Just doomers wanting to be negative all the time really.
Frenkie de Jong | The last muppeting lap

Getting embarrassed by such a thing reflects badly on them
I fail to see how this is "embarrassing". United have done everything they could, but at the end of the day, you can't force a player to move. If he'll rather stay at a club where he's owed money and asked for wage cuts, there's nothing you can do, really. We probably should have moved on earlier, but we did get Casemiro in, which is awesome. So all in all, I can't really fault United in all of this.
You asked this question only so he can have another final post, admit it!!
Band warming up for the fat lady. It isn’t over yet!
But in the end what will happen? Can Barca register all new players, did they pay owed money to de Jong, or he accepted new contract? Can this situation stay in status quo at all?
Sorry but almost 2000 pages for one possible transfer is a bit pathetic. You guys can't you just move on?
It's been a proper funny thread tbh. Enjoyed all the excitement
Very happy that this thread will not reach 2k posts. Lots of too self-aware Muppets. The true Muppet doesn't know he's a Muppet.
6 hours 5 minutes to go…
Until next year Frenkie, when United are back in the CL and you're the one that's calling ETH begging to be a Red
So, Frenkie plays reserve CH and gets a horse's head in his bed. See if his missus loves Barca when fans are shouting abuse at them
So, we buy him in January. See you all in a few months.

Hopefully they go out early in the CL, win feck all and will be I a much worse position next year. We'll get Frenkie for peanuts then

What a saga. Shame we couldn’t lure him here, but I feel like we’ve brought in players who want to be here and will improve us.
I look forward to this thread in December!
Viva la Muppets!!

Who you calling fat?! Just little bit over weighted!Band warming up for the fat lady. It isn’t over yet!
Barca activated their 4th lever. They sold even more of their future revenue. So they can now register all their new players.
I'll miss this...
They did register all the players and they're paying De Jong the highest salary at the club.
No one knows what's going to happen next.
100%
Only thing embarrassing is the state of our deflective fan base that can't embrace negative emotion, accept defeat or understand that you don't always get your own way.
You win some, you lose some.
Hopefully one day we will find out what really happened in this saga.
You just do not chase a player for months and not get him, we are either really stupid or FDG is one weak individual or a mixture of both.

Agreed, the funny thing is when it seems like we did move on from him. Ten Hag in his interview in pre season said if we cannot get the right player, we will develop one. Which shows, he moved on from Frenkie.
Obviously, the start of the season showed, you can't develop some of the players and we signed Casemiro.
On Frenkie, I feel the club moved on from him but kept tabs on the situation in case the opportunity to sign was there.
There was no reports of us even offering De Jong wages.
Spot on.
We chased Sancho for more than one summer.
So what happens to Barca now?
Who won't be registered and should we be swiping them on a free?

Muppet suicide watch.
Epic, record breaking Muppeting. Well done Caf and de Jong. What a legacy.
Or maybe from the very beginning, FDJ was willing to join but couldn't because he didn't want to lose the 17 million euros owed to him by Barca? Which in the end Barca were forced to activate their 4th lever after they couldn't force FDJ to leave?
Barca will have very little future revenue to run their over extended business on in the the next few years.
They sold even more of their future revenue. They have already registered all their new players and played them in league games the last few weeks. FDJ is one of their highest paid players and they are benching him for now.
He will probably play once this window shuts.
I agree. I'm guessing he will be played more once the window shuts as well. This has always been a game of chicken between barca and FDJ. Looks like a draw or win for FDJ if he plays more.
He’ll rue missing the chance of winning the Europa league having lost the final to us before
