NikkiCFC 8,529 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 City have Sterling, Mahrez and B. Silva. They lost Sane but replacing him with Torres. Always 4 great wingers. Should we get another one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fact every kid in the world supported someone when he was little like Pulisic with United. Yup. If we had coughed up the 120m he would be standing there and staring his lifelong love for Chelsea. Very few players end up at their boyhood favourite clubs so who can blame them being flexible with their affections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly taking the piss at that point. Strike and killer1257 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Dortmund show them the finger, they will get the same money for Sancho next year anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be amazing. I can see Grealish flopping big time there. he has always been overrated and he has a problematic attitude off the pitch. Them throwing away 70m for that dude would be immense for us in the long term. killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 19,379 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Ah, I see Man United have done the old "let's brief a bunch of journo's to pressure the selling club" trick. They're trying to scare Dortmund into lowering their demands or else they'll miss out on a huge fee. This'll be done within a couple of days. United will pay up.

Jase 43,479 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Is Sancho desperate to leave Dortmund this summer? Last I read he is fine with staying for another season at least, although that was some time back. If that hasn't changed, then United really have no legs to stand on here. Dortmund have all the advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Also, has anyone noticed a certain big Premier League club has been rather quiet in the transfer market, so far at least? That club is playing with fire for next season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dortmund have all the advantage. I don't think he was initially. But if reports are to be believed United are offering him an absolutely absurd salary (something like €18m per year) so he probably really wants to go now. Like Havertz, though, if he stays at his club for 1 more season he'll probably have several other great options. This is why it's absolutely imperative that ourselves and United get these deals done this summer because our chances fall wayyyy down if we wait.

Yep, exact same thing happened with Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire last season. In the end United ended up paying the full asking price anyway, this is just another case of them trying to flex their muscles. Don't think Dortmund will go lower on the asking price. They've been clear about it for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So... This is how you know this big briefing came directly from United. They're desperate to prevent another Alexis situation where the whole club is destabilized by them giving him galactic wages. They want to soften the headlines and keep Sancho's wages on the downlow. Nero and Strike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
