Would be hilarious tbh. Imagine Leandowski and Raphinha basically playing no football in a World Cup year
I think this is where the sell 50 percent of their BLM rights as a last resort which really fecks up their medium to long term future.
I came for Franklin but stayed for Hoof The Ball.
Imagine all the bribes on FdJs account from clubs all over Europe to convince him to stay put!

Isn't that what everyone is doing in this thread?
BLM? I can't read that as anything but Black Lives Matter these days, it's been drummed into me. What does BLM stand for in Barcelona terms?

It’s like the emptying of an apartment and having a quick last look around before handing the keys over.

Omg Frenkie must be getting some serious death stares in his direction

So basically this needs to be resolved by 14th August otherwise those two won’t be able to play in the first match of season
hang in their frenkie, keep the deckers sweating until they agree to pay it all!!
I agree
But we’re just moving everything to let the cleaners do a spring clean before we put all the furniture back with FDJ sat on the sofaI agree
+ Kounde
The thread title stripdown makes me wanna ring the bell

Barcelona Levers Matter
Now I’m missing the BS sport articles which was the thread title centre piece
Well put
I'm doing exactly that this afternoon and it is indeed a similar feeling. I should sneak in an FDJ poster somewhere for the new owner.
Right before having one last wank in the airing cupboard.
Very good.
And at which point did I say Chelsea are winning the league? The state of reading comprehension in this country. Even included a “dummy disclaimer” specifically highlighting that’s not what I was saying. ‘kin hell.

Barca fans will really turn on Frenkie if they can't have their shiny new toys.
Next thread title update will read:
"Fabrizio: HERE WE GO!"
"Fabrizio: HERE WE GO!"
That is my understanding as well.
United wanted de Jong. de Jong didn't want United (=personal terms not agreed), we might be still interested but not pushing it.
Barca seems to be putting pressure, to put it mildly, on Frankie to make him leave.
It's between FDJ and Barca, he's not coming to us surely though.

I still dont believe this.... I dont believe that such a big club can have their entire season held ransom to 17m
But who is briefing this to the press?
Romano has constantly said ideally wants to stay though whereas have only heard that from Mitten on Utd side of things
They won't be held ransom for it. But clearly Frenkie is not in their plans so they are trying to alienate him as much as possible by playing him as a backup CB to make sure he will take any offers to play elsewhere.
Not having to pay what they owe him will be seen as a bonus for them.
Where's the confidence coming from

They can play in the CL group stages
Yeah they seemingly have no intention of paying him what is rightfully his
I would be amazed if Barca don't have some scummy plan that allows them to register the players they can't afford.
Yeah none of them reliable on Utd
You’re right. We’re shite, all hope is lost. We should just forfeit the season. Why would we even bother
Even if Barca can’t register the players until de Jong leaves. That still doesn’t change the fact he doesn’t want to join us. He may leave for Chelsea or someone els.
You believing it or not is not really the point. La Liga sets a hard salary cap based on revenues and right now Barca are miles over. Last season the same issue was ultimately why Messi was not re-signed, even had they found the money to pay him he could not have played in the league due to the salary cap issue. In this case Barca have gone on a spending spree on the assumption that they can reduce their wage bill by selling unwanted players to fit the new signings into the cap but as of right now their current squad are showing little inclination to move on. FDJ has always been the ideal departure simply because the way his deferred money was pushed forward means his salary for the next few years is massive in comparison to just about everyone else and so his sale alone would give them room to fit Lewa, Raphina and potentially Kounde into the cap.
It's not £17m. They owe him £17m in wages they haven't paid but they also have to continue paying his full £350k+ per week wages until his contract expires in 4 years or until he agrees to move somewhere else. In La Liga they have a wage cap and until they get their squad wages under the cap they can't register new players.
I don’t see why taking a pay cut to stay there is even an option. He knows they want him out, there’s no way he’s going to take a pay cut to stay there when he can get paid his full wages without doing a thing.
That is not a fact, simply a narrative pushed by sections of the Spanish media. Frenkie has never at any point said anything about United one way or another.
You said Chelsea are more likely to win the league when, spoiler alert, they aren’t. The likelihood of either happening are very similar, as I said. These are the harsh realities whether you can read them or not.
Can you offer any proof of that, some that isn't from Sport or some random Spanish guy
No matter what the rules and regulations say, I can absolutely guarantee you Barca will have Lewa and Raphina registered and playing for them.
It doesn’t matter what obstacle lays in front of them, Barca will use every corrupt unethical mindless goatfecking feckery to get out of any situation.

Good point. This is why they will have to pay him off with some kind of a lump sum if they want to get him off the books. They've lots of levers but no leverage at all apart from making things uncomfortable for him. It's also the only reason I can see for playing him at CB.
