Tbh, I think deep down 95 % of this thread didnt expect this deal to happen.

Yeah that makes sense. Feel completely out of the loop after two days in the office instead of working from home
The transfer lions don't concern themselves with the opinions of realism sheep.
What i take from that update is that we will not sign Rabiot and rather sign De Jong, Caisedo and Casemiro. Great news imo.
@AdNani will be very happy
@AdNani will be very happy
So what's the word now? We're signing De Jong, Caicedo and Casemiro? I suppose that's a working midfield
Yeah that makes sense. Feel completely out of the loop after two days in the office instead of working from home
so true, im in the office at the moment and have properly fallen behind.Casemiro is a fantastic signing, Id rather have De Jong though
In what way?
"Improbable" seems fairly optimistic. It's been dead for weeks, surely.
We're clearly signing both
You honestly believe any of that is because of Frenkie personally?! It’s all his fault!!!! Grow up.
We may not end up with FdJ, or anyone else, but we'll always have had the thrill of the chase.
That's where the real magic is.
Went to visit William the Bastard’s resting place in Caen today, maybe they can bury United in a tomb next to him.
Perhaps the real transfers were the friends we made along the way.
All three you probably ment.
Luring everyone into a false sense of security and then BAM, best midfield in the world
Still won't score or prevent brainfarts, but still
Perhaps the real transfers were the brain cells we binge drank to death along the way.
Murtough must be feeling absolutely fecked. Not slept properly for 3 months.

2% - work from home
Generous
Standard stuff really
I'm back to work tomorrow... going to suffer for a while i think. Been out the loop for a while at work, late get ups and the sorts haha. 6am get ups are gonna finish me off
they have gotten some nice trips out of this at least. And if things go bad who cares, not like they are at risk of losing their job. Hell they have more chance of losing their jobs if they started doing something right.
They have time to redeem themselves... not much time left in all fairness, but still time haha
Is this over now?
Of course not. Tomorrow is a big day, bag, choo choo. it's probably over
We are throwing the FdJ money on Casemiro and Caicedo now. So yes
Not over until 1st September. We'll go back in again, if ten Hag wants him as much as he says he does
Another posted indicated that we're at "the end of days", so in that sense it is over. Or at least the end is near and we better start getting our paperwork in order before we meet the afterlife.
Is this our worst transfer saga ever?
Big hot things are happening.
....and he still has achieved absolutely nothing.
Considering we were meant to be starting a new era with a new manager and "football director" and dealings were meant to be executed more effectively, you bet it is.
Can’t think of one worse.
Not until the 2nd of September. Until then everything is possible.
Stay strong fellow muppets. This wobble too shall pass. Tomorrow is frenkie day
Not anymore. We seem to be briefing the press that we might not get him. Also if this is to happen then either the club will have to put in an improved bid or barca needs to sort their end of the deal by paying fdj his back wages. So even if we have to put in an improved bid then we need to withdraw the offer. This way at least barca will be forced to act either way.
In duration clearly and the fact it derailed the many other things you needed to do to refresh that squad. But it is DeJong and Barcelona so it was always going to be hard.
Getting scuffed at by the likes of Rabiot, Cunha and random 20y old from Austria should hurt more.
This thread is the transfer equivalent of "we go again."
