We will, but then that caveat will always exist (Yeah, we made 2000, BUT...)

That depends on the mods, I think.
Do not cheat.
Anyone got a Twitter account to post some positive news? Got a feeling the muppets will jump at good news from literally ANYONE now. 
it would be an awful shame if he doesn't come to united. i had a chant composed for him and everything, based on 'cod liver oil' by the dubliners.
i would post it, but i haven't received the requisite amount of likes yet.
hint hint.

we have a better chance of winning the league than this happening
If this were to finally happen on deadline day, it could make Jim white explode, on Sky, and it’s live!
I'd listen if dodgy Dan posted something positive right now!! Inject any positive news into my muppet veins!Anyone got a Twitter account to post some positive news? Got a feeling the muppets will jump at good news from literally ANYONE now.
The only reason this transfer hasn't happened is because he's having a standoff with Barcelona,it's why the media make up stories cus there's nothing, they're both having a good old fashion mexico face off.
Yeah so do I. Very good window and pretty unexpected.
Anything can happen. I do expect us to be quite busy on deadline day though. I just hope it's not silly panic buys trying to plug any holes with the wrong players
I think it will be players ten Hag would only sign off on. Even if they are “only” his B list.
I think we'll get atleast one striker in at the bare minimum
I hope 60% still don’t believe you will sign him. That’s crazy.
As if to confirm the improbability of that, three minutes passed without any posts at all…
2000 will only happen if he’s spotted at the airport.
Signing Casemiro was an excellent move for lots of reasons, including how it affects the likelihood of this transfer happening.
We immediately became less desperate for a central midfielder (style differences a side), and can now certainly get by without signing De Jong this summer. Strengthening our hand in terms of who stumps up the outstanding wages.
We can actually go into the final hours of this window saying "we won't pay a penny towards the outstanding wages, so it's up to you". How rare for us to be in a strong position in negotiating a transfer!
I think Barca will crumble and offer to pay up (might still not make a difference as De Jong might be planning to ride this campaign against him out). In such a scenario the £15m? deferred wage we were once under pressure to pay can certainly be effectively deducted from what we paid for Casemiro, in that his signing turned the tables on who's paying it.

?
It is effectively Ornstein saying he doesn't know.
It might be his most likely destination, it might not be.
World of difference vs "IT IS his most likely destination".
Ha! As I was fecking typing.
To Chelsea? The feckers.
Seriously? We’re doing this?
My 2000 post is used up on this clown?! Oh well, it was his 95% probability that brought me here, full circle I guess!
Can you summon spirits too?
Off to Chelsea it seems.
London office!Not to Manchester?
If he wants to be a squad player for Chelsea fair enough. Gallagher is five times the player he is.
Pretty sure there are flights to Manchester as well.Not to Manchester?
Does anyone really care anymore? He’s a mentally weak amazing person I admire.
Aren't our offices based in London?
Hot hot hot!
If he decides to leave and Chelsea pip us to this, that is far worse than just losing out to Barca...
We do have an office in Mayfair…
Do players ever go there?
Just because he’s on a flight to London means he’s off to Chelsea?
No player has ever gone to our london offices to complete a deal, as far as I'm aware, lovely straw clutching though 
He's probably not even going to London, or anything to do with a transfer.
