Never in doubt. Always believed he would join us.

Wait, we've always been 'confident'. It's been said that United hope to have it completed 'in the next week' for 3 months. How is this news?
Those two would make a very satisfactory midfield pair. I’d play Eriksen in front of them, Bruno and Sancho on the flanks (the three of them interchanging) and we’ll need a new striker (keeping the various guys we have to provide options/ backup across the front four). I think we could be genuinely competitive.
You must have been on shed end lad. We’re full circle now!
Nice! I would say let's get the beers ready in celebration... but that's the last thing I want
The wages aren’t really deferred though are they. He signed a new contract with an escalating wage to compensate for the initial reduction (unless I’m mistaken on this?). I still haven’t been given a reasonable explanation yet as to why United couldn’t incentivise the player with a signing on bonus, commensurate with the excess wages he would have received over the coming years.
I’m not saying United should or shouldn’t do that. I just don’t understand what would stop them from doing this.
I hope you didn't light it up.
I genuinely smashed it on at 4/1, so I'm praying to God this is happening.

As many have already said, this is not really true. I suspect you don’t really believe it either. The greater risk will be against low block teams who break at pace.
How much and with who?
Does feel like we are only looking for a goal scorer type if Ronaldo leaves hence the links to low ones like Morata, Kaladzic and Icardi
It just wouldn't be a true muppet saga without it going up and down like a YO-YO, on and off 100x and muppet suicides everywhere, until the big pay off.
This one's had it call. Get ready boys

@Penna did the rolling eyes not give away my true intention?!! 
I kind of do believe it though. Even if "anyone with a bit of.." was hyperbole, admitted. All three of them are mentally weak though, is my suspicion, doesn't sound like a good midfield mix at all to me.
Ill fill up the cooler and wait for you to man up
Hair of the dog always works for me. Obviously that’s dependant on you wanting to be drunk again, but hey it might help at tea time!
Skybet, and 50
.Long way to go, but will buy a bottle of advocaat if Frenkie does the right thing.
I missed those!@Penna did the rolling eyes not give away my true intention?!!

never works like that for me, if ive been smashed the night before i could have 20 and be pretty sober.Hair of the dog always works for me. Obviously that’s dependant on you wanting to be drunk again, but hey it might help at tea time!
Fixed
Would love to know who deleted my beautiful couplet for being "too crude"
You really smashed it mate. What are you going to do with your windfall next week?Skybet, and 50
You deserve a nice vacation at least
Anyway, if he plays at all tonight it'll be a bit of a downer. If he's not even on the bench, we can maybe celebrate a bit.
I did. It was.Would love to know who deleted my beautiful couplet for being "too crude"
The confidence has gone for getting him since it came clear Chelsea are interested. If it was only us after him then I’d say we’d get him but if it’s between them and us I think he chooses them.
Celebrate him joining Chelsea?
Although obviously a dubious source, it’s interesting that Van Gaal may have started the window by keeping a player away from us, and end the window by helping to nail our number one transfer.
No way he’ll want De Jong warming the bench at Barca before the World Cup.
Bit of a weird thing to post after the flurry of stuff that has come out today really.
Good man, keep steering the good ship ‘Muppet’ as we navigate these difficult waters. It’ll be calm and relaxed soon
Tell us you don’t obsessively read every page of this thread without telling us you don’t obsessively read every page of this thread.
The Chelsea rumours are dying down now... to the point where they're apparently looking for alternatives? I dunno if its true or not
Or any of the days before today.
Yeah I know, its just funny I think. Not the best poem in this thread was it? Never understood the whole phallic/unzipping/masterbatory aspect of transfers on here. I enjoy a good signing as much as the next guy, but I for one won’t be fiddling with myself over it.I missed those!

We're approaching calmer seas... just need to maintain heading and keep all hands on deck
Even eriksen?
I mean admittedly rabiot is a bit of a crybaby while de jong seems to be the pretty boy type but to be honest I haven't seen anything from eriksen to suggest him being mentally weak.
