ETH, Ruud, van Persie need to keep calling FDJs phone and tell him to sign for us
He'll crack eventually

You need to read between the lines dude. Your optimism is admirable but things are starting to add up.
Arsenal fans have some hope and belief they are going to sign FDJ. Bless them.
Jeez. Sounds like a date
At least they didn’t spend all summer believing.
It's a very annoying place to shop though, they often don't have items this week that they had last week. Their bakery is unrivalled though.
Would never have happened, though, due to the contract lengths involved and the fact that FDJ had no reason to leave Barca, he was happy and they weren't needing huge sums of money urgently because nobody knew they were about to buy half the players in Europe.
They have weekly themes and tell you about them weeks in advance.
Bakery is amazing. Great place to shop except when it comes to paying. It’s like they aren’t interested in taking your money. Not a staff member to be seen at checkout. Then you get the beep that signals a checkout is about to open. You waddle over to it and it’s another 10 minutes before some dude arrives from his lunch break.
This is why the ball is in his court. He can decide to stay there or come to the prem.
"Respected journos". None of them peddle transfer guff to online football fans so that's kinda impossible.
Barcelona really know how to work the market. If only they could manage their finances half as well.
Fair enough.
Change it into, i don't know, "sources close to the club". Or whatever.
Besides Ben Jacobs, 0.
And he had a preeeety big miss in Kounde just weeks ago.
Cannot see that being true. We wouldn't risk losing out on him after so long over that amount
Conflicting to other reports saying Glazers aren’t willing to cover the deferred wages.
It wouldn’t make sense as we are willing to spend more than the deferred wages on some average players.

Over €17m? Yes we would. That'd take the transfer to €100m which would be nuts.
it's also probably illegal, and total bullshit.
Yeah that’s obviously a load of bollocks IMO
To be fair, covering his wages is absurd. What sort of precedent does that set. I really hoped we would get him but it doesn’t sit right with me if we pay barca’s bill for them. Thats just not how business should work.
After chasing him three months? Absolutely no chance
Doesn’t necessarily have to be part of the transfer fee
I'm of the opinion that's they're all grifters and there's almost no value in 99% of what they post.
Dog shit tweet.
So lazy for United Stand to peddle that for the Glazer hate engagement that it is guaranteed to generate.
That's irrelevant.
Now, let's play a little game.
How do you see this ending a who's gonna call it first?
"Here we go" to United by Romano?
"FDJ caves in to Barca demands" by some spanish cnut?
"Flying to London tomorrow" by Jacobs?
"Something....." by Ducker?

I mean the Lidl in my neighbourhood will have a particular brand of bread or yoghurt available for a few weeks or months and then won’t be seen again for months then randomly show up on the shelf again when you least expect it. That inconsistency is very annoying. I mostly drive past them to shop in Tesco who are a bit more reliable for my standard weekly shopping.
If we actually lost out on de Jong over deferred wages 
So Chelsea have gone from being willing to match the fee and paying the deffered wages to low balling Barcelona on the fee?
Seems legit.
Seems legit.
€100m and he flops hard. He can't live up to that sort of price tag.
Are they really?
Reporters really don't know as much as we think they know, they're speculating and guessing and people are buying into everything they say
But he'd be fine with an 83m price tag? Nevermind you confusing the currencies
Absolutely nothing i've seen today has convinced me that he's not coming
Can't blame people for believing, they literally got a fee agreed weeks ago, from what I understand it hasn't left the table.
Now you'd have a point if it was some of the previous targets like sneijder etc
Exactly this. It would open a financing practice can of worms which feeder clubs and franchises like RB would exploit to the max.
It's who Mark Goldbridge works for so hate engagement is what they specialise in.
Oh I didn't realise that if it's not part of the transfer fee then it's magically not real money we're paying.
