So I’ve been away from the internet for two days. Have I lost anything important, if anyone can update me. Or is it the same; He might join, he might stay?
 
Right lads I reckon a GoFundMe page to pay Frenkies owed money is in order. €1 each, 17 million fans. Get on it
And if we fall short I’ll keep it

Even if we hit the target and sent it to Barcelona they would spunk it all on fireworks and bAltoona for Lewandowski.
 
What this transfer need is LvG to tell him that he needs to play in the same position as he did in Ajax and as he does in the NT to have a chance to participate in the World Cup.

If there has to be a choice, then yes without a second thought.
Frenkie isn't an undisputed starter anymore with Pedri, Gavi and Kessie as competition. And we have a new lad called Torre who showed some Pedri moves in yesterdays game. Also Frenkie's best position as double pivot isn't there in barca's 433. But at the same time, he costs the club €30m+ in masa salarial every year like an elite player and game changer. So there is a big
discrepancy in cost and benefit for the club.
I love Frenkie as a player, but I understand that the club doesn't want him to stay under those circumstances.

yeah it is the one area your stacked in. I guess it really does suit all parties if he leaves.. just seems like he doesn’t want to, which is a massive stumbling block.

Xavi is trying to be nice here. Considering they are splashing cash on Raphinha and Lewa, its both sporting and economical decision. He is just being modest about this if this is true

He wouldn’t be saying that if De Jong was willing to take a pay cut also. The fact of the matter is they can’t afford him anymore and they can at least brainwash Raphinha for two or three seasons before he starts getting pissed off about missing wages also.

Ous is from this point on three times cheaper for the club than Frenkie, but is way more important on the pitch. If there was a decision between them, it didn't take 3 seconds to think about it.

Well, when you ever manage to get him on the pitch.
I predict now he’s not playing for a new contract, he’ll be back in the treatment room for 80% of the season.

Same stuff. Fee nearly agreed but he wouldn’t piss on us if we were on fire.

So the long thread transfers usually end up in disappointments... Either the player doesn't join, or joins and isn't too productive.

This is not a good sign...

Well yeah, it makes sense that a long running thread would mean the player wasn't coming, as it means it's been open the entire window

De Jong/Martinez/Eriksen all announced on the same day.
All are ex Ajax.
That would be mad wouldn’t it. Are we Ajex FC?

Mate, none of what anyone says on this entire site has any real bearing on the eventual outcome... I wasn't being serious, I thought that much was clear. But maybe not.

Nice - this is basically what I was predicting for several days. We'll add more in guaranteed + less in add-ons. More money in guaranteed will pay off FdJ's remaining wages. I think it will happen soon.

I don't really mind paying a little more upfront by taking out easy to reach bonuses like appearances etc. I hope the remaining bonuses are harder to reach like goals, assists, CL apps etc.

Yep. No update of any significance in the last three weeks. He might join, but it will probably drag in to August.
 
The transfer fee between the clubs was never in doubt for 2-3 weeks now. There's so much re-hashing on twitter and in this thread I've decided to take another break from here - till Frenkie Friday

Well no.

We’ve now got FULL agreement (add ons + fee) previously only the guaranteed fee was agreed
