TBF, not being a party pooper. Just being honest about the recent updates.

As for Ruiz and saying you're happier... FFS you probably never heard of the lad before half an hour ago and spent all summer drooling over FDJ.

ETH is coming out of this a mug.

I want nothing other than ETH to be a success but he's looking a mug now if FDJ goes to Chelsea. Former player turns his back on him after a whole summer of talk.

Bitter pill as it might be, it absolutely tells us he's zero power in attracting top players.

You can hate me and that's fine, but I'll put my neck on the line and I reckon in time I'll be right, sadly.
When did I say I'd be happier?
 

Yeah keep buying players who aren't defenders and over the course of the season they will get found out. Cucurella and KK are not enough to cover for Rudiger and Christensen. The later two were settled central defenders. They need Fofana more than FDJ.
 
Any tweet worth reading will be in that thread, though. Unless you're really dying for updates from TransferDan

Yesh, i know, but i still want to read them all, so i usually scroll through each page looking for anything.
 
If you say so.

It's done I reckon, either he stays or Chelsea bag him.

Either way yet again we and ETH look a bunch of clowns.

Explains his remark yesterday about "we want FDJ".

He's saying it in jest but he's distancing himself from the transfer also without trying to look a plonker!
You obviously didn’t understand ETH’s humour in that remark. He said it in a manner “We want Frenkie? Really?” as in joking with the press that he’s pretending to be surprised we are being linked with him considering that’s been all the talk all summer.
 
It really does feel like we've signed De Jong to Chelsea. Like we've just told them he's available only for them because they've CL. I would love this signing but it's just hard to imagine it.
 
The correct bucket? I'm so out of it
The live tweet function takes its tweets out of the 4 buckets/threads that are stickies;
The United tweet thread
England & Scotland tweet thread
Rest of Europe tweet thread
Rest of the world tweet thread

if people don’t feed the tweets to those then they won’t appear in the live feed
 

Warra disgrace.

From everyone.

From Barca for acting like massive pricks this entire saga.

From De Jong for leading his old coach along and then dumping him at the final hurdle. No shame.

From Ten Hag for being so stubborn with a player who didn't even want to join us, who strung him along all this time.

From Arnold and Murtough for not sealing the deal and for being so submissive to Ten Hag's targets despite the deal looking so, so messy.

Warra disgrace.
 
He's a must.

Not only because he's an incredible player, but his transfer means City lose B.Silva, and, if it doesn't happen, we likely add another average midfielder in Ruiz.
 
It will never be a Yes. United Yes and Yes.
But all we've heard for the past 3 days is how badly he wants Chelsea... so why are they waiting? If he wants to go that badly there's the yea they need.

Plus Romano said the same thing days ago, ready to go, just waiting on the yes.

So now they're going all in on Fofana and de Jong AND want a striker or two... yep makes sense
 
Once FdJ joins us, we should blacklist Rahman, Romano, Romero, Sport and all the Barca aggregator accounts. Spout nothing but bollocks without a shred of evidence.
 
Are they? Can you post your source for that?

And why does it matter to you if me and Berba want to post here? Does it offend you? If so, then just don't come in and mute the thread maybe?
Clearly it does considering the way he's been posting in here all summer.

It will be Chelsea in the media till the day it’s us. It’s how the media works. Negative United news is the best news.
 
I mean, Tuchel says "Maybe not midfielders as a first option but we are open for everything."

I'm not sure how that rules it out, especially with that big grin plastered on his face.

This was how I took it originally. However with the latest updates tonight I reckon he knew it was starting to fall apart.

Romano now saying we are "desperate" to convince FDJ.

Another summer, another embarrassing transfer saga.

Come next week it'll be United again and Chelsea will have cooled their interest due to something or other, then someone else will come in.

It's very repetitive at the moment

What was the embarrassing transfer saga last summer?

Will go down close to deadline day or even deadline day. Very tiresome at this point.

Makes no sense for him to stick around if it's falling apart. No shame in admitting we can't sort a deal out so we're moving on, more damage in just staying when they fully know he doesn't want to come.

I do wonder if these guys know as much as they're letting on though. They do clearly have sources but it's always the same stories worded slightly differently. The fact that de Jong has been totally radio silence for weeks and weeks now means they have nothing really to go on.
