Wait till Frenkie sees the open air swimming area at Salford Docks...he'll loose his shit over that diving opportunity!
I love the idea, it's just ridiculous enough for this thread - but Kessie isn't a free agent. He has a valid contract, he just can't play in La Liga until and unless Barca register him.
That's not the only problem with the plan but the pedant in me had to point it out.
Listen, Joan, enough is enough. If we haven’t signed Frenkie within few days then I’ve a good mind to EXTEND THE BLOODY DEADLINE BY ANOTHER WEEK.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
If not then, the week after definitely though
ETH beginning to realise he's joined Barnum's Circus, not a major football club...
If true, the big question is why. I mean everyone could see we are a circus
This is beyond rumors about Sneijder, the player we all assumed that would vastly improve us. With FDJ, not so sure...
Best case scenario here is that we sign a player that would clearly prefer to stay where he is. Recipe for disaster that.
Sack it off. Move on to someone else whilst there is still plenty of time before the start of the season.

Any chance he can be signed while on tour with Barca ? Or if anything will it be a case of waiting until back?
then someone else swoops in...
So what? He doesn't want to come here.
Big day, someday soon! Stay strong, muppets! This is what you trained for!!
Genuine concern for some in here if he doesn't end up coming 
The Sun may have some news.
good to see we are at the stage of the transfer thread where everyone is slowly losing it
Nah i'm as sane and as confident as i have been throughout the whole thing.
Still got a distance left in me yet!
he would rather stay where he is. That might not be possible so he will have to move. If he moves his preference may be to play with ETH again. A coach he knows very well and played his best football for.
its no secret he loves Barca, the city. He has a beautiful home and life there. His fiancé is also in love with the place, so naturally he’d rather stay but this deal is complex, Hence why were holding tight for a minute.
the only issue is the rumours that were not looking at a plan b. Seems silly but at the same time, makes us seem pretty confident this is getting done or has a good shot. ETH and Frenkie know each other well, clearly they communicate... so let’s see. ETH believes this guy is special and no one can be better in this team for us and what we need, so we should try everything to get it over the line.
Tedious though isn’t it?
This was never going to be a quick transfer. Ten hag has allegedly already said he is prepared to wait as long as it takes. Not worried about this at all.

I convinced myself that all he can do is run with the ball a bit and play a 5yd pass. So yeah, great if we sign him because we'll be better at beating the press. Not the end of the world if we don't.
Are you up for waiting till deadline day and not having this go through? In that case I assume we won't make any more signings and any incomings will be in Jan.
Basically a blonde Fred
Stay strong fellow muppets!
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye

We know it’s a long slog but never forget All the sneijders, fabregas end Thiago threads have led to this, remember who you are, and remember we will NOT LOSE THIS ONE! form a line; he shall not pass! Hold the line! Hold..
The way some go on about him is like he's peak Messi. It's not like signing him is the be all and end all of Ten Hag's plan. Sure, it would be ideal for him to get all his targets but he's got 3 out of the 4 players he wanted.
I just don't understand the whole De Jong or bust thing. Or why it seems Tielemans is the alternative when we have enough 8s. We can get a solid DM, play a 4-3-3 and pair the DM with Bruno and one of Eriksen/VdB/Fred/Garner/Hannibal/Zidane and we'd have a solid midfield.
Fingers crossed we end up getting De Jong because I don't think we need Tielemans and I don't want to see another season of McFred

More like poor man's Mctominay
Well Ten Hag thinks that Frenkie would be just as important for his team as Messi was for Barca so yeah it is a big deal to get him.
Have to say this has been my feeling too for a while. This doesn’t feel like a good fit. Of course this is all coming from nothing but media reports, but they all seem quite consistent on this front.
I love muppet geebs.
Muppet Penna and muppet Geebs is surely the wombo combo that will get us over the lineI love muppet geebs.
ETH already said either Frenkie or no one. So no point losing marbles knowing there is no plan B transfer target. Wait patiently and enjoy.
Sorry chap, but that Messi comment there, sums up everything that has been wrong with utd since fergie left, i.e. value of the individual and what they bring as an individual talent, over the function of the team. A possession based midfielder that can carry the ball forward is fundamental to how ETH wants us to play and there is no better (in his mind) than FDJ to carry out this function for the TEAM. I dont think he will come, but if he does, well done to ETH for sticking by his number one target, and not just spending money because it's there.
Did he?
I thought he said he wants the right players, the quote wasn't "Frenkie y nada mas"... Please...
Actually I'd welcome anyone to prove to me that FdJ is so much better than T.Neves?
The last is also deep lying playmaker, plus he is PL proven, while Frenkie is Barca flop.
Forget it and move on.
They may take our lives but they will never take our MUPPET SEASON!!
