We think it's finally inching closer to Frenkie out, but tomorrow we will get some Laporta quote about keeping him, and then he will start Saturday :lol: . Lets see if the news continues to trend towards an exit tongiht/tomorrow and then cross our fingers United have this.

Breaking news worthy of three red siren emojis coming up at 9am! We asked @gerardromero the burning questions... What are the things, and when will they actually happen?
EXCLUSIVE: It turns out the 'things' aren't football-related and 'it's none of my damn business whether it takes 15 seconds or 15 minutes'... More tomorrow when @cope list ALL the things that could fit in Laporta's briefcase. Number 21 will shock you.

We just cannot afford to let him go to Chelsea IF he actually leaves of course, they have more than enough quality in that area whereas we have very little.

Seems to have gone quiet on the Chelsea links... Romero is dedfinitely gearing up to ignite it again by saying Chelsea are starting to count their money... they'll be paying in €1 coins

Barca Studios is the place where they produce their own media, which would include stuff for Barca TV plus other productions for, say, social media.
Mutv can't bring an awful lot of money im guessing in terms of the whole pie. I'm asking primarily because I want them to be ruining their finances long term hence the queries. Thanks for your response.

This matches up exactly with what Jacobs and Romero yesterday said would happen. They said the meeting that was “supposed” to happen didn’t, and that the necesssry meeting would happen today and they would try and force a decision from De Jong

That looks like what is happening right now.

Maybe... maybe not.

I think at the moment they're looking into ways to get the players registered, and what levers can be activated to do that. de Jong will likely be a topic, but not the main discussion

Not arsed, he's not as good as the fuss / fee and wages.

He will underwelm imo, especially if he doesn't want to be there.
No chance, he oozes quality. And unlike Pogba, he is a team player.

On the first game of the season,
Laporta gave to me,
A squad missing Lew-an-dow-ski.

On the second game of the season,
Laporta gave to me,
Still no Raphina,
And a squad missing Lew-an-dow-ski.

On the third game of the season,
Laporta gave to me,
No Franck Kessie,
Still no Raphina,
And a squad missing Lew-an-dow-ski.

On the fourth game of the season,
Laporta gave to me,
No sign of Kounde,
No Franck Kessie,
Still no Raphina,
And a squad missing Lew-an-dow-ski.

On the fifth game of the season,
Laporta gave to me,
Fiiiiiiiiiive levers pulled...
No sign of Kounde,
No Franck Kessie,
Still no Raphina,
And a squad missing Lew-an-dow-ski.

I mean, we could sign someone like Grillitsch on a free transfer so that if FdJ didn't join, we'd have someone to progress the ball but if FdJ did join, we would now have cheap depth whilst also being able to play McFred less.
