The report says only if things break down something I don't see happening besides Chelsea seem to have a scatter gun approach this summer much like Woodward 13/14.
Seems so. Chelsea so far remind me of the start of the Woodward reign.

I watch his videos semi-regularly just for the entertainment value but the other day I had to turn it off he was really getting on my nerves moaning about how we had negotiated the De Jong fee down and that was somehow a negative as it saves the Glazers money :houllier:
Someone will put in a super chat and calm down the ones getting in a panic over nothing, it's purely a tactic to try and hurry us along to get deal done.

Think you have absolutely nailed it there, have seen this happen so many times, we needed a shove from Ronny so if this leads to action I'm all for it
Obviously I'm just a nobody on internet talking shit but putting w and 2 together it does kinda make sense considering that they want cash and want it fast.

Hopefully it'll be done by the time we're flying over for preseason.

He may prefer to stay at Barca but when he realises that there forcing him out and how much were trying to sign him then it clearly shows that we’re showing we admire him more then Barca do, which is why when he signs and plays for ten Hag who he clearly has a good relationship with then he’ll fall in love with the club and our fans. Not everyone that signs for teams are entirely convinced it’s the right choice but with time they get convinced by the project.
I really hope that he will see he was seen as surplus/expendable at Barca and get a warm welcome at United. Unfortunately I think he can be a boss in an ensemble but I'm not sure how on earth he'll respond to meeting United's midfield options in training, let alone having to play with them week in week out.

If it's not a fabrication by the media perhaps it's a ploy by barca ro force us in finalizing the terms faster.
Yeah I don't believe it. Chelsea themselves have bigger fish to fry. They got Jorginho who has been doing great under Tuchel and their targets so far this summer have been CB (Kounde, De Light etc) and attackers (Raphinha).

Midfield is pretty far down their list of priorities.

So what happens if Chelsea come in and buy him and agree to all the ad ons etc at the last minute, makes you wonder why Utd have taken so long

Jorginho is probably leaving

Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.
So Chelsea who need at least two CBs, have let Lukaku go at a huge loss and want to get rid of other huge money attacking signings Pulisic and Werner, who have seen their main CB target Kounde and 60m Raphinha bid gazumped by Barca and failed in a last-minute bid for Richarlison are now suddenly - after 6 weeks - going to invest 70m plus 300k wages in a CM? Yeah makes total fecking sense.

If Chelsea are really after him it means they are likely using Jorginho in a deal for de Ligt. Can't see it happening though.

some people are just too uptight :lol: Who cares?
I'm not uptight at all, but thanks for the concern :lol: just find it weird that someone continuously gets bent out of shape over a journalist doing his job. There's way worse bs merchants out there to get wound up about.

@Summit I'll edit my post to reply to you because I've run out of posts for today, as I said I just find it odd why Romano gets on his nerves so much, and I'm not the first to call him out on it, it's just very strange behaviour and I was just curious why he bothers him so much.

There's no doubt that Romano rightly has the reputation of the tap in merchant sometimes, but there are way worse ones out there like I said. It's just @Berbaclass jumps on every Romano tweet like clockwork and I just find it odd, that's all. Anyway I'm done now, no posts left as I said. Have a good day @Summit @Berbaclass no hard feelings I hope :)

It's weird that it seems to get to you so much.

He didn't seem bent out of shape to me. He was just making a joke tbh. You seem bent out of shape with him though. Weird init

Are you ok? You seem stressed?
