You know what would break my heart......
If Berba actually doesn't post on the 1000 page.
When we get to 999 in about 20 minutes, we need to colletively stop posting so @Berbaclass can fill the 1000 page by himself.
It’$ an £’n my$t€ry
Maybe just leave one post reserved for a newbie called @therealfrenkiedejong telling us he's coming.
Who's gonna make the account?

Deferred wages =/= deferred payments
I.e not a case of “you made 12m this year, but you will only be paid 3m, the rest you’ll be paid over the course of the next 3 years”. That would have made this a lot simpler from a legal point of view, Frankie could just leave and claim his wages (if he wanted to leave).
Instead it is “you will only earn 3m this year. The difference vs. what you originally earned will be made up (earned) over the course of the next 3 years”. That’s a whole lot different! Then he doesn’t have such solid legal ground to stand on. The circumstances (an easily documentable prior contract amended due to Covid) might help him, but I could well see Barca winning through in a court case if Frenkie were to claim the 17m paid in full upon leaving the club.
In any case it’s a fairly complicated transfer and I can see why it’s taking time!
Genius!
Hope it's sorted one way or the other. This would drive you bonkers. Move on and get SMS in this week.
So close to 1000 pages, we can almost taste it!
Have we been linked? How has he been the last few seasons?
Are we there yet?
Big week this week, keep the faith muppets!
Welcome to the pleasure dome.
Paste it?! Oh sorry. My bad. As you were
Putting myself in his shoes on matter of finances....Am I correct to understand that either:
1) He signs for United and lose on deferred wages as this is a result of negligence on his legal team side. With united I assume we won't be paying him more than 300-350K a week gross?
2) or he stays with Barcelona and take a pay cut but still makes 400K euros gross and signs a new contract (given 20m figure floating around)...and pretty much forget about the deferred wages
So given he will earn the same with either club, its a personal and professional decision...
Live the amazing life style Barcelona has to offer or enjoy that life style but play as a CB or a second choice in midfield?

SMS would play the role Mctominay/DVB have been playing surely? He’d be great next to FDJ but I’d be astounded if he’s seen as a replacement target.
Tonight we're gonna party like it's page nine hundred and ninety nine
We're nearly there lads. 1000 pages and the lever is activated 
Channelling my inner eminem this morning:

I've voted Hang in there until EtH pulls the plug - of course.
But it definitely isn't happening.

He also has an option 3) Stay at Barcelona and refuse to take a pay cut.
He could very well do that, I think Barca would likely blink though and pay him to go.
We just need to see what this week brings
Well it could happen.
Barcelona has actually been pretty helpful all along this saga, still don't get why people are not admitting the obvious. De Jong is the one holding up the deal, if he agrees to leaving Barca today, they would come to an agreement regarding the deferred wages quite swiftly I believe, Utd might even pitch in just to get him to sign quickly.
Barcelona as much of a dick as they are for the way they are treating the guy, have been very helpful to United's interest all through this saga, in fact without them behaving the way they are, we probably have no shot at this signing at all.

I don't think we talked about this "plug" Erik needs to pull....
Does it have a little pink heart at the end?
Is it silicone treated?
What lube do we need to use?
So many questions....

Relax, the power of love will result in maximum joy.
Either that or we can all stay in here watching the wildlife rage hard.
Should we leave the first post of page 1000 for @Berbaclass ??
Would be nice, but I can't see the muppets controlling themselves
There seems like "thou shall not pass 998" invisible barrier here.
He needs to plug holes, not pull plugs.
But yes, it definitely has a little pink heart at the end.
Yeah, we've been on this page forever
Sure feels like it... May the quiet time here at work last just a little longer
I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin'
Could've sworn it was deadline day
The sky was all oranje
There were muppets postin' everywhere
Tryin' to walk away from Frenkie
Berbaclass didn't even care
Say, say, 2022-23, window over
Oops, out of time?
So tonight I'm gonna party like Frenkie signed on time

Definitely it is NOT on purpose.
Just so everyone’s aware, my sources have told me that as soon as this thread hits 1000 United will release a video on social media that starts with the number 1000. The zeroes will begin to fade until just the 1 is left, at which point it will turn into a giant lever. The lever will then morph into a middle finger, and as the camera zooms out Frenkie will be shown flipping off Laporta. The words “Stick that in your shitters, you bunch of cnuts” will splash across the screen and Xavi is shown in the background being dunked into a vat of acid.
Big day today?
