That’s you personally, plenty feel different. I’d prefer to be closer to Wales, the Peaks and the Lake District.

Frenkie is waiting for page 1000 and then he will announce his never ending love for redcafe.
I'm getting to the stage where I'm getting fed up with this. I know I still want him to join deep down but at the same time I am think. Feck it off and get someone else... arghh
A lot of the Chelsea players don’t even live in london anyway. They live in Cobham and other surrounding parts of surrey also.
It’s right on the M25 so easy to get into London but you get the peace and quiet also.
Anyway, im really not sure FDJ cares where he lives, it seems more partner driven
No no noooo he's waiting for @Berbaclass to reach 2000 posts in this thread. He refuses to join until this condition is met
Apparently Barca are going to activate their second lever very soon. Perhaps I'm saying this more in hope than expectation but I wonder if that could help bring about a resolution to this saga.
Perhaps, but I feel that if FDJ does leave Barca, he's already agreed that it will be to us. ETH seems too set on FDJ to have not been given some kind of assurance by either player or agent. Most probably the player himself given their previous relationship.
It could be Barca spin to try and get United to help push a deal over the line... panic us into telling FDJ to forget what Barca owe because we'll up the signing fees to compensate him. I doubt United will do that... certainly not anywhere near to the extent of the money allegedly owed.
Maybe it is genuine interest and Chelsea are just trying their luck. The world and his wife knows there is something shady going on between Barca and FDJ... his agent probably doesn't need to put out fake stories to drum up interest.
The fact that barely any interest from any other team has been reported throughout all of this feels like a good indication that anyone ringing his agent has been told it is already move to United or stay at Barca.
Laporta will be pulling his lever all day tomorrow in the hope that something comes out.
It’ll help them with Kounde.
FdJ played his best football under EtH and he knows exactly what EtH want to achieve with him at United. I think he is more than excited to do that if he have to leave Barca.
The saga continues…
It's quite possible it will. It'll certainly give them the money to pay what de Jong is owed and then get him off their books. So i'd imagine it's a win win for them. Whether they see it like that though
They'll use that money to sign Kounde
Nice.
Can we stop with this “lever” bollocks.
Barça is soon about to receive their second pay day loan, thus missing out on up to 2bn + of future revenue.
Lots will happen now with this new pay day loan and the La Liga 30 June date. Not long to wait.
You’re only now getting to that stage? Impressive perseverance.
how? you do realise what the m25 is right?The first and second part of that sentence don’t compute
I used to live in Fulham mate, I know what the fecking ring road is… a shite carpark.
So the Mail On Line ( vomits in mouth ) state from xenophobic, Spanish, sources, that he doesn't fancy UTD because it's "run erratically"? I mean what the f*ck constitutes good practice at Barcelona? They're an absolute shite show.
Until he ( the player ) explicitly says that's the case, it's nothing more than a narrative waiting to be qualified. Nature abhors a vacuum, and so does tabloid journalism irrespective of country, or affiliation.

Romano saying that Chelsea would consider FDJ if his stance on leaving Barca changes, Chelsea have spent just shy of 100M Euros at this point though.
They don't need to sell him anymore once that is activated, so I'm hoping a firm "it's not happening" comes out so we can put this to bed.
If that were the case do you seriously think they'd have been pushing for his sale this hard up until now?
Did Melissa and Mane break up and that's why she's a United fan now? 
They've got 200-250m under FFP.
They’ll be able to buy it back and you can’t underestimate how big of a brand Barca are. They’ll be fine long term, but Laporta is certainly rolling the dice a bit. Every time there is a horror story of a massive club being dead for the foreseeable future it rarely happens.
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't they receiving quite a substantial amount? As in, more than enough to sign Kounde?
Have you seen the wages they pay, though
?Yeah, this is a decent summary of both club's overall attractiveness to de Jong. We can't underplay how big a deal ten Hag is, here. He can also make Frenkie look much better and become one of the first names in the Netherlands' team sheet for the upcoming World Cup. He won't have that guarantee at Barcelona.
I'm only using the phrase "lever" as that is how it's been commonly referred to in the press. I don't know the ins and outs of it, frankly.
Because of the the Roman sanctions situation, and the subsequent take over and all the fluctuations in the playing squad I’m not sure they are. It’s a pretty fluid and unpredictable club to join at the moment and that may put some off regardless of all the points you listed.
It probably is BS. But you can definitely argue Barca have a higher ceiling than United and have had more recent success as well.
Reports are suggesting Kounde wouldn't be getting over 7 million a year at Barca. I guess it remains to be seen if there's any truth to them.Have you seen the wages they pay, though
Time to move on… we’re desperate for midfielders let de Jong and Barca f them selves. We want players who’ll jump at the chance to join us… not players that have to be persuaded to join us! Players who actually want to be here and make a name for themselves will give 110% in every match!
It was a joke, mate
Of course they wouldn’t get involved unless they had a yes from the player as well…
Erm, no they won’t.
Ah gotcha. The lines have very much become blurred for me considering the things I've seen said seriously throughout the forum.It was a joke, mate
