I find your lack of faith in the farce... disturbing.The confidence is beginning to fade.
I'm now only 99.9% certain this deal will go ahead

I don’t think we will play that game. We have agreed a deal with Barca and it’s up to them to honour the deal as agreed and sort their differences with the player. Now the second lever is pulled, I think they will get a move on so they can register their new precious without selling much more of the Crown Jewels!
Stay strong fellow muppet. Good Times are comingThe confidence is beginning to fade.

Sorry but my patience has limits you know? If we haven't heard anything by next Friday, I fear a further drop of 1% is inevitable.
Your support through these hard times is wholly appreciated.
Don't be ringing that bell muppet! You've come too far to give up now, we're approaching the home straight!
If it happens, it will probably be late August.

You know, I don’t think we are ‘trying so hard’ - we agreed a deal and are chill about it, just waiting for the problem to resolve. We’ve seen JM and RA move on to negotiate and seal Martinez from Ajax, and I genuinely think the club is happy how thinks are and confident that the player is ours.
'Rashbonlahor' got his knickers in a never-ending twist.
I need some excitement, we're yet to have an auntie's tweet or see him on holiday with a United player. Not even a liked tweet hinting at something.
Frenkie is starving my muppetry.

Trashbonlahor?
To be fair we are on tour down under, and he is on tour in the states so that kinda thing seems to be on hold.
Totally agree. Replaced one lunatic in Bartomeu with another in Laporta. If I was a Barca fan, I'd actually want to rely on La Masia and attempt a "Busby Babes" type revival.
But nah, they've done the tried and tested method for fecking up in signing a shit load of players they can't actually afford.
Again, totally agree with what you've said and I do think they're blindly banking on the Super League. Will they survive until it becomes politically viable to even raise the prospect of a Super League is the question.
However, on the yearly thing - surely the next stage is to actually sell part of the club? Can see them getting desperate in a year when they've fecked it again.
Wouldn't say on hold as I imagine talks will still be happening, especially with Kounde hanging in the balance and Barca seemingly wanting him.
I think things will move forward a bit soon, at least I hope so. If the news of Xavi talking to the player is true, then things might move quickly
I was on the understanding we started from 95% so in fact you’re 4.9% more certain than a few weeks ago. That’s a decent increase in positivity, good work!The confidence is beginning to fade.

It's all good and well muppetting away on a forum, but seriously, if you guys had to bet hard-earned cash and the odds were evens, what would you bet on FdJ coming to Utd?
Not all about quantity bro, I've been here for 8 years, just 6 years before you catch up "newb"
Over 700 posts in here when 7 would have covered the developments so far
By the way, I had to wait until today to reply, I had used up my newb posting quota for yesterday haha
Smash that like button to stop this travesty ever reoccurring!
I was in the Newbies for about 2 years…. Bur your result is something different mate
Seeing as I don't have a lot of money and a family to look after, I'd not be able to bet much, but I'd put a good £50 or so on him coming. Not much I know, but family and all.
This 3rd lever good or bad for us? Now they hve cash to pay him off?
But not necessarily your own, right?
Brownie alluded to kids I believe?
I'll bet someone's kidney he comes... any volunteers, it's a safe bet
I’d happily put £500 on it. Oh by the way @Shakesey can I borrow £500?!
Now where did I put my loose-change wallet?
Ten hags going to train Fred to play the de Jong role isn’t be..: saves us 70m
Girlfriend wouldn't like me betting the kids kidneys on a football transfer... she just doesn't understand.
In all honesty though, I do believe he's coming and we'll hopefully know more soon
I think it lets them register their new players. No idea if it has any effect on whether FDJ can stay and be paid.
what you saying brownie? You can always have some fun making more kids if necessary.
He still doesn't fit into their wage structure. No matter how many levers they pull, they want FDJ gone.
yes I see we signed three players. And are they all the elite type you want? If you think that, I suggest watching Salford instead of us this season. Forest have responded to their manager's wishes and done it speedily. The same cannot be said of our comedy duo - no matter what way you try to spin it
And sell them for kidneys!
what you saying brownie? You can always have some fun making more kids if necessary.
yes whats the point of betting a kidney just to get a new one? what would you do with it? ebay?
50 quid is a lot of money where I come from. You must be certain. Doubt eliminated!
Bet it on us signing another Dutch player in the summer. Kidneys galore
