Not quite, still thirtyish pages to go to the record

Thought the Sancho one was 1320'ish, must've remembered wrong number then.
Guess it doesn't matter at this point, cause we'll get there by today or tomorrow… unless Berbaclass take a day off :lol:
 
To be fair, those assurances could have been made well before there was any Chelsea interest. Not saying this is the case here, but things change. We could have been his landing spot if he needs to leave Barca before Chelsea were involved
You don't honestly think that ten Hag hasn't been checking in and making sure that things haven't changed lately?
I'm betting that ten Hag is checking in every so often to see how things are progressing and if he's still interested in coming. If anything was to change, i don't think he'd stick about
 
This is like when you're at a club and you are chatting up this girl you really fancy for 5 hours thinking how great it will be when you leave with her.... then you go for a piss 5 mins before closing time and come back to find your mate with his tongue down her throat as they walk out the door hand in hand..... leaving you there ..... alone......again.....

Some of you will need break up therapy after Chelsea is confirmed
 
The agent wouldn’t weaken his negotiating position like that.

Yeah, makes sense of course. Just thought ten Hag link with the player could get us more information especially under the assumption we already agreed a deal in principle with de Jong regarding his wages (otherwise, we wouldn't bid?)

A proper mess all together.

except you have known the girl for nearly 2 years prior to that.
 


And here we go again :rolleyes:

I do love how these guys know all this, when de Jong has been totally silent. He's said nothing to anyone, yet these reporters seem to have the inside knowledge.

Have we developed mind reading technology or something?

Nah it’s nothing like that. Chelsea are not our mate…..

It definitely reads like he has said it in some form of press conference :lol:
 
Did Murtough or Arnold have experience in signing players previously? Genuine question, I'm not sure on their background but have heard Murtough in particular didn't work in this area at all previously.

They just signed 3 players in a short period of time. I have been supporting United for nearly 50 yrs now. I have never known a transfer as complicated as this. NEVER.
 
What I don't get is why we haven't pulled the plug yet. How difficult can it be to get a clear answer from FdJ? "Are you joining us if you and Barca manage to settle the wage dispute?" If he doesn't answer yes, then why would we spend another minute on this?
 
Oh… i haven't followed the thread that much the last week, so wasn't aware.
Well done to Brownie if he catches up… if that's a good thing.
I think it just proves i have no life... or nothing to do whilst on Annual Leave haha.

Literally another 12 days off work and absolutely nothing to do!

This is Man Utd we are talking about. Any absurd possibilities you can think of are on the table where our transfers are concerned
 
One thing I’ve learnt in this window is Spanish journalists talk absolute bollocks.. as soon as the reliable English journalists start saying we’re out then I’ll believe it.
 

Confirmed eh!

Barca are on the PR onslaught today... they're really trying to force Uniteds hand big time. In all seriousness, these guys just say anything and everything to get clicks, it's kinda getting boring now if i'm being honest
 


And here we go again :rolleyes:


The journos this year have been embarrassingly bad.. it’s almost like absolutely everything is simply designed for clicks, regardless of wether there is any truth in it or not..

How are they amateurs, Mr Football Professional?
First of all, calling someone out for their incompetence doesn't make me Mr Football Professional. Atleast try to be reasonable there but wouldn't blame you if you can't help yourself.

And yes, losing 2 first team midfielders, who were probably better at football than the clowns we have right now and not replacing them with a single signing is the reason why I'm calling them out. And spare me the "Frenkie or nothing" by ETH bs. The people running the club have seen how bad McFred were for the last 3 years. Trusting whatever ETH says(who isn't above criticism) is what makes them amateurs IMO.

I wouldn't wish McFred even upon our rivals, they are that dreadful.
 
Nobody gives a shit anymore.
Why are you all in the thread then if you don’t
To tell them that nobody gives a shit anymore.
Why you still in here like a bad smell?!
To tell others that nobody gives a shit.
Maybe, MAYBE the amateurs in charge of transfers at Man Utd thought it was a one horse race?

Why are you still here? You keep appearing with negative remarks to tell everyone you don’t give a shit?

Let’s hope you get thread banned for your own sanity as you seem to be losing it.

Cover all the bases and go pray in a synagogue, temple, church and mosque for this to get over the line in the next week.
 
On the twittersphere, transfer Dan (not sure of reliability) seems to think FDJ to Chelsea is cold

Can be done! haha

I think it proves now though that the Chelsea stuff is coming from Barcas end. We know Barca have been chatting so much shit this window we don't know whats real and whats not anymore

Better buy a bot to follow my posting history if you have nothing better to do. Will save you a lot of time.

So much anger....

Because despite many people posting like they're in FDJ's WhatsApp group, none of us really know what is happening.

That is true, united have been consistently confident it seems, it would be a real positive step if we get this done now.
