Frenkie De Jong to United 95% done!

Wouldn’t be a bad outcome

That would be superb.

Silva has wanted to leave for ages. He told someone I know that he is not enjoying the football there. He said it all well and good winning trophies but the training sessions and build up to games were too mentally intense because of Guardiolo's need for perfection and that the joy had been drained out of the football.

Cheeky bid?…

Sort this one way or the other this week. If we’re not moving on anyone else until this is done and he apparently wants five players, might be an idea to get a move on seeing as pre season starts next week.

What a great idea!

"Preparing a bid..."

*Shuffling the papers for the fax machine*

10-12m apart in valuation apparently.



If only there was an extra 11m lying around somewhere......

From the outside looking in, nothing has really changed.

Too big and slow to react fast enough in the market.

What do you think the preparing consists of?

In reckon it’s slapping their thighs and going ‘right then’ before opening their laptop.

Probably City wumming Utd (again) into forking out another hundred-odd million.

%@#$&!s innit? Richard "Rich" Arnold giving it the old "our reps are in Barcelona, working from 10am to 6pm on the Frenkie deal"... yeah right mate.

De Jong, Anthony, Eriksen, Torres and Martinez would be some window….

Can Arnie pull it off?

If he wants training sessions run like a tiny tots group, the option to disappear off on holiday whenever and zero expectation of success then I know just the club.

Or at least I did.

No chance we get that lot without selling several @#%&!s.

Aren’t the dividends paid this weekend? Got a feeling they’re waiting for them to go out and then they’ll start bidding and signing. Naturally players who they could have got cheaper will be gone and the club will fee the squeeze a bit more as selling clubs know they’re a bit desperate to sign so they can hike up the price.

This will probably get done but it will be draw out for another week or two. They will also end up playing closer to Barcelonas value than uniteds own.

It absolutely reeks of Fabregas this, history repeating

Also on £290k per week apparently.
