Probably upset, Barcelona sell them each seats for 10m per game.He is going to start their match this weekend right ? Seeing as they have not be able to register any of their new signings yet. Wonder how all those new players are feeling right now watching their first game of the season from the stands.
Kaveh is a serial joker most of the time, but this piece he said about Utd was pretty much spot on. Pretty grim summary.

Genuinely think a lot of the material around the club, particularly that produced by the journalists, is done to incite an emotional reaction.
Reporters can easily rock up to a SSN segment, with the barest bit of preparation, and simply refer to us as ‘shambolic’ or ‘incompetent’ or ‘directionless’ and they’ll get tonnes of retweets and social media interactions. That’s not to say we aren’t without reproach, but it is ridiculously easy to put zero journalistic integrity to a piece and still pull in big numbers, because it’s disparaging us. The substance of the article does not have to be meaty, it will be successful because it riles people up.
Part of the toxic culture of the club is how invested people get with their lazy, impotent, momentary anger when reporters say anything negative like this. The sooner we roll our eyes at these tidbits and move on, neglecting to give those who use this inflammatory style the attention they are seeking, the sooner it will die.
We talk so much about how little impact fans on the internet can have, however, we can impact that. Stop engaging with the deliberately inciting comments, stop fuelling the futile hate fire and let that part of our club’s circus die.
United are now apparently moving onto alternative targets. Surely that tells us something? Savic, Rabiot and that bloke from Betis. We wouldn’t be bothered if the club is still confident on the manager’s top target
Just be careful, Barca are one step from taking tourists hostage for some ransomHopefully, as I'm going to be there
Honestly.. the lack of a gap in his name in the title is still there and the deal is still not quite done.
YOU DO THE MATH PEOPLE
YOU DO THE MATH PEOPLE
Well then we are relying on you to have a word. Let him know that Manchester is the Rio of the North, all the girls are supermodels and he will be carried everywhere he wants to go by cheering crowds.Hopefully, as I'm going to be there
Nah. It's called bluffing.
Our bluffs is a bit shit considering our alleged targets are pure banter stuff.
But still...
Is this going to be their 5th lever?
We're signing Rabiot, its not a bluff, although he is also probably not the alternative
How much longer can we actually believe that Utd wouldn't still be waiting if he had no interest in joining and the saying he wants to stay just to get money thing
It’s happening.
He is right but also wrong. Reason for failure is not solely down to the debt. It's also due to the fact of the owners absolute refusal to get qualified people in for the roles above the manager and make sure they all work together as a team.
We are letting manager after manager give a list of targets and then the jackasses who are supposed to land them miss out on 9/10 of those.
I'd be shocked if we didn't get Rabiot.
I don't think he's the FDJ alternative though
Its definitely not bluffing
how bout as long as it takes to find out that is definitely not the case?
I think he's the ideal decoy.
His momzilla agent is the easiest way out of a transfer.
We're getting Frank.
I hope you're right. If it was a choice between the two, there's only one winner, and his mum isn't mental (as far as we know)
That's quite massive news. Athletic confirms that ETH has sanctioned the purchase of an alternative. Yet another nail in the coffin. It's so obvious FdJ was never coming to us
There is something a bit odd about it. We’ve agreed a fee but haven’t spoken to his agent yet.
I think there might be something more to this. We can't possibly have brought in a whole new raft of people who just make the exact same mistakes. I think to some extent, their hands are tied.
We'll never know this of course, but one thing is for sure, we really need the Glazers to go before we actually get back to being a proper club, capable of challenging.
Whitwell is confirming the opposite thoughThat's quite massive news. Athletic confirms that ETH has sanctioned the purchase of an alternative. Yet another nail in the coffin. It's so obvious FdJ was never coming to us
Just curious what some people on here who made this thread to 1,5k pages will say, when some of them was swearing this is done deal, and there is no chance in hell this won't happen.
Same for the people that were saying that ETH ain't stupid and DeJong have promised him to come, otherwise ETH wouldn't be so stubborn and waiting and waiting and waiting for him
I have said it like 1400 pages ago, we should have never ever even try to get players from clubs like Barcelona. Just focus on getting the best possible from smaller clubs and that's it.
DeJong ain't nothing special, and unless he was for pretty much for free, that was absolutely unnecessary. I just hope our result on pitch improve, or ETH will have very hard year, and it's going to be hard to defend him. This is all on you.

I don't think that he is a decoy or an alternative. My guess is that Rabiot is a profile for the player supposed to play next to De Jong/Fred/Eriksen. At the moment we have McTominay and Van De Beek.
" as the situation with Barcelona drags on Erik ten Hag has sanctioned the signing of an alternative midfielder "Whitwell is confirming the opposite though
99% of people agree on that but year after year goes by and they are still here.
While it doesn't means our pursuit for De Jong ends. Think it's the next paragraph in the article.
Bastard love child of Mark Goldbridge and Sheldon Cooper. Tool.
Truly humiliating if he goes to Chelsea after all of this.
I'm glad I don't know any Chelsea fans.

Romero saying he's close to Chelsea and knows his departure is imminent.
Spot on
Missing out on CL really screwed the rebuild.
Completely wrong again. We have spent more than necessary in the past decade. If the glazers had bothered with the implementation of a football structure, recruitment etc we would be competing with City and Liverpool no problem. The only difference here if there was no debt would be that we would have more money to throw until something sticks which would be be unsustainable. Our midfield is not a gaping whole because the money was unavailable but rather because its been ignored for 4 years now. For me the glazers poor running of the club has to door with their lack of interest in the football side of things.
Getting rid of Rangnick and his handover knowledge did that
Haven’t you done enough with the first sentence?
Poor Pidgey, there’s a dungeon with your name on it, fella.
