This is the real world, not Football Manager, my man.
And even there you can’t do this.
5 hours ago, Romano reported that Frenkie's visit to London isn't transfer related..
If this doesn’t go through I’ll blame VdB
So has anything new actually happened yet?
... the wedding?
Auba not happening has us scrambling.
The fictional wedding was a ruse! Both Depay and Frenkie have flown to London.
United would only need a RB next summer so no big deal really, Ronaldo still can go
There was a red wedding
Especially those who have bought new suits
By taking the first letter of each word in the phrase "Donny's Wedding", we can make a prediction on who our final transfer will be.
So, if we take D and then W...
Oh, no.
DW... it's Danny Welbeck.
They were all decoys...

I’d love it if the wedding is a cover and they just plucked Van De Beek’s name out of thin air
“If anyone asks just say it’s for Donny’s wedding or something”
This is so on. Maybe not for us, but it's on! Please let this happen.
I cant work it out. Is Donny getting married, or not?
Donny doesn’t know, so don’t tell Donny.
The Red Wedding...the day Frenkie signs for United
of course he isn't
Antony is a smoke screen for Frenkie. Everyone is looking for Antony and his plane while John Murtough snuck into the wedding party dressed up as one of them "helpers" waiting for Frenkie to sign the guest book (it's actually a contract).
Isn't latest news that Auba in fact is happening?
Dubravka is another decoy.
They asked was he going actually, and he said “YES! We GO for it!”Good idea. We could snare a few Dutch players that way. Is de Ligt going?!
Hope the NT manager isn’t going however, that could be really awkward. And he would probably move the reception to Wings.
Wedding was called off after Donny walked in on FDJ with the bride. Now Mikky is out of the picture and FDJ is convinced to come to United but you need to get rid of Donny first
Just let this thread die in peace. We don't have the money for him.
Ah yes, if I may contribute to this, just as you were all hoping it was over, I see that the first sentence says that Chelsea definitely IS the most likely destination whereas the second sentence says that Chelsea MAY be the most probable destination.
So the second sentence does leave open the possibility that another club is his most probable destination.
In both sentences, however, we are only talking about likelihood or probability (these being essentially the same thing) and therefore in both sentences there is an allowance that he could go to another club, only that would be less likely or less probable.
In conclusion, whilst there may be a slight difference between them on a forensic level, the essence of the two communications is not significantly different.
Unfortunately he got his contracts mixed up and Frenkie just signed a salary reduction with Barcelona
DVB - So you want to steal my job on my wedding day?
Tweet contradicts itself. It's so on!
English journalists know sod all regarding our budget.
No... But yes.
People saying let the thread die…
…but continue to post here and as such keep the thread going themselves

At risk of adding to this debate, I humbly disagree. The difference between "is" and "may be" is one of certainty and doubt, and could not possibly be bigger. (can we take this to 2,000 pages?)
The twitter age. News that isn’t news.
Like one in a million.
I understand the burnout. They need to learn how to pace themselves.People saying let the thread die…

Donny got a run out for the last 2 mins
I don't fully agree, it's really strange that Frenkie would be in London now though.
Either he sees Casemiro, Antony, Eriksen, Martinez, Malacia sign and sees the qualities of Bruno, Rashford, Sancho already and sees its going to do well this season, or he likes Chelsea... or he's conveniently in London with Depay for no reason.
United make around $600-700m revenue per year, even with wages, and signings they can more than afford a big window. (obviously throwing in signings and everything else the gross profit will be much less) but United are in a position to go hard in a window if needed.
I think they know they're playing catch up and if FDJ was available, even paying for Depay or whatever, I think United would do a deal like paying half this season, half next season or in installments after 20 appearances to make it payable in Q1 next year the remainder of the fee.
If FDJ signaled right now he was available they'll find a way IMO.
