At this point it’s complete nonsense coming from Laporta. Did he have a stroke and forget what he was saying every day for the last month?

Surely united have a cut off date for the nonsense? A week or 2 till we move on to back ups?

United know a hell of a lot more than we do, so they'll know exactly what's going on. They're hanging round for a reason. Once United pack up and move on, then we know its done and dusted.

No matter what Laporta says to the media, or what sources leak, United will always have the truth about what's going on. Until a reputable United journo says its off, its very much still on.

It was. Just changed my vote to “walk away”. And now it’s time to walk away from this great thread.
I bid you adieu.
Don't give up now fellow muppet! This is far from done. We know the greedy paella scoffing twat lies at every opportunity!

Ah crap, well pack it up guys, we're done here.

Was fun whilst it lasted.
See you next year buddy! *wipes a brave tear*

No, our incompetence did.
Either we are very very slow or Barca owes Frenkie goes Manchesterwood money fromm deferred wages, i believe its the latter my friend!

You are officially not allowed to celebrate on Frenkie signing day.
Only unofficially if he keeps it on the down low!

Well, something tells me relying on barca can also spell disaster, so leaving it late is risky. Would not be surprised if the club end up being played somehow.

But I hope you the conclusion is quick

They were. And thiago was worse. Honestly this isn’t even close to those three.
I lurked for Thiago... I remember the night the Guadiola quotes broke, and the hearts of all muppets, including my own, shattered. We were mocking COPE as some ultimate BS Jesus station, but they were right... they were very right :(

It all ended very quickly after that night... that was heartbreaking to say the least

I imagine we'll try to speed things up a little, but I hope we don't go paying any of his deferred wages. Would be ridiculous if we did.

Seriously, feck these wankers and their stupid little games. You can't trust them.

But it might also be Romero being Romero and just talking his usual shite to get everyone's attention... I hope.

If we get neves instead of fdj it will be the end of EtH. same if not worse than going for fabregas and getting Fellaini.
ehhh how has neves become a shite footballer all of a sudden :houllier:

He's not as good as De Jong, but he's COMFORTABLY better than anything we have, and the type of player who would thrive in a possession based team.

Sneijder and Vidal sagas were a lot more entertaining. There was just more magic and fun nonsense. This one is just.....? Dull bullshit merchants and Barca showing everyone how not to run a football club.

He'll be a great signing though :drool:

He still has to take a massive pay cut, no way they let him stay on the same wages.

Sneidjer was never close though it was just delusion

I think he's took his wumming to the next level this transfer. He's constantly bigging stuff up just to post crap we all know. It's almost like he's trying to keep people hooked on his crap by any means.

Don't get me wrong, he clearly knows his stuff, but this time I just think he's winging it a little

Yeah I never understood the Sneidjer one on here was super weird. Was never any real reliable reports it was anywhere near close or even ongoing. Best ones have been Thiago, Vidal and Sancho.

Ffs, every time I come check this thread it takes me 20 mins to catch up on the posts. When I refresh new posts, I gotta come back in here and spend another 20 mins checking the fresh shit since I checked it the first time!

Thats not the point, it was still a lot more fun and entertaining than this shite. It was never ever on, this one is, doesn't make this saga interesting.
Yeah it was.....different. People were far more relaxed as it wasnt the end of the world if we dont get him. Unlike this guy.

How was Laporta elected? A real clown in the whole universe. Barca has an amazing fan base.

I remember watching deadline day on SSN during the Sneijder saga, and just before going to a break, they said:

"If you're a Manchester United fan, do not go anywhere, we're getting some very exciting news that you wont want to miss"

Came back from the break and not a single mention of it again. To this day I have no idea what they heard

I went absolute full muppet mode and drove to the Bridgewater Hospital where they used to do medicals to see if anyone was there, media and the sorts... and nothing. Not a thing at all

Nothing, Sir Alex has rubbished the Sneijder links and said we were never in for him. It was an utter press fabrication. Kept you tuned in though!

It did. I watched all day and when the window shut I was like what the actual feck? Since then, I've never really paid much attention to Sky Sports.
