Barca are not as special as they seem to think. They only started to become much more relevant since Ronaldinho signed and then Pep came in. Can't wait for them to fall off into obscurity.

Monday? I'm not the believing type, but have some faith man... it'll be 1000 by tonight!
How about thread-marking every day with "no updates" ?
They got very lucky with a class of academy players. It happens once every few generations.
Ronaldo (the original one), rivaldo, figo and kluivert were there before ronaldinho, not to mention maradona, romario, cruyff before them.
Yep it looks like that’s what’s happened. They didn’t just agree to defer wages by word. They signed a bloody contract so the payments they are owed over the past 2 years gets paid to them over the course of the next 4-5 years depending on their contract.
Just use the live feed and you won’t have to venture into this thread to see if there’s updates
Need him urgently. Fred cannot play the de Jong role. You need someone immense under pressure for that, and he’s too unreliable.
Frenkie is sad 
great title update
great title updateSigh.
Forlorn Frenkie… poor chap just needs 17m shoved in his bank account and all will be well again.
I mean they won the CL/EC for the first time in 1992 then not again until 2005, and from 1960 to 1990 they had only won the league 3 times. They were no where near as relevant for a long time so I don't understand why they seem to think they are this special club above every other fecker.
This +1. I thought this as well.
Not having an alternative to him is bonkers. We have nothing in midfield. Absolutely nothing apart from Fred (and maybe Eriksen but who knows where he will play).

Why de jong face Frenkie.
Try to make a Barcelona all-time xi without leaving someone too important or good out and you see!
The swipe surge? What does he mean by that, or am i missing something obvious?
Well he did get recently engaged…

I think what he was trying to point out was they did nothing in Europe, as only one from that list won the CL while playing at Barca and that was Ronaldinho and the fat one (Ronaldo) ran out of there after one season to their rivals, Maradona ran to Italy after 2 seasons, so yes the "holy trinity" is right in saying they only became a thing from 06 and even as good (not as good as AC Milian 89 -early 90s) as Peps barca were, they never looked like doing a Real three in a row.
It's a Tinder joke, isn't it?
They were quite clearly a famous an beloved club before that. I had a Barca shirt from the Romario and Stoichkov era when I was a kid… but they werent as successful, no. Which itself should actually help rubbish the weird claim that they need to be constantly competing for the League & CL in order to remain relevant. As they weren’t doing that even with the likes of Maradona & Fat Ronaldo playing for them.
Underrated.
Makes it even weirder that some are happy to wait until deadline day for him.
I wish we just gave a hard deadline end of next week or something and stick to it then go for alternatives if he doesn’t sign. The ETH/Board looking like real amateurs here, our season is about to start and we don’t have the midfielders we needed for ages now.
Not really? When the alternatives are freaking Neves and Tielemans then getting Frenkie on deadline day will be a huge success.
Are some in here actually saying 'everything is fine' with Barcelona and their finances? Oh dear
I very much agree about the moaning at barca being misdirected. The only reason we are in with a chance of signing him is to do with barcas financial position anyway
Only thing I disagree with is that barca will be definitely be find. Selling of proportions of their future income is a risk
Some dude named Robert from some village in Iraq, I think
We live in a crazy MMT world. It’ll all come to a head. And it won’t be pretty.
Robert Lewandowski?
The whole point is there is a f
good chance we won't get fdj. There are also other midfielders available other than tielemens or neves
Very good
No idea, never used it. Think the girlfriend would be very annoyed if i did haha
