First Mecca de Cryruff shattered. And then Frenkie de Plastic... it will be too much.
Hopefully we'll get some news soon, but i'm not holding my breath
Come to United Frankie! It's worth the hassle. You will be a hero here. At Chelsea, you will just be another player.
Will this be the first mega transfer thread where the player ends up going somewhere else, rather than staying at their current club?
you buggers made me go through 60 pages this morning with Ben Jacobs tweets filling almost every page.
The fecker is not on a Chelsea Tier List, doesn't seem to feature on any lists and works for CBS Sport.....WTF were you lot smoking last night?

Thiago
Ah, yes. Barca wants an answer from De Jong today.. I'm sure he wants an answer as well. Are they going to pay his owed wages today? Feck all will happen today.
Them getting more chances doesn't mean they'll do the job needed because they're very raw
Ten Hag will have to sign 2 alternative CMs. If he sticks with what he has he'll last as long as Moyes did
2000 here we come
Ah, yes of course! My mind was on Vidal, Sancho (first summer) and Sneijeder.Thiago
Oh I am on board. Don't worry about that
True, he's just he's saying we've given up as well.
Thiago?
Edit: how big was the Fabregas thread? It was nine years ago and my memory is crap.

He’s been fairly good all summer especially on their takeover and seems like he has links to the American ownership.
A Chelsea shirt or a Barca one?
Yeah. Objectively there are good reasons to pick Chelsea, they have a solid team, they are one of the wealthy club and they have a good to very coach. To me the one thing that we don't have right now is a solid team which may be a deterrent but it's not rare for players to believe in their own impact and believe in a coach they know.
Yup. It’s all coming from Barcelona’s side. And Chelsea appear to be pressuring him saying they need an answer now too.
Ah yes... Pep the muppet slayerThiago
The stonewall silence of Stone/Ducker continues to stump me and give me hope.
FFP is calculated over a three year spend.
They've probably been given an exclusive when it unfolds.
Pedro
Frenkie, You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
Laporta, probably.
Yup, thats why i completely ignored what Jacobs said when he proclaimed that United had all but given up on de Jong. Same with everyone else who says it.
Those who are well connected to the club have been told nothing negative. They've maintained silence, which means whatever United know, they're keeping it close. I do find it funny how those who have no real connections to the club though, know whats going on fully and have all the inside information. Again, pure speculation
To be completely fair, this transfer muppet thread is legitimately different to many of the others. We are clearly in contention for his signature, and have had the bid accepted by Barcelona. It's not like we've just been linked to him for the entire Summer with no evidence or for no reason. There's a lot more than just 'interest' there. It's also a horrendously complex deal due to the messy situation at Barcelona, so it's not like we haven't done all we can as a football club to secure this signing. The bid has done in, we've had our people meeting their people, so the leg work has been put in.
The other way of looking at it is that it's a total farce from all sides. Barcelona have no money and are still spending, we have no real transfer strategy aside from "Get Frenkie" and Chelsea's approach looks very scattergun-like, too. Chelsea don't need this player, as they're already stocked up in this position, but...I don't think they really care. They want signings, and feck the consequences.
It'll be incredibly frustrating if, after all this time, he goes to Chelsea. But, we're in the position that we're in at United and if a player wants Champions League football so badly, we can't offer that right now. That's why we had to do better last season and that's why we must do better this season. We've got to finish in that position so that we're not in the same spot next season, or else we'll just be repeating these sagas.

Savage is drawing attention from League 2 sides about going out on loan with them- Iqbal has barely shone for the U23’s- I’m terrified at the thought
I have a feeling that FDJ playing for Chelsea will not be too popular at Old Trafford - well at least if our fans decide to show

Ben gets info straight from Boehly. He has surpassed Matt Law in getting Chelsea news first. His info is only as good as what Boehly’s staff knows.
Our fans consider Rabiot who has played regularly for PSG and Juve for 9 years not good enough - but are more than willing to give Savage and Iqbal a chance....go figure.
Guarantee Erik has rolled out the red carpet about him being the centre piece of his Utd rebuild and outlined how much he wants him, also how he can be the one to get us back into the Champions League.
The problem is I have serious doubts that he will actually believe it and be prepared to buy into the project he's building
Another week wasted, are people at the club aware we have to start McFred again this weekend if they don't do something today?
Don't really blame him. We're a circus and amongst the worst run clubs in Europe. Why would he want to hop from one circus to another, but this time without the added allure of champions league football, nor any real chance of winning trophies. And like it or not, London will always be a bigger pull than Manchester for his missus.
The only ones we should be directing our anger towards are the Glazers, Arnold and Murtough, not Frenkie.
He's pretty much a non-entity on transfers, isn't he?
Nhah, it has to tickle his ego a bit.
Someone should just text him this thread.....that alone would do it for me.
From getting booed at Nou camp to getting adored at OT....
Been through it a fair few times before, easy to stomach this one then..
