Fofana for 80M?Leicester have done well here and the Maguire sale
maybe they’d like Maguire back as a replacement for Fofana

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Imagine if us signing Rabiot causes a chain reaction of Juve signing Jorginho and then Chelsea getting De Jong.
Shut your whore mouth mate, thanks.
Which bit of that is funny?Imagine if us signing Rabiot causes a chain reaction of Juve signing Jorginho and then Chelsea getting De Jong.
I really doubt this is the case because there were multiple reports of FDJ / Agent being very unhappy with Barca to the point that they were ready to file a complaint with FifPro.
I think the wages are the sticking point and he will leave Barca one way or the other. (either Barca or one of United / Chelsea cover most)

Can we just get Jorginho in this event chain?

Not too sure that would happen, I can't see Chelsea accepting a loan with no fee, Juve paying 15% of his wages with an option to buy for 10 Euros in 2028.
Nice story, bro. Except Chelsea was ready to pay wages and FDJ still doesn't want to move, even to London (supposedly living in Manchester was too uncool for his girl-friend, but can't see how London is not cool enough for missus).
Something is seriously wrong with that kid. And it is our fault for hanging the future of our club on some petulant child. Why didn't we have proper options B, C, and D? Who runs transfer window like this? Disgusting.
I actually feel sorry for de Jong. Literally been painted a villain has done nothing wrong - in fact he tried to help by deferring his wages.
Ooh, get her! Bet you’re fun at parties!
Everyone's a winner but us in this scenarioImagine if us signing Rabiot causes a chain reaction of Juve signing Jorginho and then Chelsea getting De Jong.
That is conjecture only. Nobody linked to Chelsea has said anything of the sort, in fact outside of one Chelsea source and some Barca muppets Chelsea have never indicated they are even interested and that source has been conspicuously silent for a few days now.
Don't really care about the general transfer rant but I'd suggest the explanation that needs the fewest assumptions is often the right one.
(a) People running United are insane for sticking with the transfer this long, FDJ is an idiot for staying there despite clear attempts to move him on in some hope that he'll play himself back into the team and neither party can see the light despite constant media attention pointing out the flaws in this setup.
(b) He's not getting paid
I really doubt Chelsea will just be okay handing him 17m on top of the 80m they need to give to Barca. Both United and Chelsea were ready to cover part of his deferred wages but not all of it.

Not a Chelsea player then. Would work better for us…
Yup works very well for us... let's see what happens over the next few days I think.
So who was this medium high wage player who was leaving today
Good old Romero... chat shit for clicks hahaTell you when we know
Not related, 2 CB were joining regardless. But i think the sane ones amongst us realise FDJ just isnt leaving.
Paredes is three times the player Rabiot is…United is run by the same jokers as in the past, only difference is they have other dogtags on them. Why not go for Paredes?
It's what our manager wants, we're doing what we always do and letting the manager call the shots, only stepping in occasionally if its an obvious bad fit, there's backlash or we get rejected. Our structure is still very puzzling.
Thing are happening/hot in august.
I very much doubt if any sane person would go for Rabiot over Paredes let alone a “highly rated” manager. If that is indeed the case with Our manager, then I will go cry now
He's not, he's terrible
surely it's gone too far for him not
to leave? there's loving barcelona and then there's being a doormat.
Paredes isn't even half of what Rabiot is. PSG's midfield has been shoddy since 2019 and Paredes has failed to gain a starting role mainly because he is shoddy.
Because he isn’t three times the player Rabiot is?
spouting absolute rubbish.
Man is so limited he looks like the argentinian mctominay.
Juan Roberto has gone from negative news tweet delete to positive news tweet delete:
"Frenkie De Jong is very very close to joining #MUFC"
Twitter 15 Minutes ago.

Is he even reliable though?
Juan Roberto is a lovely fella.
Depressing.
Do bears shit in the woods?
How is that still in question? That guy is an absolute legend
He isn't. Next joke please.
That’s all the fuel we need for the next week muppets! In all seriousness - all the Chelsea briefings were they wanted this done ASAP so I think the fact this hasn’t been done either way is good for us. We’ve briefed all along we’re prepared to wait until the end.
