Frenkie De Jong, not a rumour but apparently for sale

I think it's for van de Beek's wedding.

No wedding for Van de Beek especially not when Utd have a mid week fixture.  But what reason would someone leak false information on Frenkies reason for being in London? Smokescreen?

Barca's next 4 fixtures are brutal and back to back. It's understandable that they get a short vacation before that happens

Maybe to minimize the amount of fans/reporters hounding them

 
Just in London to troll us and United, nicely played Frenkie.

 We signed 2 youngsters for about 40M, yet Tuchel did not take into account of them with that comment about only 2 fit players.

To be fair to TT, if you'd watched Chukwuemeka's performances in the development squad so far, you would discount him too. As for Casadei, he's never played a senior game before, even in Italy ! 

 
Get ready for more tedious…

Chelsea have offered a £15.4m net salary to De Jong to join Chelsea. (@gerardromero via @ManagingBarca)

The proposal was made in the last few hours to Frenkie. (@gerardromero) #CFC

Justice for Uncle Harry

 
I'm guessing this deal was done when Todd & Laporta shared a meal a little over 7 weeks ago.  Just wanted to keep us in supense till Thursday.

Him being in London means they can drag these rumours about for a few more days. He will still be a Barca player on Friday.

Yes. I'll be shocked if this one happens. We clearly haven't prioritized midfield, and Tuchel's post-match comments make that pretty clear as he seems surprised and frustrated by the injuries we have in that area.

He cannot be surprised. Frustrated sure, but surprised. Is anyone on here surprised by Kova and Kante already having injury problems? Anyone? 

Nope, I cannot see an astute manager like TT being surprised by that.

Far as FDJ goes, does anyone seriously believe we have waited till now to offer him such terms? Not like his situation at Barca is any different from 2 months ago.

 
You know thinking about it @forbzy I would not be surprised if that Gerard bloke tweeted that so he could later tweet how FDJ turned down such money and took a pay cut to stay at at mighty Barca.

If we did make an offer, it was probably for a lot less. Gerrard Romero enjoys taking the piss.

How much longer before my dreams are officially crushed? Do we have until midnight on the 31st? Or the 1st?

 
I know that he would have been ideal for us. But it became so obvious that he personally doesn't want to come here, why can't we just move on and sign someone else for 70m? I'm sure you can find a DM for that money elsewhere that is quality.
