They need to handover their financial plans to la Liga on the 30th July. They will be some creative accounting and overly optimistic revenue projections for sure.

The economic projections are made by LaLiga based on the revenues of previous years and new contracts signed as Spotify.
 
It's possible that he's MORE interested now. But I don't believe for a second that we've contacted his agent who has said "he doesn't want to join" and we've proceeded to go "feck it, lets bid anyway"

To be fair, it could've been:

1) Frenkie informs Ten Hag he has no interest in playing in Europa League and loves Barca
2) Barca needs to sell to realize their plans and encourages United to submit a bid
3) Barca uses the bid as an excuse to push Frenkie out the door
4) Frenkie reluctantly accepts he has to 'downgrade' while there's a chance
 
If its true Barca are 100% forcing him out no way they'll be taking him on tour.
That would be giving him hope that if he stays all will be well eventually.
 
United is cursed when it comes to transfers and it will take a Muppetry sacrifice, in the form of a 1000 page saga on this thread, to lift it.

Source : The same one that Liverpool supporters referred to on their 30 year drought.

Result : We need to hold the fort and get this thread to 1000 pages before mid day tomorrow. Muppets assemble !
 
You never know what it true from the outside, but if it is the case that Barca tries to force him out, he still does not want to come to us but we want him at all cost and got no alternative then this is embarrassing on all 3 accounts.

Ridiculous.
 
Ducker: "MUFC was given the green light from FDJ's camp to keep negotiating the deal"

Stone: "FDJ doesn't want to leave without a deal sorted"

Romano: "I never said he didn't want to join MUFC"

Redcafe: "This is embarrassing, why are we chasing a player that hates MUFC"

:wenger: :wenger:

TBF, I get the impression both clubs are pushing journo's to put out their sides to force things.

Amazing how its almost a 50/50 split in that the English / British journo's are stating he's United bound pending deferred wages / personal terms, Spain side its he's refusing to leave / doesn't want to join United.
 
You're the one claiming to be ITK

No I’m not. I don’t have Twitter I don’t going round reporting news. I just have some insight on this topic.

Maybe you just grow up and stop treating everyone like some internet dweeb chasing clout.
 
What is this with de jong agent informing us to back off.
Is this from any reliable source?
I seriously hope we have confirmation that he want to come.
Otherwise this will become the biggest blunder in United transfer history. Right after: Pogba, De Maria, Fabregas....... Ahh guess it will just be another one :-)
 
Sign that contract you motherfecker. Can't you see weve wheeled McFred out again.

How do you know Bellingham has agreed to join Liverpool?

His people have been letting it out the bag and I’ve heard about it.

Also notice his whole family was at the Champions league final. Doesn’t mean much (If I’m trying to convince people I’m an ITK) but he could of watched it at home.
 
Just some thoughts on this.

If it were you, you made a sacrifice to restructure your wages to help the club and now they try to screw you over and throw you out the door without paying all those back wages, would you willingly help them again by leaving or would you double down and demand they either pay the back wages or you will stay? Hard to infer anything into this more than that. He may or may not have wanted to come, but that is all irrelevant now as 17 million pounds are at stake here. He could just stay and screw them over by taking the back wages and leaving on a free and sign even higher wages at the end of his contract. I don't see anything wrong with this. He has the moral high ground AND the bargaining leverage. Barca will lose their transfer plans and they also cannot afford to pay so much to someone to just bench him in the reserves for the whole season.

It also isn't unreasonable for Man Utd to know that FDJ is getting shafted and offering him somewhere to go which he is open to joining, but pending the back wages being resolved. Unfortunately, it now doesn't look like it will be resolved, which means the deal will likely fall through. Really not an issue of the club that Barca are run by right real pricks. Now it's a question of how desperate Barca will get and if they can broker a compromise deal with FDJ after all this bad blood. I'm pretty sure Man Utd already put a deadline on this and will move on if this isn't resolved by then. If they do, then fair play and they tried their best. Move on and get other targets. Put this circus behind us.

Seems like a bit of a leap to assume he has agreed to join, but who knows!

Not really. Sancho agreed to join us well before it happened. Grealish too. But this is football. Things can change… Liverpool could peruse someone else. Bellingham might like a pitch we give him now that we are back in the Champions league and ETH just missed out on the title in his first season :lol:
