See it as they are trying to get the best deal so have money for another couple as well, however agree it's frustrating not to be sorted a week before we fly out on tour
I don't mind realism but some people are pessimistic to a point that is far beyond realism.
Applying a reasonable level of caution is fine but some people on here moan about literally anything the club does. "Why are we spending so much on players? The club is inept!" "Why are we taking so long negotiating deals? Just pay up!"
Ah, OK... But what about people who are far too optimistic?
Thats true, but for the sake of £10m or so, its a tiny amount when we consider that FDJ should ensure champions league qualification.
I find that infinitely more bearable than people who do nothing but whinge.
Is there anyone on here?
My dick was out since page 154. Is it actually happening?
I may as well be a negative Nancy, but this saga gives me AdM vibes - star player "forced" to Old Trafford. Hope he will prove me (and any potential other doubters) wrong!
Give it a rest Woody..
True.
Sometimes, though, one poster might just feel a little negative about whatever and post, only to be taken out instead of guided to understanding.
Well now...
Payment structures are a big deal on such a large transfers to be fair. The issue is how long it takes us to complete the negotiations not that we are bothering to negotiate.
Wasn't it the athletic that mentioned between each proposal for Sancho we had to go back to the glazers first. Other clubs seem to have the freedom to close out negotiations quickly in the room whilst we have to do it over days and weeks.

I bet she is loving the attention of keen United fans viewing her stories on repeat
She's fairly famous anyway. 1.5 Million followers. She's a social media influencer/fashion designer/ex-hockey player.
Sadly those leeches have the final say on the financial element of any transfers, this means we don’t get deals done quick as we should
I’ve been doing that way before we were linked to Frenkie
To be fair it's nice to see a footballer and his partner going to normal Holiday type attractions (even if they are very high end). It makes a pleasant change from Instagram being wall to wall product endorsements and promotion of friends dodgy restaurants / Wine bars / Money laundering cash sinks.
That’s one way to look at it.
Not being fleeced, and still getting in the players the manager wants is in my own opinion, a much better way to run a football club.
Why is Murthough so involved in the negotiations actually?
That's a pretty long username. Is she trying to beat Llanfairpwllgwy...gogogoch?
We sacked Judge :-/
Think he's getting some additional outside legal help to negotiate soon as well.
That's her name mate
"Barcelona are waiting for Frenkie de Jong to return from holiday so they can tell him they don't want him right in front of his face."
Tweets over the past few days said the fee was agreed and it was down to the player's T&Cs so what's with the new negotiations?
Payment structure
Add on structure and specifics.
Fee is agreed and set at €65 million + 20 in add ons.
I think what was said is that the minimum fee upfront is agreed, but there will be addons that need negotiating.
Makes sense, it's quite weird. Someone else should be doing the bulk of that. I guess this is an anomaly.
Hmmm I can't think of a reason why
