Frenkie de Jong | The last muppeting lap

[El Presidente]

He just said - nothing to do with de Jong.

Yeah caught that.

 

[golden_blunder]

My palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy

There's vomit on my sweater already, mom's spaghetti

I'm nervous, but on the surface I looks calm and ready

For Romano to drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin'

What he wrote down, the whole Cafe goes so loud

He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out

Bravo

 

[Zoo]

This guy

Romero just read it out on his stream. I think we're good.

Yeah saw that. He pretty much agreed with it.

 

[CallyRed]

I think I enjoy transfer season more than the actual football

 

[FriedClams]

Can we steal chelseas amazing song for him? Frenkie, Frenkie, Frenkie!

 

[NLunited]

So what is the big news? He said it would hit like a bomb.

 

[HalfBaked22]

Romero tries to build some suspense and Fab comes in with the tweet putting an end to it possibly being about Frankie.

 

[tenpoless]

De Jong is on the plane already.

On the way to ManCity rhymes.

 

[Fooza]

Have we moved from the close stage to the even closer stage yet?

 

[Mr Pigeon]

It feels good having a Muppet summer that doesn't fill me with dread.

 

[Ikon]

Is this one burnt out, with De Jong refusing to come to OT?
Surely we wouldn't have been negotiating for so long unless the player and his agent showed willingness..???

Or is De Jong, waiting for another club to hijack at the 11th hour as we've apparently done with Malacia..??

 

[sewey89]

I had to check the date to confirm that was a recent tweet

 

[tenpoless]

So no progress since 2 weeks ago. Dealing transfers, the United way.

It would take a last minute runner I think. United are signing another of his agents clients. I’m sure he wouldn’t be messing us about

 

[El Presidente]

The guaranteed fee was not 65m two weeks ago.

 

[sewey89]

Apart from us agreeing the base fee

 

[Andy_Cole]

What was the bomb

 

[Jordan_mufc]

I interpreted this as a fee has been agreed, but they're just working on the structure.

Which is different to previous weeks as their was a discrepancy on the guaranteed and overall figure. So they're just ironing out the bonus structure from what I can see

I see posts like this and think it's gotta be a WUM

 

[AndySmith1990]

There's been significant progress as we've now agreed a fee

 

[Shakesy]

What was the bomb

I guess it was that FDJ was not discussed

 

[Paxi]

Spoiler: Every time I see a Romano tweet

 

[Offside]

He’s waiting for Ornstein to update us.

 

[Hoof the ball]

Deco just left the club offices.

It'll be Raphinha turning his back on Chelsea and joining Barca.

How does Barcelona keep having funds for players despite apparently being painfuly broke?

 

[Van Pizzle]

Am I right in thinking that in "most" transfers personal terms etc are already agreed before a club would even make a bid? If so surely there's nothing to panic about.. hello to everyone by the way. long long time lurker.

 

[phelans shorts]

How does Barcelona keep having funds for players despite apparently being painfuly broke?

The players coming in are largely doing so on very significantly lower wages than those going out, plus a load of boring accountancy fiddling

Andrew Fastow......

 

[Herschel Krustofsky]

What was the bomb

We’ve rejected FDJ, not tall enough

I clearly need more accountants for my house hold budget.

Apart from us agreeing the base fee

"I'm willing to pay 65m"
"I agree that the base pay will be 65m, the rest I still have to think about so I'm only willing to pay 65m for now"

 

[GDaly95]

We're just so massive

 

[Berbaclass]

If Jamie fecking Jackson, Muppet Slayer™ is saying it. It's basically done.

 

[Rolaholic]

Donny Dilly Oh

 

[mitchmouse]

See these sort of posts just make it seem like you’re misery wumming. Choosing to believe every negative report so you can moan and moan and moan.

so.. has he signed for us yet? Have we signed anybody? Have our rivals?

maybe it's you who should remove those red-tinted glasses...

 

[Mmm-Qatarian]

BS, I choose to trust the Spanish Sun instead!

(sarcasm)

 

[MiracleInMadrid]

Would love to have a glimpse of the Barca transfer and player wage spreadsheet.

Must be one hell of an equation they are putting together.
