Do you not think it's embarrassing going on so long. If he really wants to come here, you would think a deal would be done by now. Flogging a dead horse, imo.

Not even remotely the same. Chelsea are a much more credible contender for the league title than we are and much more likely to be involved in the CL consistently than we are these days. Hell, Chelsea won the thing like two years ago.
Not saying De Jong in fact prefers Chelsea, but there’s a case as to why he could.
No, not at all. He's owed 17m euros and he won't leave until that's sorted. It was always going to drag on and the club briefed as much.
feck sake. Going to be a tough day in here with this getting quoted for the next 12 hours.
I really, really don’t get this. Why would I be embarrassed by something that’s way beyond my control?
Embarrassing is walking down the street and tripping up over your own feet, not the football club that you support trying and/or failing to sign a player.
And beside, you’re ignoring the minor issue that he feels like he is owed 19 million Euros, would you walk away from that money?
I can’t keep up! Just shows how quickly our fans quit on anything. The same people will prob be screaming for ETHs head within 6 months
Undoubtedly. Such short-termism.
Next week it will be Frenkie has decided to enter into a same sex marriage and thinks Manchester is a poor city for such arrangements.
You got mauled by Gladbach of all teams
I mean if he's that serious about not joining United, he should just retire, right?
The monies he is owed is going up every day. If he stays or leaves his contract with monies owed will have to be sorted, Right or Wrong. There is more issues than the monies he is owed.
He'll blame Brexit
It think the only consistent thing during this complete tragedy has been the amount of £17m, to be fair
Maybe I need to put some highlights on this.
ETH has said it’s FDJ or nobody else, he will develop someone that’s already there. That’s why they are hanging on to the end, they aren’t chasing an alternative to FDJ.
so anyone saying walk away now, why? You may as well hang in there. If you can’t take the suspense I suggest you stop reading about transfers for another month

Surely the opposite no?
The only ones coming are about 300 muppets who have been edging since the start of July.
This one is in the bag.
Ronaldo didn't join you for CL, he joined you for money.
Money that he's now not getting due to you missing out on CL, hence the drama.
Bad news. Deep down we’ve all been expecting it though. Time to move on.
Yes, and the reason his girlfriend doesn't want to move to Manchester. They have just got engaged and bought a mansion in Barcelona.
Might as well be from the Daily Star
It's a really shit source that has been spouting the same stuff for days or weeks, though
What are you talking about man
Please stop saying monies, it’s far more embarrassing than anything a sports team can do. You are not a cartoon meerkat (I assume).
Sorting out the money is the reason he’s staying, to get it sorted. If he leaves with nothing on paper then he won’t get the money he feels he’s owed, hence he’s sticking around until there’s legal assurances of at least an acceptable amount being paid.
Look here - I’m not having you sully the great name of sport. They haven’t been reporting that same stuff every day for weeks - it changes by the hour
They're complete shit.Look here - I’m not having you sully the great name of sport. They haven’t been reporting that same stuff every day for weeks - it changes by the hour
That's true, one of their parallel stories has been him flat out rejecting Manchester the whole time, though. Simultaneously only wanting to join United. And Chelsea.Look here - I’m not having you sully the great name of sport. They haven’t been reporting that same stuff every day for weeks - it changes by the hour
Maybe they're ahead of the curve and reporting on Frenke de Jong in the Multiverse of Madness?
Twitter handler with less than 500k followes should be banned.
They're as credible as snakesoil.

Oh no... Sport strikes again.
They don't give up do they. Well at least it's free comedy

I honestly think Sport is the worst written publication in human history.
It's not even funny these days.
"Written"? It is clearly scrawled by children with crayons.
How can you sign two players if you get rejected by everyone?Been rejected by literally everyone
Really? Have you been under a rock for the past 9 years? Exactly the type of shit we’d pull.
Hold firm, this is still on.
Barca propaganda to test our resolve in not covering his deferred wages. I refuse to believe otherwise
