So United won't be signing Haaland or Grealish...

Well they have Cavani who is a very good forward and are going to give for Sancho...so again no need for grealish..

I still think that Dortmund will hold out for what they want for Haalsnd which will see us not get him this year as we wont pay the price.......leaving us with the very strong possibility of either playing the false 9 next season or Kane.....who personally I just wouldn't go anywhere near....think either option is a risk.

Amazing how people have no faith in the power of negotiation, yet believe Watzke is a man who means every word he says lol.
For the record, he’s also selling the narrative that no club will have the money to buy Sancho.
Both Sancho and Haaland are leaving this summer.

Perfect summer

Haaland - £100mil + £30mil add ons
Grealish - £60mil
Aouar - £25mil
Camavinga - £40mil (loan back and extended Dinho contract)
Mendes - £40mil + £10mil add ons

Can't see us spending £300mil but one can dream right

No way us or anyone else is getting Grealish for £60m

That has been talked about as a clause in his contract

Sure I’d read that was anything over £100m?

There is a clause in his contract saying that if Villa doesn’t qualify for an European competition, he could leave for a CL club for 60M or 70M (there have been reports claiming both). Tolmie yesterday said 70M

To be fair we as supporters are heavily biased for the Haaland transfer to happen (especially with Aguero leaving). And I am not doubting he is interested in joining us and we are an attractive prospect. But from Dortmund's perspective Haaland is still their player and just like Jadon Sancho last season they will come to temporary solution for him to stay. They did it with Lewandowski despite getting nothing for the player. The release clause will not bother them that much (even the current Covid financial climate) Sancho is one will be the one to make way this time around. If they fail to qualify for the Champions League they will probably consider moving him on this summer. If you are supremely confident if this will happen straight away then fair play to you on that, but I don't see this as cut and dried and I am sticking by it.

Dortmund could potentially bank over 200m in a summer where pretty much no one has anything to spend. It will help them for the next few years.

Unless Haaland decides to stay they would be mental to not sell.
