.C'mon Frenkie lad, just sign for United.If Barcelona go into the 1st game of the season without their new toys on the pitch because they can't register them they will hound you out of the club.

Next step we're willing a transfer of Kimmich into existence
Starting to finally believe that this dreadful saga will be coming to an end (one way or the other) very soon.
According to Ben Jacobs I bet...
Also if an agreement had been reached I think the big outlets would be on it by now, such as the BBC.
Chelsea haven't been up front about it too, it's the guys who have been feeding the reporters the news, wherever its coming from. If it was coming from Chelsea I think we'd know
If he just agrees to leave, we got ourselves a new player lads.

You confident?
Tom Roddy? Can't say I've heard of him.
Reliable? Also why is no one else reporting it? When we agreed a fee or was close to it, we knew right away, even building up to it we knee. Very odd
And they are still heavily linked with a new RB and CF too, which could possibly take their spending on by a further £80m.
So all in all, potentially a £400m spend ..???
Has anyone actually read the Times article? It's absolutely nothing we don't already know and hasn't been reported extensively over the past week or so. It's more speculation and the sorts.
These reports are just rehashed stories over and over, nothing new, just chopped and changed a bit to make it seem new

There is also Ben Jacobs and bunch of tabloids reporting it. I don't know if it's true or not but it's out there.
Hell yes. Chelsea got shit against us.
we can expect a things are happening tweet shortly from Romero now that Frenkie's agent has shown up.
We have lost/are losing about between £150-200m worth of players to be fair, who will need to be replaced. Rudiger and Christensen we lost for free but those two alone, if they had a couple of years left on their deals would probably be valued at £100m combined.
I was saying before about Ben Jacobs, reddit guys seem to rate him at tier 2 or 2.5... I really don't know as I don't follow Chelsea reporters. Apparently he was good through the takeover but not sure about transfers
Here we go confirmed.
Things are HOT HOT HOT at Barcelona!

Hence the ffp question. On paper the richest club in england, Newcastle Utd could have gone on a £400m - £500mil spending spree this summer then. If ffp and financial accountability means nothing now....And they are still heavily linked with a new RB and CF too, which could possibly take their spending on by a further £80m.

Jacobs has been cheerleading for Chelsea the entire summer. He tends to add his own opinions to his tweets for the juicy factor. Here's what Ornstein noted about the Chelsea links.
That's it. The interest is there, they are indeed waiting to see what happens, but anything like FDJ prefers london and CL football is BS.
Jacobs claimed on a podcast or youtube vlog that he gets stuff direct from the club these days, which might explain how he had such inside scoop on the Boehly lot during the takeover. Might have a source within the group. But before the takeover id barely heard of him. I just know he is not a club reporter/journo
Pretty sure if what he was saying was true, everyone else would know. Chelsea wouldn't leave their top journos out the loop whilst this guy gets the best info.
Plus he'd have absolutely no idea what Uniteds stance on this is too, so he'd have no idea if we'd all but given up
Manchester United and ten Hag's pulls obviously not enough to bring the cnut to the club. Wants CL football and is not willing to sacrifice one season without it (assuming we'd be back in if we get our targets).
I think barca are getting desperate. They'll activate another lever, begrudgingly pay De Jong, he'll sign for us and Chelsea will say they were never in for him.
If it wasn't tied to the money he's owed, De Jong would've spoken out long before now. What the club have done to the players strong enough to stand up for themselves is absolutely abysmal. They have absolutely no shame.

Kind of similar to how Mark Ogden was such a clued up source during Moyes time.
An angry man is a pitiful man. Barca wins if he leaves.Extremely angry BUT still would rather stay

Alternative means alternative!
In fairness to Frenkie, his problems are with the Barcelona board, he probably still loves the club. Much like how we hate the Glazers, but we're still United fans.Extremely angry BUT still would rather stay

Centre backs I understand, but you have Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic, RLC and Gallagher who all play in that deeper role.
Will you be looking to offload one of the above?
I find it strange people on here are so willingly accepting that United agreed a fee for him and he's keen on moving here but immediately reject the possibility of Chelsea agreeing a deal and being his preferred choice, which to be fair makes perfect sense. We rarely beat Chelsea to any transfers let alone now that we are shambles and they are actually fairly good.
Whoever I suggest you would knock back
I'd take Gallagher in a heartbeat. Kovacic too.
We will probably buy Jorginho for £35m.
How many meetings will they have with no resolution?
I keep hearing FDJ agent meeting with Barca, this must be like the 4/5th time this summer they have met, yet there has been nothing.
