    Sancho left out of the last two match squads for BVB. Zorc says it is because he's ill. He's probably sick of their shit.

    I'm absolutely want the club to just pay the damn fee and get it over the line, but I completely understand not wanting to pay 120M for a BVB player and a kid who although immensely talented, has proven nothing outside of that league.

    I just don't see how it's a huge risk, especially considering some of the business we have done over the last 7 years.

    Our business over the past 7 years has been terrible and only now are we fixing it with Bruno and DvB.

    Why would you want to continue that?

    I still think we get Sancho. BvB will get to blame Sancho for forcing a move out, and we will "save" 10m in easily achievable bonuses and both clubs get to save face; and easily baited fans will claim victory.

    Hard pass on Cavani unless it is a 1+1 deal with no agent fees and 150k wages.

    Cavani will be a repeat of our terrible business from the past 7 years.

    To me signing someone like Sancho isn't doing that. Just the very nature of his signing and the apparent price on hand. At 120m he feels like a steal, especially when you consider all the other factors with him. His age, he's English, he actually doesn't hate Manchester.

    Also in the realms of "fixing" the situation, how can Cavani be the answer, outside of a deal like you suggested. Though the quotes I have seen said a decent length deal, at 10m euros a year. So....

    He's not Zlatan. i hope he does well, but this seems so odd, especially with how we are trying to play. If we really is on decent wages, how does he not start?

    Amazing how Bruno fixed your midfield so immediately despite everything being Pogbas fault for years according to pundit land

    I liked the bit about how do you play them together, like they function the same in the midfield.

    The Cavani signing would be a disaster. It would be us falling back into the same trap that broke our wage structure in the first place. Not to mention he's a guy thats struggled with injuries lately. It's going to be fun having a guy that's a depth piece being top 3 at the club in terms of wages.

    We'll need to see the particulars of the deal but if we've accepted the terms Romano suggested, then you really have to wonder about the wisdom of it. Especially when we've made a big show of things being different and have finally managed to get rid of the albatross around our neck that Sanchez was.
    Cavani is a decent player but he's getting up there in age and he's still very injury prone. As a backup option, he could be fine particularly with Ighalo leaving in Jan. He should push Martial, which could be a good thing .
    Provides Ole with some options but let's hope he does not push Martial out of the starting CF spot (unless it becomes actually needed). Better get Sancho still though...

    Cavani is Falcao 2.0. He's a past it, big name that has been offering himself around Europe for months with no takers and he finally found a club dumb enough to bite...and we're that club.

    Being reported by Stoney now too. So this is happening.

    ******** every time I think we've hit the lowest we can in terms of bad decisions we outdo ourselves. We're the worst run club in Europe.

    So we're paying 10mil in agent fees on a free agent, yet we're quibbling on a few millions over Telles and Sancho. Alright then...

    Edit: His wages are said to be very high also (200k/wk -Ps- according to Jim White).

    Classic Glazer / Woodward move - dodge the big investments (keep net spending low to maintain dividends) and pay a has-been name a big salary to keep the mainstream fans happy.

    We are totally fixing our wage structure and how we pay for players. Which is why we are spending 30m+ on Cavani, and apparently won't pay Dortmund a reasonable sum for a 20 year old. :oops:

    I don't understand the idea that people think it's the media that are the issue with United transfers. That United fans just buy into all the BS. We produce actual BS that is the legitimate issue. Prime example right here.

    A 1+1 deal at 200k isn’t a disaster. We’ll see what the agent fees end up being.

    What you get when there no real plan and you have bankers/accountants making football decisions as opposed to actual football people.

    Where are you getting 1+1, and how is 200k a week even for a year not an issue?

    That money could have been used for Sancho deal, no?

    Does Cavani change the way United lines up and who hits the bench? Or do Tony and Rashford flank him?
