Dortmund newspaper says Manchester United fans have 'problems coming to terms' with Sancho situation - Sport Witness

Ruhr Nachrichten is Borussia Dortmund’s local newspaper, and they cover everything which happens at the club. They don’t do so in a dramatic way, there’s not endless transfer rumours, and it’s clear they have good connections at BVB. In a Thursday article they talk about Jadon Sancho being key...

Solanke is the only one I haven't really understood, all those other big money sales were players who were talked up a fair bit. Even Solanke had some U23s pedigree.

Ibe?

Brad Smith.

Was sold for only 3mil though. Currently a free agent after Bournemouth loaned him out to the MLS and Cardiff for 2 seasons.

You're just a tad obsessed with United and its fans on this. Bit precious.

 

[kaiserchief13]

So Thiago gone, Javi Martinez probably gone too, Bayern will have no Spanish or South American players. Bayern now have the option to sign a new CM/DM and if so, who? If not they have to rely on Cuisance and Tolisso replacing Thiago/Javi Martinez, but not sure they are good enough

Obsessed? It’s the funniest thing I’ve seen the last few windows. Every twitter fan is adamant he’s going. Every social media post from us is flooded with United accounts begging him to come. But there’s literally been no movement. All the press in England is saying it’s happening. Nobody in Germany hardly mentions it. So yeah I’m obsessed cos it’s a rolling joke for me

Suprised Bayern didn't ask for Shaqiri seeing Perisic went back to Inter and they lost Thiago - Shaq is 12 months younger

Happy to keep him. Great little squad player.

What is going on with Mario Goetze? Doesn't have a club what the?

As if Borussia Dortmund haven’t ever given people a reason to think they won’t sell their players to the highest bidder. I mean hell, there is a 50/50 chance that Jadon Sancho will be sold to Bayern Munich in 12 months. Why do I think that? Because your club has little issue with selling to Bayern Munich.

A couple of months ago you ranted about clubs developing their own players and not buying yours. I would say that it is no accident that Borussia Dortmund bought 17 year old Sancho from England, 17 year old Bellingham from England, 19 year old Haaland from Salzburg by paying an ultra low release clause and the 17 year old Dembele from France. All rated some of the best teenage prospects in Europe, all bought for low fees, all going straight into the first team, all playing in attacking systems to show off their best qualities. The three that remain at your club will be sold within 1 to 3 years and you know it too. So that newspaper can get their little snipes in and so can Dortmund on Twitter but you’re a selling club who will sell Sancho next summer even if you finish a point behind Bayern this season because money is more important to Dortmund than silverware for the supporters to actually cherish.

Sancho is on the market. If United pay what's required they'll have him. Dortmund are a selling club. Ain't no puzzle.

Apparently it is to United. Every transfer summer they literally run through hoops and end up buying a footballer not on anyone’s radar. I don’t see the Sancho transfer happening at this point.

Nice rant, but not really true.

1) Theres now an agreement between FCB and BVB that no players will be traded between clubs. There’s literally a 0% chance he will go there next year - but glad to see you’re already angry.

2) Buying a player young player and turning them into a top tier player literally is developing them. Do you think a player is a finished product at 17? Did we develop Sancho, or did City/Watford? Will Bellingham be the same player after he’s left us as he was with Birmingham? Do you know who Gio Reyna is? We have one of the best u/19 squads in the world right now - Reyna, Bellingham, Moukoko, Pherai, Collins, Raschal.

3) It’s obviously an issue to hold onto non-German players. But there’s two ways to get to Bayern’s level. Both of them involve raising capital. One is by developing youth, trying to keep as many as possible, and maximise profit of the ones that don’t stay. The second option is to attract the best German players/players who want to stay in Germany from other clubs and get them on free or very cheap transfers (see Lewandowski, Goretzka, Nübel, Süle, Sane). I’m no fan of ****ing other clubs in your own league. But 25m is good money for Birmingham, and they’ll probably get a good percentage of the next fee too. It’s a win win for them.

3.5) The Dembele saga was part a house of cards happening due to Neymar moving, and part Barcelona doing the campaignery things that they do. Had nothing to do with us wanting to sell him. The guy trashed Klopps house and went on strike. We ran rings around Barcelona in the end.

4) We’re under no illusions that Sancho will leave next summer, but its not because money is more important than silverware, its because he’s English and it will be time for him to go there ... plus we simply can’t afford the wage he should be played.

You come on here talking big but you actually don’t make any solid points - its all selling club verbatim. FWIW, I actually cant believe I bothered to respond to this dribble when I should be going to bed and getting a good nights sleep but hey.

And in the end you did. Because you’re passionate about your club. Next time if you want a good nights sleep maybe don’t post articles “taking shots at United fans” and then write “you love to see it”. That will normally get United fans posting back to you.

Anyway. Thiago done. Let's hope he can take us to another level.
