Looks like this is not happening, at least not to ManUtd. Hopefully we have other transfers lined up as backup option.
You said the same thing with Griezmann. How can we trust you?Keep it together. It’s us or Barcelona.
Perfect *chef's kiss*
And we still have a long way to go !Well we've just reached the 2019 Sancho thread page...
Impressive
There's simply no way of reading our club.Looks like this is not happening, at least not to ManUtd. Hopefully we have other transfers lined up as backup option.
Give it time... It'll happen.And we still have a long way to go !
To make us panic and help with his money owedWhat's in it for ffpolo to just make up something like this, besides the obvious clickbait? It's such a bold statement. If they really are clueless and he ends up joining Man Utd, it would ruin what credibility they have regarding transfers.
Are they just a Barca mouthpiece trying their best to encourage Chelsea to make a bid? How would that even work? Surely Chelsea would already be in contact with FdJ's agent and know full well the situation.
Any media outlet sticking their neck out like this seems pretty conclusive, if for no other reason than I can't understand why they would make it up...
Romano and other tier 1 Journalists have been saying for around 6 weeks that FdJ isn’t interested. The only thing going for United was the thought that ‘we surely wouldn’t chase him for 3 months if he didn’t want to come’ when in fact we have one of the worst boards in Europe that’s exactly what we have done. Just like we need a forward and don’t have one.What's in it for ffpolo to just make up something like this, besides the obvious clickbait? It's such a bold statement.

Alot of it is barcelona briefings.99% of what's been reported on this is people guessing and speculating.
The only people who are directly involved who have made any specific comments are Xavi and Laporta and even then, they've been as neutral as possible. We want him to stay but it's complicated.... type stuff
How would that even work. ETH is in daily/regular contact with the player or his agent at least. He will definitely know whether the Chelsea interest is real or just made up by Barcelona.It's all bullshit and crapstirring from Barca.
They want United to panic and pay off de Jongs wages and they're using the Chelsea interest to do so. It'll either work well for them, or it'll backfire big time. Lets wait and see

Toit like a toiger
Id agree with this, but I dont think someone like Harry Redknapp comes out with saying he knows for a fact he won't join and he has a strong source (obviously fergie). I just cant get passed that and all the noise is now about Chelsea. I think he was going to join us but now a champions league club are in were second choice. Hope im wrong.Alot of it is barcelona briefings.
In fact most of it is.
Dead silence from tier 1s in england, other than the occassional opinion piece/tweet.
And John Murtough wouldn't have made that grin when someone asked him to get Frenkie.If he was going to Chelsea, ten Hag wouldn't have been as cheerful, when it came up in yesterday's presser. At least that's what I am going to keep telling myself.
Honestly he looked more nervous to me than cheerful. Wouldn't read too much into it.If he was going to Chelsea, ten Hag wouldn't have been as cheerful, when it came up in yesterday's presser. At least that's what I am going to keep telling myself.
It's not a clickbait, it's not in the title of the article, you would have to read it to see United or Chelsea mentioned. Now it's not a breaking news, it's a speculative paragraph, basically the article is about Barcelona need to sell players and reduce the wage bill, in that context De Jong's exit is welcomed but the player has no intention to make it easy. Chelsea are increasingly interested and could be enticing because they are a big club and play in the CL, unlike United. That last comparison/point is totally speculative.What's in it for ffpolo to just make up something like this, besides the obvious clickbait? It's such a bold statement. If they really are clueless and he ends up joining Man Utd, it would ruin what credibility they have regarding transfers.

My God what happened to you man?! Carried the thread for 2 months and fell at the last hurdle. Really sad to see a muppet fall...Id agree with this, but I dont think someone like Harry Redknapp comes out with saying he knows for a fact he won't join and he has a strong source (obviously fergie).

You should take me with a big grain of saltYou said the same thing with Griezmann. How can we trust you?
As an older member of the forum, I can say categorically that redknapp is a salesman who tells great stories but rarely does he have any inside knowledge to our transfer dealings and is just basing this off heresay from who knows what bloke he spoke to down at the pub.Id agree with this, but I dont think someone like Harry Redknapp comes out with saying he knows for a fact he won't join and he has a strong source (obviously fergie).

Where you are presenting something as fact in a transfer thread you need to provide a source. Then people can form an opinion on the source and the bigger picture. If he made it up or he was told it by a dog down the park our opinion is going to be very negative about him and his inputIs he allowed to say what he thinks without citing a source or am I missing something? I thought forums were a place where you can express your opinion and others can agree or disagree.
100%. Absolutely true. Well spotted. He even cracked a joke. It's on like never before!If he was going to Chelsea, ten Hag wouldn't have been as cheerful, when it came up in yesterday's presser. At least that's what I am going to keep telling myself.
Then I wish we would and put an end to this 'Mexican standoff'. We either want the guy or we don't, lets stop pretending and pay the money, or shut up shop!They want United to panic and pay off de Jongs wages
Thats the other blokeMy God what happened to you man?! Carried the thread for 2 months and fell at the last hurdle. Really sad to see a muppet fall...
Obvious difference is the player actually wanted to come
Don't think it would affect him either way though.If he was going to Chelsea, ten Hag wouldn't have been as cheerful, when it came up in yesterday's presser. At least that's what I am going to keep telling myself.
The man doesn't get nervous.Honestly he looked more nervous to me than cheerful. Wouldn't read too much into it.
We don't know if de Jong wants to come or not. All he's said is he'd rather stay. It's the media thats said he's ruled out United, and even at one point ruled out Chelsea.Obvious difference is the player actually wanted to come
