feck sake. You're right. Also still find it mad that they've started closing the transfer window mid July.
Yeah we agreed a fee about 6 weeks ago and the stuff about them forcing him out is old AF....they wasn't even supposed to take him on tour at one point.
did I ever say I want Forest players? No. Did I say we need to strengthen? Damn right. And so, it seems, does the manager
It's like people are waiting to latch onto anything negative to just have a rant. It's not like we had some positive news from Melissa just a couple of days ago that people are now starting to believe what fecking Agbonlahor has said on some stupid podcast.
Gosh people really need to get a grip.

May as well feck all happening anyway.
Ding ding ding! Another one rings the bell!
In what way? We have made a bid for a player and had it accepted, what more do you want? We haven't said anything about it since as a club? The only people talking shit are shit tier reporters, youtubers and RedCafe. Nobody knows anything other than those facts, FdJ has come out sometime ago and said he has no intention of going anywhere, but noone knows why, he hasn't said anything more than that, he has never said he doesnt want to come.
When Timber said he didnt want to come, we immediately dropped any interest in him, so why would we still be sat on this unless we thought he would be willing to come?
For Barcelona, yes. It's not United's fault that our main target has been caught in the middle of that shitshow his current club has created. United are staying silent and let the clowns in Spain do the talking in public and through media buddies.
Wasn't he saying just a couple of days ago that they don't need to sell anyone if they activate their 2nd or 3rd or whatever lever? They are just making up things at this point.
True though we're at the exact same spot on page 930 that we was on page 100 its gone absolutely nowhere this deal.
/shrug
Not true.
Wtf is an exit operation? It sounds like surgical treatment to the anus!
We learned a metric shit ton of the stuff going on at Barcelona which makes this deal complicated and complex. We also learned Laporta ate De Jongs wages. That's quite a lot.
If you mean we haven't signed him yet, yeah. We did agree a fee with Barca, though
Much like the inhabitants of the Transfer Forum, there won’t be a lever left unpulled by the end of this.Wasn't he saying just a couple of days ago that they don't need to sell anyone if they activate their 2nd or 3rd or whatever lever? They are just making up things at this point.
Well technically we agreed a fee. In reality they took a player on tour after the fee was agreed and are actively playing him in games......not normal that is it.
They want the player out and are trying to negotiate the money owed....whilst paying him more money to be on tour? yeah ok.
The players we want are hard to get because they are elite. How many players have Forest signed for £50m+?
You seem to miss the fact we have already signed 3 players. Forest can sign 11 players because they are mostly free signings and championship players. Context here is important.again we wan quality over quantity to improve our squad, not just bodies in the building like Forest.
Ring a ding ding!
He's still conctracted to them. While it seems a bit unusual, it's not exactly an alien concept to prepare players you wish to sell but haven't sold yet
An exit lever is basically a trap door isn’t it.
First time i've seen it after agreeing a fee. Under speculation then sure thing but after agreeing a fee and publicly wanting to sell? never seen that.
Coming hours you say... I like the sound of that
Frenkie Friday. Xavi is in the building. Dominos will start to fall…..
It's so on.
It's the selling of de Jong to United of course! It's on, the Frenkie express is close to pulling into the station guys!
Bruno Fernandes played for Sporting even after Utd had agreed a fee with sporting.
I wonder how many on here will celebrate when this thread reaches 1 000 pages ? I also wonder which transfer muppet will post the last comment on page 999 and the first comment on page 1 000 ? So Frenkie if you are reading this, please just hold off for a little longer before confirming if you are signing for our club or not, Cheers
Apparently Kounde turned up at Sevillas preseason tour without even being in their squad while Sevilla and Chelsea have a fee agreed (I think). What do I know, spanish clubs are weird
8 days ago.
Time to put the brick on the accelerator
No it wasn't is was ages ago that stories came out about a fee being agreed. They went on tour 7 days ago and it was well before that.
At Barcelona HQ, the alarms are ringing. The sirens are blaring out. Workers are tripping over themselves and clipboards are flying everywhere. A giant timer has suddenly appeared on the big screen out of nowhere and everybody is losing their fecking minds. Workers are screeching down the phone, some to their superiors, whilst others make one last call to their families.
In the corner, unbeknownst to all and hidden from the chaos, Murtough and Arnold (having never got back on the plane after all), silently enter the room and watch, lighting up another cigar. They give each other a knowing look. They walk mercilessly into the room and step over the fallen bodies, their blood mixed in with the broken bottles of Cava, as they make their way to the boardroom. A normal person would take the elevator, but these spectres take the stairs, climbing an impossible distance which seems to go on for all of eternity. Finally, they reach salvation, bursting open through the door. Frenkie is in the corner, gagged and bound, whilst Laporta stops talking into the phone that he is holding. His huge, grubby fingers tremble at the sight of these nightmarish creatures. With no hope left, he takes out his wallet and, with his slimy hands fumbling all over the place, he throws the wallet to the feet of these boardroom banshees. Murtough and Arnold step over the wallet and continue to walk towards Laporta, who panics. Their eyes are fixated on him, emotionless and without fear. His sweat and odour cover his entire Mercadona-bought suit, and he sees no option left. With one last growl, he shouts out his own name as he shatters the glass with his immense bodyweight and evaporates out of the window. Frenkie, still in the corner, closes his eyes as he knows that his ordeal has come to an end.
Just to add some positivity amongst a wave of bell ringers, I choose to believe that tweet and this deal will be done over the weekend.
Xav is in the building now to do the dirty work of kicking Frenkie out of the door. Get your Jongs ready lads! This is happening soon!
JongsOut! FreeFrenkie! etc.etc.

Have no clue how anyone could view this as an embaressment for the club. Its clear FdJ's ideal choice would be to stay at Barca, but he also knows they want to sell and clearly has given EtH evidence that if he goes then United would be very high up on the list of clubs he'd go to. From a united perspective the opportunity to sign a player of FdJ's calibre, whilst not being able to offer him champions league, is an opportunity that can't be passed. Even if there is only a 50% chance of getting him the reward far outweighs the risk. We have already brought in 3 players, we all knew a realistic summer window would be about 4 good players in. The club is on track to meet that and/or potentially exceed that if we can raise enough funds to go back in for Antony. It feels like a lot of Redcafites have turned into Gary Neville with the constant need to paint everything as doom and gloom or as a failure.The transfer window hasn't been a failure or a success because its still open.
