no fuking chance we move on until Frenkie comes out and says NO i'm not moving and the transfer window closes....this is a midfielder that could transform this team

This thread's great. People who come in here looking for real news miss the whole point of muppetry.

Exactly... this thread is the definition of muppetry, makes me sad that so many are dropping out :(

Still, we have the muppet king here with us, so all is good

It's not happening; with the rise in interest rate (always bad news for anyone or anything with debt), they won't sign B.Silva, meaning they won't sell DeJong. Apparently, Xavi would only let DeJong go if Laporta signs Silva.

Eh what?

Barca have proven this summer that they don't really give a crap and will sign whoever they want regardless. Sign now, pay later, or never... signing? What signing? We never made a signing?!?

You kind of forget it's about football. Strange thing, really. It's like a group of pals meeting up in a park or something and just having a laugh.

But isn't that what it's all about? Having a laugh, discussing transfers and just making new friends along the way? Sounds like a good time to me!

Exactly. That's what forums are all about for me, especially ones like this that have been around for years and years.

I've been here since 2014, but only posted sporadically. I lurked a lot and followed a lot of sagas, even got involved in some, but this one is the first I've been truly invested in. (Dybala one kinda too). Enjoyed every minute of it and whether he signs or not I'm here till the end

When the feck did Memphis suddenly become part of the equation?? :lol: :lol:

Not too sure but I do recall People saying Barca want Memphis out too, so people think maybe we can take both off them.

I'd happily take Memphis back as I think under ten Hag he'd do great

That’s just a rehash of nonsense from earlier in the window

first part is untrue evidenced by the fact that we’ve signed 3 others

yes,ETH wants this player and it will be late. So what? Not every signing is going to be done in an ideal timeframe, the world doesn’t work to ideals 100%. That’s why on the last day you’ll still see multiple clubs making last minute buys. Otherwise we’d buy everyone in the first week and we could shorten the window right?

I commend your positivity. I’d have preferred a different approach to transfers from the last 8 summers but hope I’m wrong this summer.

This one is certainly one of the most special sagas where you don't even know what to hope for and the point of view changes every week.
I'm not as invested as I've been in other sagas, like Thiago or Fabregas, boy those were filled with pure passion.

Now, I think we need a destroying, reactive DM the most, and Frenkie is not that. Surely, he'd be an upgrade at CM to Eriksen/McTominay/VDB but it's quite clear that he doesn't really want to come.
I'll be happy if he signs but I don't feel like our season depends on it.
