Dortmund love to make their players turn into the bad guy to get a move. Dembele, Auba both had to skip training to get a move. I wouldn't be surprised if Sancho has to put in a request or start skipping training too.

All so the club can say they tried to keep their players and make their fans happy.

What’s wrong with that? Man U were given a date to reach an agreement that date seems to have lapsed and the price hasn’t been met.

I just think it's bad business between the club and their player. I get they don't want to lose him but I would hope if it was a Tottenham player and he told the club he wanted to move, the club would try to sell him without making him out to be the bad guy.

Nothing to do with United, I'm talking about just BvB and Sancho. It was always dumb of BvB to put the "deadline" there anyways. Everyone knows it meant nothing. Will they say no if United pay the asking price today? The deadline is past so in their terms, they won't be selling.

Well when Modric didn't like the chicken badge anymore we told him to put his head down and stay another season, he ended up at Real Madrid, sometimes it's best for the player to stay.

I don't think it's bad business really, Dortmund know Utd can pay the money so were playing the game of bluff. If Utd wanted him that much they should have paid the asking price.

They'll probably end up buying him for more, now.

They won't sell him even if man utd pay the asking price now. It's what good clubs do.. they wanted him gone before preseason.. Now that preseason started, they don't want anymore transfer rumbling going on.. That's why the deadline... Now man utd need to pay minimum 10m more if they want Sancho

Saints announced Mohammed Salisu from valladolid. Breakout U21 performer at CB in la liga. Kept his team afloat in la liga, was dominant against the top competition. Physical specimen. Big and strong. Left footed. Cheap as I believe he was only like 12 mil. Tested against the best. What a signing. Would’ve loved him here, as he is the exact profile we tend to sign. Young, cheap, talented, and a left footed CB is something we lack.

Reckon he will prove to be a good signing for them. Southampton seem to have a very good scouting system.

Think they'll be knocking on the top 8 door again next year. They'll cause a lot of problems and I can see them even bettering Leicester.

I certainly don't think they'll be lower than 10th next season, assuming Hasenhuttl is there for the full season. He comes across as such a good coach.

This is exactly what we do as a club too when our star players want to leave

No way this Tsimikas fella is good enough for Liverpool. Squad player at best. Olympiakos are laughing all the way to the bank and back.
Well they’ve already got the best left back in the league, so a back up is exactly what he is.

Their version of Harry Kane Syndrome. They’ve got Andy Robertson Syndrome.

And they’ll have the same for most of their first eleven.

For starters, this is insane, he's was Juve's best player in the months before lockdown started and I'm sure they would've beaten Lyon had he been fit. Just look at his goals and assists between New Year and lockdown.

And on the other hand, oh no here we go again.
