I don’t think that comment makes sense for a player who knows he’s leaving to be honest. He still looks desperate to stay.He’s not going to say anything - we haven’t agreed a fee. He may stay at Barca.

He was ok, nothing too fancy.How did he play tonight?
If you take out the biggest club bit it’s a very generic no comment…”I’m flattered by the interest but I’m fine where I am and there’s no news”I don’t think that comment makes sense for a player who knows he’s leaving to be honest. He still looks desperate to stay.
He is a very clingy girlfriend, he should at least shut up when its clear at this point barca fancy selling him.Tweet

Actually kind of agree with this.If those quotes are accurate, I don't want.
It's the same shit again with us. Di Maria was pushed out the door by Madrid against his will. Look how well that turned out for us.
We need to be on the lookout for better versions of Fred, players who are clamouring to sign for United and who'll run through brick walls for us every game.
No more entitled pricks please.
But he said the biggest club in the world part so why are we excluding it?If you take out the biggest club bit it’s a very generic no comment…”I’m flattered by the interest but I’m fine where I am and there’s no news”
Or he's been media trained not to say jack shit.But he said the biggest club in the world part so why are we excluding it?
He wants to stay and he’s making it more clear with that line.
Okay. Has anyone told Murtough?But he said the biggest club in the world part so why are we excluding it?

Pretty much this. But in this analogy the someone else is bankrupt and living in a shed stinking of poo. But they still want them.It's like chasing a girl that is more interested in someone else.
if you were training somebody to say Jack shit if they were possibly moving would you tell them to say they are currently at the best club in the world?Or he's been media trained not to say jack shit.
Ask him mateOkay. Has anyone told Murtough?
None whatsoeverNo knee jerk reactions to see here
It's possible that DeJong has been told that the deal might not be happening. Interesting he says this a few hours after Ornstein says we're looking at Eriksen as a possible alternative to DeJong. Wouldn't be surprised if this cools off now. Let's see. Great player but not our player. He may never be.Tweet

Ornstein has apparently removed parts of the tweet saying it’s an alternative deal to de Jong.It's possible that DeJong has been told that the deal might not be happening.

What he meant was clear, like "I'm aware of the interest, its nice to be wanted but I'm at my dream club and don't fancy leaving except something happens".Or he's been media trained not to say jack shit.
What universe are you living in where you think Neves would be cheap or even remotely in the same league as De Jong? He'll cost a fortune, and isn't anywhere near as good.Neves is looking mighty fine right now
It looks like the cafe is about to repeat its bad takes re: Mane and Salah, judging by some of the responses I’ve received regarding Neves and Tielemans. I find it very odd how adverse many are in plucking players from mid table teams that may be in a position to take the next step at a bigger club. I mean it’s the profile of player that we may have to focus on when we have nothing to offer other than hope.
Regular starter for them but sure, warm their bench .. ?!Good that he made it clear now and put a full stop. Let him enjoy at the world’s biggest debt club and warm their bench.
It would’ve been a non quote had he not said he’s at the biggest club in the world. That part is pretty far from an non quote.fecking pathetic reaction to the most generic none quote you’ll see
Pretty much this. But in this analogy the someone else is bankrupt and living in a shed stinking of poo. But they still want them.
Doesn't that tell you something about the state of the club?
This framing is pretty far off. First of, he's at a club where they don't not want him, but need to cash in. He's in a beautiful city, with great weather, playing for the club he idolised as a kid. So even if he's being pushed out, it's tough to swallow. Secondly, we'll need to do more than pay him what he wants as he, and every other top player, will be aware of how shite we've been over the years reaching a nadir this season. They'll need to know that there'll be further strengthening done on the team immediately. Thirdly, even though pre-season is nearly upon us, we've obviously had the sideshow of the Nations League, I'd assume that things will speed up rapidly from now on. Haggling over money is worth it, if we're doing it right. So far, there is nothing to suggest we're still in Woodward/Judge territory. Frenkie is the first domino before we can evaluate what we can do in other positions, he'll also be the most expensive signing and we'd be wise not to flaunt money prior to concluding the deal with Barca.Either shit or get off the pot Murtough. New manager, same old penny pinching shite.
Ten Hag is not going to change anything if we can't even efficiently sign a player being pushed out of a club on the verge of bankruptcy.
Shades of the Moyes and Woodward braintrust first window.
You can see why it would wind people up though no? It's hardly a non quote.fecking pathetic reaction to the most generic none quote you’ll see
