I've always sort of assumed he knows the game is up but his preference is still, if possible, to stay at Barca. That's why it makes sense for him to play it this way. If Barca change their minds, I'd assume he'd stay, but no harm having an oven ready deal with us for if that doesn't work out.
Absolutely this. The guff they are spouting is obviously ridiculous and doomers lap it up. Frustrating
This seems like by far the most likely situation to me
If it was a player who had no history with ETH then I’d share your concerns. I feel there’s mutual respect between them.
His agent who recently had one of his clients join our club also isn’t going to want to piss Utd off.
Guess I’m just trying to remain optimistic
22:00 Sewey tells caftards he doesn’t rate Sport - sport via Sportwitness
22:01 Sewey is open to reading Sports tweets and considers them reliable -sport via Sportwitness
I refuse to believe utd have done it again and spent weeks after a fella who has no interest. Therefore the latest tweets can't be true. Ed is gone, utd can't still be broken. It can't.......

Same! Or at least these are the things I keep telling myself.
Like when city tried to buy Kaka this
Jamie Redknapp “He’s in the top 2 or 3 midfielders in the world!” ….I’m a big fan of FDJ but I’m not sure I’m that hyperbole yet….give me 2 weeks though!
Tbf if she was from Chile or southern Spain I can understand. But coming from Holland it would like she has never left home.
She looks like an outdoorsey person. Lots of things to do... Just wetter.
Feels like a big day/few days coming up either way though.. This won’t drag on much longer. We’ll find out soon enough if there is a genuine problem with him wanting to join, now that there is total agreement on the fee
Touchy lot. Can't point out the obvious, can only post tweets they like. Basically conspiracy theorists but on a fecking internet football forum. Christ.
He's undroppable for Netherland NT. Even not at his best, sharpest, he's still their best midfielders. Look at the other midfielders they have.
Look at Memphis and Bergwjin situation at their clubs, and they're still starters for Netherland NT. FdJ is leagues above in position where the drop in quality for the alternative is even bigger.
Tha what?
He needs to chain himself to his locker like those tree hugging folks. But knowing laporte he would probably fine him 10 weeks wages for being disruptive to the harmony of the team.
I’m rehashing Sports twitter timeline.
My comedy is wasted.
Oh ok, never mind, I thought you were implying he doesn't want to join United cos he supported Liverpool as a kid.
Holy shit Sport are on one tonight. Barca are really giving it large in destroying his character
100%
He’s open to joining us but certain issues need to be resolved and if they can’t then it’s not exactly a bad life living in Barcelona.
Posters expecting him to come out and make a statement either way are naive. I’d also keep my mouth shut till it’s resolved one way or another.
Likely cost them less than €17m
Are we in, or are we out today?
Remember when you said the Chelsea interest was real and I said it wasn't. I do. You attacked my logic then and now you come in here spouting shite about 'conspiracy'
You're so deep in the mud you're drowning.
Has Sport mentioned the weather yet as an excuse he is not coming?
Barcelona "Mean and greedy Frenkie de Jong held us to ransom and made us pay him 17million euro, that we definitely didn't owe him, just to leave." @sport
So in the world of Sport... in the past 3 hours anyway...
De Jong says he isn't leaving and that his agent had told United to stop trying to sign him.
De Jong is open to leaving the club but is 100% not going to United.
De Jong says its impossible to leave.
These are the biggest wums out there. Whoever takes them seriously needs their heads looking at

Sport put one trash article out and we get 50 posts of tweets quoting various bits of it. Great.
Well, he didn't give himself that long contract extension, he wasn't good enough as United manager, but I don't think anyone can accuse him of sabotaging on purpose.That explains his tenure as a manager
We cant be that stupid to buy more players that dont want to come here. That time is hopefully long gone.
I think that Frankie just want his €15 Mill from Barca and then feck off to Manchester. Probably have a verbal agreement with EtH from weeks ago…

Sport have triggered this thread.
Whether or not we get him I want him to really stick it to them. No way he should be trotting out there with less than he’s owed.
From a PR perspective he is fighting back on the Laporte narrative. Trying to leave a legacy that he still loves the club.... Instead of Laporte's which is that you are unwilling to help save the club's financial problems.
Obviously Frenkie is also trying to extract or claw back as much of the £17million back as possible by refusing to go along.
Laporte knows that the longer Frenkie refuses to get onboard with the plan the more disruptive it will be for xavi.
Won't be long. Laporte will want him off his wage bill before the 30th July
Missed the Romano tweet?
I'll accept that. I've been right on pretty much everything so far though. Laporta, Chelsea, Deferred payments etc.
You wouldn’t perhaps be reminiscing about Di Maria, would you?
This guy won’t be living in some 1 bedroom in salford. He will be in a beautiful multi million pound mansion in leafy Cheshire. He will be just fine.
