Modteppum? Is that opposite or just backwards?Well if muppetdom is off the cards, might as well go complete opposite
Why? Sounds like we were willing to help Barca out in the end with his deferred wages and it still didn't happen.
FDJ didn't want the move. It's bleeding obvious at this point.
It's not, but thanks
Briefed.
Unless there’s an ace up the sleeve, this looks like it’s done.

Until 1st September, anything and everything can happen
I assumed it was an innocent spelling mistake, what with all the Ericsson’s and Macguires running round the caf.
It would be interesting to see what the barca side has to say, they're still looking to offload i think.
I'm going to hang on to the wording of "unlikely". There is a chance, however miniscule. Could be we are trying to bluff Barca.
I still believe we will get Frenkie. It is just mind games to make Barca sell him to us for a lower price. Casemiro is not enough. And we are not getting Militant, either. We need Frenkie.
feck, back in.
By all means, believe it will happen, but that's a shit source
If you seriously think we are signing Casemiro and FDJ in this window I think you should seriously start googling who our owners are.
The same owners throwing ludicrous bids at Antony?
Who knows what will happen... i know it's unlikely, but stranger things have happened
To be fair he was one of the 1st to break talks about Glazers looking to sell I believe
Did we play Barca ? With a little help from Madrid ?
We need a CM which is done , A RW , a striker and a RB we are not getting another £80 million to buy another midfielder.
No idea, think he had his moments in the past, but he's generally of mixed reliability at best
Come home FDJ it's where you need to be!!!
Barca don't love you like we love you.

Its totally and utterly shambolic. Its a total fecking disaster of a transfer window. We have solved (for maybe 1 year) a single of our glaring holes, and have got NOWHERE NEAR sorting out most glaring hole - which is we dont have functioning midfield. FDJ and Casemiro would have been an 8/10 window. FDJ alone would be a 7/10. Casemiro alone is a 2/10 because he can't fix what needs fixing, irrespective of how good he is.Shambolic?!
SadCafe strikes again
We need another CM unless Casemiro alone magically transforms this midfield.
I hope so, but a blanket release doesn’t usually bode well as it’s used to inform the fans and take advantage of the trickle down effect.
Total waste of time. The worst scenario is to pursue the same player in a future window, the club with a decent league finish should do everything to target the likes of Jude Bellingham.
It is widely accepted that we need 2 midfielders. Arguably we need the second midfielder more than we need a rw and rb.
I'm over FDJ. Would our midfield not be too defensive with both in anyway?
For now, I am team Antony!

Where does this leave us in our pursuit of muppetdom? (It may be telling that my iPad changed that to ’muppet doom’
A bad omen if ever I saw one
Yep, so if the Glazers are willing to have us spend 100m on Antony, I don't see how the fee would be an issue for De Jong. If he finally decided Barca can do one
They promised us FDJ. They best get him or John needs to be sacked.
Lovely game of poker going on.
I'm also camping in that thread but the Gakpo news are making me nervous
Yeah.. Stone and Whitwell having an identical sounding update sounds very much like a club brief...
It best bloody be.
He still has to decide whether he wants to take a pay cut more. If he wanted to do that surely he'd have done it already?
yeah I fear we're going in for Gapko instead. Don't think we will have the funds for a 100m Antony deal.
If you're 'over' FDJ you dont really understand who he is or how he plays. He's not "defensive". He's an everything midfielder.
If they do throw silly money at FdJ and get him, it will be because the Glazers are doing window dressing prior to selling the club.
