Why?
Aren’t sport very reliable for Barca? If true, then we’ll get a flurry of tweets today
The Spanish transfer window opens then.
EDIT: It’s actually Friday sorry. I got what date it is now mixed up
This thread gets more ridiculous by the day.
Yeah they're as good as it gets for Barca. Them and Mundo Deportivo.
It was tongue in cheek
Perhaps I should've included white text
...2023.
Sounds like we just caved in to get it done. Probably the right choice. Needs to be done and there needs to be some much needed positivity.
From Imminent FC to advanced FC
Are we still at 95% then?
Sometimes you just need to lube up and pull your pants down. Take it And move on. Everyone's happy
Manchester United will break the internet and get the important essential midfield player to build the future around, Barca sort out the financial problems selling a player they don't want or need. A win-win.
Lluis Miguel Sanz is reporting that a deal is now close between the two clubs after a break through in negotiations accelerated things in the last hours. €80m (£68m) fixed is what he's reporting.
I would wait for someone more credible to back that information up before getting carried away. But Lluis Miguel Sanz seems confident.

Let's hope this is true. I'm all for being firm on prices... But for the dream target, you just get it done asap no matter what.
I wouldn't even get it and hour, 10 mins tops
Correct decision probably because Antony off the table and able to offer more now, obviously still hoping we have a domino effect with deals but not confident
My feeling is that the transfer strategy changes massively without fdj. That’s why we wait. If we go for say Ruiz, we would need to buy a. New cb, that might cost us 45m.
if we go for neves we need a cb and dm.
if we go fdj, we can probably go for rb, and backup striker of better quality
That only concerns incoming players.
Talk of a RB seems non existent since the Dumfries stuff, in terms of backup striker that was Richarlison/DCL way back.
Wee doomed if wee don't and doomed if we do.
We've been getting rinsed for years with transfers, now we are trying to change that but now we should just pay what every one wants, no wonder the squad was bloated and disjointed with players we can't even move on as it's too expensive to do it.
Basically people can't keep their emotions in check so the club should just cough up whatever asap
Agreed.
Not signing de Jong changes the strategy because de Jong is crucial in the deeper build up phase.
Wee doomed if wee don't and doomed if we do.

Stop pissing about.
Have the "we've paid too much" and "why haven't we signed anyone" auto responders on file depending on which way this goes.
He’s fantastic for my United side in Fifa. Therefore it’s a certainty in relation life too.
Since when is Antony not happening?
Apparently he's told Ajax he wants to join United and requested to be fair in the price.
At this rate I can see a FDJ, Antony/Martinez, Bachmann summer.
Not the best, no way near enough.

Sport in general are fairly relible when it comes to Barca news.
Might get Eriksen too. I reckon we will get Frenkie and 2 other first teamers minimum. Eriksen would be a bonus
Nice. This will be done soon. We have been making slow methodical headway. As a fan It’s frustrating but from a business perspective it makes more sense to hold out for the best deal you can even if it takes a few extra weeks. Once you know the player wants to come you have a lot of leverage.
80m is not bad given they were wanting 100m
It says they have agreed on a price, 80 million €, and waiting for the player‘s approval.
What do you make of DeJong?
Seems good, would be wonderful if we get this over the line before this thread hits 400 pages.
This is a very expensive acquisition in the current economic atmosphere. Hope De Jong can contribute significantly for years.
It's actually done. A real playmaking midfielder. Our first really since Carrick.
He will be sensational for us.

Nah, Darwin Nunez cost Pool 100 mill €. I think he is a gamble, while FdJ is proven quality.
