17M is a lot of money, but would you play part-time CB and risk your career for the sake of deferred wages, especially when you have huge potential to get bigger contracts in the future? Sticking to 17M may not be the best financial decision in the longer term.

Of course, it's the best financial decision. He only takes a hit to his legacy. He's 25, not 19. He probably has two more big contracts in his playing career. Why on earth would he bank on making up the difference further on down the line? How much more money will he make by leaving?
 
With Aubemayang rumoured to be sold for 17-20m, what's the chances that they use the 17m to pay Frenkie's deferred wages for a last gasp attempt to shift him to us before the window's end.
 
Edwood woodwoodwood would have this wrapped up in 20 minutes.

We tried to sign De Bong. But the fax went wrong.

Despite my plight, and forth sight, I packed the missus up, and left old trafford covered in shite.

“that’s right, it’s us, the lethal weapons!” exclaimed murtough and rich in a disjointed unison which only hinted at their incompetence.

“i’m just three days from retirement,” said murtough as the elastic on his tracksuit bottoms finally gaveway, exposing his marvel superhero y-fronts. rich shuffled through a stack of creased papers, “now, franky baby, i’m sure you’re wondering exactly what these two definitely the right men for the job are doing here, along with this very professional looking dossier? well it’s no coincidence. we are manchester united and these are a printout of scouting reports that murtough got on his fm 16 save and before you sign for your new club, we want to convince you to come to manchester united instead.”

“but i’m already here to…” rich placed a finger on frenkie’s lips in a shushing motion. the only sound now was murtough fighting to get his trousers to stay up.

“hear us out. we think you will be a perfect fit in our midfield with casio and sony ericsson.”

“another shrewd sponsorship-cum-player deal from the absolute maestros” murtough interjected; missing a fist bump with rich.

“i know, that’s why i’m…”

“shush now, let me speak.” the only sound to be heard now was mikky rifling through the duty free trolley and buying all the perfume so she didn’t have to smell the porcelain faced wenches that would greet them as they made their way through border control.

“how much are they paying you? we’ll double it!” murtough shouted before returning his attention to the mustard stain on his t-shirt.

“but it is you who are..”

“christ, man! we’re busy people, we don’t have time for this. rich is up to level 5 on candy crush and i’m about to get sacked from the aldermaston job if i lose the crunch match against slough town this weekend on fm. i’ve lived every manager’s dream, starting out at the top with manchester united, and ending up in non-league football.”

“it’s what we all dreamed of as kids,” said rich as he wiped a tear from his cheek.

“it’s 350,000 a week, but in accordance with british press tradition, it will go up 50,000 with every bad performance.”

“like i said, we’ll double it, so that makes………..carry the three………. how does……………. 575,000 sound?” said murtough as he counted his fingers and toes.

“just take the money and we go!” shouted mikky, as the rain somehow pelted her whilst inside the plane.

“huzzah; another victory!” exclaimed murtough. “we need to run or we’ll miss our connecting flight to frankfurt. murtough has found and up and coming goalkeeper on his fm save, keith traps, and we need to snatch him up.”

I worry about the way you both spend time on this. Its fecking great. But it is worrying. Kudos to the both of you. My missus would definitely have questions if I type a whole block of text to a group of men though.

Why would your missus be watching you on the caf and taking a word count?

I agree Casemiro will solve more problems than FDJ although both would be great. If FDJ was our only CM signing, we would have the same issues of getting over run in midfield without a player to protect the defence.

My guess is that if FDJ is coming, then we play more with Maguire, maybe even Shaw, Eriksen, Sancho, Martial, etc... if Casemiro is played, it's a more traditional setup with Eriksen Bruno in front of him, and maybe Varane, Malacia, Rashford, even Elanga to play more with speed and the job from the defense and the DM is just to be very simple, disrupt the opposition and keep the shape.

What would your missus ask you about your interactions with a group of men? Did you do something in the past that could have raised doubts in her mind?

Yeah either way we were gonna lose out on something, whether it was Casemiro's warrior spirit and ball winning or De Jong's ability to dribble through and find those killer passes.

Dead in the water. There is a reason we paid the 70m for Casemiro. Hope we buy another midfielder though.

Certain we won't because Erik only wanted De Jong, also unlike Sancho & Bruno be very surprised if we get a second chance at him next summer. Definitely wouldn't happen in January window very confident of that.

He will either make it and be a starter for the season and not leave anyway.

Otherwise if not, i expect some clubs to be in for him. If we reach the CL next season, we could have a chance if he wants to leave, depending on the calibre of other clubs interested.
