I think they want to sell him to avoid paying him the full wages he is currently on on top of his deferred wages. Hence why they want him to take a wage cut. He'll be getting the deferred wages either way.

I think you misunderstand me. That’s basically what I said, not in so many words…..
I can’t be arsed to look for the rule but I don’t think that once you leave a club the player has to be paid every £/€ thats due under the contract. Put simply you can’t have any contractual obligations due to you from more than one club.
Barca could well be banned from bringing in any players if they haven’t honoured financial obligations to existing players and more interesting the player after a period of time walk for free.
The player and his reps are playing a blinder here because he has a valid contract and it’s Barca that want to break it and nothing the player has said or done puts him in breech of that contract
This is by far the worse transfer saga we've had.
I am torn as this is good news, but Terry Flewers is a wannabe Romano.
This deal is dead.
Oriol DomeYES
Oriol Domenech is solid.
YOu need to pin this. Its basically what its boiled down to. Otherwise you have people who keep reapting the same stupid statements without investing time to reading anything prior.

Yeah no.
Nothing will ever compare to Sneijder
This deal is such a rollercoaster.
Within the same page you have a journo claiming he doesn't want to move etc. Few posts later and deal is imminent.
It just goes to show none of them have a single clue whats going on.

Yeah, I just don't want old Tel' turning into a new source of BS in the transfer forum.
Bigger picture here though I guess, De JONg.
Hmm.. a throwaway line with a typo at the end of an ESPN article.
I think I believe Romano in this instance.
I don't think i've seen a transfer like this ever
One hour he's staying, the next he's leaving.

Using the belly as a lever to keep the jacket closed. Smart.
And Utd fans when we inevitably meet them in the ropey league.
Go for it mate. Ducker reported it also.
He's saying what is common knowledge among the United journos. James Ducker said the same on the debate show on MuTV about United having assurances that the player wants to join. And Ducker is among the best sources for United news.
It seems to me that Barca's expecting De Jong to go and the only question is who pays the unpaid wages: Us or them. De Jong is clearly not going to sacrifice the wages he's owed. So, if Barca don't settle the bill he'll sit on his contract and keep demanding his money. Definitely his legal entitlement btw. How many of us would happily surrender the money we are owed by our company?
I guess this transfer will come down to whether Barca can come to a settlement with De Jong or whether United agree to cough up more to cover Barca's bill.

It wouldn’t be the first time we have perused some one for a really long and it not go anywhere and it certainly won’t be the last
The Sneijder summer broke me.
I hated that Sneijder saga and how it came back every year
Now we have the likes of Romano and a bunch of "journalists" telling us the same thing with different words every single day.There isn’t a player from Birmingham except for Jack Grealish… that believes they are better than Jude Bellingham.
What a joke statement. Yes he played well against us but that’s a hyperbolic view. He’s bang average and I’m sure Villa would love to take our money if we was stupid enough to give them what we are offering De Jong.
That and they live there
I doubt they plan to elope/emigrate.No it hasn’t. It will happen. And definitely have, not that they are necessary.

That's the new annoying thing. Goldbridge with his Deal Done!!, Fee Agreed!!, Terms agreed!! fecking clickbait wankfest
Cut our loses and sign Neves from Wolves instead
Oh child, I go as far back as Ronaldinho for my breaking point.
Big statement. Not sure it's that bad.
Cesc Fabregas is fairly hard to top. Spent 3 months on signing him just to end up with Fellaini.
Although this FDJ deal is heading in that direction. I think it's got a way to run yet, I think it'll last until La Liga 2022/23 starts and if Xavi drops him for the first couple of games, he'll leave
I've been hopeful til now, but this is giving me major Di Maria vibes.
Sure, but I don't remember this situation where we spend so long with him as a priority target, agree with the club only for the player to say "nah I'm staying" (if it's true).
Shearer for me.
I'll reset him after he hits a home run
You spelt Frenkie wrong
Didn't we beat that thread comfortably already? 700+ page transfer saga has to be a first for the Caf.
Patience is earned, not a god given right.
