Fdj doesn’t need a rice type player, he needs a box to box player.

I think he might setup without a true striker. Eth has done this before playing Berghuis in the centre of attack before haller arrived. Bergius was more of a winger / cam, I’m not sure who he would try in there though? Rashford/sancho/Bruno?
Haller arrived half a season before Berghuis. I think you're confusing him with Tadic.

Rice can play b2b and I think he's exactly the sort of profile of player best suited to play alongside to FDJ.

Last bit of drama before we confirm the deal, and De Jong is giving his interview to MUTV with a gun just off camera.

Impossible to believe that ETH hasn’t got assurances from him before this stage?

Yes, I am sure Cadena SER have just been sitting on that until news broke just over an hour ago and definitely aren't posting contrary news now straight after the fact because it will drive engagement.

No one wants to join us really. We got to pay big money to convince them and in truth, the players are correct because we ruin careers.

No one comes to us and improves.

Haven’t there been consistent reports throughout the sorry saga that De Jong doesn’t want to leave Barca / doesn’t want to come here?

Innit, why would De Jong suddenly reveal this as they're agreeing a fee?

Watch everyone here talk about moving on now :lol:

feck me we continue to embarrass ourselves over De Jong as if we are trying to sign a KDB.
Move the feck on
Edit apparently he’s tier one and all while the earlier news is from a spoofer

It's actually done. A real playmaking midfielder. Our first really since Carrick.

He will be sensational for us.
I'd love a prime Michael Carrick to play alongside FDJ. Michael Carrick now could probably do a job for us though.

United are literally cursed. They fail in absolutely everything they try to do
PANIC STATIONS!

It’s bad news so we must believe it!

…..but that good news we had several hours ago. Lets debate it for several hours about it’s validity!
