Nah it's over. FDJ would already be here by now. We want him and the club wanted him to leave and it still hasn't happened. It's not just the wages. We've have probably covered that for him by now too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If we'd have covered the wages we'd have been called mugs. I'm happy we haven't to be honest. We can kind of afford to see if Barca blink now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If FDJ deal is still on....why did we wait till 3rd PL game to sign Casemiro??? Makes no sense to me. He'd have been signed weeks ago surely?

It's clearly because we have moved on to a new target.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It could be because Casemiro wasn't seen as a viable target until Real gave the go ahead to letting him go? You could well be right but I'm thinking there's a final twist here. Expect De Jong to be linked to City and LFC this week to try and force our hand.

Thought playing CL football was the most important thing for Ronaldo?

Plenty of teams in the competition would have him if he was willing to accept the going rate for someone his age and current playing level.

Current playing level is 24 goals last season in a shiiite team, he will score goals wherever he goes and far more than Marshall will for us

His ego has taken a battering. He probably thought good CL clubs would want him.

I’m sure top clubs will be chomping at the bit to sign him then. Oh.

If he can’t get a CL club then what does he want? Maybe he should have taken that Middle Eastern offer.

I don’t think of it as ‘Ronaldo vs Martial’ in a goals comparison.

For this season I think of it as ‘The team with Ronaldo as the focal point vs The team without Ronaldo as the focal point’ whether that’s Martial or not.

I think we’ll score more and play better in the latter, as well as being able to look forward and build better.

I hope he goes now, for his and our sake. He should lower his wage demands if he wants CL football unless Chelsea fail to get Auba.

We agreed a fee with Barca, the issue is the deferred wage which I guess we are unwilling to pay for whatever reason?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That and him not wanting to come. Do you think he would have chosen us over Chelsea? I don't. And the media certainly didn't think so either.

So basically, he saw us as a back up if Barca forced him out the door and nobody with CL football wanted him. That's not a back up option so much as having no alternative
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Who would you expect to know more about where he wants to go? Some of the media or ETH?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking at the end of the result, the media. ETH has got this one wrong, plain and simple

Window is still open.

It's well and truly closed on FDJ. But by all means keep deluding yourself

Romano now saying Antony is United’s ‘main priority over any other target’.

Romano doesn’t know anything. Been wrong all summer.

I'm not deluding myselft. He might not be interested. But none of us know for sure because he's not said anyting. He's kept a dignified throughout

The Liverpool rumours are surfacing this morning...

FDJ to Liverpool actually makes a lot of sense tbh

It does. The cynic in me though thinks that this is just a ruse to get us to cough up. It'd be pretty embarrassing chasing a player and him turning up down the road!
