Their desperation was always likely to win out over us.

Must be said, United going from arguably the worst midfield in the league with McTominay and Fred to De Jong and Rabiot is a gigantic upgrade. Annoying bastards.

that account is bullshit though, they pish so many rumours that turn out to be lies

barca and real fanbois and the dodgy 'journo' accounts that suck barca and real cock are the biggest liars on the planet for footie

the Trumps of football

I trust them as far as I could toss our car

they claim EVERY possible outcome, then go back and claim prescience when one of their hundreds of claims comes through. all whilst utterly ignoring or denying their myriad number of lies

ManagingBarca is just an aggregator of actual reports I think, right? 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.

What do we need more. A midfielder like de jong? Or a striker or a winger like sterling ? 🤔

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

Given Kovacic and Kante visit the hospital bed more frequently than their own homes, I say CM. 

I personally think Fofana will be enough though. Gallagher, Ruben, and Chukwuemeka can be used as CM depth. Sterling, Broja, Havertz, Pulisic, and Ziyech for attack.

 He really is a complete clown if he lets him go to United at this point. 

Sorry. There is only one clown here that chooses United over us.

I say if a player is available in a position of need who fits our profile, including of course his age and his qualities, then we take him. 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.
