Barca are in some shite aren't they? There's no way they'd be discussing a transfer for him in normal circumstances. He would absolutely transform our midfield!
Make Hughes?Have we bought anyone other than that cryuff lad from baraca?
I think so too. Sensational business if we pull it off.Not a chance we’d be putting this much effort in if he had no interest in joining. This is absolutely happening
Oh yeah that's right, I thought we rebought him from bayern but it seems he was loane there.Make Hughes?
Pointless, we don't need another ancient striker.How bad ass would we be if we got Frenkie then hijaacked Lewa?

Won’t matter, the second he turns up at United his leg will fall off.What’s his record with injuries? He’d transform our midfield but I’d like another couple of midfielders in too.

Does Victor Valdes count? We got Pique from them before selling him back.Have we bought anyone other than that cryuff lad from baraca?

Neither should count as we didn't buy them per say.Does Victor Valdes count? We got Pique from them before selling him back.
Theres a couple of others that played for both with a gap in between Sanchez, Ibrahimovic and Henrik Larsson played for both of us for a while.
Reading the responses in the tweet from the barca fans, almost everyone said the same thing "87m for Maguire", they dont want to sell cheaper than Maguire.Not sure of the source

EXCL: Manchester United have made a €65m offer for Frenkie de Jong, according to someone close to the deal. Barcelona is considering it
Oh yeah, no doubt. But we're in a privileged position on one hand where we can set that as a pre requisite, and a bad position on the other where our squad is so rotten that we need to do that to rebuild this squads mentality to a healthy state.As an estimate, I would guess that applies to probably about 30% of transfers at the top level.
Okay I've changed my mind this is on like donkey kongTweet

Not sure that would be the best idea personally. Would prefer a quicker centre half.Don't think this will happen but if we do all of a sudden sign him it won't be long until De Ligt follows I'd put money on that.
YesIs Laurie Whitwell reliable?
He's no Ornstein/Stone/Nurse but he's pretty good.Is Laurie Whitwell reliable?
He is but I couldn't find the original comment from him, just the mention from the utdreport tweet. Unless it's an article on the Athletic which I haven't got access to.Is Laurie Whitwell reliable?
I think he’s up there with them tbh. The Athletic is clearly number 1 now in terms of a ‘newspaper’. BBC seems to be slow, but rarely do they get it wrong. It’s more important to be right than first, etcHe's no Ornstein/Stone/Nurse but he's pretty good.
Looking forward to the next podcast! Great source this.Tweet

Yes, he has multiple sources and attends uniteds press conferences.Is Laurie Whitwell reliable?
That's just pure nonsense. Chelsea are on 70 points which is just 12 points more than us. That's 3 more wins from our worst season we ever had and we would comfortably fighting for 3rd. Now if you really think we can't get that, then I rest my case.
Closest I can get is 50% if you went stupidly layman terms. Chelsea, United, Spurs and Arsenal going for top 4 would put it at 50/50
Lewa doesnt play as an ancient striker and is a fitness freak. He will be good for atleast 3 more years.Pointless, we don't need another ancient striker.
There's also the reality that De Jong hasn't exactly performed to his expectations for their midfield.Barca are in some shite aren't they? There's no way they'd be discussing a transfer for him in normal circumstances. He would absolutely transform our midfield!
No thanksLewa doesnt play as an ancient striker and is a fitness freak. He will be good for atleast 3 more years.
He's as good as they come for UnitedHe's no Ornstein/Stone/Nurse but he's pretty good.
Bit of that, bit of de Jong not being their future (Pedri/Gavi is their future, which needs a very different #6). Which isn't to say they are better than De Jong or have higher potential (it's close in reality), but they are just more "Barca" than De Jong. So might as well recoup 70m while in financial trouble and get his huge wages off the bill while basically still having the same future plan.Barca are in some shite aren't they?
