Pretty much spot on all of these long winded protracted cafe transfers threads end up in ultimate sadness; Pogba, Alexis, Lukaku, Di Maria, J Sancho ( but he still has time to come good)Bound to be the case.
We'll finally pay exactly what Barcelona wanted two months ago, and then De Jong turns out to be shite for us, and we can't offload him because he is on £350k per week...!!

Anyway, Frenkie's enjoying his holiday and Donny's keeping an eye on him.
To be fair, there is a midfielder out there who's gettable and comparable on ability.
Let's hope you are right. The longer this drags on, the more it's on ETH. And setting up such high expectations for Frenkie.
No 6 pack, he won't fit in, don't wantAnyway, Frenkie's enjoying his holiday and Donny's keeping an eye on him.

Yeah hope other deals are still progressing
If that is the salary he wants, then we should move on.and we can't offload him because he is on £350k per week...!!
Dennis Rodman retired some time ago.To be fair, there is a midfielder out there who's gettable and comparable on ability.
Not 0 that's ridiculous but no more than probably 5/6 depending on who else signs
Judging by a lot of the comments of united fans here, if I were them, I wouldn't be too worried.
United fans whing and moan regardless.

We've fekked the negotiation by having no alternative and telegraphing that we're desperate for him. We look weak because we are, so we might as well cough up.

This is potentially sending me over the edge. If I find out De Jong's father's fat then we should abort.Anyway, Frenkie's enjoying his holiday and Donny's keeping an eye on him.
did you really report that post?!
I was wondering if I'm missing something.

Don't fret @Red the Bear, there's nothing in the report queue.

Fair enough, Frenkie de Jong is worth it though. But he alone won't be the answer ofcourse.
Have a lie down mate.
You nailed it.
Good grief. Your posts aren’t getting any better.
Read last week about some weird La Liga rule about them only being able to reinvest a small fraction, 1/3rd, of the money they'd get from a sale right now compared to being able to reinvest all of it after June 30th
and why exactly do you care what they actually pay for the player? clubs have been overpaying for however long....ETH wants the player and feels that he's the perfect midfielder for his system so why care what gets paid for him especially given the amount of bitching and whining that has taken place over the past couple of years aobut how our midfield is poor and not strengthened?
Another insightful piece of info:
La Liga's transfer window doesn't officially open until 1 July and closes 1 Sept.

This is a strange take. Silly salaries make it difficult to sell the player and negotiate contracts for new and existing players.

This is like your tagline all over again. You just reported yourself and got a warning
- No Spanish-speaking TV channel to follow during the night
- No local newspaper we have never heard off covering the potential transfer
- No English-speaking message board from the rival club with angry fans to quote
Time to move on unless Donny comments 'Tot ziens in Manchester' on FDJ's next Instagram post the coming days.

He isn't worth the price Barca wants along with his huge salary he'll demand anyway. The sooner the club moves on from this deal the better.
tielemans isn’t a defensive minded player so you end with mcFred back there, or nevesturns like a bus and runs in treacle so needs a dmto carry him. Soneither of those are alternatives. If we go for neves as a complete change we also need a better cb as teams will walk past neves and lindelof
we aren't talking about silly salaries but his transfer fee....AND why would we consider even thinking about selling a player before or right when you buy the player? You're not negotiating to buy a player with the mindset of selling him off or how much you can get for him down the road unless he's a young kid.
FDJ would be fundamental to our midfield and hopefully a red for many years.
who’s the alternative ?
You'd swear De Jong was the second coming of Christ, Ten Hag managed ok without him last year, and will have to manage with other people if this doesn't work out. This whole 'we have to get him or it's over' nonsense is ridiculous.
What I'm saying is that there was always a possibility that FDJ might not join us. So we would ideally have some backup plan, which might involve tweaking the system and buying different players instead.
We are in a better bargaining position compared to Barca. We should offer them a final deal and force them to make a decision either way.
Ahh now everything makes sense.
Interesting that Barcelona have just made a £34.4m offer for Robert Lewandowski. I wonder if the De Jong deal is done.
What can I say, was always more of a cat person myself.
considering Barca's current finances, they are only allowed to reinvest a fraction of the saved wages into new players. Its possible that the rules for them get relaxed once their investment deal goes through and they end up with positive equity.
