Normally do but when it starts destroying other peoples enjoyment of the boards we have to act. Most of those removed should have been done years ago. Some of them acted immaturely in pms asking them to take a breather before they post. Others acted very maturely and I thank them for that. Anyway enough about that
I take them with a pinch of salt because I think they’re not true but Sport are saying he’s refusing to leave again.
This is going to be announced tonight.
I’m convinced they just flick a coin; heads he leaves, tails he stays
De Jong is going to be great for us, I know this because I am not excited one bit about this potential transfer and I'm always wrong when it comes to these things.
I remember lurking on here years back and some of the transfer threads were great, especially when there were a couple posters who created funny gifs (guys called Codex and Ole or something similar)
We could do with more of that
Olly was good
Olly. Brilliant at gifs. Those are the days that a transfer forum brings life to everyone!
That would actually require effort and thought and im afraid it's too much to ask
Yeah I remember the ozil thread. Ended badly but was the stuff of legend
The Thiago thread circa 2013 is the gold standard.
The Pogba one was also very good, my rendition of "we've gone and bought Paul Pogba" to the tune of "We didn't start the fire" was a highlight.
Tevez and Berbatov's were both very good also.
Yeah seems that way
Yesterday they said we were negotiating personal terms!
You're all wrong.
John Murtough, who is just another Woodward and can't negotiate, working for Manchester United, who are just buying big names that don't fit the right system, are negotiating with Barcelona, who always take us to the cleaners like every other club, for frenkie De jong, who doesn't want to play for a shit team like ours. If it happens then it'll be because Frenkie is a fat version of Di Maria. We should've bought Maalmaromadramama from Malatasaray because even though nobody has seen him play he's an FM wonderkid.
Looks like the ending to this one will be better than the Vidal thread. 
Just seen him speaking In English. Was surprisingly good. Is it common that Dutch people speak good English?
Vidal/Sneijder we’re the best.Nah Massimo Di Culo is top dog.
The deal or no deal Kagawa gif was my personal favourite
They all speak perfect English. It's difficult to direct American tourists to the nearest brothel without speaking the lingo.
Fair play.
Yes. I’m pretty sure it’s the European country that speaks English the most, of all without it as an official language.
Not even only in Europe, just in general the best non-native English speakers, of course it does help that Dutch is the closest major language to English
Yes he was, does he not post on here anymore?
He made a post about quitting a while back, don't know if he's returned since. Haven't seen him post a right lot.
Pity he was very talented at the gifs.
Said it before but for those who didn't know, he left the Caf because...
it's Rebekah Vardy's account
In general Germania language speakers that I've met speak it very nicely.
Aside from the Germans themselves that is.

Wash your mouth out son! He’s POTY for sure.
Want the truth as far as I see it or can tell? We agreed a deal weeks ago with both player and club. Remember when Spurs started randomly splashing tens of millions on various players (Lamela etc) BEFORE they sold Gareth Bale? It's a way to maintain leverage and claim paucity of funds while you know full well there's 80m coming in.
The same thing happened with Sancho - we'd agreed everything with player and club until his agent demanded 40m pounds as a fee, which we baulked at, having already agreed a deal with Dortmund. That was why we were so shocked not to sign him that first summer: we felt once the agent dropped his demands, which he did, that we would go ahead with it. Dortmund / Zorc held fast and maintained that the date for selling was past, even though it wasn't our fault exactly, and left it till the summer after.
de Jong is done and we're just sort of seeing the various political ways it can be played out. His camp are saying he "doesn't want to leave" because it keeps Barcelona's fans happy, etc. but there's no WAY we get this far through the negotiation without some idea of whether he would actually join us - which he clearly would.
Any truth to the reports about him "resisting a move"?
Same here mate!
Feck what a loooong summer!I only lurked and read on this forum back then before joining.
Nope, none.
As Romero said earlier, this theory is senseless. Why would a player wait a month to tell his club and the club that wants him that he is going nowhere? Unless De Jong and his agent are professional trolls, that theory is dubious.
Yes! The gifs and the banter after were always fantastic.
How the hell would we know? I doubt anyone here knows him personally.
I'm going with he'd prefer not to move but won't throw his toys out the pram if he does.
I’m going with the fact that the deal is almost concluded, United wouldn’t have done that if they knew the lad was resistant. EtH has spoken with him directly and got the go ahead needed. These stories are just fiction
I wouldn't even be mad if that happened
