Frenkie is worth a 100million if you ask him, the fact that we can get him for cheaper with Barcelona's situation and them having adequate alternatives in Gavi/Busquets in his current role, is just a big bonus.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

What the feck is wrong there? 40 year can't play fifa ? Looks like you are the one to grow up here !
EA SPORTS gaming for £££ awards says what?
Thiago. Ronaldinho if you want me to take it back to the pre Woodward days.
KING JONG AINT GOT NOTHING ON ME!
Hazard
Pedro
oh yeah. £60m you say...We never wanted to pay the agent fees for Hazard. Pedro ? Seriously?
At this rate , you can mention all the scouted players who ended up on other clubs. Mane, Kroos, Modric,Bale, Benzema, Fabinho, VVD, Kante etc.
You said name one I gave you two.
Tbh you asked for one. You've got a few, so stop changing the coal posts.
We chased Pedro for ages, he then signed with Chelsea after being linked with them for about two days
You need to grow up. I'm pretty much the same age because after 34 you might as well stop counting, and I play video games. Should I grow up? I don't work long hours at the business factory, literally ripping my remaining hair out because computer not worky worky, dealing with team members coming to me in tears because Mr Feckface - Director of Fecking Shit Up and External Comms - is fecking their shit up, only to come home to a house full of kids who need me to do everything except wipe their arses and sit watching some crap film about a dumb fish who lost his dad. Boo fecking hoo, feck that shit.
Once they've been herded one by one for their baths or showers and had their school clothes washed and pressed, finally going to sleep after spending the hours of 5:30-9:00 making more noise than Cina's mum during the last spin cycle of a 1600rpm cotton wash, I'm not going to sit and do something boring as shit like read an Avon brochure or find out how many capybaras are left in the wild. I'm pretending to be a fecking Thargoid destroying motherfecking Space Pirate, or building a dynasty made up entirely of inbred monks in CK3 before I invade France (because FECK. THEM.) or flying a tank through a helicopter just in time for Battlefield to lose its shitty connection again.
This is the most boring saga in a long time
Guys, stop changing the coal posts.
"News" aggregators fighting for relevance
Of course he’s not. I’ve said this repeatedly throughout the Caf and also earlier in this thread.
Yes, watch any Brazil game and you see Fred's true role.
The thread has officially jumped the shark coal posts.
If I’m not mistaken, we allowed the most goals in our PL history. For me, that is priority no.1, and some of that is the midfield. FDJ would help playing out of the back, more possession, even positioning-wise he would help. Pairing him with a, say Brozovic, another defensively minded distributor would be ideal.
Another option would be to go to a back 3, allowing one CB to step between the lines to challenge, and if you do that, you can play more of an 8 with FDJ.
Best post ever.
Changing the goal posts.
stick with what you know mate !!FDJ is a deep lying playmaker, similar to Jorginho or Pirlo. The other two CMs do the ball winning and pressure high up the pitch when necessary. Fred could do this job (he does it for Brazil) and probably McTominay too. But then you are leaving out Bruno and playing a 4-3-3. In a 4-2-3-1, you need more of a DM to pair with FDJ IMHO.
Will this guy be worth 70m? That’s the question. That’s more then halve our budget on 1 player and we need about 4/5 players. Why can we never find the quality cheaper players. Do we even have scouts? If so they need sacking.
Old man shouts at coal posts.
Looks like we are back to our shithouse dealings.We are trying to drive the price down when we know others clubs can swoop for FDJ anytime.
I think it's fairly safe to say that we don't have scouts, not up to the standards at least. Thing with Frenkie is that he is obviously a quality player, so I would personally spend that amount on him than get someone for let's say £10-15m cheaper but with much more risk, someone like Fred. That is a big chunk of our transfer budget but here is hope we can somehow shift some deadwood, also we will free up quite a bit of money from the players that have left on a free.
Looks like you believe a fake, shit journalist.
Post of the year. I particurlarly enjoyed the highlighted parts.
I came here for some hope after the disappointment in the Nunez thread only to find this thread even more miserable.
Out of line, has connections within the club and was spot on last summer with our transfers. His beyond on the pitch podcast is good, proper united fan.
No he doesn't. He chats mostly shit.
To be fair, he's literally just describing negotiations. I'm pleased we haven't done the Woodward special - asking price £60m so we offer £60m and then get upsold another £10m in add ons. Let's see how it plays out.
This thread went from hope to two old men yelling at eachother.
He's making bank from playing FIFA. What's he meant to do, stop playing games, knit a cardigan, and get a grown up job at an office?
I like him sometimes, and other times not so much, but I'd never begrudge someone the privilege of getting paid to play freakin' video games. Are you insane?!
Take that back!
