Pizy 19,325 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Like I said last night, if we genuinely want De Jong I feel like we have to move very quickly now. United were embarrassed yesterday and are in scrape the bottom of the barrel desperation mode in the market looking at names like Arnautovic and Rabiot. They’ll be at the point soon where they’ll be on their knees offering De Jong to write his own contract terms. If they don’t sort their midfield out this week they could be looking at an Arsenal of last season start where they go 0 points from their first 9 available. So if we want him it needs to be within the next couple of days. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To go balls to the wall signing 10 players when their wage situation is catastrophic is insane. Hopefully we can swoop in and take advantage with De Jong and perhaps one of their strikers. It looks like De Jong still has no more interest in leaving than Dembele did. Indeed, it's not unreasonable to suspect that he's in sympathy with Barcelona's plight and is willing to help them in every way, short of giving up the money he is owed or leaving the club. At the very least he seems ready to wait while Barca find and pull every lever they can think of. Edited August 8, 2022 by OhForAGreavsie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, the actual problem, I agree that has happened many, many times. 🙁 Ooooh what a mess ! What Marina ? I was talking about City's method of baiting him.

Unless Barca themselves tell him straight up that he HAS to go I think he will pull a Dembele in the end and reduce his salary. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Sky Sports reporting United have agreed a deal for Rabiot so I would assume they're moving on from De Jong now. I think De Jong would be an outstanding signing if we could get him and really answers a lot of question marks over the makeup of our midfield from next season onwards with Jorginho's and Kante's contracts expiring. However I don't think it's a position we should force a move. There may be some excellent options come up on the market next summer, namely Bellingham and Rice who we could look to position ourselves to try and buy. So for me this summer it's De Jong or no one in midfield, and as a result we're in a position really where we can wait it out and see whether Barca try to force him out or not.

Pizy 19,325 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Getting Werner, Lukaku, Barkley, Kepa, and CHO out in one summer would be crazy. Ziyech and RLC links have died, unfortunately. And I wish they were all permanent instead of mostly loans. I’d upgrade Pulisic if given the chance as well but that’s probably too much turnover at once.

whats happening 1,667 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 if we get de jong and fofana i seriously doubt that we are paying big money for a forward too. one year loan for aubameyang would be ok. zaha is meh, and not good enough.

As things stand, there isn't any agreement between Juventus and United for Adrien Rabiot. Both clubs are still talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,325 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 If Rabiot is their alternative to De Jong rather than someone they want in addition to De Jong then they’re even more incompetent than I thought they were. I simply can’t believe that’s the case. They surely want both. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,830 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Rabiot LOL, plus Arnautovic is laughable, no wonder their fans are going mental. We must keep pushing on De Jong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
