Thought Ratcliffe was a title winning defender at Everton?!?

Feck me. I can't keep up. Who does Jim play for?
No this is surely over now.
No matter who else we're linked to, Frenkie is the one player I'd most love us to sign.
So obviously, I'm still in.
We're just showing him that we are going to provide him with some decent teammates

Apostasy in the Caf.
He will be signed right after we lose 11-0 to Liverpool. We will give FDJ his money and send Giggs to have a word with Mikky.
The Saviors.
No!!!!!
Repeat after me....."we wouldn't be THAT stupid to chase a player for three months, make him our #1 target, and not realise he doesn't want sign for us"
Say it 10 times before you go to bed and when you wake up it will be Frenkie day..............again.
See, what happened was that were given ample evidence of the club actually being that incompetent.
Still. Sky Sports understands Man Utd have not stopped their pursuit for Fenkie de Jong.
He's still coming along with Antony plus 3 other cheaper squad fillers
Twas all but smoke and mirrors. We were never after him after all.
You know, aside from having a bid accepted, which is still standing as an accepted bid.
It will be fdj, Casemiro and Gakpo
Would not be surprised if Antony is in their aswell.
Murtough master stroke in coming getting FDJ at a knockdown price, probably.
They mean they don't think we'll regularly win titles so therefore we're "finished".
Alright Lenny
Nah it's the guy who played Harry Potter.
I’m old enough to remember when you went half a day without checking this thread, you’d have to skim through 15 pages to get up to date. Down to about half a page now.
Please take me back Frenkie thread.
The Ratcliffe thread fling?
We were on a break!

Yeah has been very quiet this week
The Jim Ratcliffe thread is the new FDJ thread!
Barca will pull another lever and end up buying United.
If we somehow pull off Casemiro, I think we'll take another stab at Frenkie and use Casemiro as a signal of our ambition.
Maybe, my worry is who can we get that offers similar quality on the ball to De Jong. If we had City/Chelsea like investment then it would be possible so need to find a cheaper alternative.
De jong casemiro double pivot incoming?
The flame is flickering out on this one now…..all gone very quiet so seems that we’ve just been strung along for 15 weeks.
De jong casemiro double pivot incoming?
Then the alarm clock went off
Time to go back to sleep then.
Could still be quiet before storm
No, he is not and never wanted to. I hope we never do business with Barcelona ever in my lifetime again. That Dest deal can do something wit her itself as well.
I could only think of Veratti
Whose job is it to pull him off, how regularly, and does it have any bearing on whether he comes or not?
Well one usually follows the other
Reported
I don't think that's an accurate read on this. I think it's all financial. He wanted more than they had.
This guy knows ETH well. I don't see the team chasing him like this if it was a hard no. He's just toeing the party line and waiting for the financial side to align. If it doesn't then he can act like it was all United, they were so desperate to have me blah blah.
And I think this is tied in to the minority shares being sold, as well as the pressure by Ronaldo to leave which probably was what caused it all. We should thank Ronaldo tbh. But anyway if this is about money maybe they're scraping it off their Mastercards and will cobble enough together and get it done.
What they're doing here is good if they can cross that finish line.
We'll be back in when we try and fail at buying every other midfielder we can think of. He's as good as ours
I think we are using Casemiro links to pressurise Barca to cough up his wages. The reason I think so is because you have media outlets reporting we’re willing to pay 80M euros. That’s crazy!
