be targeted in them are likely different depending on whether the budget is £90m lighter or not.

Presume you’re talking about Greenwood here, he won’t be playing on the wing for much longer. He’s a striker.

In his interview with RMC Sport, PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi said that both Neymar and Mbappe will remain at PSG for a long time.

Translation:
Extend Neymar? Yes, of course. He and Neymar will never be sold.

Yeah, I can see why they'd go after him this season. Next season, Bayern would go after him if he were still at Leverkusen.

Interestingly, one can say the same about Havertz with regards to Mount.

Yeah, that's not going to happen. Let's say they won the CL this year, Mbappe carrying on there would be an anti-climax. And if they don't win, a last hurrah I suppose. They won't want to see Mbappe leave on a free and if he's serious about Madrid (childhood fan) he won't renew his deal.

Neymar probably doesn't have too many options given his age, price and wages.
