If they have travelled again, I would be surprised if the trip wasn't a success. I doubt they would be there again if completion wasn't a certainty or at least a very strong possibility.

Or they were craving for pintxos.

You know what to do John Murtough

The fact that Barcelona themselves have apparnelt called the meeting makes me hopeful that it really is to wrap this thing up...
 
Something absolutely has to be done this week otherwise Kounde can't be registered and they'll have paid 55m for him to sit and not be able to play for the entire winter until the january window opens....

if that happens, Frenkie is going to be fuked and the fans will turn on him

If they can’t register him then he can walk away on a free, if FDJ doesn’t happen lets get Kounde just out of badness :lol:

(Obviously FDJ is signing by next week)

Did they negotiate such clause though? It was the case for Christiansen and Kessié because they came as free agent but as far as we know it logically doesn't apply to their other signings.

It was mentioned in a tweet, I'm not sure about the reliability, though
 
We let go of Pogba, Matic, Cavani, Lingard, Mata and potentially AWB and Greenwood which would accumulate to some serious wages off the books.

I’d say thats over £1m a week of wages off the books.

Greenwood will still be paid until the result of any potential court case I would have thought.
 


Selling Frenkie would resolve all their registration problems for the rest of the window while allowing them to potentially sign a Bernardo Silva.

Think they'll do everything in their power to finalize his transfer this week
 
Have these guys actually broken anything about this story? Is there any reason to listen to them? I’ve been in this thread intermittently but everything that account says just seems pointlessly vague
Romero was the first to cover our interest i think.

Man if it weren't for gerardo we would have never known about the happening of things
 
Knowing Van Gaal yes. If he's benched indefinitely at Barca then doesnt show up in 1-2 appearances for the NT, he'll be dropped.

He’s the best player in the national team. I think he won’t be dropped even if he sits on the bench at Barca. The Dutch midfield is abysmal if he’s not there
 
Imagine … if we do this … imagine going from:

Fred - McT
Bruno​

to:

Casemiro - FDJ
Eriksen​

We won’t know what’s hit us:lol:
I’m obviously wary of us signing anyone given the amount of disappointing signings we’ve made, but this really would be dreamboat stuff and we’d inevitably improve massively.
 
Our reps probably flew out to get Kounde as we are selling Maguire to Chelsea :)

Kounde and Martinez would likely be the shortest CB pairing in the history of the league. But man, would it feel good to see Barca’s corrupt leadership take one to the chops. Ok, I’m in. Haha!

How? 20m euros needed for Kounde, plus 70-80m for Bernardo? I think it's got to the point now where it is pointless trying to outline the benefits to Barca of selling. They will sell and have agreed fees with us. It's the player that is the problem, he simply doesn't want to leave.

That Koundé would be a free agent if they can't register him? That's highly unlikely, free agency is something that concerns FIFA, while the registration that we are talking about concerns the LFP and La Liga. Koundé and all Barcelona signings are registered to FIFA, they have no reason to forfeit the +50m that they paid especially when he can play in Copa del Rey and be registred for the CL.
 

It would be funny: free agents may be registered after transfer window is shut, so Kounde will probably have over 10 top calibre offers to choose from on the table. Everyone would be willing to get him on a free. And Barca will still have to pay for his transfer

Don't be wary my friend! Open your arms and welcome in a new age! A new age of thundering tackles and silky, progressive passing. The difference would / will be night and day innit!
 
Can't they just sell Auba to Chelsea and register Kounde?
 
Does anyone really believe that our reps have again flew out to Barca to conclude the deal other than an obscure Mirror report? I wouldn’t get too excited until the trusted English journos are reporting it or even the attention seeker Romero

There’s not much more they can do than they already have to get rid of FDJ. I’m certain they would give him 17m if it means getting in 80m.

You're applying your own logic, not LvG's.
