For de jong to go to Chelsea after all this saga then I hope Eth will play me against Chelsea.
I'll get revenge for all the muppets in that match - mark my words!

Joke of a snub if so.
But you aren't ( I assume) a public figure who regularly appears in front of the media or gets asked about transfers. Also, even that guy telling you is totally unprofessional.
We're still a broken club, nothing makes sense really here
ETH in the mud
I mean I love your optimism, but this one is done pal. Chelsea will get him.
Hey hey, FDJ
How many hearts did you break today?
How many hearts did you break today?
What the feck? Why is 'Arry making an appearance in this saga?
I’d love to put a positive spin on it mate, I really would. But some of the words he’s chosen to say aren’t from an opinion. It wouldn’t make sense to me for him to state it so factually.
Yeah it's definitely over. Frenkie has been waiting and now that Chelsea are in for him he's thought "oh no, I need to sign the contract with United quickly before people think I'm interested in a club other than them! Mikky, pack your umbrella and bucket hat!"
What was the brief? From who? This thread is a mess of tongue in cheek muppetry, it's not even about updates anymore
My personal prediction is that FDJ will bomb in Chelsea
I agree. It’s very unprofessional which is what surprised me. Tbh, as I’ve got to know him through business he is a complete bellend.
Because it was dragging on so long he was given a cameo to reel people back in.
It’s safe to say chelsea fans are getting very excited on Twitter after Harry’s comments.
Its not even a priority position for them.
This saga will probably end Murtough's stint as DOF before it even properly begins.
You have to thing of it this way too, if de Jong was absolutely dead set on going to Chelsea, and United know that, how have no journos not found out yet?
I'd imagine if Harry was telling the truth, he'd have been told a little while ago, and for nothing to break from ANY journo during that time is kind of odd. It would be a big scoop for anyone to get, you know for a fact someone at Chelsea would have let slip, or even Barca themselves would have leaked it to their mouthpieces (i know Sport have said in the past he wants to go to Chelsea, but they backtracked and said he's not ruled United out, then it's a decision will be made, which infers he's considering all options).
I have no idea whats going on anymore
This is by far the worst when you consider we’ve agreed a fee without the player agreeing to join. Great way to start off the Murtough and ten Hag era.
My point is he could be exaggerating with any one of the things he's said. The person at the "very very very top" of Manchester United might not be nearly as high up as he's making out, and their statement of him going to Chelsea might not have been anywhere near as clear cut as he's making it out. Redknapp has nothing to lose if either of these things turns out to be true.
I should be clear, I'm growing quite uncertain about this deal but Redknapp's statements have nothing to do with that.
I love how small "logic" and "common sense" are in the rear-view mirror of this thread!
So there could be some positives. Clear out all the woodward lackies.
Still absolutely zero news. What a shame
Doesn’t bode well. Lock the Caf. We’re done here.It's the best thread on the caf
Frenkie killed the Caf. Thanks a lot, bastard!
Not right now, but it would be priority number 1 next summer when Jorginho and Kante leave. Chelsea have probably seen the opportunity to resolve that forthcoming problem now.
If reports are to be believed, Chelsea are willing to spend £300m. So don’t think they have finished yet even if they got FDJ. They just aren’t signing them in order of priority.
Have a feeling Murtough fecked this up
If anyone in the club knew for a fact he was going to Chelsea, so sure they'd tell Redknapp, then United would have publicly pulled out by now. They are worried about public perception in this situation, they are not going to stick around any longer than necessary.
Sack him!
If the club actually had the balls to act then it would, but even after a calamitous and humiliating 3 months of failed transfers and time wasted he'll still keep his job.
After all, Woodward hung on for a decade despite averaging a major feck up every year.
Mitten, Nev and now Harry saying he prefers Chelsea
Excuses starting
They get a reset on FFP since the takeover? No idea what their finances look like as a result of that.
No it's not, but i'm guessing this interview would be for a Talksport show, would it not? So whoever told him, must know that he would likely leak it out. For that to happen a day after we briefed that we were confident and that we're sure he wants to come to the club seems really really stupid to me.
He might have said it as a matter of fact, but as has been pointed out, he's nothing to gain, or nothing to lose. Doesn't bode well for United if someone at the very very very top has told him opposite to what they're telling the fans via the press.
London life for the wife and CL win.
You have a feeling Murtough fecked it up when the tweet you posted says literally the opposite?
Yeah we've started coming out with the excuses. The end is near
I voted "its embarrassing to Our club" in the poll and I won't be changing my mind even if He does sign for us. Why are We letting Barca and De Jong take us for mugs? Tell De Jong to do one and tell Barca we won't be doing business with them again. end of!
Have we heard from Souness yet?
Yeah it’s worrying they are all reading from the same script. Between the 3 of them they have contacts in Barca and Utd.
I strongly suspect what could've happened is that somebody fairly well-placed at United (possibly Fergie) might have mentioned that De Jong "might prefer to go to Chelsea because of London/UCL/[insert other reason here]" and 'Arry, either through genuinely misremembering what was said or to exaggerate for effect, has relayed this as "somebody high up has told me he's going to Chelsea".
I could be wrong but again, 'Arry has nothing to lose either way. He's not a journalist whose reputation lives or dies by the accuracy of his reporting, he's an ex-manager turned pundit who will continue to get gigs on the sports shows wherever De Jong ends up this summer.
Where's The Butcher Martinez when you need him?!
