It wouldn’t be good at all if he joins Chelsea instead of us. The hierarchy of Man Utd will look stupid

Yeah. Can’t remember the last time they missed out on a signing either. Worrying times

It will all be down to De Jong, and at the moment he does not want to come to United.
It’s not only about what he wants to do. It’s not going to be easy for him to stay when they need him to go. The last thing Barcelona would like to do now imo is activate more levers.

SPORT are back to being unreliable. But this should bring out the doomers and help the push to 2k
Sport are just the ultimate shit stirrers. Just incredible how wrong they've been throughout this whole thing.

Chelsea aren't doing anything, they won't pay what Barca want and they don't need a MF player. No idea what Sports obsession with them are to be honest with you

€70M + Azpilicueta and M. Alonso would be very good.

He was a journalist for Rac1 and has very good contacts both within the club and other journalists to whom they leak news.
Didn’t know anything about him. Thanks for the information. I actually thought he was a social media guy getting very big. Him being a serious journalist makes more sense.

He has been in the know for as long as I've been paying attention to Barcelona. Also from memory while he is a bit excentric and has milked this De Jong thing, he is a bit more like Mitten where he stays away from complete nonsense.
Tbh I like characters like him. It’s cool that people does their thing and just having a real good time doing so.

Sport Sundays are the bestest! :wenger::rolleyes:
It's the fact that there's absolutely no links to Chelsea outside of Sport yet people just believe it without question. Any truth to them would have been reported by their reliable journos by now don't you think haha.

Some people just live for the meldown

I finally got around to listening to Mitten in Talk of the Devil's, and to be honest I thought he was pretty reasonable about it, and I also thought of Chelsea when he was talking about a preference for London. I wouldn't be surprised to be honest.

:devil::devil::devil:... oh wait it's sport :lol:
I imagine as soon as Frenkie agrees to leave they’ll slap an €80m lever induced bid on City’s desk and get Silva straight in. But who the hell do City get to replace him? They’ve lost a lot of good players already.

Yep. Mexican stand-off. Which is what I'd written above. Think this will go to deadline day.
If it does, they'll have to play their first few games without their new players as they won't be able to register them.

You just have to look at this logically.

Chelsea have a shitload of midfielders at the club; Jorginho, Pulisic, Mount, Barkley, Ziyech, Havertz, Kante and that's off the top of my head, they have way more than that. They are bloated in the midfield department to the point that many of them can't even make bench or squad, let alone the first-team. Why would they even consider adding another one?

It's far more likely that Sport are trolling for clicks. It probably worked too.

I don’t think Chelsea will get him but why have you inlcluded wide players and also players Chelsea want rid of to bolster your arguement?

Doesn't it say everything the likes of Law & other reliable guy haven't mentioned him once
Yep it's no different to when shite foreign papers uses to link us to dross like Gaitan, yet no reliable UK journalists made any mention of it

Don't know why Sport are still posted tbh. They're like the Spanish equivalent of the daily star

Sport are probably talking rubbish but most of those players you've mentioned are attacking midfielders/wingers so they're not in competition with FDJ who's a CM. Jorginho is the only one who plays similar postion at Chelsea and De Jong is a younger better player so theoretically Chelsea may be interested although I think it's unlikely.

If Barca sell Frenkie & then buy Silva, how does that help their finances ?
I don't get it !!
