    This is the first thing I've posted here that I'm sceptical about. The others I'm pretty confident come from people who actually have good sources given their track record of getting stuff right.

    One of the two guys got every one of our transfers last summer right (+ the kohler sponsorship) way before the press, and they knew announcement times and stuff as well.

    I’d be v surprised if De Ligt chose United over barcelona. He’s a smart, mature dude, he knows it’s not the move

    Speaking of money in football I did enjoy the La Liga president or whatever moaning about City and PSG being state-funded as if he doesn't know what fucking country he's running football in.

    Assuming he chooses us, it's largely because of the money.

    £240k a week apparently

    There must be some appeal beyond the money, like being an instant starter and not having to live in a Catholic country. He's nineteen and seems like a decent sort.

    All the news i’m reading is about a United offer, nowhere have I seen that’s he’s considering that offer, much less that he’s accepted.

    I give it a 5% chance of happening.

    There are probably only a finite number of realistic destinations he could go to, I guess PSG are probably struggling with FFP, as maybe are City (although they could do with him, assuming he's good), centre-half is the least of Real Madrid's worries and if Barcelona aren't going to stump up Raiola's fee then that probably only leaves United where mega-money will be on offer, and he has to move this summer, as he's at peak prospect level right now.

    The guy confidently declared last summer we were signing Diego Dalot and Lee fucking Grant before it was anywhere in the media. Those would be some guesses.

    What's the argument? The guy has accurately announced every single one of our transfers in advance for a year and has never said "this is happening" and it hasn't happened.

    He's either getting information or he's a wizard.

    The De Ligt stuff didn't come from him but he's since said that Barca had it all but done but we've since had a bid accepted by Ajax and made an absolutely bonkers contract offer to De Ligt.

    Quite possibly, and the guy had never said he will choose Utd over Barcelona.

    That's what they do in general, leave on a knive edge so that they can say they told you so either way.

    Last year he only posted when stuff was 100% done and was right every time. This year he has also given some stuff about what's happening but isn't a confirmed transfer.

    The only 100% thing he's said this year is that Dan James is done and only delayed by the death of his dad. He called that before any of the papers. Guarantee he joins us.

    I think one thing that doesn't seem to have been considered is the actual transfer fee. I haven't seen any numbers thrown about, but United can pay more than Barcelona, so what if Ajax only accept one offer that the latter won't match? He could always refuse to leave, but that goes back to an earlier post. He probably will go to Barcelona, but I don't think it's quite like lol moves in the past for Sergio Ramos and that.

    Really? Christ, I thought it was c.£60m (ie less than De Jong) and Ajax were happy with that (until someone bowls in with 50% more I guess).

    That's a lot. But that's what I mean. If that raises the stakes beyond what Barcelona probably expected to pay (or are able to pay if they are re-building a bit), you could see how United might tempt him. Although if they can out-do on transfer fees it makes you wonder why they have to then offer him the wages they are talking about. He must be on about fifty quid a week at the moment.

    Sounds like Barca can afford the fee but not wages.

    Their wage bill by all accounts is absolutely fucking insane.

    Just because united are interested it doesn't mean it'll happen. Like a few years back when I posted about Ramos. It didn't mean it was untrue because he didn't sign the contract.

    Apparently Lyon have said there will likely be 3 big sales this summer. Fekir is one going, with the other 2 rumoured to be Depay and Ndombele.

    I hope the former of those goes somewhere soon. Could do without a summer full of rumours of Liverpool going back in for him.
