Frenkie de Jong | The last muppeting lap

I think we can lock this thread. I don’t think it’s happening fellas. I originally thought De Jong was refusing to go due to deferred wages in a negotiating stance. Clearly, that is not the case. He just doesn’t want to come to United.
‘Pretty disappointed with ETH, Murtagh and Arnold. If we do not bring in a midfielder, AGAIN, after needing a DM for literally 3 years, they take full responsibility. This is why, back in January, I was furious that we didn’t buy a DM at that time. A lot of idiots in the Caf were like, “what’s the point in buying a DM before we get a permanent manager in?” Well, here we are. This is why we are a awfully run club.

In Melissa I trust
The daily cycle continues. We're back on lads!
Ruben Neves ffs.
Wolves quoted 80 million pound for him.

Still time for Barca to jump in, I suppose
of course he's coming here. The Chelsea link was invented by Barca to get us to up our bid to cover the wages they owe him.
The season starts next week and it's impossible for anyone to convince me this transfer window hasn't been yet another shitshow. There's a reason we're in this disgraceful position in the first place. Absolutely hopeless at recruiting quality.
He seems highly rated and wouldn’t sign at villa as he wasn’t getting enough football, so a move to Chelsea seems odd
Wasn't one of the reasons that he demanded an absolute bomb for a youngster?
Obviously
Nooo, not Neves. Our midfield would be so lightweight. We need press resistant players.
And now we have little pull due to no CL and how much we embarrassed ourselves last season so it's more difficult.
Is Melissa Reddy essentially reporting briefs directly from the club?
Ffs gotta unzip again!
Yes I think so
Bye bye week minded muppet
Good colour balance 10/10
The FDJ saga is one of the most complicated, contradicting transfers, ever. He better be worth the wait.
Don't think we'll be needing the backup option as I'm sure de Jong is coming. If we were to go for Neves, you know for a fact we'd be rinsed big time on a transfer fee
She replaced James Cooper who was a mouthpiece for the club so yeah probably.
It’s not been the best window due to the delay with FDJ. But I do think it was thrown into disarray by Ronaldo sighting he wanted to leave a couple of days before we went out on tour. I believe we would have got a wide forward in if it wasn’t for the whole Ronaldo mess.

What she's saying is nothing new

About as good as you can do Pixomatic Free Web EditorBarcelona leak Chelsea are interested and we reply by saying we've got back ups in Neves.
And so the stand off continues
And so the stand off continues
If we aren’t going for full midfield passing control then Neves pressing behind Eriksen makes a lot of sense
If we sign both, great. If he is instead of Frenkie then deeply and depressingly underwhelming.
What are the benefits of coming to United other than money and playing for a manager he wasn't as close to as you claim reportedly? If it does happen it will be because nobody else was able to pay the fee we agreed with Barca, is that really the type of player we want as good as he is? somebody who was basically forced to join the club? What if we're bang average again next season with him on the team, how long before he decides Utd don't match his ambition and moves on? That doesn't seem to be taken into account because it seems like our transfer strategy all summer has been to fulfill ETH's wishes which is commendable but again not the smartest way to conduct transfer business at all.
Any Chelsea tier 1 sources reporting Chelsea being interested in FDJ?
Matt Law picked up on it yet? If anyone would know he would right..

Although I wonder if the Neves links are to put a bit of counter pressure on Barca to sort there shit out?!
I’ll gladly buy you several pints when I’m in Dublin if I’m wrong. Best money I ever spent if it means De Jong joins.
I'm ready for Reddy.
Ya think? de Jong is better, for sure, but Neves is excellent too. Fred, Neves and Bruno as a midfield 3 sounds pretty good to me. Ideally we'd get 2 CMs, but I'd take Neves in a heartbeat.
Simon Johnson of The Athletic did, and he's Tier 1 for Chelsea. Before him, Jacob Steinberg reported something similar, but no one else has besides those two.
No one, just some reports in Spain and the Athletic opinion piece
Ahh, that makes sense
