The scenes when Chelsea fans realize they have been taken for a ride on three of their potential summer transfers by Barca.
Go hard or go home
Thanks for letting us know.
You just couldn't write it could you? Three players, all close to joining Chelsea, all taken by Barca.
Really would explain as to why they refuse to sell Azpi and Alonso to Barca
the latest romero/aggregate tweet was they are meeting with Pique and Busquets agent to ask them to take paycuts or they are in big trouble. activate the 4th lever and then 5th lever - player organs.
Jokes on them, Barca don't need Alonso any more
Well if his bosses haven’t had the nous or balls to regularly ask him “are you sure about this?”, that doesn’t exactly put them in a good light.
LaPorta has gone for "Half rice...half chips" but asked just to pay for chips and have the cost of the prawn toasts backdated to 2025.
Messi is coming home!
Ooooh good call
Pretty fecking sure they’ve said on multiple occasions, “are you sure he wants to come Erik”.
Ducker! He’s reliable right? Right?!! Frenkie wants to come, he’s signing for us. Let’s fecking go!!!
Would you rather sign De Jong on deadline day, or sign a 2nd/3rd choice option a few weeks before? I'd rather De Jong..
Yeah i'd agree with that. They're not just going to ask once then not ask again. They'll regularly keep track on whats going on.
At the end of the day, i'm pretty sure they have any doubts, the board could pull the plug anyway, with or without ten hags permission
Erik looks like HE tells you when you can come...and only after "Maximum Effort!"
Just a word of warning for anyone thinking of following this. You will get banned from Tesco.
Surely it’s been them rather than Erik that have been talking to Frenkie’s agent though? Maybe he’s the one that wants Frenkie to leave, as he will get a hefty deal fee, and it’s him that’s been making the encouraging noises more than his client?
Ah. Fair enough. Hadn’t seen that
There is a line in Matt Law’s Cucurella article that they are trying to ‘hijack’ United’s protracted move for FDJ.
Please try to do better.
Doesn’t matter what the agent says does it? We had our 10 year retired manager on the blower to Ronaldo last Summer.
Erik can and will have spoken to his old player a few times during this saga.
It’s so short sighted to view it any other way IMO. Whoever we bring in will be an integral part of the squad for a couple years, at minimum, given they money we’ll spend to bring them in. Anyone wanting us to move on to a Neves/Tielemans should not be allowed to say anything regarding an underwhelming United midfield if we do indeed move on to one of those targets.
Have 0 faith in these clowns.
My recommendation is watch two girls one cup. That will clear that shit right up.
I see that you did there
Eth will have spoken to De Jong and the club him and his agent. United were given permission to do so upon agreeing the fee from memory.
We go Jong to the end muppets.
Subtlety is not my strong suit
He was quote tweeting the united stand
It’s got to be the agents of Messi they are with this evening. This whole situation with de jong and his agents doesn’t seem to be friendly, I wouldn’t imagine any talks would happen over dinner.
Laporta does everything over dinner.
They call him Mupporta for a reason.
Laportly
It really is the most bizarre transfer we’ll come across.
There are so many things that don’t add up to what is being reported. There’s reports that Utd are even willing to pay his deferred wages but it would be against rules/laws taxes blah blah. But the truth is it’s very easy to achieve. Utd simply put in a bid which is 17m more than the “agreed” price to cover the wages issue. It wouldn’t break any rules. It just means that’s the price both clubs agreed. But for some strange reason that hasn’t happened either. So right now feck knows.

It's the only reason he's buying and selling so many players this summer. Barca are actually fine financially.
FDJ would be competing against Jorginho/Kante/Kovacic. All the other midfielders are irrelevant other than being excess baggage as FDJ is better than all of them. So I still think it’s viable chelsea want him based on the fact Kante and Jorginho won’t be here next summer. Chelsea are probably trying to plan for the future as well as present.
