Honestly I suspect that the vast majority of actual Barcelona fans, don't like what has happened this summer. They probably like the signings but not the way things have been done.

Until he stays on his huge contract and they can't register all their shiny new toys and buy others... then they'll hate him haha
Scenario 1 - Complete and utter refusal to leave until the club repays the money they basically scammed from you. Don't give a feck about the blatant media blackmail, threats and so forth until you get what you are owed.
Scenario 2 - Accept that you got scammed and be forced out without a fight because you are scared of being disliked.
Scenario 3 - Be so desperate to stay that you accept you got scammed and accept a new contract that is even more of a scam.
I'd say the stand that he is taking is the only one that isn't being a '**** beta ****' as you so delicately put it.
Yeah, but Chelsea need 4-5 players in other positions first...that's why I don't understand. Like I've said they need at least 1 centre back but rather 2, they need a right winger, and they need a striker before they need another CM in the squad.
They can, however they'd still have to pay his wages which changes nothing for their FFP struggles
Right, and he's been the exception, unfortunately. Even the journalists who aren't closely tied to any of the clubs (e.g. Mokbel and Burt) have been picking up that narrative.
I wouldn't be surprised if most don't care at all and are just happy with their new signings.
What makes you think Chelsea aren't going for players in those positions as well? It's possible to go for multiple targets at once.
Yeah, if anything until now, he is being as vindictive and stubborn as you could realistically image. Most players leave for less, the simple prospect of becoming a regular bench option see them try to leave at all cost.
Agreed. Also chelsea play 3 at the back which allows one of the CBs to step out and try to create something or they give it to jorginho to dicate. Where does frenkie fit in?Also, they've spent €187 million so far this summer whilst only receiving €29m from player sales & loans.
If Leicester is going to sell Fofana, Chelsea will have to make him the most expensive defender ever (would be another ~€100m), whilst de Jong would also cost around the same if they are going to cover his deferred wages as well as the transfer fee paid to Barca.
No way they spend €400m with almost no sales & end up with no striker in the squad
In a back four he will/can drop back between the CBs to pickup the ball and dicate play from there. Also drop into the full back poisiton, when the fullback is high up the pitch.
With a back 3 such as one at chelsea, it would negate his natural style of play.
Hey Frenkie,
Baby we've got your money
Don't you worry, I said hey
Frenkie we've got your money
Baby we've got your money
Don't you worry, I said hey
Frenkie we've got your money
Because they're after Fofana and he's going to cost you 85m or thereabouts. You need a striker or two as priority, so let's say 50 to 100m on them... de Jong + deferred wages will likely be another 90m or so. I just can't see you spending close to 400m in one summer.
I can see you getting fofana for a new UK defender record then getting a striker or two.
The fact that you've already spent a considerable amount of money without any big outgoings...are you gonna end up spending 400-500 million whilst only selling Werner for peanuts?
If we're being honest, there's nothing stopping them spending that much at all, but it would be overly excessive and the pressure on Tuchel to deliver would be incredible. If he fecked up he'd be gone I bet
About as rejected as United right now
Nah, if we spend what you say, we will sell a few more.
And we've been FAR more linked to Fofana and even Aubamayang than to De Jong. It's bollocks in my opinion.
Well if Chelseas big boss has spoken directly to de Jong as reported and got no enthusiasm at all towards a move to Chelsea, that doesn't really bode well does it?
Then again as I've been saying we don't know what's true and what's not now
Might have told him he has to play at shortstop.
Woooooooosh
“Frenkie’s partner is desperate to continue living in Barcelona”
then stay there then. Why are football players so whipped?!

usually we get a things are happening aggregator tweet by now
More easily said than done. Outside of yourselves and Barca everybody is being majorly cheap this summer, they will offer loan deals all day long but if you mention a permanent transfer it's like you insulted their mother.
Why is a person prioritizing his private life and where he lives over where he chooses to work?
feck I swear people forget that these are in fact human beings and have lives outside of football. Someone's partner isn't an object ffs.
They're trying to find one they haven't copied and pasted once already this week.
It was no enthusiasm towards leaving Barca full stop. Jason Burt's tweet isnt even new news, his exact words were reported like a week ago by Mundo Deportivo.... So he is rehashing other peoples news too
Both us and Utd have had that feedback. As you say who knows the truth but there has been one constant throughout the whole saga -
FDJ doesnt want to leave
To be fair you’ve been cucked left, right and centre this summer. It’s too early to claim we’ve been rejected from De Jong
I think that's just for new signings.
Found Overmars' Caf account.
And contract renewals they did this summer.
"I dont want De Jong to join Chelsea if it meant Gallagher couldn't play" Classic Jody Morris.
If you guys keep saying this, do you think that you might start believing we've had a worse window than you? I don't think so.
As for getting "cucked" (and I don't think that means what you think it means, i know my porn searches), if you aim for the stars sometimes you miss. If you go for the likes of Arnautavic then of course you get a free run.
Our bid got rejected, mate
good man, we can switch pay pal details on Sept 1st
I've always felt the situation is pretty clear...and the recent news pretty much confirms it to me. FDJ wants to stay at Barca, but he's not going to do it by slashing his salary. He wants to explore EVERY avenue possible to stay...but is willing to leave if there is no scenario where he stays and gets paid what he's owed in his current contract. He's not yet at the point...but he's expressed that when he is he's made private assertions that he would come to us. Otherwise there'd be no reason at all for us to continue to pursue it.
Pretty simple. Not anything crazy or unreasonable. Just have to let it play out and hopefully we get him in the end.

First bid. Then Ten Hag got "cucked" by you lot once you found out (which was genuinely great by the way).Our bid got rejected, mate
A Barca fan I work with said something to that effect. He's also a bit embarrassed by this whole FDJ chaos the club has instigated.
I’m going on holiday indefinitely that week. When I get back
Jody will always back the kids over everyone. He coached Gallagher since he was a foetus.
