fRENKIE DE jONG must be getting close considering we’re now discussing European naming nuances. Pretty sure that puts us at 97% done.
I'd trade their mess for our mess in a split second if we had won at least one more CL and couple PL titles...
And we could've easily
And we could've easily
Wow...that's some statement!
I think it's getting close now. Closer than it was yesterday
Fren (as in friend) or Fran (as in frank) - key
Big day today!
Can now hear that Rosie Gaines song now
Imagine he's wank after all this.
Play him next to McTom or Fred and he probably will be. Got to get him a partner
If Pep's Barca never existed. We could have played them ten times in a CL final and we'd be lucky to even win one.
Thursday is D-day.
The 10-11 team sure, the 08-09 team? I think we win 3 out of 10.
Time for the removal of my Jong. Doesn’t quite roll off the tongue though.. wait that didn’t sound right.
I reckon will be announced at 8:30.
Is it happy FDJ day today?
Another week for Barca to cook their books.
Oh yes lads 
The important part:
Some great negotiations by the team. Leaves us with plenty of cash spare for other targets!

Jongs out ?
Andy Mitten, who covers Barcelona and United, spoke about it before and it's quite interesting. We all know there's a lot of politics at play but apparently they just went through this mad period where they'd feel pressured to sign every player the fans wanted (I think to stay in power? but don't quote me on that) and to do so they basically blew through all their money paying ridiculous fees for players like the £100m+ for Dembele.
I think where Madrid were winning CL after CL too, it put pressure on them to do things to appease the fanbase. But that's my words, not his.
Jong IN
Shout out to Ronaldo for pushing these deals through 
feck yes! I reckon we will now move quicker to get our other signings done. Think our other signings hinged on the FDJ deal, both in terms of our budget and how ETH wants to complement his team’s spine.
I'm fine with itwe’re going to be like wolves are with Portuguese but with Dutch players
It's ok, we know you meant 8:30PM
Kind of interesting that Luckhurst has gone with this quite early. I believe him but would be nice for some other journos to chime in and corroborate.
Whatever you do, don't watch the 8-2 Bayern massacre. Just imagine he missed that game.
I'm fine with it
we just need de ligt to get the infamous trio back together - de jong, donny and de ligt. It’s crazy that literally the whole of football wanted them three and we are about to have two of them
Really hope donny kicks on with us under ETH.exciting stuff
Of course.
Van Persie got 8-2'd by us once also. That didn't seem to effect him too badly in the future
If true it's a massive win for Murtough, from an optics perspective alone while the deal feels like it dragged we didn't pay stupid money and negotiated a really favourable deal for the club. Hopefully a sign of us no longer being bent over during every major transfer.
So he just needs to pick the number 21 shirt and get us the sweet sweet 21.Van Persie got 8-2'd by us once also. That didn't seem to effect him too badly in the future
Written in the stars.
The previous number 21 (Cavani) just left
Have we signed De jong yet?
