60/40 he stays i reckon. This is FAR from anywhere near being done.

He is dithering because he is busy playing Mah-Jong.
And you're obviously much closer to the deal and people involved than the multiple journalists saying it'll get done to be fair.
feck me.
No, that’s an example of what “priority” means.
It doesn’t mean a person has no desire to do something else.
Malacia and Eriksen done dealios. Frenkie next
For him to stay he's going to have to accept a huge pay cut, and likely give up some of the deferred money owed to him.
Then he'll have to watch as new players come in on much more money than him.
His love for the club might be strong enough for him to accept that, but from all accounts, it's very very unlikely, albeit not totally impossible
Why would new players come in on more money than his pay cut? - Doesnt make sense. They may come in on parity but surely no more than what he may reduce to......
So you think that Lewandowski will come in on less money than de Jong or on parity with him?
Yes, writing self loathing fanfiction. Great pastime, that.
Even you? I’d have thought your patience would be steadfast
Berbatov, Sneijder, Thiago, Vidal, Pogba, Griezmann, Sancho, De Jong... Our muppet sagas just never drop in quality. Meanwhile even Game of Thrones flopped towards the end.
All I can deduce is that Caftards have memories like a gnat. Its repeat and rinse a script nearly every summer. People getting upset with each other when the reality is that everything is based on crumbles of information. I think it's less of a logical discussion but one of a reflection of the posters' personalities or mental state being projected into these threads. High anxiety levels.
You're the ITK that this thread has been waiting for.
Our pitch to Frenkie.... don't go breaking his heart, you can take the weight off him... Frenkie.
Yeah he makes me look positive which is difficult
I see Barcelona have started signing players.
I wonder what he has to say on the Martinez deal
I very much enjoyed this post. Mmmm crumbles.
The bodies arent even cold yet...
Anyone in this thread genuinely think we can get this done in time for Friday?
Barca recruitment seems to be a bit all over the place too
Was just a sarcastic observation from the outside, Barca players despite not being loved, willing to do whatever to stay at the club, whilst we throw money at players who prefer to leave.... in the words of Paula Abdul, "it ain't fiction just a natural fact"
Hope not. I just cancelled my Netflix sub.
Nah. I think we’ll sign him but it’ll be later in the window now. Hopefully I’m wrong.
They are the original galacticos club arent they? The 90s till the early 2000s.
All great players can find a way to play with one another.
Well it's been a few days since the absolutely not for sale comments, and theres been no brief or any kind of suggestion that we're walking away.
I know we don't do things the easy way, but with things starting to click with other players, i can see this being done one way or another rather soon.

I think if we offer him 400k weekly, he will come.
Money and respect is all we have for him.

Eriksen wouldn't have signed for us if he didn't believe that De Jong would be joining. Playing with our current midfield isn't good for the heart.
Its a cult over there. I bet they drink Kool-Aid on the training ground instead of Gatorade or Lucozade.
At this rate, quite a few of us will require pacemakers implanted.
Yeah that's very true but we now have the Ronaldo floorshow to deal with as well
Ours are fed up of drinking Glazerade, it is flavoured with ginger and incompetence
Can we stop making these "jokes" about heart conditions, please? It's very distasteful under the circumstances.
Yep we do. I do wonder if we're accelerating things to prove to Ronaldo that we're serious about getting back to the top? I know that seems very far fetched, but you never know.
It's probably more the fact that most deals are that far advanced that they were close to being done anyway.
What on earth have I just read?
No. It dragged for.2 months because United and Barca were negotiating his big transfer fee. Even if de Jong agree to sign with United from day one, he wont say anything publicly until both club agree on the fee.
Malacia cost 17m Euros,this isn't comparable at all
More likely Martinez next at this stage. The de Jong transfer saga will drag on well into July.
Ummmm.... what?
Same Barca who are almost bankrupt due to the wages they have been paying to the players who according to some here would be willing to play for free something doesn't add up .
