Little interest in this deal.

I can remember back in 1994 and the papers being big on Kidd going over to see both Gascoigne and Platt in Italy to reassure them we were interested when they were ready to return.

Now THAT was exciting.

the deal was worth £80m but are we certain we paid that entire fee up front?

if so, Dortmund have every right to be asking for more money but once Sancho puts on the Red #7 he becomes a huge marketing item

We did. It was one of Leicester’s stipulations iirc.

It's a £#%&!ing circus designed to keep 24hour media and @#%&!s like Goldbridge in shitchat loops and clicks

Much preferred the days when the team turned up at pre seeason friendlies with a Stuart Pearson or a Gerry Daly .

No mither ,no histrionics and no @#%&!s with a YT channel endlessly and cluelessly blurting on

We could've had instalments had we not messed them around for so long.

This will be the same. We'll overpay at the last minute.

I think, if they don't accept this latest offer then we shouldn't bother.

Far more pressing concerns.

Genuinely couldn't give a £#%&! any more. We're absolutely skint and watching this posturing and cringeworthy leaks to the press is just depressing.

Whatever we were, it's long gone and it's not coming back any time soon.

well if that's right, the bar was set for what Woodward is willing to pay up front for a player that is considered a necessary acquisition

We need forwards far more than defenders tbh

We'd have still not beaten Palace with Sancho.

Imagine the terminator at the back? we'd have won then.

That’s the spirit.

I think we need a dm more than a forward or an out and out defender tbh. Just someone who can act as a solid bridge between our defence and attack, as there’s no way Matic is up to it across a season, Fred is not good enough and all of our other midfielders prefer playing in the final third. Maybe The Scottish Player could do a job but I don’t think it’s his role. He doesn’t have the range of passing to play from deep.

How? We couldn’t score. We were on top for the bulk of the game and created nothing.

Could we use a CB? Yes absolutely but not a priority especially if Bailly can stay healthy

Talk about a DCM....only way you bring one in is if you don't bring in a forward which then requires a formation change other wise we are stuck with Mata and Lingard playing on the wing as subs...we're £#%&!ed if that happens

We desperately need a forward because we only have 3(James and Ighalo are cup players)

We absolutely need a LB to cover or take over the position from Shaw

Was never sold on Platt tbh, recall being underwhelmed at the time with that one.

er, yeah. and pogba would be world class if he concentrated and tried really hard.

what we need is balance - let the defenders defend and stop expecting the fullbacks to be our creative outlet. build the midfield and get some proper wingers and a centre forward, not a bunch of carbon copy sort of attackers who don't know when to cross, get in the box or just wrestle the centre-half.

jimmy the nose and greenwood with a winger would be better than rashford-martial-sancho.
