Don’t really care if I’m honest, I just want to see him in red vs the scousers. He’s worth whatever wage we pay him.

With FDJ? Yeah I guess so. That doesn't excuse the rest of the window, though.
Plan A: De Jong and Rabiot
Plan B: Rabiot and Milinkovic Savic
I wonder how accurate this is.

I dunno MS, maybe we judge it all at the close? I have a feeling we’re working differently these days.
What specifically has grated you so much chap?
Signing him alone then no, if we sign him Rabiot (who I don't rate), and Morata then the club will come out looking overall like its had a good window.
Its the length of time that we have persued FDJ, to not get him will look like poor planning and rightly so. Quite frankly its De Jong or open field on criticism for the season, as they've set the wrong tone.
Absolut brilliant! If we can get United not to sign Arnautović, we can do the same with Boehly with this masterpiece!
It is quite telling that Barca's 2022 updated reliability list does not have Tier 1 sources. Everyone is T2 or below.
Sport have been publishing so much shite every day that they are bound to be correct once.

We'll see but he misses more than he hits!
Never in doubt lads.
Of course it lines up. That's because they are just reporting what van der Kraan said yesterday.
The story about Auba is that he was on pitiful wages the first six months (since they had all those restrictions), but that they would rise dramatically afterwards.
That was mostly reported by non-pro-Barca sources, but the typical Barcelona media did concede that the salary went up.
Yes, I was a little too optimistic there.Were people doubtful?
My faith has never waivered and won't waiver regardless
Exactly. I feel it in my boner.
He will. Xavi has already confirmed it.
Thats the best indication that there is haha
I think the tax authorities might have something to say about that. No way is another club going to compensate for deferred wages.
Thread has taken a very homoerotic turn.
I’m not sure if this statement means anything.

A desperate club might?
Well, for one, we let Ronaldo throw a strop all summer and then tried to sign a 33 year old mid table racist.
Mate we all agreed we're pretending this never happened
From what’s being reported this morning this seems a long way off what’s actually happened and is happening tbh..
Red training vest suits himThe train always does
Wouldn't it be better for Spain not to have a Spanish company paying his wages? Higher profits means more taxes.
Let's be more confident
What could we have realistically done regarding Ronaldo? The guys a mercenary and narcissistic cnut. I can’t deny getting a bit Dewey eyed when he made that stadium entrance on his second debut but I never wanted him back. That ship had clearly alteadysailed.
And Arnautovic? What’s the point in holding onto that? We didn’t sign him. Someone obviously didn’t do their due diligence but it was all over almost before it even got started. We don’t know and probably never will know the real truth behind it all. The important thing is we didn’t.
Onwards and (hopefully) upwards dude.
What a shift! Did Mikky finally give in?
Brief summary of the day so far and it’s clear that the narrative is shifting somewhat.
What I will say is Van der Kraan is highly regarded and has been clear that United have agreements with player, agent and that De Jong is happy to move to United (obviously there’s issues in play with him and Barca).
He’s been consistent throughout this and given his links to Dutch football it’s highly likely he will have the best sources for both Ten Hag, De Jong and his agents.
I’m not saying United will definitely get him but I definitely think this is far more positive compared to the Chelsea reports last week.
Especially when you consider they still have not bid nor have they made any contact with the players agent.
We're in the End Game now.
There were reports they did get into contact and were told to do one
I think so although not sure on the reliability.
Essentially though they have received no indication the player will move to them and as such haven’t made a bid.
This would tie to much earlier reports that the player has no interest in Chelsea and they were simply monitoring incase a move to United failed to happen.
Would just need someone to connect with Jadon on that right hand side, also ST with physical presence and build up play ability
Can I snap my fingers and make this happen 2 months ago?
