This is exactly what I thought.
Wow, well spotted. This guy just copy pastes.
This isn't about alternatives. You just dont spend two months of the transfer window chasing a player who doesn't want to come.
This is so blatant now.
Exactly. They’re like that character played by Edward Norton in the remake of The Italian Job.
Couldn’t De Jong be lying to us as well? Surely that’s a possibility
They have some creative accounting/financial geniuses working for Laporta. Poached or contracted them from Wall Street.
We can take Kovacic from you for 40 million.
Otherwise he will develop Iqbal?
As I have said previously, no absurd possibility is off the table with these people in charge. Maybe this transfer falling through will make every Utd fan realise how incompetent and disjointed at completing transfers we actually are.
Call Laporta's financial consultants.
Do you expect me to answer differently to the same question?
Possible, but unlikely.
Absolutely rubbish.
Come on, don't be so common. Use the word humiliation instead if you mean what you say.
Yes. I expect it. Use that anger and express yourself.
ETH said in his press conference less that 24 hours ago that "its about buying the right player and if not, we will look in the squad"
You keep saying this yet Chelsea have spent £62m on a left-back just this week, with England's left-back returning from injury. It is obvious your owner wants to make a statement signing and the pressure is on him to deliver, having booted out the recruitment team from the previous regime. Chelsea are in the market for big, nonsensical signings.
And how is that?
Ten Hag is just a shiny new toy. He is to blame for poor transfers just as much as you blame everyone else.
It was indeed Ten Hag who more or less said Frenkie or bust. Haven't heard from Murtough and Arnold
He'll want to have options even if United aren't his first choice. For starters it puts him in a stronger negotiating position than if he was to rule one club out. If the Chelsea move breaks down then he has an alternative option.
I just can't see it either. We've spent 2 months chasing de Jong, we clearly want him and he knows that.
This. If Chelsea fans thinking signing FDJ is absurd because they having “numbers” in that position, then Chelsea signing a wing back for £62m when they have a v good one already is even more absurd. But to me, that is a sign chelsea still have plenty more buying they are willing to do.
Right now there is no FFP as far as I know. The FFP as we know it got scrapped because of COVID and new rules were introduced but they aren't in effect yet.
From a transfer fee perspective it makes sense. But then they're apparently asking Chelsea for less than we offered
Preferred Kelly Clarkson
It kind of makes sense? Kante is getting old and is injury prone. Jorginho is 30 years old. You might start thinking about refreshing that midfield sooner rather than later.
I have no idea what you're trying to say. Ten Hag shares blame in this pursuit.Ten Hag is just a shiny new toy. He is to blame for poor transfers just as much as you blame everyone else.
Im a doctor btw, my IQ destroys yours
Was about time someone started an IQ pissing contest
Right, and I've said elsewhere -
Would be entertaining for a changeWas about time someone started an IQ pissing contest
But he can use United to get a massive deal out of Chelsea since their owner hasn’t got a clue how football transfers work? Ronaldo loved SAF but didn’t stop him continually using United to get a pay raise from Madrid
His agent will be pushing the links too, he’s trying to ensure his client gets 17m, that he gets a big fee, and all of that can be made easier by United panicking.
