Well judging by their previous posts in this thread I'd agree there.

Have you considered going to work for United. We could do with someone who can turn complex negotiations into primary school level thinking. Game changer.
no wonder the negotiations are taking so long if they've got murtough held at Gunpoint
Many here are cursed with the dunning-kruger effect.
The transfer experts are worse than the coaching analysts.
'Yeah that's great pal, but if you're so fecking good and negotiating multimillion-pound deals, why are you working in a fecking call centre?'

What time shall I set my alarm tonight?
I assume he’s talking about when we’ve played them in the CL
What a twit,why doesn't he bother to say what else they've been talking about,God these journo's are boring as feck.
What else would we be talking about if it ain't FDJ, do they want a loan from us?

This analysis of Frenkie’s play at Ajax vs Barca is quite troubling. He’s quite poor defensively in La Liga, whereas he wasn’t at Ajax. There is a major gap in effectiveness vs Veratti, Thiago and Kante. He’s still elite in ball progression, but he’s been abysmal defensively. The fact that none of the other big clubs want him is definitely a red flag.
Hopefully Ten Hag can get the best out of him.

Probably Dest
All Dest has over Dalot is pace, otherwise they are both a freeway on defense.
Swapping stories about pissing away money
Can’t think who else we may have chatted about
Maybe with us selling to them? Telles probably as they are looking for a backup left back.
They're talking about Pogmentary.
Sergio Roberto?. Play centre mid and Right back
Preferably not.
He's been a bit annoying as a journalist of late. I think he's trying to say something without saying too much but he comes across as a "I know something you don't" sort of tit.
They were linked with Telles before, we have a long standing interest in Fati - supposedly amd there was the Araujo rumour before he renewed. They're also trying to flog anyone, so I imagine they're touting anyone they can around europe.
He just renewed his contract didn't he?
Always does. I can't bear listening to him for too long as he always tries to come across as knowledgeable when he really knows feck all most of the time. Also the way he often tries to portray the most obvious things as some kind of insiderknowledge is irritating.
This keeps coming back every ten pages or so. Those stats lack context and the interpretation of those stats is poor.
His defensive stats at Barca are shit, because he plays like an 8, an attacking midfielder.
At Ajax (and Holland) his defensive stats are better because he plays in front of the defense, as a no 6 (be it a single or double pivot), which is his best position according to ETH, LVG and anyone who's followed his career somewhat.
The reason he benefits by playing with another holding midfielder is that he has more freedom to be creative, invite the press, beat the press and take risks in possession. It's not because he's a luxury player that cannot defend.
Because the club likely doesn't want him to disclose that info yet. The reliable journos stay reliable because they have a direct line from the clubs. You disclose more than they ask you to, you risk losing that source for good.
Has Wesley Sneijder signed yet, sorry I mean De Jong.......Fast forward to 2027 and we are still being linked with De Jong
I have heard they want to sell Memphis too…
No, that’s only you.

It’s all gonna kick off at 2000 BST. Be prepared for a late one
2 hours is more than enough to close the gap of £12m I guess
Very specific! I will make sure I will be here for then
can't wait@Jaae deserves some kind of recognition if he turns out to be right on this one. If he’s winding us up, what will his punishment be?
Yes! If he's right deserves something, if a wind up some destruction.
I am thinking, we are 12m short, maybe we could just give them Martial....
Think they'd rather the cash
God damn it
Here we go again. At Barça, Frenkie is playing in front of Busquets and Pedri as an attacking midfielder. At Ajax he was dm or lcm.
One of those funky depay for martial swap deals which gives them 240m on the books seems fair.
