And Thiago , Ozil , Vidal etc. Every year it's the same. Its fun to be linked with great players and watch the madness . Let Muppets dream , just let them dream, no harm in it .This is the Sneijder thread all over again.

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?

I have actually been lurking since that summer.you only joined in 2018
Don't tell me, you used to read the caf.
If a agreement was struck with Barca weeks ago... Then I find it weird that Rac1 and Oriol Domenech who are top tier for Barca news are saying otherwise.
I agree, if you are not coming why rub it into a team that is already in the doldrums?
Well co-ordinated, this stuff with the Instagram likes, this video and whatnot.
That is odd. Could it be we're playing mind games and letting Barca think we've given up before coming in out of the blue and dwarfing their offer?
Nah, Woody's not that cunning. He'll probably put in a £90 million bid for Slabhead in retaliation.
So we are either not interested, or he pledged to join them weeks ago, which completely contradicts which he says?
As per usual, nobody really knows anything.
I imagine we’ve put in a good bid and he’s waiting to see what else turns up.
I truly believe that De Ligt will decide in his holiday. Raiola is just trying to get the best options as possible right now. It's possible that he agreed something with Barcelona weeks ago but United have put in a better offer since.
True
And although I have no idea how it works within the football world, I do happen to work with agents where I buy and sell and so on and sure I can get into a bidding war but if an agreement has been made with someone else I am told that it is a done deal elsewhere, and than one respects that and keeps it's mouth shut until announcement.
So either Utd are still in the hunt or they have been told Barca deal is done, or at least that is what makes sense for me. Of course they can still be playing both sides to up the prices, but if it's done and dusted like some think, Man Utd would know there is no chance, they would not suspect it like some media says
If stone is saying I think it's over and we are just being used to make Barca look like they beat out the cash rich united to land him, Barca do have an excellent scouting network.
If that is the case, we should just come out and deny interest like city do once they lose out.
This 100000%. He's an extremely intelligent young man and doesn't rock the boat with his comments - keeps it simple and respectful. Add that to his obvious footballing talent and stellar leadership and you're right, whichever club gets him is getting a star - a phenomenal CB for the next 15 years and an exemplary bloke too.
The way they do it is nothing short of embarassing.
The CL ban of City would be very helpful here if it occurs to level the field, then it's money and prestige and we could beat them in that regard.
Barcelona? Yeah hopefully there is no sales until end of June for them and this is wrapped up based on their current situation.

This is what I think too. The reliable media from Barca side aren't convinced that they have him (which contradicts us believing that its a done deal for Barca), and De Ligt himself has just said that he'll decide his future after the Nations League. I think this will drag on for a while and isn't over yet.
It is, but at least they cut the cord and move on, helps ease fans expectations.
That scout who told Woodward to buy De Ligt and De Jong should be given back his job with a promotion.
Woodward and ole are trying their best to make this happen. Just need to convince the lad that United is where is best for his development.
Been told Mr Rio is he's nickname
Are you an ITK too? Or is that just your hunch.
Frankly, Barca isn't sophisticated or petty enough for something like that. On the other hand, City is.
But since this is coming from the Spanish press it's either Raiola or true.
It’s ryan Babel’s nickname
Stam would still be our best CB..
Romero says that he's close to United and then follows it up the next day by saying De Ligt hasn't made his mind up and will decide after the national games. Not sure why people are still taking him seriously.
The next day he was just relaying the news from ESPN. It wasn't his own info.
Must mean his initial information wasn't all that accurate. Surely you agree?
It was just sarcasm aimed at the Barca hierarchy to ring Raiola after the latest interview from De Ligt.

You can see his initial surprise as Babel is coming towards him and he tries to close it quickly whilst saying Rio, Rio in a nervous and sheepish mannner
Who the feck was able to make a pic of all those things he was viewing on his phone?
That's some Inspector Clouseau type of shit right there.

None of the players you mentioned deserve a bumper contract. Martial just signed a new deal and since just goes to sleep during the match.
I love it. First time I've seen the rather innocent kid side of him.
Also, the mob has ruined our fun on Reddit...seems a few nasty assholes have gone and publicized the personal information of one of the ITKs. What a horrid thing to do.
