Hhhmmm. Are they (legally) allowed to do that? I guess if both clubs/companies are held as part of the same 'group' or investment company then they are just transferring cash from one part of the greater company to another.
The whole Sancho thing is a joke. Utd leaked they were interested in him. Dortmund shrugged their shoulders and pointed to the 3 or 4 years left on his contract and said £108m and we'll sell but we want it done by the start of August. Utd were then surprised when Dortmund rejected their bid of 60 or 80m (depending on your source). Utd then leaked that they had agreed terms with the player, which ehh means FA if you haven't agreed a fee, and were then surprised again when Dortmund didn't **** their pants and drop their asking price. The start of August comes and goes, Dortmund say "he's not for sale now" effectively telling Utd they had their chance. Utd are again surprised that Dortmund don't drop their asking price. The season starts, Utd look shite, the transfer window is closing in a few weeks and Utd are still humming and haa-ing about paying the £108m Dortmund initially asked for. I'm not even sure they would take £108m now as it leaves them very little time to buy a replacement.
If there's one club who come out of that looking like utter morons, it's not Dortmund.
As for Utd, yes they need cover in midfield and a right sided attacker or RM, but is spunking £108m on Sancho the solution? Surely that money could be put towards 2 or 3 top class players in other areas? A LB, a CB, ehhh another CB, cover in Midfield, cover up front.
Also, as OGS has been there 18 months ish now it's fair to ask, who has he improved in his time at the club?!
Name me a player who is better now than when he took over. Brandon Williams and yer wee fella Greenwood are hard to judge as they have only emerged into the 1st team recently. The others.................
