No way we should be paying that. I think he's a massive risk even at half that price with his injuries.
I think everyone knew that, despite our financial strength compared to most clubs, that we won’t be able to spend big this summer. If the league gets voided imagine how much tv money we’d lose out as well.
If only one signing happens, then it has to be Sancho. That will give us balance all over the pitch and some more x factor to get us over the line in tight games.
We can start improving the other positions att a later date or with the youth players.
Talking down the market, highlighting the financial negatives for everyone (note including us). He’s just trying to talk down the prices. Sure beats his previous where he would hold a press conference announcing how rich we are lol
I feel we’ll get Sancho now more than ever.
So the club thats reportedly losing 9-10m per day is Man United.
Well, the bigger they come the harder they fall.
Lol anyone who thought Utd were going to spend £330m on two players this summer of all summers should be sterilised

I reckon the opposite for the following reasons, and the same applies to all potential big money transfers:
- All clubs aren’t going to be cash poor and all clubs are going to be worried about their mid-term financial futures. These will be times for consolidating and saving, where possible.
- If you have a high value asset, it’s a universal rule that you don’t look to realise it at the nadir of an historic financial downturn unless you absolutely have to. The transfer market will be at its weakest point for a decade this summer. By next summer, clubs’ spending power might be back up by over 100%.
- Clubs won’t want to make big money moves, even if they can, because from a PR perspective it will look terrible: middle of a very serious recession, people even in the developed world living hand to mouth, then a club looks to splash £100m on a player. It’s a PR disaster.
What I expect to see is clubs using the opportunity to re-secure their most valuable assets, meaning new long-term contracts for high value players.

Glad we got Bruno when we did.
*All clubs are going to be cash poor
It works both ways. If clubs are cash poor they may well need to sell assets and a club like Dortmund are very good at selling top players and replacing them with cheaper options. I can absolutely see Dortmund cashing in someone like Sancho and replacing him with my main man Ferran Torres who is about a year away from being available on a free - so Valencia may well agree to a price now that Dortmund will pay that benefits both parties.
The strongest clubs financially will do well from this and I’m sure a few big deals will go through as cash poor clubs will cash in the only assets they have.
There was a lot of the word ‘cash’ above. Hungover. Sorry.

Agree with this Robb. I reckon we will still go after Sancho. He would likely be the only bug signing, but I think we will still try.

It all depends on cashflow.
If Dortmund (and this applies to every club) really need to sell to be paying wages, they’ll sell.
Otherwise, they’d be clinically stupid to do so this summer. (Unless, of course, we’re clinically stupid enough to offer them £100m...)

Tbh I don't know but read some stories online (I know) that its United.
Deals will happen. It’ll just be a case of does the parent club need to sell or can they afford to wait 12 months in hope the market stabilises.
Whilst some social commentators might see clubs spending millions on players irresponsible right now, many more will enjoy the escapism of football.
Seemed common sense really. With the 30-40 million to service the debt talk of kane and sancho is insane.
I can't see the man u owners spending 250+ million after all this.

Liverpool are a big club,
I dunno where the Kane AND Sancho talk came from. I feel that Sancho was always an us or Chelsea thing and with Chelsea buying Ziyech and possibly Coutinho I think it’s advantage United for a Sancho deal.
But Kane was probably always too expensive at £200 million. If we got taken over by the Saudis and money was literally no object of course I’d want both but it was never gonna be both this summer if at all

I think it'd make sense for Dortmund to offer him crazy wages, with an exit clause for a season later, where the market may have perked up a bit and there's more of a bidding war.
With corona I think only the desperate will sell at lower than current market rate and even the biggest clubs aren't going to want to pay below market value. I can't see a big club being able to justify a 100 mill + player to be honest. I think lots of transfers will take a back seat for at least 12 months.
Unless Dortmund are desperate for cash I can't see it happening this summer.
