So it’s not actually whoever runs that account reporting these things. They’re quoting Sport there who literally seem to change their story on a daily basis. One day they say he’s coming here, the next to United. So anything they say should be taken with a huge pinch of salt. Still maintain that of the 3 options (stay at Barca, go to United, go to Chelsea) we are the least likely because we aren’t desperate for him. United’s entire season and perhaps Ten Hag’s entire United career depend on them getting him in order to implement his style. So they’ll be offering him whatever wage he demands. We ain’t paying him £400k a week. I have never had any significant level of confidence that FDJ is coming here I am by no means writing it off, but I certainly never got any 'hey, this is happening for real' vibes Pizy and bigbluewillie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallagher, Ruben, and Chukwuemeka can be used as CM depth. Sterling, Broja, Havertz, Pulisic, and Ziyech for attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that we can't identify or can't attract a player in a different position of need should only affect that decision if the club can only afford one or the other. I don't get the impression that this is the case. Do you? The guiding principle has to be quality, quality, and patience in acquiring it. Collect top players and top players only. I understand that there are various opinions but from me De Jong is a top player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'm biased when saying there is no way De Jong would prefer United over us right now at this moment in time but the one leading the deal looks like Woodward's lost brother. If he chooses them over us it’s for several clear reasons. Playing under his former manager who is also Dutch, earning stratospheric wages that they’ll pay because they’re on their knees begging, and he walks straight into their first XI and is treated like their messiah since they’ve been crying about buying a top midfielder for years. To us Chelsea supporters it seems insane to choose the current United over us, but those things will clearly appeal to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,994 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Not even 10 mins into this game and Fofana has already nearly scored a brilliant goal and has made 3-4 great defensive challenges. We MUST sign him. He’s a monster already and will only get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's concerning. Especially if we really are planning to break the transfer record just to get him. Again, have to wonder why we aren't linked with other alternatives for CB.
