I don't see this tweet on his account anywhere though. Unless I'm missing something.I choose to believe this, if we have pulled out I don't think we would be briefing much, but who knows.

Is it true Gravenberch only wanted Bayern?That makes no sense though. You don't miss out on a striker because you were chasing a midfielder. The comparables would be Tchouameni who had only Madrid in mind. Gravenberch who only wanted Bayern and then Tielemans and Neves who have both not moved yet.
We've been linked with Ekitike recently and he's close to Newcastle. We've apparently parked talks over Nunez to focus on FdJ/midfield first and he's potentially being snapped up by Liverpool. Then Spurs are trying for a couple of our apparent CB targets too.Jumping on bandwagon to bash United. That tweet makes no sense at all. No players are being signed at the moment by anyone. So we should not pursue good players who have reservation in joining us?
Simon Stone works for BBC so he will never say it's getting close unless it's almost done. That's how BBC work and keep their reputation of being "reliable". Stone's briefs will always be from the club's side and never from an agent. And until the club knows it's 100% done, they'll never brief him anything positive. So you'll find he's said similar stuff for nearly every successful transfer.It didn't feel like that when he kept saying Ole was safe, when 90% of fans wanted him gone, and he did survive longer
But I'm pretty sure Stone said similar stuff when we went in for Sancho the first time and he was right. We did leave it that summer as they were asking too much.
It has seemed to me in recent years that we've used him to trickle any negative news first though, prior to official confirmation and uproar from supporters. Especially when he just randomly makes such a throwaway comment like this that didn't need to be made if nothing has happened either way.Simon Stone works for BBC so he will never say it's getting close unless it's almost done.

Here here, especially those who profess to support the club.As a United fan, I am tired of people slagging off my club.
I can’t remember if he posted anything like this prior to the Maguire or Bruno transfer, but you have a point there. He’s pretty notorious for these sort of tweetsWhen Simon Stone posts something like this, it means the deal is getting closer.
Well yes, whether or not they were the right targets isn't the question thoughShame they've all been varying degrees of shite.
Finally! Stoney giving us negative tweet means this on like donkey JongSimon Stone Tweet.
Yeah just what I posted. Can't see it anywhere. Seems like these aggregator accounts have started making stuff up. Might be he said it on some podcast but then that's even worse as they don't mention the full statement or context.It has seemed to me in recent years that we've used him to trickle any negative news first though, prior to official confirmation and uproar from supporters.

EDIT: Where has this comment actually come from? Can't see it on his twitter account.
It's not even to do with learning. Most sources say we've made a bid for him, but he prefers Liverpool. He wants CL football.Tweet

And dragging out transfers..We are the king of preparing and exploring.
That has been the line since March/April.Is it true Gravenberch only wanted Bayern?
It rather looks like Bayern were the first and only one to come for him as Ajax were failing to extend his contract or even offer him one. He has been keen on Ajax since then.That has been the line since March/April.
He's also usually pretty negative in his assessments.Simon Stone works for BBC so he will never say it's getting close unless it's almost done.

Not really when he doesn't want to leave Barca, also we are unable to offer Champions League football eitherI thought Barcelona are skint and in a very very serious financial situation according to the media that's no laughing matter?! Yet there doesn't seem any urgency from this Barcelona board to resolve it
Barcelona or the league need to be more forceful. Barcelona have a very sellable asset in De Jong that wouldn't even hurt them by losing because they have Gavi, Pedri etc they are stacked in that position. Plus it's not like he's smashing it at Barcelona either. His form is patchy at best. So United are "taking all the risk" by taking a punt on De Jong for about £70M which is a lot of money on a punt. There's no guarantee he will succeed in the Premier League with his slight frame.. look at Donny.
I don't get the hold up to give Ten Hag his first signing.. the United board got Ole a signing early in Dan James and United are coming off the worse season in living memory. You'd think the board would be desperate for some positivity a signing brings. Doesn't have to be De Jong just get another body in. Bring some positive vibes going.
This SHOULD be one of the easiest deals in history to do.
It’s the levers! Famous ones! None of your bog-standard levers here. Mes que un levers!So one minute they’re in crippling debt and unable to buy anyone and apparently unsure of their existence..
Now everything is fine and dandy and nothing to see here !
Not fishy at all
They realised they hadn't oiled them, so Laporta rushed to get a can. Squirt, squirt, Frenkie's staying!It’s the levers! Famous ones! None of your bog-standard levers here. Mes que un levers!
He deserves to be shot if if he says “we will launch economic deals” and it turns out he means selling one of their best players!Could one of those economic deals not be selling De Jong?
