    Claims that weren't plucked from social media!

    Where they came from though, no one knows.

    I dont question the validity of United enquiring, I trust it.
    Whether Jackson is up for it is another matter.
    Jackson is currently at a CL club, but he might be thinking, "Will I play?" he is probably going to be third in the pecking order now behind Pedro and Delap.
    He is on 100k a year and United like to offer mediocre players who may or may not work stupid amounts of money, so that might turn his head

    It does seem a bit far fetched. He’s probably an upgrade on what they’ve got but still not all that for £70m or whatever silly number it would need. Whereas I kind of could see him at Villa with Watkins at United. Though I doubt that’ll happen either and Villa are meant to be skint. Newcastle maybe when that bloke they want goes to Liverpool.

    How do you know United enquired bro, did Sucky tell you?

    Maybe he needs to put his arse in gear and challenge for a place at Chelsea, but I get the impression he's like most of the squad from last season, lazy and selfish, although I saw good improvements in the CWC final, so there is hope for Chelsea yet.

    Exactly and who was missing from our XI in the final? Jackson!
    Nah, I get info from lots of sources.

    But just to put my money where my mouth is, I just popped on X, and saw this.....
    https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1945571350455652573?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^tweet

    That Romano guy normally has the inside scoop.
    He didnt name United and Villa specifically granted, but he stated that premier league clubs have enquired.
    I didnt realise Sucky had already said this btw, if he has.

    On a side note, as I dont use X, can someone tell me how you post excerpts from X posts on here? I just tried and cant figure out how to do it

    Ah I see, from social media then. <ok>

    No worries mate.

    But I have a long line of experience that tells me the only outlet I'll ever believe is when the signing is made, it's just noise otherwise.

    You make me laugh mate, you say you don't do social media then go straight on X <laugh>

    I've seen that guy a few times for some reason, I'm guessing Sucky must post him up.

    25M followers is quite impressive, Sports Journalist and Influnecer also contributes to the Guardian, seems to have a network of knowledge - think I might add to his 25 million followers, purely for observational purposes of course and translating the **** you and Sucky talk about <whistle>

    Can't even remember what we were actually chatting **** about now. :cheesy:

    Well yeah the only time I would say the signing is a deffo is when it is made, obviously, thats why I didnt say it was a done deal, only that there have been enquiries

    Well I went on X to see if it was on there too, I typed "Jackson Man United X" because you guys said it was on there.
    I dont go on X, I couldnt see any of the replies because I dont have an X account.
    I get my info from sports journalists, mainly, I have a couple of friends who work at publications and hear ****.
    Not always 100% fact, but am just trying to stoke some debate and convo on here for pete's sake!!

    I didn't say it was on there bro, but I know what you meant. This is all very desperate stuff Bod, but it's given me a laugh.

    Anyway if Chelsea can play like they did in the CWC I hope Jackson does go missing more often.

    I wouldnt say I was desperate for United to buy Jackson, and certainly not enough to go on a forum I have been visiting for 14 years and make **** up about it <laugh>
    Christ this is like being back at school.

    I remember having a week long argument with one of my mates because I told him pigs has cork screw shaped dicks and he wouldnt have it, we eventually had to get our science teacher to settle it and prove me right, shout out Mr Godber.

    I used to use this image sometimes when Kustard said something particularly thick.

    There were some instances that really cemented his reputation.

    Poor Richard Beckinsale died far too young and never got to see how unbelievably leng his daughter would grow up to be.
