It’s almost official. De Ligt the first of many big names we’re led to believe we could sign and ultimately don’t. It’s going to be a long summer again.

That's what happens when you are a Europa league team.
 
Simon Stone, one of the best there is, knows nothing so that means our muppet eggs go into the same basket it was in yesterday.
 
That’s not a brief, journal are essentially going with what they think will happen (it’s not an entirely wrong line of thought considering the past).

This is still donkey kong!!

:devil::devil::devil:
 
Should someone tell the idiot that Stone did not say anything.
Exactly, all Stone did was give an opinion on what he believes is happening, but he can't say for sure as United are keeping their mouths shut about it.

The thing is, if there was absolutely nothing in this at all (not saying there is though), wouldn't United have come out and briefed properly? I don't buy into this whole "we won't say anything because we don't want to appear that we're not after the best players" crap.
 
So Spoofex (I'm thinking this name should tell me something but I can't quite put my finger on it) originally claimed to have insider knowledge but now it appears he's just following the tweets like everyone else. In which case Stone is really the only credible source so far whose news can hardly be described as positive.

Its not a bad thing to be after the best players in the world. We are not alone in the market for these players. We will win some and we will have bad luck with some. This is not something we need to hide and I don’t think we will. It would be worse if we didn’t try making these types of transfers.

:lol:
 
Imagine being a Barca fan and having Messi. Then imagine getting two more world class players for a decade. They must be spoiled beyond belief.

Rac1 are quite reputable to be fair.
 
Just stop doing this to yourselves. Focus on something else instead of getting dragged in to the whole clickbait circus. Journalists are literally fecking with you for clicks.

Signings will be announced when they happen.
 
first muppet heartbreak of the summer. Probably won't be the last one :(

There is no heartbreak ffs :lol: literally nothing has been confirmed. Save true elation or disappointment when something definitive comes out.
