So guys, this like about the agents being caught off guard by the Chelsea links... i've not fully read it, but am i right in thinking that it means Chelsea agents are surprised and caught off guard about the apparent concrete interest? Or is it everyone was caught off guard about how quickly they announced interest?

I could use a few chocolate brownies to get me through this saga. Tedious.
It reads as though the players agents have had no contact from Chelsea
Sounds like Boehly runs a tight ship. There might be more hijackings in the future.
Is anyone still confident that this'll happen?
As TheReligion stated, it's Frenkie's agents who were caught off guard by the Chelsea links, especially since Chelsea didn't even approach his camp.
To sum up Chelsea's links, they're interested, but they're not actively working on bringing the player in. They might if we step away, but that remains to be seen.
Yes?
I still get the feeling Chelsea are being used to get the price up. Of course, I also thought Dwight Yorke was gonna be shit...
Yep. Worst case we pay an extra 10M. We have that money, it's just a question of how much we can push Barca. I think any sane person would pay Barca an extra 10M instead of spending 65M on Antony.
Why you feckers so worried?
We're just giving him more time with the missus, after all, he did just propose....let them have fun.
He'll join us in Norway.

They are trying to force United’s hand into paying more as in X and Y might happen if we don’t pay and close it now. It’s pretty pathetic
No reason not to be.
So yes, it's as thought Barca are using Chelsea links to force United into acting, even though they have interest, as of now, it's far from serious.
I understand now thanks to you guys. It's shocking really, Barca have no shame it seems, or they're trying their best to start a bidding war.
Haha same!
So basically now thats not worked and United are standing firm, they're going back to their public stance of "He's not for sale... unless we truly, truly need to sell". Shocking how they can't just keep their mouths shut and get on with stuff. They're truly building up to the Barca or Money moment
It’s just…. Well, you don’t have to post everything that pops into your head.
I hope we discussed whether the player wants to join us or not. Else we don't want someone coming here and sulking over what could have been with Barca.
Just walk away.
Sign a striker to replace ronaldo and antony whilst we place rashford up front and pray ten hag can polish turd.

If de Jong wants to come to United, then it doesn't matter how interested Chelsea are.
1. Barca must sell
2. Were the only club in for him, the Chelsea link is a Barca fabrication.
3. a deal is agreed, just the wage issue with Barca to resolve for his agent. I wouldn’t want to be screwed out of 17m either.
Abso-friggin-lutely!
We should start dropping our offer by €1m every 6 hours. That should speed up negotiations
Does he? Does he really?
He’s done feck all
I think Barca have been cold calling clubs offering de Jong and Depay
Why is everyone so worried then? He's done more in two weeks than obama in 8 years
No one saw this comingBased on what?!
I'm walking awayyyy
Just a thought....this has been dragging on for a couple of months now. What happens when the Board realise he isn't English!
Do i look worried? I've seen the Chelsea links for what they're worth from the very beginning - a ruse by Barca to get us to pay what they want. Same as the whole he's staying crap
This has been dragging on, so has Christian Eriksen.
I’m relaxed about both. More importantly the squad seems healthier

Barca seem to be a pain to deal with.
In a way this surely won't drag on till the deadline day as they would supposedly need the cash but then looking at their state and our resolve to not over pay i don't know.
I won't blame the board too much if this goes south seeing how much of a nightmare barca are at negotiations.

It certainly can’t and won’t.
nooo, stay
It'd be interesting if Chelsea are letting Barca use their name to hurry us along, given that they want the money to push through a deal for Raphinha, a player that Chelsea also reportedly want. What would Chelsea really gain from that?
Where on earth do you get any real confidence he actually wants to come here from though?
Do keep up.
Everyone we sign has to be Dutch, playing in Holland or have played for Ajax in their career now.
The English thing is done, thank goodness.
If this is the case & I was Murtough, I would offer Bayern £50m for Lewandowski…
See how Laporta likes them onions.
I sure hope so, it's getting a tad boring at the moment.
He wouldn't give half a feck. Lewandowski wouldn't joint United.
Just like FDJ won’t join Chelsea. Still causes hassle for the buying club.
