Why is everyone so excited tonight? Has there been a development? Or is everyone just hard over him liking Dalot post?

Some Spanish journo who's a bit credible has claimed that we have made a offer and the transfer isnt final but its very close.
 



So the thread title specifically says stop posting fake stuff, and we have an account of a guy with 500 odd followers, who looks about 10 years old basically doing the Reddit ITK bit?!
 
Yes, i do.

And why? Because they need their posterboys to sell shirts. Simple as that. You just can't put Phil Jones on a billboard on Times Square.
Oh yeah forgot how big of a star Frenkie De Jong is. He's not Nike's poster boy or anything,he just had his breakout season

Second of all they have him on contract, he wears their merch and is paid to do so. Do you want me to believe that Nike are paying a huge chunk of his 16 million a year contract plus millions for his contract. Do you think he'll sell shirts worth 10-15 million?

Also PSG's kits are Nike too. Why would it matter to Nike if he goes to Barca?
For me, it's simple. Barca wanted the world to think they aren't paying him those ridiculous wages, so they made up this deal. Pretty good idea if you ask me, we should do the same, helps keep the wage structure under control

If this miracle happens, yes it will be a miracle, considering all the transfer muppet shite we've been through the last six seven seasons, they better not stop here....we need more!
 
Too good to be true, this. De Ligt is exactly what we need.

You know what they say about this....

We have some 500 or so twitter nobodies, and a tier 5 journalist "Jonathan Giaver", and we're meant to believe that the Barcelona who pay Messi a £1m a week, will be blown out of the water by..erm us.
 
Why? We ain't signing him so there's nothing to take :lol:

The disbelief, the hope, then you feel it in your bones he’s a united player, dream of him in the red, dominating opponents and then wake up to find he’s signed for Chelsea/Bayern.

Can’t do it again.

I meant to quote just the 2nd tweet actually
 
they left out the next bit when De Jong answers the same question:

De Jong "I'd go for spain"

De Ligt: "Yeah, Spain? the lazy life, bit of sun, bit of tapas..."

De Jong: "yeah exactly, and I think the Spanish league is of higher level than the English"

De Ligt: "hmm yeah, yeah that's allowed. You've obviously played in both so you'd know which is better..."

De Jong: "hah no but when I see it on tv I find the Spanish competition looks a lot better, you? you don't, do you?"

De Ligt: "Well.. I have to say I don't really watch much of the Spanish league if i'm honest"

De Jong: "that's too bad"

(all said with laughs and smiles)

So he really is a big fan of the PL! Muppet wants to explode.
 
His girlfriend should persuade him to come here, she’d have nothing to worry about in Manchester. Unless women stumbling out of nightclubs barefoot whilst puking in a handbag is what floats his boat

Come on Matthijs, you might even meet the girl of your dreams as she stumbling out of a nightclub with no shoes and puking into her handbag. There’s lots to offer in Manchester

Yeah we got it when you posted it yesterday.
 
:lol:

Best time of the year

I just love the idea that we'd be skilful enough to pull this off in May, beating Barcelona!

Maybe wading in late July with an insane offer, having bungled a few things up, but late May? Come on, that's teams with excellent skills
 
Barca losing 2-0, the cnuts are going to Santander first thing in the morning for a new loan.

What have we been through?

Our fans just don’t fancy our club. We have landed Pogba ahead of Real, Mkhitaryan ahead of Arsenal, Dalot ahead of everybody, Fred ahead of City, Sanchez ahead of City, Van Persie ahead of City, Lukaku ahead of Chelsea, Shaw ahead of Chelsea.

Still this rhetoric of ‘I can’t get excited as it always ends in disappointment’ is being spun. We’ve won our fair share of transfer tussles of late.
 
If any Liverpool or city fans are reading this thread I bet they are pissing themselves, some people here believe anything from shite unproven jurnos

We like a long drawn out affair, mate. Just like we love to win European Cups in a grand manor, it’s the same with our signings.
 
Just need someone to find a picture of him wearing a Wes Brown shirt on his fifth birthday and I'll be converted to the muppet side!
 
How on earth have these dumb ass ITKs gained credence on the CAF this year?

Non tournament summer.
Guarantee that we're going big on signings due to appalling previous season.

It's the absolute opposite of last summer, and we need it to be the opposite result too come Aug 1st!
 
This is it lads. It’s in the bag. Name on the trophy. Who will sir Ed deliver next?
