Correct - I don't want to see players coming here kicking and screaming - never usually works out well.
Frenkie de Jong | The last muppeting lap

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

The situations are very different. Those players all stand to make a lot more money coming here, whereas it seems de Jong would have to give up a huge chunk of money.
I still think he wants to come here. But not without getting what he's owed, which is his perogative given how that club has treated him this summer.
Could go back next summer because will probably be more open with Champions League, hell maybe he could actually be keener in January if Erik gets this team going until November.

He isn’t content with a bench role and this has been demonstrated many times last season.
He has a legal issue with the club and until its resolved he is going nowhere
They need to pull some levers to afford a revamp and register new posters
Yeah good post, I would happily take Memphis as cheap CF and he loves the club too
Sooo what progressing cm can we get that's good on the ball?
Yeah it's tricky
Well, that's a weird forum.
Spot on. FdJ and his gf can feck off.
He'll stay at a club where he's treated like shit and fade into obscurity wondering "what if".
It's still very costly for him don't you think? Not playing regular football comes at a heavy price, specially in a WC year. Also a lot could change in a year, he has a massive offer now, maybe next year it won't be there.
Initially I thought they'd bench him to push him out, but it really seems that he doesn't fit the current system they're playing, so even in a world where he agrees a pay cut, he still won't be getting regular football.
I understand that Barca are trying to feck him over, but I feel he'll end up losing much more by staying.

Maybe he is money oriented now and will be happy to be a Dutch Bale
I was hoping you, hellhunter, and brownie85 could get us there!
That's great and it's spot on, De Jong doesn't back himself to succeed in the EPL either.
That being said, we still need a central midfielder.
But without the trophies.
Yeah seen his name touted around on this forum before, has Ruiz actually joined PSG yet and I managed to miss it somehow
How is it weird
No ***** are welcome here.
They have a porn sub forum right on their main page.
Yeah that is a bit odd
Manchester United #NotForEveryone
As long as you contribute your 5 a day too!I was hoping you, hellhunter, and brownie85 could get us there!
What content do they even make there, the thought of football (and consequently united) lewd art existing makes me quite uncomfortable
Agree with most of that aside from Eriksen who gives me “you made me a financial offer I couldn’t really refuse“ vibes. He doesn’t seem to be that fussed about United. Maybe he’s just a very understated guy though and I’m reading that wrong.
This whole saga has said very little to me about deJongs mentality as a player. What is has told me is about his mentality as an employee who won’t be pushed around and constructively dismissed by his employer. We’ve already heard about his anger at the way he is being treated, I’m sure more will come out at some point in the future. There’s more here than meets the eye.
Does he?
100% this. He may love he city, but I’m sure at this point he club can get fecked.
If I was the, I’d just pull the plug….
So maybe if Utd show him signs of progression in the next few months maybe he will push for the move when he's paid what he's owed
Well wears a Utd retro shirt sometimes and that chain with Utd badge on as well
Agreed and thats what I believe as well.
But it also makes me think why ETH wants him given he wants players with certain mentality. Maybe there's more to this saga than what is in front of us.
Know it's a long shot - but would love to see another Korean midfielder run the show again. Talking about Kang-in from Mallorca of course.
Cool. Didn’t know that. Hopefully more than fashion accessories!
There has to be!
I’d say Martinez and Antony were desperate to follow ETH more so than Manchester United…but I’m just happy they are here whatever the reason.
FDJ is a very unique situation and I don’t think any of us would walk away from a job that owed us 17 million.

I just don't know what to think of him, may be he doesn't fancy us that much or perhaps he loves Barcelona and the life over there or just may be he wants his money. Whatever is the case, we need a midfield playmaker and we shouldn't hang around for him.
Well, it took up most of the summer, and yes we've rushed some late business through, but you can't help but be disappointed when it his signing looked more than possible.
