Who was the player that had a medical at spurs and signed for Chelsea?
Also, Roy Keane shook hands with Blackburn over a deal before coming to us.Let’s not forget Robinho who signed for City but thought it was Chelsea in his press conference.
Yeah, no...
@Vault Dweller speeding the train back up?Yeah, no...
Please tell me what more can United do (because Chelsea can’t magically make the deferred wages disappear no matter how bad the meltdown is in here) to force this transfer through when the issue is between Barca/FDJ.
Please tell me how this is embarrassing after a deal has been agreed with United/Barca.
What more can United do now? Please tell me….if United doing their job and agreeing a fee is embarrassing then wow
Ah, that famous tier 1 source that is Alvaro Montero TV.No idea who he is but it says expert on the screen so he must know his shit!

There is a very thin line between a muppet and a zealous believer. Who am I kidding? There is no line.The people still believing this is happening are like creationists who believe dinosaur fossils were put here to test their faith. Fair play to you all
No it isn’t, what a load of codswallop!Honestly this is like a wife saying "yeah, me husband's left me, told me he doesn't love me anymore, moved in with another woman and got her pregnant...
...but I'm sure he's just going through a phase - he'll be back"
Yeah, he started shoveling the coal...@Vault Dweller speeding the train back up?
Why?If he was intending to move to a PL club, then it’s highly likely it would be one based in London.
It just felt like it’s what everyone should doYou did that too?
Might be that despite us having his old coach here, he simply sees Chelsea to be a safer bet. They're in a better situation compared to us, already an established team with a winning (not taking anything away from ETH) coach that's competing on all levels, whilst on the other side were just getting started from the scratch (again...) and there's no telling how things will turn out.If FdJ goes to Chelsea, he obviously puts playing CL this season above all else. It'll be disappointing but it's not like we haven't lost players to Chelsea before. I'm not sure how much blame I can put on United if that were to happen as we've done our part, agreed a fee with Barca weeks ago, can't do anything about the wage issue. I hope the rumors of a backup target is true, because we need bodies in midfield for the upcoming season.
But it's not done until it's done, so here's hoping he still chooses United.
They've sat there with there dick in their hand since FDJ went to the US and done literally nothing.

Exactly. Just ask Lisandro MartinezIf he was intending to move to a PL club, then it’s highly likely it would be one based in London.
What’s the point? It’s not done yet. Our window isn’t over and deJong hasn’t signed anywhere. We can play rating games on the 1st September.rate this transfer window for us so far - from 0 to 10
Yeah but he's a former player of ETH textExactly. Just ask Lisandro Martinez
That might be the reason why he does the tactic stuff and not the buying and negotiating with players stuff...I mean before he signed, he demanded a lot of assurances and power. Apparently we craved because we wanted to get our man, but this could easily be one of the downsides of this.
Didn't Ajax fans mention that transfers are a distinct weak point of his?
Or he might just be listening the wants of his Mrs? None of us have any idea the scope of influence she potentially has on this transfer. She’s desperate to stay in Barcelona, but maybe has compromised on London.If FdJ goes to Chelsea, he obviously puts playing CL this season above all else.

Won't be long now I am afraid, well at least this isn't going to go on for another month nowStill no update this morning on Chelsea and De Jong from Holland (Verweij/van der Kraan), Chelsea’s biggest mouthpiece (Matt Law) or Fabrizio Romano.
Greater odds of bumping into Nadine Dorris obviouslyWhy?
Shit. Yeah. Fair point.Yeah but he's a former player of ETH text
I'd have thought at least Law would have been on it by now.Won't be long now I am afraid, well at least this isn't going to go on for another month now
There is always the possibility that we are gambling on an unknown outcome, but I think you're probably right and we would have backed away by this point unless we were quite confident of an outcome that suited us.Put it this way, to go this far into the window and spend this much time on it, Erik Ten Hag would have to be stark raving bonkers not to have cast iron assurances that we’re his club of choice should he leave.
Ornstein put his tweet out and people have lumped on ChelseaChelsea are now heavy favourites with the bookies to sign De Jong. We were favourites at evens with Chelsea 3/1, but overnight those odds have swapped.
What the feck happened?
Clubs with lesser budgets are able to completely revamp their starting XI within a season. With the amount of money we've spent on "surplus players" (VDB, Varane, Ronaldo, AWB, Pellistri, Amad) over the past two years we could've had an entirely new midfield of 3-4 new players capable of challenging City's quality midfield. The only reason it's not happening "overnight" is because the club doesn't have the ambition, necessary infrastructure, competence, and planning to oversee such a rebuild.We need to rebuild and it's not going to happen overnight. I
Choo-fecking-choo, that's the optimism I need mate@Vault Dweller speeding the train back up?
Not much you can do when a player is not, let's say thrilled to join us, and he's owed money by his current team.They've sat there with there dick in their hand since FDJ went to the US and done literally nothing. They should have actually put some pressure or Barca to finish the deal.
I think we all know at this point it comes down to the deferred wages. We have to remember Barca approached us about this deal, not the other way around, they need the money, they need him off the books, we should have threatened to walk away, or something and forced them to solve the wage issue with Frenkie.Not much you can do when a player is not, let's say thrilled to join us, and he's owed money by his current team.
Only other thing is to wastly overpay everyone...Barca for the fee, players wages in order to soften him up about the idea of playing for us, deferred wages...
Yeah that's exactly what's happened, don't think we will go for alternative when you look at Erik's words and that's a scary thoughtOrnstein put his tweet out and people have lumped on Chelsea
I was under the assumption that EtH would've had talks with FdJ, so United were prepared to play the waiting game. But that of course might be untrue. Even if Chelsea get him I don't think they'll get past the wage issue without it going down to the La Liga registration date. Only Barca and De Jong can solve the wage issue, I don't think any external party can influence them.They've sat there with there dick in their hand since FDJ went to the US and done literally nothing. They should have actually put some pressure or Barca to finish the deal.
True, we can't assume De Jong or his family's motivation. But from a footballing perspective, I believe the CL is the only thing Chelsea have over us in this season.Or he might just be listening the wants of his Mrs? None of us have any idea the scope of influence she potentially has on this transfer. She’s desperate to stay in Barcelona, but maybe has compromised on London.
Might not be better than Manchester to people that have experienced both cities, but to a foreigner looking in it might be the more attractive option.
Maybe the football career aspect of this is actually lowest of the priorities for them.
We have no firm proof that this is the case though, it's just all journalist reports that state that. Mainly Sport.Not much you can do when a player is not, let's say thrilled to join us, and he's owed money by his current team.

It was chelsea he wanted to go to and was meant to go to. However in his conference apparently he didn’t know there were 2 clubs in Manchester.United
Has been right on the money for all the 10 minutes I followed himAbsolutely no fecking clue who this guy is, but right now he is tier 1 and I believe every word that comes out of his glorious mouth.
