Frenkie de Jong | The last muppeting lap

The facts its taking this long, a few posts about 'walking away' and the Eriksen interest. I'm not on here 24/7 so I'm not up to speed with the latest developments. Though If I'm wrong in being skeptical this will happen then all good. We desperately need to fix the midfield.
Eriksen is said to be an independent transfer to this as it has been circulated everywhere.
There's a fair bit of nonsense in this thread and a number of the walking away posts are piss-takes of earlier posts because the deal looks to be very close now. A better bet would be the transfer tweets feed than this thread if your looking for updates. The OP won't do threadmarks or title updates unfortunately. A dereliction of duty if you ask me.
This is the latest:

The talk is this will be wrapped up for July 1st. I know everyone wants him in for Monday but any of our lads who played internationals aren't back for another 2 weeks anyway
Why would you post this absolute load of tosh
Have they feck!!!
Ahh feck off hahaha as if
I feel like I’ve heard this joke about 100 times now.
@MUFCScoop: Manchester United have rejected Barcelona's attempt to sign Harry Maguire as part of a deal to bring Frenkie de Jong to Old Trafford. [@SunMartinB] #MUFC
I do remember there used to be transfer thread updates on players in the past. I'll keep tabs on that transfer thread instead. Thanks
if that doesn’t prove the sun just makes up horseshit for clicks, I don’t know what else would

The Sun and it's not even Custis (who is shite anyway)
Don’t get me wrong, I’m pretty optimistic of this deal getting done along with Eriksen and more after.
However, the last 10 years would be enough to make anyone believe that with this club, no news is bad news (and while we have regular reports we have had no real news).
Apparently they only wanted his massive slabhead to mount on a La Masia graduate, but we wanted the whole thing gone.
De Jong for 60m euro net the Andreas sale would be a huge step in the right direction. Would be a great start to our season.
Yeah certainly would, gives me renewed hope of maybe being able to get similar fees for a couple of other players.
Oh come on. Give it a chance ffs. They’ve made a few good changes and are working on transfers. Just be patient and see what happens. What’s the point in otherwise ? Just going to make you miserable.
To laugh at it obviously...
I’ve been miserable since we lost to Leicester and the lack of signings isn’t helping. On the plus side, half the squad has left.

That's a feckin steal. That price can't be right.
How the feck have they managed to repeat the same tweet with the same information for over a day and it still keeps getting posted here?
It's similar to what Romano reported and Telegraph reported £69M with add ons included. Looks like this is getting close and will probably be a done deal by the end of the week.
No, it’s a fair value, imo. FDJ has high wages. The whole package is really expensive.
Yeah but I thought the basic figure would be higher, unless the add-ons are very easily achieved.
Would expect that's probably been a difficult thing to agree on. Barca wanting easily achievable ones and Utd wanting to make sure they're ones that ensure if he triggers them it's because he and the team have done amazingly well. Probably a mix of some of the latter and some of the former.
Wth?? Just went on twitter, first 5 tweets are about this? What is going on?

Everytime I come back to this thread there's like 50 new pages.
Dearie me, what a load of utter drivel!
At least make it something that sounds believable
Da fuq?
Skybet now 1/20
That Maguire stuff is utter shite, Blackburn is a terrible journo for transfers
The Sun started that rumour. Everyone thinks it's pony.
But if true why would we reject an offer like that? Could have reduce the De Jong fee too
