I call bullshit, I doubt we would have waited so long if he had turned us down, im pretty certain ten hag made sure of that beforehand.

If anything was holding up this transfer it was Barcelona trying to screw him over his deferred payments, everything else to me seems like media generating clicks.

Agree with the last part, our board have seemingly done well, especially if end up getting him.
Except he hasn’t turned us down. He wasn’t keen on moving to Manchester or to United considering we’re at least 3 seasons away from challenging, and would have preferred a move elsewhere if given the option, except he doesn’t have any options as United have played this situation to keep everyone else out. He’s never rejected us, he just doesn’t want to leave Barcelona and we’re not exactly a massive draw right now so it’s been a big game of ‘let’s wait and see what happens but we’re always here’.

Tell you what, you go check that out and let us know how it goes…….
I've been on the internet long enough to never venture that far, even with safe search on

(had a very quick search, and I used incognito) google works with synonyms so it just find the query 'girl' so the punishment would be valid

Sport properly going for those clicks.
To be honest, I tried to trace that back because it looked odd they said he "never rejected but refused to negotiate" without sorting deferred wages and hours later said "no longer refusing to join United" (turns out they never published the latter, it's just babelfish).

Sport just published a single article today (very much in line with everything we believe to be true, including ETH being in touch with FDJ and positive it's ON).

Then utdreport and ManagingBarca dissect and shoddily translated that in snippets for you over the course of the day. They are introducing noise/contradictions and working the click machine, not Sport, which is simply fulfilling the same role Marca plays for Madrid.

Fair but I genuinely think we're not in the know about this transfer as much as we think we are, when barca is involved im sure a ton of media shothousery by them gets involved as well.

Im sure We'll find out after the fact what really gone down but right now I'm not sure.

Delete that. :nono:

PS: I'm pretty sure that it's been erased from the internet, it was one of the silliest thing to attempt.
Ummmm I don't think it has.

Fairly certain my daughter was talking about it before when she was linked it by a "friend". Just utter stupidity on so many levels

Yep. The aggregator accounts are terrible — especially that managing Barca one. Kudos to the transfer tweet king @mazhar13 who has been busy throughout this summer basically caveating loads of both parties tweets to say “well actually the whole article says…”

The guys calmness was stuff of legends.
Also Nothing ever really gets erased from internet if you're willing to search hard enough.

Mitten, Whitwell and some other bloke have explicitly said those things in detail on podcasts
They are not sources. Lack of sources does not mean lack of facts but it does suggest lack of credibility. It may all be true but it sounds vague, post-rationalised and probably all (or mostly) made up.
