Never had any confidence in Fabrizio on this saga, beyond my muppet bias he is not an investigative journalist. He does not interpret or critically analyse the briefs he receives. In a saga such as this which is all smoke and mirrors, his black and white style is not useful or interesting.

If he still won’t budge after seeing United take Liverpool apart under the lights in front of 75,000 at a raucous Old Trafford then it’s his loss.
That’s not even considering we’ve got the best in the business to mop up after him in Casemiro.

The amount of people still spelling it with just one 'r' has made me feel a little less of a dummy though.
So why didn't he just tell Erik that 3 months ago
Mark Goldbridge account found.
That’s so weird if it actually isn’t Goldbridge himself.
I think he's just stringing Erik along for options. You don't want to shut any doors unnecessarily in case life gives you lemons, but his personal preference is clear to me
We are (or were) clearly desperate enough to allow ourselves to be strung along, so it works for him and it works for us.
Haha Goldbridge probably had about 10 accounts on here, at least we found one of them
Word for feckin word
He is a fecking wankstain
Harsh on @Dennis Viollet
@Dennis Viollet, mate, where are you?
That is really weird
Because he's actually open to coming here and always was regardless of his love of Barca (which I reckon will be as dead and shrivelled as a crap marriage). I know people will laugh but i still believe that and have more than a shred of hope this is happening.
I wasn’t serious!Not really. Copying crap tweets verbatim Jesus Christ
Is he doing his shift at talkshite?
Hold the line!
I was talking about the Antony (may or may not happen still) and Casemiro deals. I have high hopes for Casemiro, but the club were not even in for a DM and bought one only because of our disastrous start to the season. We are almost into September and still lack a ball carrying midfielder and a forward addition. These are all essential holes to fill in the team.
Look at how the big clubs do their business. Look at City who got in Haaland and Phillips first week of July. They got a proper pre-season in with Guardiola.
It is a negligent, nevermind exceptional, conducting of operations by A/M.
ETH has been talking about the importance of making additions - and making comparisons to how rivals have done their business quickly - from as far back as pre-season in Australia.

Love that song from Toto.
Love isn't always on time, even if Erik is still trying to call think FDJ has him on ignore now
How about a €17m loan fee with an obligation to buy for the arranged money next season? They get the wages off the books, they can pay him the money using the loan fee and then also get their money next season. We get him now and the only disadvantage is we are paying the €17m they owe him but let’s face it, there’s no other way this gets resolved. It’ll also mean we kick the transfer down the street until next season and can afford Antony and Gakpo this year.
That is assuming he would even join us!

@Dennis Viollet is not Goldbridge, no way. For all his faults, Goldbridge is a wordsmith. It's his job to spout the same shit in different ways.
Dennis is a just a sad sod. Which is worse than being Goldbridge.
Let the man speak @Dennis Viollet
In theory they can force him out if the manager tells him he is not in his plans and he wont start him. In that situation FDJ has 2 choices - sit on the bench and get his wages - or be sold. But its a really shitty thing to do from a club.
Give that boy Dennis a break, being compared with goldbridge is harsh enough.
Mark Goldbridge account found.
He's done it twice at least so it's a good chance:
So out of FDJ and Casemiro - which would have been the better fit for United ? I actually think Casemiro is more right for us than FDJ - but I think FDJ would be a lot better for us if we also had Casemiro, rather than FDJ with Eriksen/Bruno/MCT/Fred
So is that deal dead now? I really don't understand why we were trying and not making it happen. Like at some point, we need players to control the midfield. It's just needed.
What's the situation with kounde?
Still haven't registered him have they?
Getting rid of depay won't be enough as they'd still have to sell auba, let's hope Chelsea or juve fo us a favor and don't go for them.
Even if they wanted to keep de jong surely the ignominy of letting one of their announced new purchases to go for free should force their hand.
Also Chelsea isn't for him and I doubt bayern is in for him either and that leaves us.

Barca been starting DeJong so I think the deal is long dead.
Outside us there aren't many clubs value our youths that much. 5 million tops.
Yes but your team is going to help them register the defender they stole from you by buying Aubameyang from them so no worries.
That's clearly nonsense when Forest pay up to 40m for a MGW
Worse than being a made up guy who pretends to support a team just to spew faux outrage and vitriol about said club and rile up the real fan base in the interest of monetising clicks?!
Damn, I pity the fool!
