Didn't Sport first break that the deal was close?
Yep, no chance of buying this guy now. Can't believe those articles in the Spanish press were completely and entirely 100% true. I guess it's better find out this way than the way we did with Di Maria.
Who's a good alternative? Maybe we can gazzump Joe Riley before his move 1st July?
Always amazed how seasoned muppets behave like it's their first roller coaster ride. Every single time.
You just wait if we sign him. Every poor or average game he has, people will be out reminding us that he is Di Maria 2.0.
I also think it's insane that we would have proceeded this far without consulting the player first. It's not like he can be forced out, look at players like Bale who were happy to collect their wages despite Madrid doing thier best to move him on.
Frenkie. Barca don't want you anymore.
If true FDJ would have royally fecked over his personal relationship with ETH, there's no way we'd have gone this far with negotiations, within touching distance of signing an agreement, to pull out at the last second.
Nothing more than a change of heart it appears as things started to get real.
I look forward to him confidently saying he's staying at Barca, to arrive back there for training to be told they can't afford to pay him, so erm, no you're not.
Yeah there's no difference between those two for me
Frenkie is under great pressure regarding his future, but he knows that if he continues, Xavi will depend on him as a key player.
Was too smooth, knew it
Remember the Groundhog day gif during Pogba's transfer?
I think it was one of Olly's masterpieces.Oh well, isn't this bringing out all the negative folk
Just a couple of things to remember:
- SPORT's job is basically to big up Barcelona.. The whole article translates (via Google, so maybe not the best) like a Barca fan wrote it and they couldn't understand why anyone would want to leave.
- No reliable journalist has come out with this. Nothing from Gerard Romero etc, who has been all over this story.
- We wouldn't go after a player for this amount of time without getting guarantees that a player wants to come. When was the last time in a big transfer that a bid was accepted for a player and then player actually turned the move down?
I'm not having it.

Frenkie stays relax.
New it was too good to be true. On Neves we go.
This guy is more of a pr mouthpiece than anything else.
Damn it, game over. Achraf has spoken.
The SPORT article, might seem like bullshit, but it all seems very accurate to me.
We know for a fact that De Jong, does not want to leave the club of his “dreams”.
He is being forced out, and now it’s becoming apparent, that he is willing to fight to stay at Barcelona.
De Jong has 4 years left on his contract, he doesn’t have to leave, if he refuses.

Yep, you're right. Time to move on to other more realistic transfers.
Nothing has happened guys chill.
There you go then. It’s purely a financial holdup. Indicating he’s said yes.
Yeah there's no difference between those two for me
Are you a Kiwi or something?
Just what I’m reading on here and newspaper stories, click sites about him not wanting to leave. I don’t know what to believe anymore. Cock out, back in, out again, in again finally get ya bellend trapped in the zip.
I actually forgot how pathetic Muppets are
Maybe we're suddenly going in for Malacia and Lisandro, as well as Antony not because we know how much we're paying for de Jong first, but because de Jong isn't coming.
God. Imagine.
God. Imagine.
OK buddyMaybe we're suddenly going in for Malacia and Lisandro, as well as Antony not because we know how much we're paying for de Jong first, but because de Jong isn't coming.
God. Imagine.
This is it. Martinez played DM a couple of seasons ago for a while. He is the De Jong alternative.
Basically
Screams of the Botman deal where it was reported that he didn't want Newcastle and rather delayed and wanted to wait for Milan to get the deal done, now where did he end up?
Literally everyone has stated otherwiseMaybe we're suddenly going in for Malacia and Lisandro, as well as Antony not because we know how much we're paying for de Jong first, but because de Jong isn't coming.

The fact that people can't see this but are so cynical when we do PR spin
Contracts are meaningless, money is fake, nothing means anything anymore. We are all hurtling through nothingness on a giant rock going into the abyss.
Benrahma for 40m
You’re right, This is the line I’m gonna take now.
