None of what you've said is about Elephants.
Is it tomorrow that Barcelona fly out on their tour?
But the wages are deferred installments. He cant demand it to be settled in one payment, no?
MUFC briefing Ducker we got the green light from the FDJ camp and Spanish journo's pumping out "He's not leaving" is basically the default Rorschach test for this thread 
Oh, don't get me wrong, Barcelona look like arseholes. However, if my agent had assured me to re-sign to Barcelona's restructured contract, one that contained no clauses to guarantee the pay-out of an average level of salary should the club seek to sell me early on in its term, I'd be furious right now.
Narrative
Only appropriate response.
It's just poker at this stage, don't see why people are getting concerned with the regular updates all saying the same things to be honest. He wants Barca to pay up and knows if he tells them he's going to leave they won't. He also knows they are reliant on him leaving to pursue their own transfers. If insists he wants to stay and does everything by the book in the terms of his contact, sooner or later they will have to pay up to move him on and then he can leave. It'll happen, it's just a case of which side breaks first.
Deranged.
Pretty sure Romero has been saying the same stuff over and over now regardless of what's told elsewhere. It's just a merry-go-round of crap!
Pretty sure Romero is loving this, he's going to be one of the most popular journos on twitter with United fans atm
Campaigns to force him out, eh?
We're all thinking smear campaigns, whereas Barcelona are thinking Dungeons & Dragons.

Is tomorrow still D-Day for this transfer? Wasn't there something about us packing up and walking away on Friday?
Like i said on page 4 or 5 he's really not worth all the fecking around.
We should've moved on from this nonsense weeks ago. It's just an embarrassment at this point begging a player to join us that's never once said he wants to come here.

Come on then agent DWelbz give us your insight.
I bet for all your laughing you've probably not even watched 30 seconds of him on YouTube
D-Day for this saga is either a direct briefing to Stone/BBC Ducker/Tele that we pulled out, or the last day of the transfer window.
That's in the Classics forum but was 'only' 394 pages. The newbie thread actually had more pages (433), so combined it'd be top three.
Appreciate the stats but funny you mention Carrick.
6,2,4,5,0,2,2,1,1,0,1,0 That's Carricks goals scored in all comps across his 12 seasons with us. It's normal for DLPs to not really show up on the stat sheet which is why goals and assists are largely irrelevant without context.
What did Sneijder reach buddy?
That’s insane, I was pretty sure that it was around 1k!
Martinez and Eriksen virtually wrapped.
I don't understand that. Why would that be the case? The money is owed whether he stays or leaves. If he tells them he is leaving and they refuse to pay then you just sue them for salary owed. They would pay. Before it gets anywhere near court.
Again, I fail to see how we'd progress a deal this far without getting the green light from de Jong's camp. It'd be incompetence if nothing else. I'd imagine it's posturing.

I imagine our transfer fee is though as well, so as long as it's earmarked for that, which I'm not confident it will be. I don' t think he's really expecting to get 17m upfront, it's the agreement that 17m will be paid that's he's not getting yet.
"United have also dismissed talk suggesting Frenkie de Jong does not want to move to Old Trafford. He has given encouragement to Ten Hag, hence the long pursuit and a basic agreement of around £72m including extras in place with Barcelona for the midfielder.”

Quality over quantity. Newbie system meant something back then.
Exactly. Unless the wording of the contract strangely suggests otherwise.
My guess is going to a Spanish court while playing in England is something he wants to avoid.
Why would you be worried? The guarantee is implicit. If the club want to sell you they have to make you happy with the terms of your departure. If you aren't happy unless you get those wages then don't have to leave.
Yes it would have been much simpler for all parties if that was spelled out in the new contract because it wouldn't give Barca the thin hope that they could pull a fast one but by all accounts Frenkie is being entirely sensible and saying "pay me if you want me to go".
It wouldn’t even be incompetence. It would be incredibly stupid, almost to the level that is simply incomprehensible.
Because if you tell your club you want to leave there are usually a number of penalties such as foregoing loyalty payments upon moving clubs, so in this case given it was deferred salary it would be reasonable to expect a similar penalty to apply those payments too. I would expect his agents are being very careful to act entirely within the lines of his contract.
I might have expected more assists, but even Carrick was pretty low.
The goals I agree is pretty much irrelevant
If you don't say it out loud, it can't be truePerhaps.
Or more daunting, he just really doesn't want to join us
Here comes the negative wave again
The latest offer. But who knows if it will be the final offer.
