ETH is a muppet
Going after Arnautovic cause you worked with him isn’t exactly bright or the right thing to do.

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.

The Glazers are going to be put in a position where Chelsea will offer and they will have to top it. Add that to whatever point FDJ asks for. If they do not they have failed Ten Hag from the off. Our summer will truly be awful.
Fanta Stick!
That’s your opinion, I think Arnautovic would have been an excellent option to fill in a gaping hole in the squad. If you know ETH you’d know he’ll take no notice of what anybody thinks. Just ask any Ajax fan, and in all cases he proved their fans wrong (which is another reason why Ajax fans hold him in such high regards). Think Haller for example.
Does anyone see Mikky moving to Manchester? Maybe London, but Manchester is definitely not glamorous enough for her, and she needs a lot of natural sunlight for her insta pics.
Well no shit it’s my opinion. That’s what a forum is for. To give YOUR opinion. If he wanted to sign washed up players there are plenty available who aren’t cnuts or racists.
The ironic thing is that Manchester is very much more Insta culture than Barcelona.
Wow.. i just looked on the utd reddit page for first time.......... Some odd people in this world
Everybody is entitled to their opinion on here, no problem with your opinion at all. I’d just wish you’d have more faith in ETH, he’s a very special manager and we’re very lucky to have him. You just wait and see.
No footballer is good enough to have on your team that you just ignore he's a racist and such, come on
And he will and does have my support….as long as he doesn’t sign anyone who is a known racist. Some things are bigger than Man United and football.
I don’t think Arnautovic is racist. His background is from a war torn Balkan. Hell, they’ve been murdering each other their for centuries.
He is a well known documented one. If you’re from a war torn country somehow you can’t be a racist?
Arnautovic isn’t even coming, so there isn’t actually any point to keep harping on about him.
Credit to De Jong, he’s been standing firm as he should.
Plus Barca are now able to register everyone with only Kounde coming in next week and he’s injured anyway.
I do think he’ll stay at Barca and Xavi will play him but let’s see what happens
How does this problem get overcome
The racism thing goes back from his time at Twente, which never was proven and the black players at Twente never seemed to have a problem with him. The Macedonia thing wasn’t nice, but you have to put that in perspective with all the shit going on in that part of the World.
That’s the million dollar question.
When has he said he was likely to join United?
The songs and poems in this thread are more dreadful than the actual transfer.
Barca do the honourable thing and pay the wages that he’s deferred.
But this is Laporta we’re talking about so he’ll keep on pressuring FDJ to take a pay cut through his mouthpieces in the media or ask Boehly to pay the full17m on top of the transfer fee.
According to ESPN, 10 hrs ago, De Jongs agents made “Clear” he had no interest in leaving Barcelona. That was after talking to the United people. Then he made his agents go on instagram and post those cheesy shots of the strong arm on fire with Frenkie dedicated to the Barca cause.
From what I understand they would have been happy to talk to us as well, but we have taken a different approach than you. We let them know money would t be an issue and made sure that the terms were discussed, but we aren’t doing anything formal or announcing “agreed terms” with any one entity until Frenkie says “I am willing to leave Barcelona”.
One tweet on UtdPlug (the feed you guys have been linking) said De Jongs agent has been pushing for his departure and offering him to multiple clubs for many months. That tweet was back on 5/24/22.
I can’t imagine Frenkie was thrilled with any of those “agreed terms” stories. If there is a team closer to handling this the way Frenkie wants I think it would be Chelsea.
He doesn’t want to be the “greedy” player that spurned Barca for a team he had been plotting to join for months.
He wants to make sure everyone knows he IS a Barca guy, until the team tells him otherwise, and then maybe a CL contender will come along with no previous agreement and swoop in to give him a top team to play for.
That is a MUCH better story. This a PR battle as much a financial one now.
He is going to make Xavi and/or Laporte get on a public podium and say “Frenkie De Jong MUST leave Barcelona” or he simply is going to about his business.
I think the leaks of “teammates” saying he would prefer Chelsea to United were meant to draw us in and make De Jong look like a greedy mercenary waiting for highest bidder. But Boehly is a smart guy and he’s talked to Frenkie a number of times. I think he gets where he is coming from:
“Off limits until Frenkie (not anyone else) says otherwise”
Allowing yourselves to be pulled into the Barca angle of this storyline is t going to help you with Frenkie.
He’s been constantly writing that if Barcelona want him to leave and they sort out the money’s he’s owned, then he’s open to a reunion with ETH. Besides Frenkie & ETH.. as if they’re not on their WhatsApp friends list..
One will probably win post of the year.
Not enjoying your Chelsea bias, I have to say.
BRAVA sir!
That’s genius.
Part of me hopes you beat us to him, if he leaves. Your sheer level of dedication to the muppet arts is awe inspiring. You guys deserve this win.
I’m pretty sure this has never happened. Pure conjecture.
My main concern in the last few hundred pages is that if there's an alien civilization out there that somehow studies this thread, they might find our race strange.
Maybe future historians will reference football in the future and in a museum there'll be songs from this thread of what th 2000s was like

For those who aren’t musically inclined in the least, to what song should I be singing this?
Jolene by Dolly Parton
Thanks!
Regarding the Macedonia thing I don’t have to put it in perspective with “all the shit going on in that part of the world” cause that doesn’t entitle you to behave like a cnut. It’s easy to not be a cnut in life and be respectful of each other. At a fecking football match no less. It’s not like he was a fighting a war for his country.
TBF, anyone can do it. Sell off future assets for short term gain. I think the question is, should they do it? And most people in their right mind realise the answer is no.
Hmmm i think i have a problem... heavy night of drinking... time for bed... have to call in to the Frenkie thread first. Frenkie thread is life. Simples. haha
Barca don't do honourable that's for sure
A Chelsea fan that is also a fan of Dolly Parton? Either American or a hacker!
