It's about us making assumptions about his desires/intentions. You've just misinterpreted it, that's all.So then how is it like he’s married to us?!
He hasn’t commited one way or the other, so he hasn’t cheated on us and he hasn’t impregnated chelsea. It was a silly analogy.

Those markets are notoriously fickle. A few £5 bets lumped on Chelsea and suddenly their odds will shorten significantly.Chelsea are now heavy favourites with the bookies to sign De Jong. We were favourites at evens with Chelsea 3/1, but overnight those odds have swapped.
What the feck happened?
Have some faith you cockroaches !
That’s actually a fair point
You know that was Laporta in his first period, right?
Laporta had promised to buy Beckham, but we sold Beckham to Madrid, so he went and gazumped our Ronaldinho transfer. Probably for the better as we wound up getting Cristiano, who was being scouted by Liverpool and Arsenal.
Aren't you making an assumption there? Theres no proof that he doesn't want to come, it's all reports in Spain that are saying that. All he's ever said is he'd rather stay, but he's never ruled out moving to United to the media.
I don´t know she just inspires me...
Us missing out on Francaise De Jeux is unproblematic.
Your employers paing you to work and you sitting in the FdJ makes them trustful and you suspect.
Your employers paying you to sit in the FdJ thread would make them either psychotic or a news platform desperate for sources.
Is there no other player in the World that could do as well as De Jong for United in CDM or a real prospect that's worth targeting?
I find that hard to believe.
I find that hard to believe.
Not sure if that was the case tbh. I think he was one of ETH's targets without barca offering him to us.
The fat cnut.
Why take shots at them? They agreed the transfer with Barca.
Or they're like every other employer paying people to sit at home refreshing the FDJ thread.
If United are confident. WHY are they confident? That would be nice to know.
Iirc there ware quotes from the player himself that he is aiming to stay at barca. Also there were some news that were probably leaked by his team. Albeit i can understand he's playing hardball due to what he's owed...but then again, he might really ne not into joining us.
It is possible that FDJ had given ETH assurances that he was coming but has now changed his mind after speaking to Tuchel in the last couple of days.....entirely possible.
Wasn’t it we agreed a fee, Kenyon agreed to go to Chelsea so purposefully fecked it up? We agreed a fee, Ronaldinho said to Kleberson see you in Manchester and then Kenyon made a lower bid that the amount we agreed.
It honestly stunted my emotional growth as I watched him win the Balon Dor that very next season
Don't be NegMups
My mood isn't detirmined by the transfer market or manchester united performances to be fair. It would be strange for something out of my control to be soul crushing.
I really want us to sign De Jong, i have no idea if he's going to come or not. If Ten Hag's still in, i'm still in. I'm buzzing for the season to start, regardless if McFred will be playing. Optimism takes zero energy.
So if he's really not into joining us, and going from our history with walking away from Timber/Brobbey, why haven't we done so now? If there was any indication, no matter how small, that de Jong didn't want to join us, then we'd be out of there. It would make no sense to stick around in the hopes he changes his mind. We've obviously been told something from FdJ or his team that gives us huge confidence. Maybe he really likes the sound of ten Hags project, maybe he's been told he'll be star man and always play in his favoured position... who knows
That’s all of the above.
No I'm just getting the impression from the various reports that, as you say, he'd rather stay at Barcelona (so, he doesn't to come here) but if it was unavoidable because of the economics, he would be open to moving to United.
It's also based on various reports that if he did have to leave Barcelona, he would be more open to a move to Chelsea than us.
I think the statement "Frenkie De Jong does not want to come to United" is a fair conclusion, based on that info.
I'm not saying he won't come, but it's not looking likely right now. And the fact United are briefing we're still confident of getting the deal done, I find a bit bemusing.
If one wants to marry a girl, do you really think it’s enough to receive her parents’ blessing?
But if we know that then everybody knows that and that works against us. I’m happy to trust that we have a reason to be confident and guess as to why. More fun that way!

We are confident because we have agreed a fee with Barca. De Jong's agent has presumably let it be known that his client is at least 'open' to a move to United if the deferred salary situation with Barca is resolved.
Chelsea will also have spoken to De Jong's agent and have good reason to be confident too, of course - in Ornstein's piece he says that they are now "optimistic" of beating us to De Jong's signature.
Snake if that's the case but will hold back for now
Yeah that's definitely the strange part
What do posters get from coming in here to post ‘I told you so’ kind of shit?

Because Eric.
Again, reports... we don't know where they've come from, who they've come from too. Could be planted by Barca to get more interest in him or to get United to pay up. We don't know.
It's like Ornys info, is it from England, or is it from Spain? No one else seems to be reporting it yet, and you'd think that with it being big news, more reporters would have picked up on it and verified it by now. Not saying it isn't true, not at all, but it's just a bit odd.
The fact that United are still briefing makes me think that we have more assurances from de Jong than we think we do on here. We wouldn't stick around for no reason at all just in case
I'll feel better if both United and Chelsea get cucked by Frenkie's love for Barca
Has this fat cnut heard of a salad?
I told you they would
