Surprised that Melissa Reddy doesn't get a full moon according to these weird aggregator tier systems. By all accounts she's usually quite good and they seem to be willing to give half of Spain a perfect reliability rating.

Nice to see a fresh unique take on things
"Significant complications" reminds me of the episode where Nathan Fielder takes the criminal Santa guy to the mall, knowing that the manager didn't want them there.
It's Melissa Reddy though, well known Liverpool shill.
Right?
Right?
Believe that's called sexual harrassment mate.
Isn’t Mitten based in Barcelona randomly? Surely he’d be quite literally close to the action to know something right? I know he’s not really a transfer guy though.

Millions of people live in Barcelona without knowing inside shit about what's going on at Barca, and neither does Mitten. If he's getting info it's from Man United.
That just sounds like his opinion after watching the interviews
She’s jumped ship.
Mitten is connected in both Manchester and Barcelona
Them tweets are pretty much everything we know already, but it does state that de Jong would have given assurances to ten Hag for us to have gotten this far into negotiations and agreed a fee.
We wouldn't just go in blind for a player and hope and pray that they want to join us, it'd make absoluely no sense at all. I'm sure there has been times when clubs have done that, including ourselves, but i wouldn't imagine it's a common occurance.
Still, i'm confident, i'm sure it'll be done and it's only a matter of time now

So essentially, ten Hag is very confident he'll come and plans to build his entire team around him. I imagine thats what sold him on the project, the fact that he'll be extremely wanted and will have a team built around him.
It's quite clear ten Hag is pretty convinced he wants to come. Why would we walk away from a deal where we've agreed a fee and the manager says the player (who he knows personally) will come?
But it's taking too long so we should definitely walk away

The one aspect of this that gives me confidence that we'll make the deal happen is that ETH wants Frenkie. We may question whether Frenkie wants to join United, but it's a WC year and United can pay a shitload of money that (apparently) Barcelona can't. Frenkie's only option if he really doesn't want to remain in Barcelona is to pull a Bale, and Frenkie doesn't come across as a Bale kinda guy.
Have faith brother, he's the chosen one
All this "bell ringing" stuff has far different connotations in Thailand...
You're massively undermining an experienced professional in the industry. Mitten isn't the type to post updates unless he's heard something though and when he does he's right a lot of times. Actual Utd fans know this
You don't really know Mitten, do you?
Hang on a second, didn't Ten Hag say if we couldn't get who we wanted(FDJ) then we would use somebody in the squad and mould them into a FDJ clone?
Edit.Just re read the tweet and noticed it said we don't have a plan B
.My bad.If De Jong had no intention to leave he wouldn't be negotiating for a payout, if he wants to stay and wants his money he literally has to do nothing other than come to work until 2026.
And the more he says this then the more Barca MAY keep their stance knowing how much EtH wants him!
I know that even he prefers living in Barcelona to living in Manchester!

Not sure what that benefit is to Barca, they are negotiating with Frenkie and they are still the ones who want this deal more than the player does.
What stance are you referring to here?
Not going to lie, it was about time for some positive updates
Pushing De Jong out.
Might not be groundbreaking but Andy Mitten is connected to Barca just as much as United and as reliable as they come so you can trust it at least!
The hard headedness on their part.
I would have thought that was obvious already. Desperate isn’t a word I would use, but I have seen it used elsewhere.
Well i stand corrected then and will listen to what Mitten has to say.
I won't lie, i wasn't 100% familiar with his importance
He's been wrong in the past before, but he usually doesn't engage in speculation and clickbait
Got it, thanks for the clarification. By now, no one can deny that Barcelona are trying to get him to leave for their rebuild.
That’s obviously not a literal ‘don’t have a plan b’ but a figurative one to highlight how important Frenkie is to ETH. Let’s not lose our shit now people, hold your nerve…….
@mazhar13 Just for clarity for everyone here Mitten is well connected to Barcelona right?
