There’s a tweet on his thread to that effect. Might be rubbish, who knows!
Frenkie de Jong | The last muppeting lap

The last remaining excitement of this thread reaching 2000 seems far away but we are one false rumour of a last day push to do it. Come on muppets believe.
It's been really difficult this summer to filter the crap from the real stuff
I'l take them both. That would make this summer one of our best ever
Mes que un transfer window!
This only mentions Depay?
Fair fecks to @Brownie85Brownie overtook him
It’s a great honour to carry the torch as muppet overlord.
The Depay fee will be used to pay Frenkies deferred wages and then its FDJ to us too....keep up ffs.
But he came to London with FDJ, and the money we pay Barca for Memphis unlocks the boss level (FDJ)!
The talk is that Depay will be a freebie.
I fear for our muppets' mental health.
Being a muppet keeps you insanely sane! (like two pencils up the nose and underpants on the head levels of sane!)
Deal doesn't need to happen this window. De Jong's missus clearly need some convincing. Give it some time for the entourage to change her mind.
I don’t think this will happen.
But it’s really weird for them both to fly to London right now given the circumstances

Depay is the key.
Let's gooo choo choo
I am expecting @Berbaclass to sneak in with some serious muppetry tomorrow.
The looming deadline doesn’t mean anything for Frenkie though. Why would he suddenly cave in now when he hasn’t flinched for months?
Haha the muppet is strong with us all... Tomorrow we reach muppetdom regardless
This thread is going to be hilarious when it dawns on folk tomorrow that De Jong isn't making a last minute move to United.
My guess would be that after the deadline has passed, he really has no other options. He can continue as is, on his current contract and play a bit part role, here and there, or he can reduce his wages and be back in favour again. He goes from holding all the card to holding none of them to be honest
Not one off but the very best especially if they all turn out to be a success .
Man, your farming today has been off the charts spectacular. Fair fecks to a seriously dedicated muppet.Haha the muppet is strong with us all... Tomorrow we reach muppetdom regardless
For us to have any chance of signing him, I think barca need to generate funds to pay off de Jong. Possibly why Chelsea are trying to lower their fee for Aubameyang with Alonso as a make weight. They don't want to pay more for Auba and potentially strengthen us.
Even if we miss out on de Jong and get Depay, I think it would be an important deal for us to cover a few attacking positions.

Well aren't you just a lovely cheerful chap. Such insightful posts too
Haha cheers. This thread has been my home for the past couple of months. It's gone beyond the transfer now, it's just the ultimate banter thread
... and what if we're right? What if the prophecy is true? Isn't that worth fighting for? Isn't that worth dying for?
Mate lighten up, just a bit of fun
What is best in life?
To crush the muppets. See them driven before you. And to hear the lamentations of their women.
But in all seriousness, this thread is an unreal psych class on hysteria. Not even a whiff of him coming or wanting to come and the thread has whipped itself into hysteria and still feeding off of scraps. It's insane.
I'd love it if he came, I really would but I have to say, seeing reality dawn on the muppets is just as exciting.
I think it has been turned into ‘just a bit of fun’ by people who were in fact deadly serious, perhaps as a way to climb down without looking foolish!
I mean it doesn't matter either way to be honest it's just a thread on an internet forum, doesn't affect anyone.
Not at all. I've been confident the whole way through, and if he doesn't come then i won't feel or look foolish at all. As a club, we've done nothing wrong at all. We must have had some assurances that he wanted to come, but other things were at play that stopped it (wages, partner, family etc). All things outside of our control
You've got us bang to rights! Handcuffs on! We were caught attempting an irony-laden climbdown. Oh, wait, this just in... the transfer window isn't shut, and it's still on! As you were!
If he's given us assurances, you can count family and partner out of it. He would have known about that prior to assurances.
As for wages, yes, that's the likely hold up but that's something United could cover and make an offer to cover too. I don't believe it's as big a stumbling block as folk say.
Anyone got a flight tracker for tomorrow?
You may have mistaken us for people who care what reality thinks.
Slightly off topic but i just saw this on a rival forum (so take it with a pinch of salt) -
If that is true then no wonder we have acted like buffoons in the transfer window in recent years.
