Couldn't have memed it better
They have said the evidence is against Bartomeu basically but FDJ and his entourage could be implicated too, I guess simply by agreeing and signing the contract. Seems bully tactics to get him to comply with their demands to be honest!I'm confused by the court action thing. I don't have a subscription to the Athletic but how would any of that be De Jong's fault? Shouldn't the current Barcelona brain trust take this up with the former Barcelona brain trust who made that deal.
Maybe they're doing that.
Seems they still want him to reduce his contract or leave.
I'm still confident that Barca will cave and give him his money., and he'll come here. No sane person on earth would want to stay there if much of what has been reported is true. Such a scummy club.
How can Frenkie want to stay at the club that's treated him how they have this summer transfer window?
That's what I've been thinking throughout this whole saga. Unless the "I'm staying" stance is just a tactic employed by his agents to let Barca know he won't leave without his money.

Most likely case and has been mentioned before he may be forfeiting loyalty monies if he were to start communicating with other clubs.That's what I've been thinking throughout this whole saga.

What of today's news confirmed that for you?
That’s what money is for. We are the disgusting, unkempt, slob at the brothel waving our cash under Frenkie’s nose. It was always going to be about money. The old joke: we have established what you are, now we’re simply negotiating a price.They pursued someone who had 0 intention of coming to Manutd.
Its like going after a girl who doesn't want to be with you. Quite clear who the fool is here.
I think thats the general concensus at the moment.
If he says he wants to leave, Barca might use that against him and and make him forgoe his wages/bonuses etc as they'd see it as a transfer request so to speak. Though thats just what i think
Considering we're not signing Sesko and using that money to buy Rabiot/that Argentinian midfielder, the same as this morningHows that news looking now?
He will stay or go to Chelsea he is not coming here. He made a fool out of ETH and I think Ten Hag has come to realise it. Most on here still havent.

He isn't that kind of person.He will stay or go to Chelsea he is not coming here. He made a fool out of ETH and I think Ten Hag has come to realise it. Most on here still havent.
Whilst United are still in, they obviously still believe there is a chance.He will stay or go to Chelsea he is not coming here. He made a fool out of ETH and I think Ten Hag has come to realise it. Most on here still havent.
Hmm, from Barcelona's perspective, any actions regarding malfeasance should be taken against the former directors. Was FDJ and his team responsible for keeping Barcelona from signing a "bad" contract?
Moreso, even if it was illegal, isn't he still entitled to that money having performed under the terms of the contract?
Barcelona sounds like a mess.
Must have missed that report todayand no De Jong either.

The problem is, de Jong hasn't said anything to anyone, so any story journos are getting they'll report as news. No matter what. We don't know whats real and whats not... all he's ever said is he wants to stay at Barca, nothing else at all
Don't do it. Have faith!!Close to changing vote
Must have missed that report today
He isn't that kind of person.
People enjoy being negative.Must have missed that report today
He probably has, but then i bet what he's said has been twisted and added to in order to create a good story.How do you know he hasnt said anything? This has been going on for months and you reckon he hasnt said one fecking peep to any friends or team mates?

The thing that bothers me more than De Jong not coming, and he never was, is the loss of face for Ten Hag. He will be lampooned for this. He better get the performances up for the next few matches.

It's much easier to be negative than it is to be positive in all honesty, because it's so much easier to put out negative news than positive news.

His team mates probably say "I think he'll prefer to go to Chelsea due to CL" the reports will be "de Jong tells team mates he wants Chelsea move due to CL and will not move to United under any circumstance"
Anyone could do it. I could say i went on holiday to Barca, saw him out and about and was told this and that etc.He hasn't said anything in public. I am sure he has spoken to his girlfriend and his agent for example but none of the quoted stories can be verified. I could easily say I bumped into him in the street and he told me he dreams of playing for United and can't wait to leave Barca, I can't prove he said it but I can claim it. Frenkie is keeping quiet and so the rumours continue.

It could just be both. He won't leave unless he gets his move but also he doesn't want to leave.
Nothing today actually changes anything. If anything, it forces him further out of Barcelona.
The thing that worries me is Rabiot. I see him as an alternative, although Ornstein says otherwise, so who knows.
If we let De Jong go to Chelsea without a fight though, it’s a fecking nightmare
