Most of those players are full internationals. They wouldn't have been available this week regardless

Fabrizio Romano on YouTube last night said that the fee still hasn’t been agreed, no contact with FDJ’s agent so no personal terms even spoken about. This is typical of the idiots running the club. Trying to buy a player who doesn’t want to move from his current club. Barca are not in a strong position to negotiate and we still have spent weeks dithering. We should walk away and look elsewhere as the guy can’t give 100% if his head isn’t right, and it will stop the reams of paper talk shite and Forum space.
The fact this might be a serious post is hilarious. I feel bad for you.
Why is the agent not authorized to complete the Malacia deal? Does that mean he's not authorized by the player, or that he doesn't have some sort of legal or regulatory authorisation as an agent?
If it's the later, that would make sense for it to impact the De Jong deal as well.

Malacia told him to bugger off. Means nothing for FDJ, it's poor from Orny baiting for clicks.
Your big mistake here is listening to Romano the tap In merchant. Once you disregard that part, the rest of your post is just emotion talking
If this doesn't happen at this point 
This is the only thing I care about, the signings starting to embed in the squad for the tour.
Regardless of which transfer masturbator you heard it from, if you genuinely believe a deal like this gets as far along as it has without us and his agent having multiple conversations (probably daily) then I don’t know what to tell you. It’s fairyland stuff.
But they don't know them and he has to teach them and he needs all the time possible.
Are you sure you aren't watching a video from 2 weeks ago?
I thought they both share the same agent?
Not officially according to Ornstein and now his Da isn't happy.
So are we going to get some good news on this then today?
They did but I don't see why Malacia choosing not to use Dursun to represent him in his move to United would have any impact on De Jong's move either, unless it's a wider legal problem with Dursun himself.
Oh stop whining.....would it really matter if we sign 4 players in june ? Ideally - we would have everyone signed in may - but the most important thing is that we get them signed
Would you be interested in buying a bridge?
He is a very good player. Good players still need the right systems to get the most out of them. Last year was an environment where nobody could perform. Ronaldo even looked like he should retire for half the season. There's really nothing to take from it and being critical on Sancho with his situation is just pointless IMO.
I’m only interested if it comes with the sea already attached.
None of this makes any sense at all.
Posting when drunk. (PwD)
Someone mentioned this before. Unless they are classing Wilfred Zaha. Which was official done in the January window. David Moyes went a full summer without any signings until deadline day.
Agent playing havoc?
Apparently signing varella for the under 21s counted as a signing
Cheap wins.
We have a nice expression here for posters who believe everything they read.
You can sell them balls for kidneys.
I couldn’t give a feck if it’s 110m or 210m,I just want it spent well and not spunked on “meh” as has so often been the case.
If getting FDJ for 65 rather than a Woodyesque 85 means we have a lower spend, I’m gonna choose to see that as a good thing & not vice versa.
By not stumping up the £80m immediately for a landmark signing like FDJ, the club are defacto not backing the manager. This was the opportunity to make a big statement and as usual they are diddering around like the fools that they are.
Why is it that optimism is praised and pessimism is blasted on here? Two sides of the same coin...
Realism is where it's at.
Realism is where it's at.
I think for once maybe not jipping loads of unnecessary extra cash is the statement we should be making. We've made the big signing statement enough to no avail.
I think because reality has been so hard on us lately, optimism is a tiny respite.
