Frenkie de Jong | The last muppeting lap

[Adam-Utd]

If we sign Antony and FDJ i'd be absolutely shocked tbh.

Casemiro/Martinez/Malacia/De Jong/Antony/Gakpo is the sort of output we needed, but I never expected would happen.

 

[Offside]

This whole thread has ran on aggregate accounts twisting snippets from nothing stories so why change now?

Also Eriksen. Throw in a keeper and that'd be a damn near perfect window with much needed reinforcements all over the pitch. RB is still a doubt though.

Barcelona order transfer meeting in last-ditch attempt to sell Frenkie de Jong to Man Utd
Barcelona are now desperate to sell Frenkie de Jong and five other first-team squad players as they scramble to raise funds before the end of the transfer window

De Jong has been the subject of a fresh approach from United at the end of a lengthy summer transfer saga. However, United's signing of Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro, which was confirmed on Friday evening, has ended their urgency to invest in the position.
However, Mirror Football exclusively reported that United's pursuit of De Jong is not over as the club will continue to back new boss Erik ten Hag in the transfer market in order to challenge on all fronts this season, with Antony and Cody Gakpo, of Ajax and PSV Eindhoven respectively, also on their shortlist.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Arnold and Murtough are absolute fanny merchants. They’re back and forth to Barcelona on expenses, everything marked “Entertainment lol”, doing more drilling than Black and Decker, not a signing in sight.

Great to see a couple of top shaggers at the head of the club again.

couldn't have said it better myself. Heads being polished more that ETH's chrome top. Lucky feckers.

 

[Champ]

Dutch source has confirmed that we're trying again. Barca aggregator/SPORT twisted that to say that ETH had been given a sack full of money and had snapchatted De Jong with a caption saying 'we go for it'

So still nothing then?

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Casemiro AND de Jong

We couldn't be that lucky, could we?

 

[UnitedSofa]

If Frenkie signs all we need is a RB & a goalkeeper!

Antony
Gakpo
FDJ
Casemiro
Eriksen
Martinez
Malacia

best window ever?

You had me up to MirrorSport online

 

[sewey89]

If you call practically a done deal 'nothing', then yeah.

 

[AlexUTD]

You had me up to MirrorSport online

Same

 

[sewey89]

Feels good to be back in here regularly

 

[Drainy]

If Frenkie signs all we need is a RB & a goalkeeper!

Antony
Gakpo
FDJ
Casemiro
Eriksen
Martinez
Malacia

best window ever?

On paper. A lot of potential and experience too.

I'd be surprised if we bring in FdJ and Gakpo as well as Casemiro and Antony

 

[Volumiza]

I'm still confident this is still so very on. It couldn't be 'onner'. Barca and FDJ's relationship is surely broken.

 

[SATA]

I’m not fussed about Gakpo and Antony if we manage to get the Frenkie deal over and done. A Casemiro and Frenkie midfield absolutely transforms the team and we really need this to happen

 

[Alemar]

If Frenkie signs all we need is a RB & a goalkeeper!

Antony
Gakpo
FDJ
Casemiro
Eriksen
Martinez
Malacia

best window ever?

We should rather sign RB than Gakpo

If this is what we’ve been anticipating all along and this is how we played the window then I’ll be very impressed

 

[Sir Erik ten Hag]

I'm still confident this is still so very on. It couldn't be 'onner'. Barca and FDJ's relationship is surely broken.

Things like this are why transfer seasons are even more entertaining than our actual football seasons.

 

[Cassidy]

We should sign both

 

[SAF is the GOAT]

If Frenkie signs all we need is a RB & a goalkeeper!

Antony
Gakpo
FDJ
Casemiro
Eriksen
Martinez
Malacia

best window ever?

It will be Antony or Gakpo not both, we still going to need a winger

With how our defense is looking with Slabbhead I won't be surprised if we'll go on a new CB

We're going to need a new ST instead of CR7

RB is very crucial to Erik's game

competent GK that can pass and take control in his box will be needed especially when's DDG contract ends in 2023

 

[Alemar]

We should sign both

Ideally yes, but RB is a higher priority (if Antony signs)

 

[Volumiza]

Things like this are why transfer seasons are even more entertaining than our actual football seasons.

Onner's a word right? If not, it should be.

Gotta get your kicks somewhere!

Seriously, I do actually still think we'll end up with him at some point. Whether now or January.

 

[Cassidy]

Ideally yes, but RB is a higher priority (if Antony signs)

No because Gakpo doubles up as LW and ST cover which Antony does not. And we’ll sign a RB if we shift AWB anyway.

Antony and Gakpo are totally different players

 

[Remember the geese]

It will be Antony or Gakpo not both

Recent reports have indicated that we want both.

 

[Alemar]

No because Gakpo doubles up as LW and ST cover which Antony does not.

Gakpo provides cover, but RB would be an immediate improvement to our starting XI

 

[Rampant Red Rodriguez]

Surely FDJ actually **hates Barca now. I sure would if I was him.

Pretty sure they will still want him to leave so they can bank the fee (or spend it). I still think we can get him.

*'* Anyone paying me £350k a week is certainly not my enemy but my best mate in the world!

 

[Cassidy]

Gakpo provides cover, but RB would be an immediate improvement to our starting XI

So would Gakpo as LW

 

[hellhunter]

So would Gakpo as LW

Pretty questionable

 

[Laurencio]

Tuchel again saying he doesn’t need a midfielder.

Barca really didn’t play this well.

Surprisingly, if we end up landing him, we will have played it wonderfully. Which is a change to be sure.

If Frenkie signs all we need is a RB & a goalkeeper!

Antony
Gakpo
FDJ
Casemiro
Eriksen
Martinez
Malacia

best window ever?

If we pull it off, absolutely.

 

[Alemar]

So would Gakpo as LW

No, Sancho will play as LW if Antony comes, most likely. So Gakpo would be a squad/rotation player

 

[Cassidy]

Pretty questionable

Not really. Rashford has been in terrible form for months.

Damn you sglowrider! Just when I thought I was out, you draaaag me back in

 

[hellhunter]

Exactly @Cassidy

 

[Speako]

This is it, the last leg, the home stretch, the final painful sprint. It’s now a war of muppet attrition. The next ten days will be like the opening twenty minutes of Saving Private Ryan.
Onto the beaches! Bring the boy home!

 

[sglowrider]

If this is what we’ve been anticipating all along and this is how we played the window then I’ll be very impressed

I think they call it 'quiet confidence.'

These signings simply will not happen without the universal power generated by the muppetry that this thread generates into the transfer cosmos. You all have a duty to adhere to.

 

[Red the Bear]

Anyway he looked miserable last night, hopefully with some introspection he acknowledges its not gonna work there and move on.

 

[Cassidy]

Exactly @Cassidy

No, Sancho will play as LW if Antony comes, most likely. So Gakpo would be a squad/rotation player

Sancho… right… in great form he is

 

[Marcus]

If Frenkie signs all we need is a RB & a goalkeeper!

Antony
Gakpo
FDJ
Casemiro
Eriksen
Martinez
Malacia

best window ever?

If we do this, it will also means the Glazers want to sell. Best window ever indeed.
