Wouldn't mind him at CDM but it seems Liverpool have links already
Why would anyone care about Goldbridges starting 11?
Is Ragnick still the manager?
Just been listening to Athletic podcast and Mitten said a month ago the answer was FDJ was option a, b and c. Now he’s being told there is a list of plan B’s. I believe we will sign a midfielder.
I think Ronnie is so desperate to leave he will engineer a move too, so we HAVE to sign a forward, especially with Martial injured.
Hey, Cavani is still available!
Thank God. We must be close to moving on now.
Imminent. Embarrassingly imminent.
You shouldn't but this starting 11 looks likely - maybe Ronaldo starts though.
Dunno but I’d be concerned with Shaw at rightback. Inverting him seems very risky…
If that's the case, why aren't we moving on already? If we're at a point where we're no longer confident behind the scenes, why stick around?
The problem with Mitten is that, from what I've read on here, he's well connected with Barca and United isn't he? So where is the info he's getting coming from? Barcas side or Uniteds side? If it's Barca side, then I'd be a little skeptical, United's side, less so.
You need to stop thinking the press are a gateway into the mind and thinking of the club. Most of what that say is an opinion like anybody else.
Great stuff. Still looks like it's going to be done.Just been listening to Athletic podcast and Mitten said a month ago the answer was FDJ was option a, b and c. Now he’s being told there is a list of plan B’s. I believe we will sign a midfielder.

How would they know?
He’s not one to sensationalise so I value his opinion, but at the same time he gives a balanced overview rather than bigging up specifics so he doesn’t give much away. Listening I didn’t feel like it was particularly bad news - and he maintained his 50/50 view.
How we see him
How his wife sees him
Shut up, ****. I'm not leaving Barcelona, so, you better get used to playing CB this year.
Another one hedging their bets and refusing to say. Doesn’t really wash with me! Either put your neck out and say what’s what or wind it back in.

Ducker doing Ducker things.
You probably won’t give 2 flying shits if we sign FDJ.
That’s probably right to be honest except of course the full backs on the correct sides.
I’ll be shocked if Ronaldo starts after only 45 mins of pre season. Especially after ETH comments about him needing lots more training yet.
This is the arabic line-up you need to read from right to left sir
Fair play
Bit of an unpopular opinion here, so don’t shoot me. I know there’s some major meltdowns about Neves being the alternative.
I honestly don’t believe the gap between FDJ and Neves is as big as the feeling here seems to be. Having watched both play quite a lot, I don’t believe Neves is as bad as some think and I don’t think FDJ is as good as most believe.
Ultimately, we are getting FDJ to primarily dictate the tempo and play from a deep position and transition the ball back to front consistently. This is something Neves can 100% do. In fact, I personally believe Neves’ range of short and long passing is better than FDJ. I also think Neves is good enough against the press to be composed in possession and tight situations.
FDJ does have attributes such as being more agile and quicker than Neves. He’s a better traveller with the ball and can actually dribble past a player or two.
But for the primary role that we are looking to fill, I honestly wouldn’t be too gutted if Neves is the alternative. He would be a huge upgrade on McTominay.
Of course I’m still desperate to get FDJ but wouldn’t be too gutted with Neves.

Totally convinced it won't be that until Sept 2, well that's only if we can finally resolve this bloody deferred wages issue.
Neves would be class for us, there's no shame in him not being as good as De Jong. He's still a better footballer in his sleep than McT and Fred and would be a huge upgrade for our midfield. The real insanity will be if we sign nobody and persist with McFred for another season, it just boggles the mind that we might be prepared to do this.
We definitely need two and one of them has to be a deep lying playmaker even if it's not this guy
Would Neves even come?
Care to put something on the line if so confident
Maybe, maybe not. My point is we're in no position to turn our noses up at him.
fecking Glazers!!
You're joking right?
I think he’d come in a heartbeat. Bigger problem is how much wolves would demand for him.
Him & Mitten sound beaten and Whitwell doesn't give us much hope on it either
I would have him in a heartbeat but Wolves would absolutely rinse us.
I’ve heard a few reports now saying Chelsea and Boehly are prepared to spend upto £300m this summer. That’s insane but also worrying if true. Especially with regards to FDJ.
The optimism I have for this season depends on this signing.
If FDJ stays at Barca or goes to Chelsea it will undoubtedly be the worst transfer window post Fergie and that includes the summer of Fred and Dalot.
