Yep. Was it ever on. If you look through all the Sky, Fabrizio, Mikel,, etc smoke and bullsh*t  the situation has never really been any different. He only ever wanted the bag, but didn’t want to live in Saudi. We couldn’t give him the bag so it never was on. 

I think it's an obligation if certain targets are achieved, which is at least something that can be manipulated

£23m is a good fee. 4 years ago.id have been ecstatic to sign Sancho, but feels unnecessary tbh. At least we will hopefully see even less of Mudryk.

Still don't get it, if the Sterling deal doesn’t happen. I thought the target was to reduce the wage bill not increase it.

He is better that Mudryk. That’s for sure. Problem is we still have Mudryk.

Nothing been said about his 300k pw salary and what we are paying now.

He mustve took a wage cut, or I doubt it would've happened tbh.

I wouldn't assume anything with the dickwads running us now.

I surmised all this was the case on Monday Sconnie if you look back up the thread ... 🙂

I am really not enthusiastic about this deal in any way shape or form even a loan. five mins to get it all finished?

£23m, I’m ok with it. He is a million times better than Mudryk too. 

Apparently its a done deal,  must have taken a pay cut or United subsidizing like they did w Dortmund

The problem is not his quality as a player but his lack of discipline (reported he’s late for training, for example) and his laziness. We already went over that with Felix, he’s done alright in the first game, but we’ll see how he fares over the season. And we are gambling again with Sancho. Not required for the risks that are involved.

Based on our managers recent  conferences any player that’s does not work hard won’t be selected……so we’ll never see him in a blue shirt based on his recent history

Which presumably we're also in the process of doing for Arsenal. So I am not seeing where the financial gain is here.

And we’ll see Mudryk for a while as that seems to be the board’s orders (I don’t know why Maresca would play him otherwise)… The board seem to have a shopping addiction and buy without any plan whatsoever.

big concern for me is that he wasnt good enough for united who are bad. I also worry about who from our attackers will track back and defend. Why have two ineffective players when you dont have to spend anymore and work with the talent that's there. We have signed Stirling, Felix, Sancho, Neto. Are you telling me Sancho brings something else to the party these guys dont already? Which cobham grad will we have to sell to finance this? His transfer raises far more questions than offers answers. 

If he comes, ok, but where is he playing? 

I am absolutely buzzing about signing Sancho. You’d have laughed at me 2 years ago if I said we’d get him for 25m!

He was one of most highly rated players in Europe just a couple of years ago and he did ok for Dortmund last season, getting to champions league final.

If we manage to get the best out of him this season, imagine the satisfaction when we know we have an 25m obligation in place.

If he reaches his Dortmund years level, we are absolutely pissing ourselves laughing. Great business.

Ziyech, Sarr, we are not the best with late paperwork. Still a chance we messed this up.

Where’s that been reported?

Why didn’t he reach the Dortmund levels at Man U? Maybe German defences made him look good, like they did with Werner and Havertz! 

Quietly, this slipped under everyones radar. If we were serious as a club recruiting, we could have done something like this for a proven premierhsip level player. Wilfred Zaha: Galatasaray - Lyon 3 million quid for the loan. 

 

Sancho problem is that a lot of people see him more like a Vinicius/Mbappe whereas his game is closer to Nkunku/Felix

Not sure the point of this transfer honestly but I guess it gives us more squad depth

It's done.
