When and where? I mean, he played next to Busquets during his Barca days, didn't he? Who is a defensive minded midfield player. I'll give you the mobility stuff, because I don't know where to find some stats on that. What I found was, that Neves was supposedly 7th in terms of distance covered based on sqawka (https://www.squawka.com/en/premier-league-most-distance-covered/) which would suggest, that at least it doesn't seem to be an obvious issue with him.
And to your last sentence: a) I think, Barca spent so much money on him expecting him to be a more rounded player as he was and b) if he isn't the kind of player Busquets is, who is supposed to provide legs and defensive ability in all the lineups naming him, Bruno and Eriksen? Even if you put in McT or Fred, we know they aren't providing defensive ability so what would prevent us from being done on the counter with FDJ which seemingly doesn't apply to Neves?
Tbf, I don't think he is shit, just pretty average and we have a lot of that already.
They Reddy individual seems very well put together so I believe her. Neves it is then
Really should be taxed as a gift though?
She’s a closet Scouser!
Nah that was only because Mané was there. He fecked off and she started reporting on United.
I don’t think there’s a lot of difference (some perhaps) between FDJ and Neves when it comes to mobility. I think they both would be better with a “beast” (a more aggressive, defensively minded no6), especially in the prem. FDJ might manage without but I don’t think it would be ideal and why tether him? He can offer more roaming (like a shark, says ETH).
I need a positive tweet tonight, it’s been a trying day and some good news would see me through the night! Come on footy gods, deliver him unto us!
Yeah good point. Lets all remember the last midfielder we had, who was called a roamer... That went brilliantly didn't it? Wonder who it will be next "to finally unlock FDJs full potential". I guess Rice. Because it is so conveniently obvious and only the best is good enough for ManUtd.
What are the top 5 longest transfer threads all time ?
This has got to be getting close.

If you think neves is mobile I don’t know what to tell you. If we buy him and play him next to Fred we will be absolutely murdered.
Don't think there is anything closet about her love for Liverpool tbf.
From a Chelsea perspective, I don't doubt that we are interested but our priority is clearly to sort out our other positions first (CB, WB, RW?). Then we'd have to sort out the future of both Jorginho and Kante before we'd even do anything. If all of this happens and one were to leave then perhaps we'd move for him. But all of that sounds like it would take a lot of time, like towards the very end of the window timeframe. If Barca are still pushing to get him out and you still haven't got him by then.. 
Also, the two journos that wrote The Athletic piece haven't been all that reliable for us recently. None of the more known ones have either, like Law, Kinsella etc. Unless its Orny you lot should take it with a pinch of salt.

I know….I keep thinking there will be some insight….happens every year.
Well you absolutely convinced me with this statement. I mean, if anybody, you certainly would know.
Really don't get it these days... if that is a case of "I don't like the player", just say it and the discussion is over. But throwing BS arguments around to appear knowledgable?! I suppose each to their own.
Yeah a day of pretty much nothingness
It has been a kinda meh day today, after the excitement of the Sport change of narrative last night, I was expecting big stuff today... and we got nothing. Well aside from the Athletic giving their opinion on stuff
Romero the weather forecaster, surprising career change for him... suppose transfers just weren't for him
Glorified Daron Gibson, you’re just a glorified Daron Gibson!
he always says stuff like this, the twat
he’s a bizarre blokeHe's the ultimate twitter clickbaiter really ain't he
Absolute whopper. He’s definitely enjoying the constant attention that he’ll be getting from United fans from the De Jong saga
100%
You are the one quoting squawks stats about how mobile he is despite all the evidence of him being about as mobile as an oil tanker. I can only assume you have never watched neves play.Well you absolutely convinced me with this statement. I mean, if anybody, you certainly would know.

fdj on the other hand has played in a system where he showed he doesn’t need a defensive dm. (Btw don’t quote schone unless you know what kind of dm he is)
I think neves is a perfectly fine player. But we would have to spend 60m minimum plus buy another midfielder with him. That’s why I wouldn’t buy him it’s a ludicrous buy, that on his own will see us get melted.
honestly if you are buying neves on his own you might as well not buy anyone and go with mcFred and save our money for a striker next year.
are there other options, yes, they aren’t as good as de jong,will be hard to buy, but at least we wont get completely run over on every turnover if we get them
This guy's a fecking weatherman now or what?
Nope, that kind of blatant click baiting mean nothing namby Pamby hoity Toity nonsense is nothing but enraging. Curse you Romero, it was you that bought me here in the first place.
Bennacer would be a more suitable backup option for De Jong no? Neves would be such a lazy pick, not even the same type of player. I do wonder what we even pay our scouts for.
Must be hard to tweet cryptic shit the last weeks of the pre-season,chance for something happening is big,fecking muppet.
We don’t, they both fecked off with Woodward like rats off a sinking ship.
There will not be a hurricane
Things are happening. The sun just rose from the East. Barca believe it will set in the west.
Ha great, soon - or you could just spit it out! @Brownie85 has been saying ‘soon’ all weekend. It’s not a hard tweet to put out!
The one positive about these long sagas is that it fishes out the absolute bullshitters sooner or later.
At least let us get a 50k thread before you join Chelsea, FDJ. That's the real prize now.
Anything new to be made public?
