I think there's something else up with these Romero Tweets on de Jong.
Chelsea surely? Only team batshit crazy enough to do that.
It took 2 humiliating results before they decided to overpay and make a desperate attempt to get another midfielder in when anybody with half a brain cell knew we were fecked if McFred was going to be key players in the first team. They all deserve the sack for making Woodward look competent.
2+2=5
Can we please ban this guy before the January window?
Not waste 3 months on a player who rejected us in May?
I don't know, surely they have already blown their load over by now.
Bid 90m euros for that Leipzig lad. Money is there somehow for them.
Thought they planned to amortize it over a later period, would be insane if they did so.
And you have proof that he rejected us then how? There was clearly a chance of hime coming here – otherwise we wouldn't have pursued him.
United already had alternatives lined up, but they didn't advance on them because the club was incredibly keen on Frenkie de Jong to the extent that they had an agreement with Barcelona on the transfer. Maybe the club could've moved on to an alternate target earlier on, but that's in hindsight.
This thread will never die!
I don’t think it’s accurate to say he rejected us. The situation is very complicated because of his contract, his preference for continuing at Barca, Barca’s preference to shaft him and boot him out, the giant sums of money involved. It’s not the case that he just said “nah”.
Possibly. Most Romero related things appear to be from stuff he's said on some sort of visual/audial social media platform.
I suppose it might get locked when the window shuts. Then a new thread needs to be started, assuming there is “a rumour” he will move…
Has a twitch stream i think.

Yeah I was thinking twitch or a podcast but wasn't sure on the former.
The last part isn't true though, he's been relegated to the bench.
That we bid for him in June. Every media outlet and their dog told us he didn't want to leave. And low and behold 3 months later he hasn't left. If Frenkie ever wanted to be a United player he'd be here, regardless of 17m euros of wages.
We haven't bought other players in that position. Murtough panicked after Brentford and signed a 30 year old for £70m.
Murtough and co have been strung along by obvious nonsense from Frenkie's camp for months, much like this thread has been strung along by Sport and Romero. They leveraged our interest in him to try and improve/secure his position at Barca. And obviously it worked.
I’d say the fact he didn’t sign is pretty damning evidence like
Twitter need to ban this guy.
Heresy!
A zero. And a giant shit head.
Give over.
Oh relax, it’s all fun and games. Not many of us are taking this seriously
Looks right to me. Also, will become a Muppet hero if his insight is true.
