Man, we are perceptive as feck
When we’ve paid up to 75% of players wages loaned out of the club in the recent past, which has given us no benefit whatsoever, paying some or all of FDJs 17m to get him on the pitch for us is imperative now and a small price to bump start our flat lining season.
Get it done and get him here.
Get it done and get him here.
Seems like the narrative is changing. Now he’s “important” if he stays. Last week he “didn’t have a place in the team”. It’s going to be an interesting end to the window and I don’t think in a good way for us.
The narrative is changing every 2 hours tbf.
rabiot is a beast physically, guy is massive and strong with it.
Xavi is already under a lot of pressure because Busquets is burnt and FDJ was the best player for Barcelona yesterday while only playing a handful of minutes. I really don't see how they can sell him now especially with Nico on loan, I think theres 95% chances he stays at Barcelona because they need his profile real bad.
True to be fair. But this time it’s out of Xavi’s own mouth. Still says he doesn’t know if he will stay though which is promising for us.
As the player I would not feel good being messed around all summer only to be told “oh go on you can stay”
There were two contradicting tweets literally on top of each other but you chose to believe the one that said he might be staying.
He never said anything different through the whole saga
If anything, the past couple of games have meant that United will be forced to pay all the wages and then another sign on bonus if they want FdJ this summer.
He hasn't said anything, in fact why can't he say De Jong is going nowhere.
Not in the PL he hasn't.
Because it’s not up to him. It’s been Laporta and the board all along. Xavi doesn’t want a world class option gone - that’d be crazy.
If he stays, he will play. You’d be crazy not to.
Oh yeah, the almighty PL, I forgot....
He's stronger than Jorginho who managed to fare pretty well in the PL (despite being a pretty slow, average+ player). He'd be fine.
It's got to the stage where FDJ won't be enough. ETH probably won't last the season even if he lands him.
If we can sign him, Rabiot and a couple of others then fine. But if we can't, but could sign Rabiot, SMS/Neves/whoever for CM + 2 others, then that is the way to go.
We're skint though, who am I trying to kid. It's a hopeless situation.

So who can that realistically be after yesterday
Sorry to say we have another game first
Saw the comeback against Coventry and thought - that's the team for me.
I imagine a lot of these sort of quotes is the fact they owe him 17m and it could well go to a tribunal.
Constructive dismissal is surely a thing in Spain and telling a player you owe 17m in wages that you’re going to help their career down the pan if they don’t play along isn’t generally accepted as correct employer behaviour.
Yeah that DM stance needs to change, also would take a miracle for him to come after such a disastrous start
Xavi said pretty much the same thing about Aubameyang and they can't wait to get rid of him.
Jesus, posts like this from a full member and I’m sat here still gathering likes as a new member. Obviously the dramatics are a recent addition to your posting or you’d be sat here with me!
Then it doesn't really matter what Xavi says, does it?
wtf has been happening over the last couple pages
I'm using a loose definition here, I could extend it to the last 1500 or so pages
@RDCR07 thinks you're racist.
Only if he's not friends with Balotelli. Are you friends with Balotelli, @Cascarino?
If Balotelli were to unilaterally declare that he is friends with everyone would that solve racism?
Problem solved, case closed.
My work is done here.
If we cut the mistakes, the shipping will stop. Pretty much all of them were mistakes. I said pretty much because, the corner one is the only one I would argue against.
Interestingly, the odds on him joining us are now virtually identical to him joining Chelsea or staying at Barcelona. All to play for here!
Plus a striker.
Never in doubt mofo.
It certainly could blunt it.
