He was a talent but your overrating him a bit here.

We don’t give a feck.
So weird to chase a player who doesn't want to come. Think this is a bad move.
You’re making no sense. Who is our plan B that will make us win things again?
He sure was a bigger talent than anything we've produced since Pogba.
Had a little giggle during the Melbourne game at the thought of signing Folami, his name sounds like a BTEC Fellaini.
then don't respond to my post if u do not care
Frankly I don't know. That's the issue. The midfield market is a bit crap but then again I'm not a professional scout. I'd imagine that our club is looking for alternatives though. At least I hope so because if this falls through and we are stuck with our current midfield options that's simply not good enough.
So there’s my point, we might have a midfield talent as good as a shit plan B. Yet you were trying to refute that.
Alexis Sánchez to arsenal?
Can we stop quoting this prick? "Managing Barca" no youre not you twitter bellend. You wish, jelly fish.
if he stays that’s really a squad that can win everything
It's an aggregator, relax
Would be negligent and stupid not to.
Why isn’t it news? Is it better to bury our heads in the sand and only believe the reports saying he wants to come? Both reports are as vague as each other imo
I don't want him at our club if doesn't want to be here.
Walk away and find someone else.

Hard work can make up for that though. They certainly looked composed on the ball playing against men. The correct attitude will take them a long way.
Same shit different day.
Apart from he and his agent have already ruled that out point blank. If he stays he wants to get paid. Can’t blame him either, the club have already tried to screw him numerous times.
The aggregator is quoting an aggregator.
We'll find out more when the league starts about this registering players talk. If they can't by then, they'll have to budge and give him his money. A bit less than 4 weeks to go, to find out.
Nope.
it was Robben from Madrid to Bayern, he said those comments about Bayern when he was interviewed and asked about what happened in the summer he moved to Bayern
It's aggregatorception
So we’re going to see the same two stories about it being off and he wants to stay vs another small step forward for another 50 days?
People might die
He's right, Greenwood was another level to these kids. Garner is nothing more than an ok talent and he lacks quality in possession and under pressure. The other two talents are Iqbal and Savage and they aren't gonna be playing 10 games between them next season, this if they're lucky.
It's gonna be Fred and Mctominay next season if we aren't signing any midfielders again. Maybe Eriksen will play there against weaker opponents, but these options remain severely underwhelming.
I feel like you dont want to do that. That’s a guy that comes in as your big star. Do you really want him to feel like you’ve put him in a corner and force him to forfeit a significant amount of money he is owed ? We’re probably trying to be as accommodating as possible to avoid having our newest shining toy feeling disgruntled with our club. This is a Barcelona issue they need to be the assholes here not us.
Remember the squad we have is still a very good squad. Last season was a perfect clusterfeck of a storm, but it was not the norm. A few clever additions that suit the managers plans, and crucially a manager who has a plan and a vision that the team can unite around will make our team suddenly look very good.
I don’t know about the title, but with ETH and Steve McClaren coaching these boys I expect we could win a minor cup this season and kick on next. A bit of organisation will work wonders.
Yes, i agree with this.
The only problem i can forsee is that if we wait till the end of the window then clubs will up their asking prices for decent alternatives.
I just hope the club is looking at other midfielders and not putting all their eggs in this De Jong basket. We are not in a position to be picky. There are so many midfielders that would be upgrades over our current lot. While its good to go after the best, sometimes the best don't want to join us for whatever reason and that is just the harsh reality.
You forgot Donny. He can play 8 too
Exactly, the first year we missed out on Sancho Greenwood was coming off of a near 20 goal debut season. It would be different if Zidane, Savage or Hannibal had done that already but all 2 of them have shown so far are some good halves of football in friendly games
Isn't the deadline supposed to be July 31st?
So I think the deadline for getting this deal done has passed now and this looks as dead as a dodo. Hope to see substantial leaks saying this one is off and for us to find another good alternative. Because, let's face it, nobody on this forum thought de Jong was the answer prior to us being linked. So hopefully there's another good option out there. I refuse to believe ETH thinks he can't do anything with us unless he has FDJ.
Or, I'm happy to give these kids a chance because they look pretty damn good to me.

Well 4 weeks is a bit less than 50 days, but yeah that'd be horrific.
That would be great, this saga is awful.
Yes! We do!
Cheers.
I think it's a bit of a stretch not to call them a top club at that time. Real Madrid was in a similar position in those years. Very dramatic from Robben.
