Just watched the Barca match. He’s so freaking good.. he is majestic on the ball. World class
Frenkie de Jong | The last muppeting lap

The irony of the FDJ saga is that we conceded todays first goal because of the very guy he’s going to replace trying to do the very thing FDJ does best. McTominay trying to drive forward with the ball at his feet before completely losing control of it and it leading to a counter attack goal.
This transfer saga should be renamed "The Red Herring"
Wtf, how have I got to 500 posts in this thread! This is as a part time muppet as well. Brings back memories of 2019 when I was chief muppet bellend in the Sancho thread.
Just send the big guy around to all of our targets to get them done.
If Jaap is standing over you, I wouldn't be surprised if we get the transfer targets AND keep the money.
Oh you are awful...but I like you.
Yeah keep it in your pants Chief. No one likes a show off.
You should also see the movement around him. Our players will be jogging in this scenario.
You’re the one who asked me to take it out.
Seems to be the case that our targets are coming directly from ETH which imo is a bad sign, seem very limited because of course they are he isn't a scout.
So what are we employing a director of football for if he ultimately isn't actually director of football?.
2 things;
1. This isn't happening.
2. If it does, its still not enough.

He's the biggest improvement we can make, though. I believe he will be a game changer if he joins.
Our biggest problem this summer has been an inability to get players through the door and convince them of joining us, as well as selling players.
Lautaro Martinez was reportedly a target, Sesko is up in the air, we were too late for Antony, Timber rejected us, no one knows what the feck is going on with de Jong, Ronaldo hasn't managed to get any clubs to come for him, we can't seem to sell AWB, or anyone really.
We should have had
Lautaro
Sancho - Bruno - Antony
de Jong - Fred
Malacia - Martinez - Maguire - Timber
De Gea
Sancho - Bruno - Antony
de Jong - Fred
Malacia - Martinez - Maguire - Timber
De Gea
That was "the plan". It was a good plan, not great, but good. What seem to have happened is that we failed at executing the plan and seemingly couldn't get secondary targets for whatever reason - not being able to offload anyone hasn't been good - the fact that we are barking up Arnautovic's tree all but confirms that we are way down on our list of priority targets.
Yes, but that would mean they only spoke once through this whole saga - which frankly seems far-fetched.
Yeah, but he's not gonna.
When was the last time we had a saga like this and the player actually ended up here?
Berbatov maybe? (Nowhere near the level of this saga).
This is a rerun of the Fabregas saga.
Will take him in a heartbeat if it marks the end of McTom at the club.
Alexis when it looked like he was joining City?
It's also possible ten Hag's relationship with him is overstated - as that is realistically the only thing United have to seduce him at this moment in time (maybe 450k pw in wages also but as said before, I don't think this is a player obsessed with money). I think EtH backed himself to persuade Frenkie (with Barca pressure coming from the other side, we want him gone so you can open talks with him etc) but it seems Frenkie just has no intention of leaving. Even now, it has been reported his agent is looking to move him and he has conflict with his agent about it.
Chicken or egg? Maybe the players don't have faith in the ball carriers at present
Someone referred to Eriksen as a bloke that died last year, guys what is actually going on?
What sort of meltdown is this?

He’s literally refusing to take a pay cut under immense pressure. He had his pants pulled down, his head flushed and his shoes shat in and he’s still standing firm.
For a very short while he was clinically dead wasn't he?
It was an idiotic post. This is redcafe.
Stuff of nightmares.

According to people on here though, that is owed money for the service he did during the pandemic so it's hardly a player who only thinks of the money, he's well within his rights.
Please get him.
He turned a difficult pass into that filth. We can give him difficult passes all day long.

This is like what clubs do when selling an average player, they mention a big club is interested to convince a smaller club to complete the deal.
Here we are, using De Jong's name to try and convince the world that Manchester United are capable of signing players of his quality. The truth is we can't, but maybe we'll trick other players into coming to us by pretending we're not a Europa League club.

I think that stance is more his agent trying to right the feck up of a deferral he had Frenkie sign in the first place. Insane that it seemingly didn’t have a ‘what happens if I leave or you try to sell me’ clause in it.He’s literally refusing to take a pay cut under immense pressure. He had his pants pulled down, his head flushed and his shoes shat in and he’s still standing firm.
Not really the point mate..
Blind homerism much?
“People on here”? Are you disputing this as established fact?
So he’s not refusing to take a pay cut?
Yet still an upgrade mcfred
We witnessed the player first hand today. He was incredible, I had the same feeling watching him as I did Kante at Leicester. A must sign now for me.
fuk me we really need this guy in our squad and starting XI
