Frenkie de Jong | The last muppeting lap

[AltiUn]

Some website called TeamTalk reports that de Jong has rejected a move to United! Probably just more smoke and mirrors from the media.

They're just reporting the Sport story from this morning.

According to Spanish reports Barca will hog tie Frenkie, throw him in the trunk of a limo and drive him to Manchester to complete the deal.

Not THE TeamTalk?!

 

[sewey89]

You nutters made me read through 12 pages of baseless hysterical panic just for the deal to actually now be closer to being announced.

Try living through it.

When was the last time we signed a top, top young CM? I’m so excited after seeing cesc, kroos, modric, thiago etc play for different teams. This kid is a straight up baller.

Edit: Pogba I guess but he’s a different player to all those guys.

 

[giggs-beckham]

Need to step back to reality.

Plane crashes 'oh there goes gravity'

It’s gonna be like that ‘Ole’s first real test’ meme.

Frenkie scoring a hat trick in the CL final in his 350th United game. Romano: ‘What I hear today is that Frenkie is definately closer to becoming Utd player’

You didn't read through 12 pages though. Right?

We'll announce both deals tomorrow June 30 pending medicals. Regardless of how reliable this guy is.

To help both clubs with their accounting I expect.

Ah. Yes. 3-2-1

Hmm?

Hmm?

Autocorrect. Wanted to write "I hope so"
I could also just admit that I'm quite stoned and misread your post...

Skim read each page more out curiosity for the mental pretzels people were twisting themselves in to find something in absolutely nothing. Nothing better to do on the morning train to work

Hehe, I just read the first sentence of couple of posts and then head to the last page. Can't stand the suspense

 

[klayton88]

I wonder if he knows because of the Lewa deal as he is a Bayern source.

What are the chances Barca said you can have De Jong if you don't come anywhere near Lewa. Could see united going for him this summer otherwise.

 

[klayton88]

Farewell video? He's been there about 14 minutes.

We'll give Phil Jones one and he's barely played 150 games in 11 years.

A video to appease the fans

Martinez in his first year at Ajax played as a defensive midfielder and did really well. It was clear he was a good player.
Good tackler, agile, technically versed, positional awareness. It was really a surprise and unfair that Martinez was merely a bench player in his second year, because Ten Hag concluded that he was only suited as a defender. A quick look and you might not have noticed, but in 20/21 season he was often just a substitute or replacement for either Blind or Tagliafico.

And then this season we found a golden duo with Timber and Martinez, which drove Blind to left back and Tagliafico (Argentinian international) to the bench.
Martinez missed some games this year, but that was because of injury. Otherwise he was one of our best and most important players.
Ten Hag is not going to use him in midfield. Especially because he would also get in the way of De Jong.
You should forget about putting a pure defensive midfielder next to De Jong.
It would only limit him and Ten Hag knows that.

Can you expand on that?

I have the same opinion but can't really defend it, it's a gut feeling that I have had watching him play for Ajax, the ideal player to me is a dynamic but fairly disciplined midfielder not a pure DM.

Oh okay. Read both lines.

Yeah I could see that happening

Yeap. Its about optics too.

 

[calodo2003]

Is today big?

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Romero's 95 per cent tweet really has elevated his stature. I don't think anyone had a clue until then?

 

[roonster09]

Lewa wouldn't be interested, so it's pointless. He wants Barca and only Barca, he won't be playing in Europa.

 

[Chicharo]

Yeah, Lewa will soon be 34, I doubt he would like to spend his final years in a club that, realistically won't be able to compete for a major trophy for at least another 2-3 years

 

[swedishgloryhunter]

Big day today

 

[lex talionis]

A noteworthy announcement may be made soon.

 

[Sir Erik ten Hag]

got the whole fecking box out and ready to go for a double announcement.

This really makes me remember Van Gaal's first summer with us. We announced Herrera and Shaw consecutively in 1-2 days. They were also CM and LB. De Jong is also a CM from La Liga, just like Herrera.

Both were good signings, I miss Herrera, Shaw can still get back to his best. With De Jong hopefully we get our first elite tempo dictating midfielder post Fergie

These reports don’t seem accurate.

Barca can’t afford a Limo…

 

[hellhunter]

Think today is the 'subject to personal terms and medical' day

 

[allen7]

Double dutch signings this week ?
And Martinez, Antony signings next week?

 

[Freak]

More likely Martinez and Eriksen next week. Antony might take some negotiation with Ajax

 

[copen1945]

Erik is bringing much needed improvements to our midfield. Excited.
