And, well, he really isn't that good. Nothing special.

Agreed, I think there will be a learning curve for the team pressing, and also for Ten Hag to figure out how to get what is needed out of these players.
The difference though between no Frenkie and a Frenkie is huge. Could be difference between CL and no CL.
He's too young to do a Gareth Bale. Barca are forcing him out, if he stays still it would be career suicide, things just won't go back to normal, he'll probably be banished to the bench or something.
Killing your career over 17m and a chance to live in Barcelona is beyond moronic.
I‘ve said this before: the FFP hammer is coming down hard for Barça. Do not despair Muppets.
Don’t blame the media, they’re pumping out the same stuff over and over again. Blame your mentalities for not being able to stay patient to the end
Walking on eggshells? He doesn't want to leave, he isn't going to come out and say the club are conning him when he wants to stay there. This saga is very tiring for all involved and it's the same thing being repeated over and over again. The 17mil owed keeps being parroted but the evidence thus far suggests Frenkie and his agents know they have no legal case and his main concern is staying at Barca.
He won't be benched because he refused to leave but he will face competition from Gavi/Kessie this season. Frenkie is a confident type though so I'm sure he backs himself.
Also, how is he killing his career? CL, strengthening heavily this summer, playing at his dream club, beautiful city with a chance at trophies. He'll make a lot more than 17million also on his current contract. The ball is firmly in his court. People keep believing everything these journalists write, big bad Barca are abusing Frenkie so why does he want to stay? Why do players still want to join that scummy club? Maybe because the media have no idea whats actually going on and like making up stories?
Barca leaked stories to their media to try force an exit as Frenkie 1. doesn't really have a place in the 433 midfield Xavi is looking for and 2. his wages break the new wage cap. ten Hag saw an opportunity to try and persuade the player to join United as the face of his new project. Xavi, Laporta, United and ten Hag are all working to find a solution aka him joining United but the player is digging his heels in as he's settled and has no reason to leave.
Barca would have to play him if he stays though, he'll be on too much to be exiled especially considering his quality.
At some point they'll have to sit down with him and negotiate something workable for all parties.
and was he been as successful in his new club as he was in the club he wanted to stay in ?
No.
But - it may be different for FdJ. He just wants his money from Barca before saying yes to the transfer. Can't believe he has said no directly to EtH.
Don't be a fool!
I’m that confident. I’ll be around forever. I’m inevitable.
Its done.
We need a mod to confirm this mistake?
@Berbaclass Are you considering going down the same route on your end?
I've been hurt before damnit!
Nobody is going to delete your account
Really? Nice of you to decide for usNobody is going to delete your account
Bullshit.
Surely, surely you guys wouldn't just delete someone's account for being a little foolish??
The progression on this has come to a halt, I hope we get some proper updates after the el classico match.
Accountability isn't valued by you, eh? Besides, a good muppet drama always comes with some casualties...
We've all said stupid things on here. Besides, we've had so many dramas on here there wouldn't be anyone left bar noobs.
McGinn? It'd be like ordering the Rib Of Beef and ending up with Taco Bell.
There's finally some meat on the Sacrificial Muppet Altar, and only Frenkie can prevent the seemingly inevitable. This is exciting!
Nobody is going to delete your account
If he signs, yours gets deleted. Deal.
Your attempted protection is admirable @Shakesey, but I’ve said it now. No Frenkie = No sewey.
I was sticking up for you buddy. Anyway, the Caf would hardly miss me. Someone else needs to bring balance.
Has Wesley Sneijder joined us yet?
Stop adding suicidal spice!I know.. just trying to spice this thread up tbh
@sewey89 doing what's best for the greater good, what an honorable muppet!
What's that about McGinn?
What's that about McGinn?
Where would you say this one ranks in all time Caf transfer saga threads?
We're trying, but don't think we can really compete with Chilevision and Nos venemos en Manchester
His name was used in a list of potential midfield options that would improve us. Thank god he fouled somebody in the game today so we can now focus on moral stuff instead of the actual intent behind the original point.
Tried to hack one of our kids in half. Muppets are offended.
I get what you’re saying but £35m doesn’t get you much these days. I bet they’d let him go for £50m and that would be doable. This is only if FDJ can’t be got of course. We can’t carry on with the midfield options we have at the club now.
Can we add a poll in to vote if you should be deleted or not?
I'd do it. They need to pay me in small, unmarked bills though. I've had my feelers out but some time but somehow no one wants a fat 60 year old two footed winger any more.
Any of the other muppets joining the bet? Some seem incredibly confident that it's 100% going to happen. Time to put your necks on the line.
Could do a mass clearout and have a yes/no poll, whichever gets it wrong gets deleted
