This is like your tagline all over again. You just reported yourself and got a warning
Frenkie de Jong | The last muppeting lap

Yeah definitely need more
They supposedly just made a bid for Lewa. Does this mean we’re close to agreeing on a deal for de Jong?
The muppets fixate on one individual each summer. You just have to let if go over your head sometimes.
There's certainly alot less humour in here nowadays though. Everyone's on edge.
Pretty much on that now and due an increase from Barca from next month
What wage structure is that?
Yeah means radio silence until at least 30th
What can I say, I'm a creature of habitThis is like your tagline all over again. You just reported yourself and got a warning
(Which literally seems to be case as I just remember that i used the same phrase to respond to januzaji)
Spot on.
Why? We can still have a fee agreed in principle
Like to think so but gone proper quiet
We might have. That would then weaken Barcelona’s bargaining position with Bayern/Leeds if it was publicised, whilst doing absolutely nothing for us.
Today sam Luckhurst said we are giving a second bid.
Why? If anything it reduces it if we agree a fee lower than what we holded out for.
Not as much as if they receive no fee, obviously.
With Barca making a bid today for Lewa seems curious timing. Perhaps a deal has been struck with ourselves and we have to keep it quiet until the end of the month so they can wrap up the Lewa deal without getting fleeced
Least they could do after trying to fleece us.
You really got a warning for this?
This make no sense. They cant tie up these transfers prior to letting go of Frenkie. The clubs will know what Frenkie has gone for by then anyway
To be fair he asked for itYou really got a warning for this?
Just learned that Frenkie's dad is actually called John de Jong.
352 pages of nothing. Wow
Yeah it's oh so quiet, hopefully that means the storm is coming shortly
This was my first thought!
7 days of the club keeping schtum, surely if it's close something would leak before that
Long John De Jong silverJust learned that Frenkie's dad is actually called John de Jong.

I'm personally hoping for a 4-3-3
Just want to inform you all, after some extensive and thorough Googling, Frenkie De Jong's father is not fat.
Thank you.
"Ladies and Gentlemen,we got him he's not fat "
Thank you.

No one knows what is happening. I would think that the club will be ensuring to get him in by the start of preseason. Not paying too much attention to reports. But we’ll only know when we know. The rest is just speculation designed to elicit emotional reactions and clicks from fans. Judging by the state of this thread, it’s very successful.
Cue the “we are fecking useless” / “we better walk away now” / “move on to other targets” / “just sign one of the other 3,000 world class midfielders” / “He’s shit anyway” / “Just pay what they want” / “He’s another Di Maria” / “We’ll haggle all summer and then pay what they want anyway” posts.
I’ll be back in 5-10 pages for the next Twitter inspired collective meltdown.

The cancel culture is going too far!You really got a warning for this?
Anyway nothing too major just being asked to not be a repeat offender.
If we offer 75 million euro plus some superficially damaged Terry's chocolate orange (jubilee edition), that may be enough?
Allegedly Barcelona increased their previous bid by a meager 3 million Euro.
If they continue this way, they won't reach the 50 million Euro Bayern wants before the window closes.
Joke of a club.
Okay, but can Ryan Giggs recommend him?
We've been told over and over that De Jong is our primary focus and we won't move on other transfers until this is done. So either that changes or this "saga" gets wrapped up soon, otherwise it'll turn into another disaster of a transfer window
I think he can only recommend Strangeways at this point.
Couldn’t agree more.
Barcelona allegedly bid for Lewandowski today
Surely not doing that unless they have some money from us coming in?

The joke is offering almost 40 millions for a 34 years old with 1 year left of contract.
That is the joke.
I honestly hope we don't sign Lewa. We have more than enough to be in the TOP4 and reducing the wages for another year while some young players keep their development.
