Ok, now we're talking.
Just saw this on Reddit: De Ligt liked Rio's post.
Matthijs de Ligt / signs for Juventus, lowering their average age to 56
- Thread starter Suedesi
- Start date

Give this guy a promotion if we sign De-ligt
I agree! The happiness and excitement of that post is priceless!Cheers mate
This could be the scenario of a tearful movie.
We see this every window. Means nothing sadly
See what?
The difference is he's a genuine elite player who barring injury will be the mats Hummel's of his generation. We already pay this much in wages to martial who'll likely never be a regular starter for France. Nobody objects to paying good money for genuine top drawer players. It's the kids who've done nothing and the washed up has beens getting paid a fortune that irks people.
Lindelof and Shaw are already good enough, slot in a world class centre half like de ligt and all we need is a decent right back, of which there are a few options kicking around right now. Of course we're still the second favourite in this race.
The liking of Utd related stuff on social media.
As far as I can remember it sees to be a good indicator as to if a player is going to sign. Could be wrong but that is how I remember it recent years.
Of course it could be innocuous or he could be playing silly buggers.
I refuse to unzip on this one!
I'm holding my zipper just incase.
he's quite dreamy. Squad will be lacking serious sex appeal after Mata and Herrera go, so that can only boost morale.
Come on guys! You can't seriously be believing that he won't sign for us!
He's getting more money, more game time, becoming the face of the biggest club in the world, his defence partner at Ajax is an ex-United player and the CEO of Ajax is a club legend here. Add to that, he is liking posts from our players winning CL here.
It's definitely on!

Not saying he's definitely being brought In, but anyone who's saying there's no chance is out of their fecking mind!
My body is ready
I just can't bring myself to believe in this. I can't do it to myself.
Ballbag is going to tweet any second about messi or money isn't he, the salty prick.
Imagine the conversation between MDL and Raiola:
MDL: I want to play for Barca.
R: They are reluctant pay us what we want.
MDL: OK, money is more important than playing for Barca.
Is that realistic? Raiola will do everything to earn his client a better contract but I don't think he will shit on his desire to go to Barca. Barca know this and don't want to give in to Raiola's demands.

Pretty sure Raiola would adore the idea of getting a big payment from us, then in a few years selling him on again to someone in spain and getting another fat wedge of cash. Just a matter if he can convince the player its in his best interest.
I'm both excited and terrified for the meltdown on here when he signs for Barca.
Pretty sure I’ve already seen a tweet(can’t remember who thought) that he had to decide better Money or Messi.
Ahh I should have guessed the ring leader!!
Ever thought about writing a manuscript? What an incredible imagination you have and to be quite frank, a God given gift for it.
Just imagine if we manage to sign him
Every great team is built on a great defence and adding this guy to the likes of Lindelof and Shaw will make sure in 2-3 years we have a fantastic defence. Shaw maynot be fantastic going forward, but IMO he’s a very good defender. Add a solid DM and we will be safe as houses at the back

on The surface it’s a no brainier, Barca or current United? Easy choice but it’s not. Yeah he’ll win La Liga’s and probably a few CL’s but he has the chance to become the face of the biggest club in the most watched league in the world. He’ll be adored, make more money and can become a Manchester United legend if he’s the catalyst for our return to the top.
I could be completely wrong but he seems as someone who’d take these things into consideration, not just the easy path to glory

Clearly a Rio fan. Get him on the
case and include number 5 shirt in offer.

The point wasn't to come up with a funny conversation but to lay bare what is going on. United are probably being used there. Again.
Every Dutch person I have met has been actually crazy. On that basis maybe there is a chance.
You're kind of right, but it's going to be more complicated than that.
It'll be 'Barca' but:
less-wages/non-guaranteed playing time
vs us and
more-wages/guaranteed playing time/still a big club/face of rebuild/get to play against financial doping/can still move on in the fairly immediate future.
Put it at about 50/50
Slabhead also liked the Rio post for what it’s worth
Woody you pull this off, and I'm gonna give you a free pass for a week, you bald prick.

I agree. We would be a much better unit with him in defence.Just imagine if we manage to sign him

I think Shaw has been outstanding. He is still a young guy. He has shown good things going forward and will be better in that area imo.
Raiola isn’t his agent though. He’s currently helping them get the best deal. Improve our squad, win stuff, keep De Ligt and his agent happy...he’ll stay here. It’s the same with Pogba IMO, if we were playing great football and winning stuff, he wouldn’t be pushing for a move. It’s the same with De Ligt, but again, we will have to do a lot better on the feild
He would be a bloody fantastic signing. Hope Woody pulls it off, I'm not optimistic for now though.
You guys can go ahead and get your cocks out but mine is staying firmly in my skinnies. If anyone has a problem with that that can go ahead and calll kermit.
My little fella has been burnt too many times before.

When push comes to shove, think Barca will pay up and that will be that.

Agreed. I think the Mino using us as a bargaining chip is still the most plausible theory IMHO
