Definitely not moving this summer. I think we'll come back for him either in Jan or next summer.

I’ve got a strong feeling we are getting both Frenkie and Memphis. This has always been about the deferred wages and now we’ve finally found a compromise where we can pay it partially and get a squad player in return (i.e. Memphis).

Have faith, fellow muppets!
W.C. Handy, won't you look down over me?

Could be why the 10-15mil fee is being spoken about when barca was going to terminate it for a move to Juve. What a double swoop that would be

1773 pages and counting. Is there a longer thread about a player we probably are not going to sign?

Somehow, I am relieved that this deal is not going through. The entire deal tastes foul and feels entirely wrong. Of course no one is going to give up on 17m owed to him, but still, we do not need to get involved in this mess.

We are just keeping ourselves entertained until the window closes, definitely missing a trick not speaking to him whilst over here

It's finally coming to an end. I think 1,773 pages is already a record but I always thought it would reach 2000.

The Casemiro signing killed that chance.

Let me add a sentence here then to help us reach the 2000 page objective. Haha!

Given the amount of money we have already spent and the latest signing in Anthony, this FDJ transfer must be surely dead.

We definitely want him to stay at Barca. Maybe go for him in January and then again Next Summer. If We hear a sniff of Pool or Chelsea going for him. Take a Loan and get him ASAP.

48hrs left... I must admit that I am getting a hint of concern that there has been no announcement for FdJ yet.

We really like to play till the dying minutes before scoring. But that's the United Way.

Did VDB have a wedding?
Plot twist. There is no 'wedding'. Bride is actually Maguire in a wig. The father officiating the wedding is none other than our very own Father Fred. This is all a cunning ploy to lure Frenkie here where we can extract him to secure location where ETH can 'convinced' him to sign for us ala Mikel.

The issue about money is a coping mechanism for Muppets here who don`t want to accept the reality that he doesn`t want to and never wanted to leave Barcelona for Utd or anyone(Chelsea showed firm interest and have everything we don`t bar Ten Hag and he still told them no)
Said it here before if it was just about the money this would have been solved between Barcelona and Utd weeks ago on a percentage of the deferred wages to pay between each club the same way a deal would have been done if the player was open to leaving. See how Antony and Casemiro pushing for deals helped conclude the transfers yet here we are after 3 months no closer to signing FDJ but hey ho Muppets will believe what they want

He just isn't that good and worth the pursuit. Let's move on ... a No.9 is much more needed

Does he want to come to United with his Dutch family and loads of cool Brazilians or does he want to go to Chelsea to play with Raheem Sterling and Mason Mount?

You know what to do Frenkie! Now go enjoy Donny’s wedding.

De Jong and Memphis are going to sign for us in Fergie time, would be a perfect ending on a long drawn out sluggish battle.

Dude. Do you seriously believe more than 1% in this thread currently believe he's going to sign before Friday?

Stop stereotyping.

Why do people think he will join us in januari or next summer when he didn't this summer when everything from Barcelona telling the media they want him to leave basically and they wont pay his wager? I mean the situation cant be worse for him there then it is/was this summer? He even had a contract from his old manger served with 70% higher wager and a chance to become the biggest star probably here. Even Barcelona fans wanted him to leave so they could get their new signings registered while United fans showed him so much love that he one could have think he already played for us and hade won us PL and CL.

Next year, IF he Barcelona still wants him to leave and he decides to except it, there will be Chelsea, Liverpool, Bayern, Juventus, maybe even City all probably interested to sign a world class deep playing CM for decent fee. Why would he all suddenly change his mind and join us? CL football? Money? Manchester as a city? If only ONE of the mentioned clubs above offers the same money to Barcelona as us, he will probably join them ahead of us since they have been way more successful then us recently years and his girlfriend who is very keen on living in "modern and fashionabel" city. I think we had our chance and even had an agreement with Barcelona but he didn't want to join us. Only way as I see it is if we sign like 1-2 more players these last days and then 2-3 next while we this season already improve that much that he sees us a real threat to City/Liverpool for the PL title and getiing CL is a must.

The thing that doesn't make sense is why would Ten Hag chase someone that he personally knows & made him into a first team regular, if he knew he didn't want join united.

Ten Hag must have really poor social skills or there is something missing.

In all probability Frenkie told him right at the start that he might be interested in a move. He might've been. Things change.
