Just imagine FDJ signs along with SMS and Rabiot and McT is sold. The Caf might finally implode.
Please don’t piss on my chips dude. It’s been a shit two days. I’ll take any positive BS right now. Even if it’s from Romero’s dog.But it still isn’t really real…
It’s just Mitten expressing his general mood. Could probably plot the probability of FDJ coming here against Mitten’s biorhythms.
I’d only be happy if McTominay is sold to Barca in a swap deal.Just imagine FDJ signs along with SMS and Rabiot and McT is sold. The Caf might finally implode.
- Love of fans/club (not to be confused with love of the people in charge of the club)Why would anyone want to play for them if they got away with this? Seems so counterproductive.
They have played the UNO reverse card and now actually want FDJ to pay them.
So according to Mitten on that podcast;
- Barca are definitely pushing him out.
- Barca fans don't want to see him go but would accept the financial reasons causing it.
- Frenkie has told two different people that he would prefer Chelsea but would come to us if that wasn't an option.
- Chelsea have NOT bid for him.
- United reps have been in Barcelona A LOT and he's surprised they haven't been spotted more than the once.
- Barca are happy with United's attitude during this whole thing.
- Frenkie may have smiled and waved during the last game to the Barca fans when he scored but his demeanor wasn't great when Xavi addressed the crowd before the match (arms crossed, cheeks puffed out etc whilst the rest of the players behind Xavi smiled and waved).
- He's now more confident that he'll join United.
I meant why would new players want to sign with them, knowing what we know.- Love of fans/club (not to be confused with love of the people in charge of the club)
- Love of city/league
- Principle of getting paid what you are contracted to
- Firm belief that they could not earn more elsewhere
- Sticking it to the man
There are a lot of reasons for them to stand their ground, tbh.
Haha, yes, definitely. Although I'd take Rodriguez over Rabiot for sure, and I would still be concerned about our lack of strikers/RW.Just imagine FDJ signs along with SMS and Rabiot and McT is sold. The Caf might finally implode.
You're already out.
Am I being stupid or does none of this make any sense?
Ah, in that case, mostly the first two parts for sure. Also, guaranteed UCL football and a genuine chance of winning it every season is something that will attract players to the likes of Bayern, Barca and Madrid no matter how good the EPL is and how much EPL teams pay players.I meant why would new players want to sign with them, knowing what we know.
the only thing that doesn't make sense to me is his willing desire to still play for them. Could you imagine if we treated a player like that.Am I being stupid or does none of this make any sense?

Whenever I've listened to him talk about this FDJ stuff throughout, he always talks as though he is more giving his opinion rather than coming with the "I've been told..." Etc. Was that the case here?
Thats all well and good until they renege on your contract and treat you like shit.Ah, in that case, mostly the first two parts for sure.

I’m sorry. I did piss in the direction of your chips but, look, I missed! You can still eat them.Please don’t piss on my chips dude. It’s been a shit two days. I’ll take any positive BS right now. Even if it’s from Romero’s dog.

YesTalk of the Devils podcast?
Yeah he said "I've been told" quite a lot. Always thought that phrase was more about protecting sources than anything if I'm honest.Whenever I've listened to him talk about this FDJ stuff throughout, he always talks as though he is more giving his opinion rather than coming with the "I've been told..."

Yup. 15:45 in.Talk of the Devils podcast?
That does sound awfully close.Barca is saying that they have no recollection of them signing FdJ at all so they feel that FdJ should return all the wages paid to him since they day he, in their eyes, apparently joined them.
It's getting crazier every day.the only thing that doesn't make sense to me is his willing desire to still play for them. Could you imagine if we treated a player like that.
fecking scumbags barca made them sign this deferred wages deal, and stuck a loophole in so they don't have to pay
Yeah I like the jib of the jab. I’m liking what he’s been told.Yeah he said "I've been told" quite a lot. Always thought that phrase was more about protecting sources than anything if I'm honest.
Yeah I don't really understand this. If the contract is illegal and void and they have to accept their 2020 terms then surely Barca would still have to pay the difference between the two contracts. They can't just decide it's only illegal when they have to pay back the money but not when the player accepted less money.
