Who knows really? no idea why he'd say he's been told by somebody high up at United that.
As you say though hopefully Chelsea aren't that interested would rather spend elsewhere.

This is the kind of hopium and dopamine I needed. You are the hero we don’t deserve. We keep fighting and praying!
Mods give this precious newbie a few more likes! Put him in the notebook, mark his card, remember his name!
Looks like this one snapped.
That last line is interesting to be fair
I think Fred is a good player, Bruno is a good player and ten hag will be able to fit Eriksen/Donny in there for other situations who both have their qualities too. Eriksen especially is an excellent player. Mctominay a good squad player. Garner has potential but also a premier league level player anyway.
Our wings have Rashford and Sancho and nobody else. There are 5 subs this year. You need 3 wingers to compete with each other over a season at least, especially with 5 subs. We currently are playing elanga, a championship level footballer, if anyone gets injured. That's desperately bad. 2nd is striker, seeing as Martial can't stay fit and Ronaldo is 37, doesn't suit Ten Hag, and wants out.
Yeah, our midfield needs more. But it's a "full group" and good enough to be a top 4 challenging midfield in the right system. Our starting wingers are title challenging quality, whereas our depth there is championship quality. And that's the problem.
I'll admit it my planty friend, if the club did something as stupid as that, it would be embarrassing haha. I don't think they would though, it would be too much of a hit to their image and we're supposed to be building it up, not destroying it againOh Mr NZT you cheeky rascal! How far you try to bait brownie like that!
Guys, come on, you said it is for the fun so at least grant me somethingBecause clearly if you've been a manager at a major rival, then a non related club that employed you leaks you information and tells you to report it to a podcast/interview that has very little followers. It's not like that podcast/interview would promote itself to try get listeners would it?
Exactly. Baffling accounting going on there.
Eh, maybe, not sure. When I saw it I didn't think anything of it other than a standard won't talk much about other players and was more just joking about how the reporter asked the question. Hope I'm wrong though. I've lost hope the last week or 2
Jesus Christ man, if you're pulling out too..
Ridiculous or embarrassing
Imagine united giving him false info, right out of someone else’s play book
Did no one at Barcelona check to see if they would be able to register the players before signing them?
Frenkie leaves barca fans in tears
Absolutely no chance of that. I'm here till the bitter end, either basking in muppetdom, or going down with the sinking ship.
I'm going nowhere lads

Barca's accountants
That's the spirit! Few of us muppets must stay strong till the end even if it's the worst possible end.
Wasn't he positive earlier or I'm imagining things.
Muppet season aint for everyone. He’s gone
This aint my first rodeo haha.
If this was over, we'd know by now. WIth the amount of crap going round in the last few days, United would have briefed accordingly. Not saying we're still confident but a little frustrated.
We'd be saving face if we'd been rejected. We'd spin it to make out it was US that left the table, not de Jong rejecting us.
It's not as if Harry Redknapp has a history of questionable spin.
Could this be the worst saga in our history? It's just been a total shit show. Even by Woodward standards.
The only thing with Harry's audio is he says De Jong really wants to go to Chelsea repeatedly, not that's he's going, so he's willing if Chelsea come in with a bid.
If not he might be willing to join United but then it feels like a challenge to win him over while he's here and could be a lot of chaos if he wants out after a season.
It might be in De Jong's interest to hold out for a season at Barca. Perhaps then Chelsea PSG Bayern can stump up the money in the next window if FFP is a problem. Wonder if a loan to Chelsea with an obligation to buy would be worthwhile in Barca's situation.

The whole point is they can't keep him, because they can't register players with him. Barcelona is his employer, they don't want him.
Nothing that an extra 20 or 30k a week wouldn't sort i'd imagine
It’s very good/beneficial for De Jong and his agent to try getting United to shit their pants now. Then they have Barca shitting it he’ll stay, and have United shitting it that he wants to go to a rival (just look how we reacted to Ronaldo > City).
One way or another, this lad is getting his fecking money. Barca are hardballing him, United seem reluctant to go that extra extra mile, and the seasons start now.
Laporta is shocked to see that the wage bill has gone up. Hmm, would that be down to all of the signings you have been making, you greedy, fat feck?
He won I'm a Celebrity. As reliable as they come.
The new fella is not after a good start, we’ll put it that way. Ten hag seems to be patient this time but I’m not sure how long that will last.
Once Barcelona sort their crypto wallet out this transfer is done
Isn't it already? The most discouraging thing is that after such a ride, there are no winners anyways... Nobody comes out such a saga looking good. Personally I wouldn't overestimate the chelsea links now. I am sure, somebody in the club will make a phonecall to the new owner reminding him that while spending is cool and all, midfield isn't of such an importance.
Title update is very funny
He must have used Essiens calculator before. You love to see these fools fail on a daily level
Bartomeu didn't tell Laporta the passphrases
This made my giggle
Where's that Barca fan who said they made a mess and now they need to tidy it up. By buying some more players apparently.
Do remember lads, Harry works for betting companies, easy dosh for your employer to go public with a shit, ITK quote that will get people to lump on Chelsea.
He was sent to live on a farm, over the rainbow bridge, after @jojojo took him around the back and blew his face off with a shotgun.Where's that Barca fan who said they made a mess and now they need to tidy it up. By buying some more players apparently.
Yeah, his dog is also his accountant. The guy knows nothing.
