Barcelona renewing Dembele and getting a bid accepted for Raphina tonight too… cash injection from somewhere?? :cool:
 
You'd think that it would be common sense that the club would sound out players before approaching the club with a bid. It would be extremely irresponsible of any club to just assume that a player wanted to join them
You mean like when we tried to sign Dybala
 
Aaaah ok no problem!

Have some faith. This was never going to be straightforward and it was always going to get very very messy. We just have to use our common sense and wade through the crap that's being put out there
Mate, I think your shift in this thread is close to a full 24 hours already, isn't it?

I’m sorry but the ‘transfer saga’ and ‘disastrous window’ posts I’m seeing are really annoying. The window doesn’t close until the 1st of September. If it was so simple to get complex transfers done, why not just have a month long window? Because in the real world not every transfer is straightforward with the vast sums of money involved.

If by the start of the season there has been no further signings, or the inkling of any, then yeah fine get a bit concerned. But it’s not even halfway through July for gods sake. Wish people would stop being so negative, dramatic and entitled.

Rant over.
Yeah thats the sort of post that will certainly stop it. Because thats how people work.

So many doubters in the mud right now it's delicious :drool:
Why would they be in the mud? Because United finally came out with some kind of PR move? That means thats the truth then? It is funny how you guys are almost dancing around when "infos" arrive that are aligned with your perspective while everything else is clickbait BS. I'll give it to you, at least our media people know how to calm down the most prominent skeptical concerns.

Absolutely... that's what happens when you have time off work and nothing to fill your day haha. Still I'm invested so it's something to chat about.

Back at work tomorrow, so my time posting will be severely reduced...

Pretty sure it was the fact we couldn't agree personal terms with Dybala. He was open to it from what I remember but he just demanded so much that we thought nah, this one is unobtainable.

Tottenham then tried their luck, so I'm guessing he waspst definitely open to a move to the PL in general, he just wanted and incredible amount of cash to do so

He wasnt open to leaving Juve at all. Juve tried to force him out of the club and he refused. Which is why we could not agree personal terms
 
He could forgive all the money barça owe to him, come to United under humble wages, not prioritizing material goods.
 
Contrary to what the procedure FM games make you do, agreeing personal terms comes before launching a bid.
 
I have. Absolutely no relevance to this situation. You're literally just arguing for arguing sake because you don't have anything else to be negative about.
Again you clearly have not followed the conversation. Seems like you’re the one arguing for no reason with somone who doesn't even disagree with you on De Jong and its not the first time either.

Still impressive, as a former muppet hats off to you. I'm sure someone will take over for you tomorrow :)
 
It’ll be done dealio within 14 days
Hopefully this week. We have other squad issues to sort out. Barca sort out their levers and Frenkie tells them to get fecked, hopefully

Exactly. Which is why I don't believe any of the reports that claim there's zero interest from FDJ.

We wouldn't have spent so much time on the transfer if there wasn't already some sort of agreement in place with the player, or at least an indication of his willingness to move.
 
You have to ask yourself how does this end?

1. FdJ stays at Barca but doesn't play - pretty unlikely if they don't want him and can't afford him. They risk dropping out the UCL if they mess things up too badly which would be an even biger financial disaster. 3/10

2. FdJ stays at Barca and plays. Possible but they still can't afford him and he doesn't fit what they want to do. 6/10

3. FdJ leaves for another club. Not looking very likely right now. 2/10

4. We walk away. Possible but why would we? The alternatives are pretty poor. But as time passes becomes increasingly likely. That puts pressure on Barca more than FdJ. 5/10

5. We pay more. Again why would we. Murtough has made it clear he won't and he's not an idiot like Woodward. 2/10

6. FdJ drops his demands for money owed. Extremely unlikely. He'd be mad to do that. 0/10

7. Barca pays him off - maybe with some face saving staggering - and he joins us. I still think this is the most likely option. 8/10

8. Barça offer him another wage deferral contract and he accepts. Unlikely he’d accept, unlikely they want him that badly. 2/10

I think you’re about bang on here. I just don’t think Barça nor de Jong allows this to go so far without understanding that this is likely the only solution.

The 10 reasons for Barça's Frenkie de Jong's 'no' to Manchester United

The Dutch midfielder is likely to turn down an Old Trafford move even if a fee is agreed


https://www.sport.es/en/news/barca/...kie-de-jongs-no-to-manchester-united-14043352

Was a funny read tbh. Listed 10 opinions as to why he wouldn't be open to a move, then went on to say moving to Chelsea is fine though, completely disregarding the majority of the points made as to why he wouldn't come to Manchester.
 
I think your record is stuck mate, every post is the same.
You don’t like our board. We get it. ‘Move on ffs’.

So many people lack self-awareness. Firstly they are whingers. And secondly, they have said the same thing like 20 times already. Same old message -- it's not even about United at this point. More like their general outlook in life.
 
Never buy players who don’t want to join. Such an obvious thing United can’t seem to understand. Should have moved on 6 weeks ago and now will be flapping around to get targets in when we have missed opportunities already. The club is still run by morons.

Water is wet.

Do you think ETH is a moron and is dumber than you? Or you don't have any insider knowledge of the situation and yet cant control yourself from making whingy statements?
