Good news boys, the depay deal seems to be off, that's only gonna pile more pressure on barca to act.
 
Casemiro, greatest DM in the history of the game.

Casemiro obviously doesn’t read redcafe! Now he has to find out that the club is in shambles on his own.
Shambles and emmbarrrrasiingg.
 
The deal looks quite straight forward to me and I never thought that it would drag all summer.

1. Man Utd desperately want FDJ
2. Barca and Man Utd agreed transfer fees
3. Man Utd have no problem paying FDJ wages
4. Barca want to sell FDJ or forced him to take paycut
5. FDJ make it clear that he won't take paycut
6. Barca don't need FDJ and use him as subs and even played him at CB
7. It's world cup year and FDJ needs to leave for first team football
8. FDJ work with ETH before and played his best football under him

All these points to no brainer that FDJ should already be Man Utd player long ago. Somehow, somewhere there are still gaps that we can't closed. But it's definitely still hope. It doesn't make sense for all parties (Man Utd, Barca and FDJ) if FDJ stays at Barca.

Number 3 is where this falls down. It is not a fact that we have no issue paying the deferred wages. There have been conflicting reports around this notion that both ourselves and Chelsea are happy to pay it. Take out number 3 being true and that makes the most logical sense as to why this deal has been at an impasse really.

You should probably apply for dof then, because nothing is straight forward about this deal. Club sources said a long time ago that we were prepared to head all the way into deadline day. Chelsea won't even put in a bid until they are 100% sure the deal is on.
 
Personally don't give a feck chap! Just pointing out your post was completely and utterly pointless, to which I also don't give a feck.
Yeah maybe. And like I said, you had 1700 pages to choose from.

I don't believe number 1 is true anymore. We don't have the budget anymore after Casemiro, and there won't be the same willingness to add to the debt to fund this after Monday.

And if we keep this going it'll be 1800! That's the thing. Same as every other thread. Bits and bobs. Rumours. Bullsh*t and nonsense. It's part of the 'fun'? You take your pick and make your own mind up innit.

We have it on good authority that this saga is ‘boring’ and ‘embarrassing’. Make of that what you will. ;)

Yeah, some people lap that shit up...others don't. No big deal either way. Always the muppets that lose their shit though when everyone doesn't play along.

A lot of it IS boring and some of it IS embarrassing but it's summat to do in't it? Keeps us out of trouble. Depends on how seriously you take it all. Some take it far too seriously :)

There were reports that Barca willing to pay 7 mil and Man Utd 10 mil for the deferred wages. Anyway, looking at the other more pressing points the most logical way is for 3 parties to resolve the difference and find a win win solution. It's clearly that Barca want FDJ gone, Man Utd need him as a final piece of jigsaw puzzle and FDJ need first team football for world cup.
 
I remember a movie where some plucky Spartans went up against Persians with all the odds firmly stacked against them. The title, incidentally, was super close to 291 as well. Now, I did not watch more than 50% of that movie, but we must take hope in stories like that. Maybe those 2000 pages and/or the deal with De Jong will indeed have a similar conclusion as the film, which must have been epic and triumphant. I, for one will not despair yet.
