Why people are assuming that the deadline is from United? It's likely from the seller who has no reason to have a fee agreed without a deadline, especially if it's a formal agreement.

I think we'll either have a new deal negotiated this week, or we'll just submit the same one again.
I'm guessing we'll likely pay some of the wages though, if ten Heg genuinely wants this deal done asap anyway

Having an deadline only for us to go back for the same player in the same transfer window is pointless.

the proper deadline should have been a month ago when we could have started getting alternatives in ready for the start of the season.

the club is a fecking joke runned by glorified amateurs and it’s showing every window.
Its how business is done usually. Its not that we phoned them and said oy, give us the answer till 15th of August or we wont phone back.

This deal isn’t happening. Laporta will pull the 5th lever…creating an OnlyFans account with Frenkie’s fiancée.

This saga is getting tedious. One player will not sort out our problems. It is reminiscent of the frenzy surrounding Jadon Sancho.

We're doing our bit, it's just that all the doomers who we used to have to argue against are also now so convinced that he's coming (because it's so bleeding obvious) that we have nothing to discuss. We're all just sat waiting, contently, in silence.

So that guy reporting this a done deal and deferred wages sorted is full of shit then.

Of course. Nothing has happened for more than a month. Barca's plan to force De Jong out in to the arms of United/Chelsea, looks to have failed.

Usually one player won't sort all the problems out and I'm not saying FDJ would, I've not seen enough of him. It is however the case that a team can be missing a single player that makes the rest of the plans work. More often than not this applies to CM as they directly effect almost every part of your game: possession retention, transitions in both directions, playmaking and shielding the defense. Kante to Chelsea is a good example of this, he's a superb player in his own right, but he unlocked the potential of the players around him as well.

De Jong and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door

Googled it:


WHAT DOES RABBIT HOLE MEAN?
Used especially in the phrase going down the rabbit hole or falling down the rabbit hole, a rabbit hole is a metaphor for something that transports someone into a wonderfully (or troublingly) surreal state or situation. On the internet, a rabbit hole frequently refers to an extremely engrossing and time-consuming topic.

Much like this thread. Very meta of the OP.

So quiet for a Monday, ffs. Normally after a weekend there's a barrage of new and interesting bullshit to wade through, but nothing thus far. Nothing hot, things aren't happening, just radio silence. Not even Sport kicking us around like a red-headed stepchild.

Bullshit Central is running out of fuel. Good thing. Time to face cold reality of this window which is dead silence on United part since early August.

Maybe because it’s a Tuesday…

:lol:

Can't get de Jong. Ah well, we'll get the "Best holding midfielder of all time" instead.
Can't have it both ways. Now you are slagging off United's ambitions? Casemiro may be the best holding midfielder but we have our own best in class:

L. Martinez is the best football-playing hobbit on Middle Earth
Frenkie is the best Frenkie-Mid in the world.
Eriksen is the best player in the world that currently playing post-heart stoppage.

This is AMBITION.
