And Sancho too.
Bullshit. I'll believe it when I see it

What we'll actually get is Zaha for £80M and whichever of the Longstaff brothers is shittest. Sales of Pogba and Smalling will mostly cover it.
Why do you think this?Edfuckingwoodward wrote: ↑4 years ago Against all logic and my better judgement, I actually think we will get Sancho in the summer. I know I called it bullshit earlier, but if he does leave Dortmund, I think he'll come here.
We're in with a chance simply because we're one of the few clubs that might pay what Dortmund are asking for. But from a footballing perspective, Sancho would surely prefer Liverpool or City, or somewhere like Real.dozer wrote: ↑4 years agoWhy do you think this?Edfuckingwoodward wrote: ↑4 years ago Against all logic and my better judgement, I actually think we will get Sancho in the summer.

Broadly, this is why I think it'll happen. I don't see City being in for him - they won't pay 120m, and I don't think he'd go back there as he left on rather sour terms. I also think he'd need to consider the competition in their squad. Liverpool - not sure they have that cash and even if they do, would they spend it on someone who'd essentially be up against Salah for a spot? Don't think so. Arsenal don't have that cash, neither do Spurs.bman2 wrote: ↑4 years agoWe're in with a chance simply because we're one of the few clubs that might pay what Dortmund are asking for.

Wasn't he a City youth player? We'll probably be the last club he'd want to join.Edfuckingwoodward wrote: ↑4 years agoBroadly, this is why I think it'll happen.

We can offer him a starting spot every week. He'll be a big fish in a small pond in terms of commercial stuff. I believe his family is Manchester based too.
Lets see. No doubt we'll do our best to fuck it up.
