Frenkie de Jong | The last muppeting lap

[sglowrider]

Love island Barca edition.

 

[peridigm]

Apparently, the wages aren't actually owed legally or contractually but more morally. They didn't just payed FDJ less money than it was initially agreed, they altered the contract (or made a new one) that lowered FDJs wages for a certain time while increases it for the time later.

So if it increases in the later years which is what has been reported, this would be contractually wouldn't it? I think the sticking point is that if he leaves, he's breaking that contract and they are not obligated to pay his deferred wages which is morally back handed but I think Barca knew exactly what they were doing when they negotiated the deferred wages.

I meant to type Dalot wires crossed

Makes a lot more sense!

 

[Plant0x84]

Oh, the wistful fluttering of innocence no more. Two women and cup have soiled my day. But, lo, I shall forget. Even if it's the last thing I do.

 

[Shakesy]

The memory fades but you never truly forget.

Good. You have started to bury the bad memories with drink.

Oh you know

Google always knows.

Let's never talk of this again.

 

[Fanta Stick]

As I understand it they cannot simply change it for one person, if it’s salary for example it must be done consistently for the whole group with everyone in agreement

My simplistic understanding is the justification for the salary reduction must fall within at least one of following reasons: Competition, productivity, or technical or labour organization.

Barcelona's reason is purely financial so that doesn't give them justification. Especially when they have gone on another shopping spree while talking about salary reductions.

 

[MalBot]

I see Coutinho has permanently moved now though, Griezmann I assume Atletico are picking up the wages?

Yeah that is what has been reported.

Typical Barca though, they managed to get rid of Coutinho's and Griezmann's salaries of their huge wage bill...only to try to do same again.

Yeah, she summed it all up

I also thought I would forget when I first saw it ten years ago, but here we are. Alas what is seen can never be unseen.

 

[Fanta Stick]

Let's never talk of this again.

Agreed. (barf emoji)

 

[JJ12]

I despise the transfer window. I can’t helped be sucked in.

We are really thin in quality so doesn’t help.

Good point

 

[Becks_VII]

The meeting will go something like this id imagine

It was you, ya bastard! You started all of this!

 

[Blood Mage]

The natural end to this saga will be that he joins, is underwhelming and gets benched by McTominay.

 

[Fanta Stick]

It was you, ya bastard! You started all of this!

Did you know that there is an even worse one out there?

I refuse to speak of it though.

 

[Withnail]

Agreed. (barf emoji)

I always reckoned it was fake poop anyway.

 

[Fanta Stick]

I always reckoned it was fake poop anyway.

I think we desperately need to believe that.

 

[golden_blunder]

No, the natural conclusion is that we sign him and I get to boot out all the real doomers

 

[Blood Mage]

No, the natural conclusion is that we sign him and I get to boot out all the real doomers

I'll happily accept the boot as I want him to join also.

 

[Compton22]

 

[El-Manos]

They’re gas.

 

[hellhunter]

[hellhunter]

They’re gas.

Not today, mate

 

[Red the Bear]

As if he did so beforehand.

 

[Withnail]

Well well well

 

[MDFC Manager]

Muppets, we're in the endgame now.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Lads, it's Sport

 

[Fanta Stick]

They just use a tombola machine to generate the next update.

 

[hellhunter]

Lads, it's Sport

The best paper of August 1st 2022?

 

[Judas]

Sport has instantly become Tier 0 to me. The best of the best.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Sport must be loving the clicks they're getting from Man Utd supporters this summer.

What happened to the calls to ban it

 

[Chairman Steve]

Call me crazy but I think he probably has been content with joining United for longer than the Barcelona mouthpiece say

And how convenient this is now happening after Barcelona spent a ton on players!

 

[hellhunter]

What happened to the calls to ban it

Totally yesterday's news, they changed

 

[Plant0x84]

He never was but all the same.

 

[dove]

Now suddenly sport became reliable again

 

[MDFC Manager]

The best paper of August 1st 2022?

Comfortably. Hopefully they won't let that go to their heads though

 

[Godfather]

Got excited for a second. Then I saw it was Sport ffs.

 

[RyRy11]

Never doubted Sport or any of their journalists.
