Haggy has a tingle.
Just occured to me, hypothetically, what if United signed De Jong on a season long loan deal, with only an option to buy?
Pay 100% of his wages with a loan fee to Barca, that would make them happy, and Frenkie is still technically a Barca player, and getting his full wages, which might make him happy.
It's only for one season, which might make his GF happy too...?

Well August 31st is Fax Machine day after all. De Geas transfer to Real Madrid falling through because of this excact scenario is still the wildest thingImagine if he finally agrees to leave Barca on deadline day , and then we have a fax machine mishap and feck the deal up
Erik doesn't like the media and is very protective to keep things under wraps. This deal is done. 
Ahh, one for the old guys who remember fax machines. Hail fellow old bloke!Imagine if he finally agrees to leave Barca on deadline day , and then we have a fax machine mishap and feck the deal up
Frenkie doesnt get CL football, and he has a season for MUFC for "no particular reason".Just occured to me, hypothetically, what if United signed De Jong on a season long loan deal, with only an option to buy?

Without Frenkies extremely special circumstances regarding his deferred wages, this entire puzzle would have been resolved in June at latest.
I saw someone mention that Frenkie doesnt have any leverage with Barcelona. Except he does. He has a contract that Barcelona has to honor, unless they want to take the contact trough the legal system which they have threatened to do.
Its been mentioned that Frenkie seems like a bit of a "pussy" for some reason, while at the same time ignoring that your enormously influental employer is being very public that you need to reduce your wages for the betterment of the team or else, and he still stands his ground. Not everyone can take that kind of heat.
We're getting Fellaini
Eh? He has all the leverage. It has been his call all along.
Fellaini, Memphis... perhaps we can get Phil Jones on the pitch too for an old boys reunion.We're getting Fellaini
What we know about Erik is that he wants a tight lid on the media coverage of United. It's possible that Frenkie arrived in London, was kept in a hotel and driven to Mayfair to iron out the details, then driven back to the hotel to maintain the media blackout on this potential deal. If, for any reason, we got his entourage to travel to Manchester it'd be very difficult to keep that under wraps. That's just my take.
Ahhh, covert and clandestine... I love it!
Top class muppetry!
The whole Frenkie with the suit at the airport is the thing I keep mulling over.
Either there is/was a wedding and in which case the suit makes total sense, but if there wasn't a wedding and he brought a suit with him. Why?
He must have not heard of zoom then?
Ah, but can you sign a contract on zoom?
we'll never get to 2000 now!!!!
Translation: If Frenkie is leaving Barca, we will go all in.
There is still a chance. Never say never.
Deadline Day(s) anthem!
Just checked... The weather in Barcelona is due to be raining Friday and Saturday.
It's on...
No way did Ten Hag just say, "I cannot talk about players at others clubs - heh?! - but all I'm saying is that this *stands and reveals barely concealed boner* speaks for himself -heh?!"
We're just 8000 posts short.Not with that attitude we won't, sir!!!!
So... that's 13 posts a minute.
Farm harder!We're just 8000 posts short.

Is he still in London?

We could cease to exist as a football club tomorrow and some of ye will be still be convinced “this is on”
They wouldn’t be wrong…..We could cease to exist as a football club tomorrow and some of ye will be still be convinced “this is on”
He’s on team sewey89
He’s on team sewey89
me and him go way backThe suit is the giveaway for me. Can't think of any red herring options unless he goes to a funeral with a tombstone engraved with the word 'muppets'

That smile from ten Hag. Has he kidnapped de Jong?
No one seems to know where he is so maybe.
Don't give up now!!!
Was expecting a quiet transfer deadline day for us tomorrow but that cheeky little grin at the end looks like it says otherwise
Nah, Frenkie is actually under that desk. On his knees and wearing paisley PJ's and ETH's favourite shade of lipstick! It's on.
It's definitely a look of just wait and see isn't itWas expecting a quiet transfer deadline day for us tomorrow but that cheeky little grin at the end looks like it says otherwise
