They aren't cheap these things
That Romero bloke is just begging to be associated with United with his endless tweets..it’s actually Sergio Romero folks
Love your optimism but you do realise we don’t have the cash to sign all those players?
Shame Barcelona have already decided on a left back because I would love the opportunity for us to introduce them to Mr Alex Telles
Christ 589 pages discussing Barcelona's legal situation.
I don't think 1000 pages would be enough to fully uncover how deep in the crap they are
Yeah hard to see Barca paying up any time soon so fully expecting this to rumble on into season
I do believe Ten Hag is literally awaiting with his arms open wide.
Nothing we didn't already know in that tweet. It's amazing how these twitter accounts can twist the same report over and over to make it seem like new info.
Though you do have to wonder if he looks at Chelsea, and wonders with the midfield they already have, would he get the chance to be the star man? At United, it's pretty clear that he'll be the star player and the team will likely be built around him
If we manage to get this over the line you'd have to give credit for how we've handled the negotiations. Big if mind you
This feels like the Sancho signing. It'll take a long time, probably get done, fans will react like we've won a trophy and he'll not be that good. He's nothing special. We shouldn't spend so long on one player. Get it done or find an alternative, there are plenty.
Tier 1 for Barca
It's easy to understand why ETH is pursuing him at all costs. The only leverage ETH has with top class players at this stage in his career is with de Jong and perhaps with de Ligt. United is not currently an attractive club to top players - i.e. top players who can pick between quite a few top clubs. He'll be desperate to get his managerial reign off to the best possible start and we've not had a competent midfield for more than a decade. It's the main fault in the team, however poor we are in other positions.
It will look pretty terrible though if this doesn't work out.

Who? Not trying to be a prick, genuinely curious to know who you’re thinking about.
Lovely stuff. He's coming home.
The ol' Sancho vibes.
Yawn
We're going to get him.
Fully confident in that.

Operation 'make Frenkie and his agent the bad guys' in full swing I see
Considering the guy just wants what he is owed as well
That's what I like to see, he really is pissed off at them for not paying him what he's due
Name a midfielder who is better than de jong? We are building for the future and ten haag needs players he can trust.
They owe him and Frenkie 17 million fecking quid. Is he supposed to just tell them don’t worry about it?
BREAKING:
De Jong's transfer to Man Utd could happen within the next 7 days. But it could also not happen. Everything depends on the circumstances.

Amazing how they know exactly what was discussed... did they wiretap Laporta before the meal or something? Or is it pure speculation
I’m off to London tomorrow to start 7 shows following Pearl Jam for the next 3 weeks in Europe and I’ll be amazed if this is concluded by then..would be nice after the comedown of a tour finishing to hear we’ve actually signed him as I seriously cannot comprehend another season of McFred, but I’m not holding out any hope.
The most worrying thing is not his signing as such, but what ETH will make of it if it doesn’t come off.. really excited about what the new boss will bring and believe he’s the manager we need to reset the club….but.. just pray he gets what he asked for

Finally, something with a bit of substance
I don't speak Spanish... Does "excelente comida" mean "excellent comedy"? It should.
Utter shite!
I'm so into Pearl Jam that I registered on a football forum to both call myself and talk about Pearl Jam in a conversation about Frenkie de Jong.
Well no shit, they've dragged his name through the mud.
Username is very fitting.
Yeah he should demand either Barca pay up or reduce the transfer fee
Aaaaaah ok then...
So basically, if de Jong was mentioned, Chelsea were told he doesnt want to join them. The problem is, we have no idea if de Jong was mentioned or not
Excellent meal, I think
What’s for dessert? Anyone know?
EtH will get on with it if he doesn't get his targets. At Ajax he didn't get Kamaldeen Sulemana or Bergwijn and he got on with it.
