Yeah, no one was saying that about Donnie. My recollection of the reaction to that signing was one of indifference.
Frenkie de Jong | The last muppeting lap
- Thread starter davidmichael
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

What @Dr. Dwayne + his successes at Ajax were more in a midfield 2 with a partner rather than the lone no.6 in a midfield 3.
You mention Kessie and Pedri, but you also forget Gavi, who is basically their La Masia golden child who has yet to renew his contract. They want to prioritise him, so letting the good player who is expendable go to put faith in Pedri and Gavi makes more sense for them. Even more so when he is their one major financial export this summer at a time where they massively need money
That's the spirit
Really hurt Bayern Munich when they signed Robben from Real Madrid.
Look at the Muppetiers twitter, they say he jus6 posted the photo but it was taken late May.
Is this a post from a week ago that you've only just decided to post now?
The Di Maria comparison is silly. De Jong is coming to United to play for his ex manager that he has a lot of admiration for and the manager that knows how to get the best out of him. Di Maria was playing for a manager that didn't have a clue on how to use him.
Where are these reports?
Only seen the multiple reports today saying he has decided he wants to join us
Your reports are more than two days old, unfortunately.
Some of these lot are ridiculous, man. Miserable gitsGive it a fecking rest. Jesus.
you love to see it
Yeh they quite simply have a surplus of talent now in midfield and had to make a call.
Let's hope if he does sign that we buy him that midfield partner he needs to play in a two if Bruno is to play as number 10.
I doubt he's dying to move to United and play with Fred or McTominay.
I'll need a skin graft for my penis if we sign De Jong.
Nope, it only takes a few moments to see various reports on this subject.
Why are there so many gullible people on here?
United claim a new bigging, doing things different, so first things they do is puruse a player who's heart isn't set on playing for us.
Sir Alex, signed and pursued players who wanted to play for us, that showed on the pitch, the players were desperate and hungry to win.
All we do is force players to sign by offering stupid wages and they just go through the motions.
I'd rather we pursue hungry players who want to play for us and give them a year or two to establish themselves.
Hopefully I'm wrong, but history is on my side.
Not sure what the rush is here.
He wants to come.
No one else can afford/ needs him.
He has a very good relationship with ten Hag.
Barca needs to sell him before doing any other transfer business, and their fans and manager won’t want this hanging over them, whereby we can continue to offer for alternative targets.
It’s an excellent negotiation position to be in, and saving 10m euros or so could mean the difference between a number 1 and 2 target elsewhere.

@ehsanul we found your second account mate, this was not really discrete. You are not allowed to have multiple accounts, only MadWinger aka Oleboiii aka Coy Keane is.
Seriously, what on earth are you talking about?
Old man yells at clouds episode
Absolutely correct. It feels very much like Sancho last season, where we ended up getting him for a very reasonable price, considering his valuation the previous summer.
He is just blabbering, trying to be hip and gain some relevance. Salah leaving Pool was another Choccy special, when he is staying. Looking for attention. You can spot the same characters on the forum regularly.
Look at the information at hand.
FDJ publicly says he loves Barcelona and doesn't want to play elsewhere.
Barcelona need to raise £430m ASAP
Barcelona tell FDJ he has to leave
No other club is interested in him aside from United.
He reluctantly agrees to consider United because of ETH.
Sounds great!

I actually think so too. United will be very careful, and rightly so. They haven't looked good lately, with Greenwood, Ronaldo, inviting Giggs...
And if those other clubs were interested and he ended up at PSG or City you’d be sitting there pity-wanking about how we don’t try for midfielders like this and how badly run we are. Give it a rest, big man
What does this have to do with him joining us next season? Robben and Sneijder said they also love Real and only want to stay there etc. They both fell in love with Inter and Bayern and became legends, that is how football and life works. FDJ is a smart boy, dont you worry about him.
Only bit missing is you throw Di Maria in as an example, whereby he is a complete different character and wanted by a complete different manager he never worked under.
Your problem is you take a general explanation and try to squeeze everything in your bubble to suit your agenda. Same as the people saying all Argies are shit for United, that is why we should never try to sign one again. It is just too simple and general to make a conclusion on every player.
If you're looking at week-old reports, sure, but things change over time. Several reliable Barcelona journalists nowadays have reported that Frenkie's accepted his departure from Barcelona even if he wanted to stay. On top of that, reliable English journalists such as Laurie Whitwell, Charlotte Duncker, and Sami Mokbel are reporting that De Jong is open to a move, then there's no reason to ignore it.
They are a group of exploitative opportunists an absolute cancer to true transfer muppetry which should never be monitised.
I never said anything about our desire. Robben also was forced out and went on to crush it at Bayern, but you didn’t address that at all. Its the exact same scenario with a completely different result.
Which is completely normal...
That's the idea, yes.
The CAF misery-go-round continues......
Oh he's comming, I'm on the train with him.
But with 20-ish unread pages I had hoped for more and got sad, that's all.
the negative nancies can go pound sand. Cocks out, people.
Except when he overhears agents in hotel foyers openly discussing transfers.
Lots of cocks out, if that ain’t 18+ I don’t know what is.
I think you misheard. Those rappers weren’t talking about putting their dick in a beach.
