I have a feeling that we will quickly move onto Plan B or C now and leave Barca to deal with this shite with Frenkie alone. I was optimistic until today after seeing those tweets
g = window.googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; window.googletag = googletag; googletag.cmd.push(function() { var interstitialSlot = googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot('/17085479/redcafe_gam_interstitial', googletag.enums.OutOfPageFormat.INTERSTITIAL); if (interstitialSlot) { interstitialSlot.addService(googletag.pubads()); } });
I'm assuming it on the basis of press reporting:hang on, you assume all other clubs on the planet do one thing, yet you assume that one club doesn’t? That’s weirdly convenient for your argument

Gazza quite famously told Fergie he was going to sign for United then signed for Spurs insteadTo see if they were comparable. Shearer's the only one who came close to joining before changing mind. He then regret it for the rest of his life.
Extra sauce?Bargaining for what exactly?
im bored to tears with it mate may as well have some fun
It really isn't sirIts going to happen soon.
Stay the course muppets. Don't let the noise distract you.
Gazza probably didn't what he was signing for.Gazza quite famously told Fergie he was going to sign for United then signed for Spurs instead
That tickled me pal. Tbh though I’m with you. Would love him here of course but if he is still undecided about moving to United then feck him. I want players here who can’t wait to pull our shirt on and run out at Old Trafford. Not uppity fecks looking down at the club.im bored to tears with it mate may as well have some fun
Thanks for the motivational speech my friend!Its going to happen soon.
Stay the course muppets. Don't let the noise distract you.

When have you ever seen the reverse?I'm assuming it on the basis of press reporting:

Dont worry, there's still XX days of the window left...The only thing this saga thread hasn't had is posters keep telling us not to worry as there's still xxx days of the window left.
What is it with our owners and being involved in crimes against humanity. Boehly out! What in the actual feck is this? I'm disgusted.Chelsea's new guy is too busy spending time with insufferable clowns. No way will he sign De Jong. An association with Corden alone should put off anyone wanting to join Chelsea.
Plus i genuinely doubt Chelsea are interested.

Are you not getting mixed up with Gascoigne?To see if they were comparable. Shearer's the only one who came close to joining before changing mind. He then regret it for the rest of his life.
The whole thing has reached the level of the utterly bizzare. Why would ETH be pursuing the guy if he doesn't want to come here? Is Frenkie able to speak? If so, why would he not tell ETH a simple 'No'? Saying now that he wants to go to Chelsea would really be an insult to ETH. A kick in the balls. I don't believe that, and as pointed out in the title, it is a shit source. So, like Elvis before him, he don't want to go to Chelsea...Quite funny that our own fans are embarrassed about our club in this pursuit, whereas the media, other than the dodgy Sport, actually have been understanding on our position on this. Usually, the media would be battering us on this type of pursuit.
Shearer could have joined us too but went with Newcastle in the end. He really isn't the only one at all though.Are you not getting mixed up with Gascoigne?
What blasphemy is this?The whole thing has reached the level of the utterly bizzare. Why would ETH be pursuing the guy if he doesn't want to come here? Is Frenkie able to speak?

But what the feck IS going on? And are the CAF muppets beaten?
My guess is that its like this:Would love to know why the club wasted time on this if FDJ is adamant about not coming. Or is it a case of the club pretending to be doing something with no real intention of signing any other midfielder apart from Eriksen?
We refuel and move forward. This will happen.The whole thing has reached the level of the utterly bizzare. Why would ETH be pursuing the guy if he doesn't want to come here? Is Frenkie able to speak?

Fear you have nailed it with the latterWould love to know why the club wasted time on this if FDJ is adamant about not coming. Or is it a case of the club pretending to be doing something with no real intention of signing any other midfielder apart from Eriksen?

I'm 35. I work in what everyone classifies as "IT" despite not working in IT, but my job is so unbelievably boring that it's not worth explaining to folk. I have four kids which means that TV time consists of Moana on repeat and outdoor time involves standing around in a park watching someone go down a slide three million fecking times.Sorry man - just had to be the harbinger of doom!
I'm afraid your pissing in the wind, with this one.If Ornstein and the sorts back it all up then there's obviously something to this. Until then it's basically old news with a tiny bit of new info, new info which goes against pretty much every bit of info we've had for the past few months.
Romero says ten Hag and de Jong talk often. If they didn't have a good relationship why would they talk often? If he didn't want to come, why bother talking at all?
Some of our supportersAye they even went to the nth degree sending Murtough and the other fella to Barcelona to pretend to negotiate before heading to Holland to pretend to buy Martinez (note how he hasn’t actually been unveiled yet?)
it’s all one huge conspiracy… even ten Hag is in on it.
It seems I’m no longer the only one who questions whether ETH is this major attraction for de Jong.Perhaps it’s because that’s what all the tier one journalists are saying?
No one is imagining it. It’s literally what has been briefed for months.

It wouldn't matter who was chasing him. He would be forfeiting the money they owe him if he agreed to leave on their terms. There's no way that wouldn't be part of any deal Barcelona would sanction at this point. If he holds out they basically have to pay him or negotiate with him. Or they can just not pay him which would be a breach of contract and he'dthen be able to take legal action.I think it says more about us. If PSG, Chelsea, Bayern etc were chasing, he'd have forced it through I think. He knows as well as we do that the chances of us getting CL again for next season are again slim.
Is the same report from this morning no?It seems I’m no longer the only one who questions whether ETH is this major attraction for de Jong.

Nah he was just another one. Jack Walker hated us and told Shearer the fans would never forgive him if he came.Are you not getting mixed up with Gascoigne?
Because our offer is still on the table and they are forcing him to take the offer.It’s another one of those things that simply doesn’t add up. If Barcelona like the Spanish press think the idea of going to United is so ridiculous and that the player has absolutely zero interest, why aren’t they offering him to other clubs a bit cheaper considering the only thing they’re moaning about is the wages.
Why on Earth would they still keep banking on the United deal if his attitude towards it is anything like the reports the Spanish press want us to believe.
There have been a few times that United have sold players, for example Beckham to Madrid despite Barcelona offering more money for him. But when the player made it crystal clear to United that he would not go to Barcelona and would only go to Madrid, they sold him to Madrid. If Barcelona so desperate to get his wages off the books and so certain he doesn’t want to go to United simply drop the price & offer him to clubs he will go to
