yes, because thats exactly how the conversation went. "You have to leave, but we have no legal ground, but still you MUST leave"
That's just pressure through the press on Frenkie to decide in the right direction, nothing more.
rational thoughts:
They just explained to him his current situation, that he isn't an undisputed starter anymore. Xavi has for his system more fitting players and he earns too much money, because Bartomeu gave him a contract way above market value, which cripples the club on the transfer market. So Frenkie has to decide now, what he wants to do. His agent wants his transfer fee, barca wants him out so the pressure on Frenkie is big, but still the decision is his in the end and he will decide now, maybe over the weekend.
Would be typical for us if we can somehow get him in before our first league game, he sets the world alight with his performances in the first 4 or 5 games a la Pogba last season and then gets injured until the start of World Cup.
In the mud
back under their rocks no doubt!
So the extra 10m guaranteed is to cover some of the 17m owed in deferred wages?
Cheers fella, please never post again.
You're probably right because it would take too long to build the elevator.
The only green smiley I need is the one your mum gives me when I pop it in her ringpiece.
You know, because of the Kermit costume she puts on if I beg her enough.
Laporte will have to do the Jedi mind trick on him to make him forget his money
Must leave now you shall
But I assume we are probably going splits on the cash he’s owed with Barca to speed this up. He’s a potential WC 100 million plus player if he gets back to his best. Hopefully also the end of McT as a regular starter. That’s worth the extra few quid alone. Oooh such a tasty signing.

All im trying to say is that there is a point of contention due to the deferred wages. Thats why Barca isn't paying Frenkie what is "owed" to him. They'd likely have to come to a compromise or waste money going to court.
Stay in the newbies section please. And go out and support another club.
Are you calling Australians lazy?
Get bent narc
Everyone stop right now, Saint Jonez said he's a mercenary! Abort
This post belongs to fan-cam accounts on Twitter. I don't think it'll get you the agreeable attention you think it will.
Probably best to delete and never talk off it again
Thanks for that.
You seem a touchy fella. Who do you support? Wonder if you can reply before @golden_blunder hammer comes down?
Big Daddy Arnold strolled into town on Monday and slapped a suitcase of used £50 notes on the table. ‘Done dealio’ he sneered and strode out again to go school Edwin……
Whats this? A positive tweet from a reliable journo
Right now I'm in full muppet mode. But once the dust settles, there are indeed some questions that needs to be adressed. For now though, I choose to trust ETHs judgement on thisIt must be weird signing a player for loads of money that doesn't want to leave his club. Obviously they've now broke his heart but I do wonder how that will impact him mentally.
Barca area obviously trying to weasel out of it. I'm not sure they would if they didn't think they legally could?
they absolutely owe him....it was deferred wages from during the pandemic years. they asked the same from Ter Stegen, Alba and Pique
Oh god no. They're actually quite energetic and focused when they do their normal Aussie things like steal stuff or shag kangaroos.
Saint Jones? Phillip, is that you?! Don’t be bitter guy, just empty your locker and move on…..
That's fair and understandable. Although the same thing was said when ADM joined us because the Real fans had turned on him and people said he'd be loved here etc. Don't mean to be negative but I just get the exact same vibe from this. ETH will be key no doubt.
Its like when people say never meet your idols.
Don't play for your dream club cos they cnuts.

Of course, I should have known.
How is Pogba a mercenary or his situation remotely similar to De Jong’s?
I mean they legally can if he agrees to forgo it.
You might end up being right. I felt the same way about Ronaldo and took a pasting for suggesting it would end up bringing the team down. The difference is we have a world class coach who nurtured this borderline world class young player with his best years ahead. This signing should most likely be a big hit.
Got to say im a little disappointed we are paying so much for him.
57m was first reported but now its 63m base?

I like Manchester, uh. I like the people, uh!.
In fairness its not the same club it was 5 - 10 years ago. Just like we aren't anymore.
Thank god, I was worried you were being offensive.
Yeah you’re not jealous at all
Hasn't he already done that by signing a new contract with the new wages? He's agreed a lower wage and barca want to sell before his higher wage kicks in
Sounds promising.
But i'm gonna hold off until August 30th when we probably finalise it.

that is the main issue holding up the transfer....the back wages owed. He doesn't get them if he leaves.
oh to be a fly on the wall for those discussions between Barcelona and Frenkie's camp.
De Dongs out?
