Alex hunter on talksport probably best explained the situation with barca finances and the de Jong transfer saga

Everything points de Jong 100% wanting to stay at barca and the only way he moves if he is forced out of the club kicking and screaming by not accepting to lower his wages to stay at barca.

I really don't see why we entertaining this move, i know ten hag wants him but it's degrading to the club that we are seen as the booby prize for de jong and would like to see us moving away from such situations like this.

what is it going to look like if after chasing after de Jong all summer, he does end up preferring to cut off a huge chunk of his weekly salary to stay at barca over joining us on improved wages.
Oh no... do we have another bell ringer here?

Yes reports say he wants to stay but he's said nothing in the last few weeks and nothing since a fee has been agreed. He could have easily put a stop to all of this and said "I have no intention of leaving, and I'm open to any resolution that enables me to stay".

But no, nothing. We have no idea what's going on behind the scenes. We don't know what he's saying to Ten Hag, or to Barca or to United in general. And I can guarantee you no one on talksport does either. The only ones who know the truth are ten Hag, de Jong, United and Barca. Aside from that it's all guesswork and opinion with scraps of info thrown in

iHickey really padding the numbers in this thread, the officials may have to take a look at how many post have been recognizing his brilliant song and bring the page count back to a more accurate representation of muppetry.
At this point this thread is like camp fire. Everyone laid back just enjoying themselves waiting for red dawn.

In true transfer muppetry madness. To the tune of Stan:

My team wants me sold, I wonder why
I went out on tour at all
Morning rain clouds up my window
I'm Avoiding Ten Hag’s calls,
And even if I could, i'd call my agent today,
But my wage from this transfer stall
Reminds me, that it’s not so bad
It’s not so bad.

Dear Frankie, I text you but you still ain’t callin’
I left my snapchat, my whatsapp, and my home phone at the bottom
I put two offers in in autumn, you must not’ve got em
There probably was a problem with our fax machine or something’
But anyways, feck it, what’s been up man? How’s Xavi's Barca?
I heard they're in a lot of debt, at least, according to Marca
If we have to start with Martial, guess what ima do?
Im gonna have to sell Ronnie
I read about Xavi too, I’m sorry
We had the same thing with Ole, that bitch wouldn’t play Donnie
I know you hear this everyday, but I’m your biggest fan
I even got those old Ajax training ground videos with you and Staam
My phones full of your insta reels and your pictures man
Your transfer turned redcafe into Rawk too, this thread is fat

Anyways I hope you get this man, hit me back
Just to chat, i don’t mean to nag,
This is Hag
Gold :lol::lol:

It's a fascinating thread and am reading / posting with pleasure, but sometimes I look at the number of posts and it comes off like we might be signing a peak Messi or a 25 year old Ronaldo from Madrid....it's Frenkie De Jong- who Barca are happy to let go because they have a couple of 19 year olds who are showing promise

He will be a massive improvement in midfield given we are looking at Fred and McT, but let's face it, he's a deep lying midfielder are we're bouncing around the caf like we're signing someone who's gonna set OT on fire.
He absolutely IS going to set old Trafford on fire. Frenkie is unique - a playmaker who will transform the way we play and control the middle of the park. He is everything Pogba failed to be and more. Better than that we are getting him with the coach who gave him his big break, and who knows how to get the most out of him. It’s going to be beautiful, and he may not score all the goals himself but he will be the start of the move, the creator, the instigator and with him behind them Bruno, Martial, Rashford and Sancho will fill their boots.

In my mind he's coming across like a Pirlo type player. Great distribution / ball retention who can retain possession and get the ball out to those who make the magic and he sits back like the midfield general.

I guess. He is the first player to receive the ball out from the back. The magic flows out from there. He oozes quality. This is why Neves/Tielemans would be such a huge downgrade should we go for them and why it’s sensible to wait it out, assuming we must have assurances to still be in to this long.

Guys, I've been off this train for a week now.

My mood has improved, I'm more present, more focused...

Honestly, you'll feel a lot better if you let this one go.

Can honestly say I feel good and fine, and the confidence that he'll come is still sky high

You are wumming right. Tell me you are wumming!!
Genuinely not wumming (had to google that to make sure it was what I think it means). I have little to no interest in modern apps and don't have a tik tok / snap chat / insta account etc. Modern slang means bollocks all to me and my kids can speak to me in proper English if they want a reply. I'm a good laugh but at 44, I can't be bothered downloading apps and modern slang when I should be more focused on shaving hair where I don't want it to grow and losing hair where I don't want to lose it!!

I like to watch Yellowstone on channel 5, kevin Costner, just to top off how cool I am

Come on mate. It’s a quote from the movie Snatch starring jason statham. An iconic movie and the best of all its from our time.
