Surely the next one about them not coming straight home is more interesting? I mean, they are probably staying in a hotel and everything!

What was his BIG BIG news before that he had to get confirmed? And correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't he say the transfer was hot hot before?
Talk about backtracking. Utter prat
An aggregator quoting another aggregator, which quoted another aggregator, which quoted Gerard Romero. You love to see it.
Back on topic: looks like Romero's been told off and is no longer pushing to give any new info for the time being.
I mean that one is interesting as they're clearly making headway on SOMETHING so thats good news.
If things were at that much of a stalemate, they'd have just buggered off home. Maybe we could throw in some all you can eat paella to sweeten the deal?
95% BS is probably a good description of his twitter page.
These are the noises we're hearing, but it's ludicrous to me so I hope it isn't true!I doubt that’s what is happening.
I’m pretty sure they have gone over to show Laporta how to run a football club properly.
Tomorrow morning they will help Laporta check down the back of the couch in his office for loose change to pay Frenkies deferred wages. In the afternoon they are busking as a barbershop quartet with Alemany on Las Ramblas to see what they can rustle up. Every little helps!
Maybe he just saw lethal weapon and got confused?
Pretty much. I have my doubts on this actually being concluded by the end of the week.
Any deal seems contingent on Barcelona paying Frenkie the money he's owed - and as we know, they are colossal twats!
They'll ride the all-night bus to save money. Every penny counts now.
So not 95% done then - fecking bell end.
The idea of it being used as a bargaining chip sounds ridiculous to me but it sounds like what Barca are trying to do.
Romero and his ilk, Romano et al. should be nowhere near tier one list. It’s Ornstein, Di Marzio and a couple of others - when they give an update - it’s meaningful - rather than constant regurgitation of bullshit by these charlatans.
I come back...25 pages as I sleep, and we've just gone and done a madness
Arnold and Murtough actually traveled over....what a bunch of madlads.
Doomer shambles Part 4.

Maybe for Italian related stuff, he's nowhere near the best of the bunch for everything else.
Means nothing, I was there last week
I'm there now
Yeah I meant for Italian. He breaks some huge news but not very often from what I remember.
That French guy Boufhasi was good too. Though I hung up my inner muppet a while back - I’m mostly out of the loop now.
FC Barcelona and Manchester United have an agreement for Frenkie de Jong
☝ The last word will be up to the player, who will have to decide if he stays at Barça or heads for the Premier League
Murtough and Arnold packed a travel bag and they aint returning without a blonde bombshell.
Ooh, this is being reported by Oriol Domenech. This should be taken seriously, then.
Also, i'm very disappointed we haven't had any thread title updates. They are the glue that holds the thread together
Done dealio. Murtough/Arnold masterclass.
I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t start vs Liverpool tomorrow.
They will make it seem that De Jong chose leaving over staying at Barca. They will never mention the wage cut that he would have to take if he wants to stay.
The ManagedBarca account are also tweeting that ‘something’ happened in the last few hours and now Lewa is close to Barca. I wonder if they found a pot of gold
Murtough and Arnold have presented them with the golden lever.
When we get him, what do we think will be the clincher? That we've agreed to guarantee the add-ons and it's essentially a round about way of paying frenkie?
Hahaha I love that scene
Chooo fecking chooooo.
I think something like that, yeah. Or maybe a larger chunk up front, allowing them to just pay him off
I was wondering when Domenech was going to provide a update. And believe it or, it was Oriol Domenech who first reported about United potentially signing Frenkie in April.
85m seems very high given the player and circumstances…
Get the feck in. He's in the top 3 of my favorite non-United players. Dream signing for me.
So we paid the money?
