Anybody else getting a , Barcelona as the abusive husband and De Jong as the wife/mother of 3 that’s afraid to chew her food at the dinner table vibe? Maybe it’s just me.

Croadyman is redcafes very own Neil the hippy or Eeyore. He’s part of the furniture really, just hanging around being gloomy about stuff and occasionally getting excited about a development only to go back to gloomy again. I’m sure he’ll be buzzing when FDJ signs next week. Leave him be.

Summed me up perfectly and inadvertently guessed my first name as well so good work
 
With Casemiro signing, I think some of the wind is taken out of this thread, but I am still hopeful!

To me Seems more like De Jong being the abusive husband and Barcelona being the abused wife.

We would be lucky if we sign anyone else before the window closes. I just have a nasty feeling that the club is trying to show off to fans that they are trying to get players with huge fees. But, in reality we have not exactly spending that much at all this season compared to most others in the past so far.
 
Well, given he is ready to give up any sort of self respect to play for Barcelona, a club that threatened to take him to court, a club whose fans abused him.. it's not that hard to believe that he will do it.
If he does take a pay cut on top off all you have said. He definitely does not have the mental strength to make it at United in the state we are in.
 
Find it hilarious that we are stilling counting down for the transfer.
If De Jong really wanted to come over, that should have been sealed. If he has been half-hearted and considering other options, we probably should not get him even if we can manage that. Not sure he is going to give 100% for the team.
 
Didn’t Dembele do exactly that?

Yes but his previous contract had already ended and it's not like he could get that kind of money anywhere else either. He signed the previous deal upon a +100M move as one of the most highly rated young players in the world and now in 2022 he just didn't justify that kind of a salary.

Compared to his old wages either he'd have accepted a wage cut at Barcelona or a wage cut at somewhere else so he chose to stay. Its also doubtful whether he even had any other offers, there were some interest from PSG and Chelsea but a formal offer was never made by either of them. It could be because he was always planning on staying or it could be because nobody fancied him that much. Seeing as he only signed a two year deal (age 25) I'd kind of lean into the latter.

Completely different circumstances to De Jong who still has a deal till 2026 signed and agreed by both parties.
 
Barca told him to leave but he doesn't.
Well, in all honesty, he's under no obligation to do so. The only way they could get him out is by making his life a misery, but theres no point in doing so. If he is to stay, he'll likely stay on his same wage, and this fun will start again next season when his wages are set to go even higher
 
6 days and we have 270 more pages. That will roughly take about 20 unverified shit sources from twitter. Guys do your stuffs.
BREAKING: reports just in that the deferred wages are actually €600m and ManUtd refuses to pay more than 80% of those due to tax purposes. Murtough and Arnold travel to Barcelona to sort things out and suggest the Catalans offer Frenkie a couple of groupons.
