Surely when he agreed to defer his wages there must have been something in writing making it clear by when they would have to pay him back?

Not sure why it's holding up the deal with us anyway. Stay or leave, he is still legally entitled to the money.

As is customary in our annual megathread:

Can’t believe I am in the European places. I suspect the majority of my posts came earlier in the thread, before the Romero news broke. Pretty much me saying he was a dream signing.

Credit to @Berbaclass for a tremendous effort.

And a special shoutout to @croadyman for 340 ‘So do you think he will join us?’ replies to everyone.

Strewth!!! Its because he doesn't really want to leave Barca and we are the only ones daft enough to try to interfere in a private argument, where we will become the 'aunt sally'.
Both Barca and FDJ are using us... nothing has really changed inside our club, what motivates the signing of a man mired in arguments with his current employer, but who reportedly still says he would rather stay, then goes off on holiday before finalising his terms with us. Sorry but Mr De Jongs attitude towards United is ... well, depressing at least!

Who was the last good signing we made who has proved his worth.... my view it was RVP, since then nothing! VP left his first love Arsenal but was honest enough to admit he came to us for the glory of winning the PL.

It was coined in the 60's by the 32nd President of the club and doesn't explicitly mean what most people think it means.
Most people know exactly what it means, and the political stance and meaning behind it.

It’s been a long long time since the meaning held any weight or meaning for Barcelona FC or for Catalan rights, especially for the past two decades as they have completely sold out the club, it’s now nothing more than a bullshit marketing slogan.

This thread is so tedious now :lol:

I already know what's coming each day

"Mes Que un Club lol"

"Just pay Barca what they want. Also, pay De Jong what he's owed from Barca, and move on,"

"FdJ has been underwhelming, anyway. Just get Tielemans."

"Levers"

"See? He said they're not selling him."

"He doesn't want to come"

"It's over. Move on"

"Get a grip. It's just politics"

"I'm getting (insert here) Maria vibes"

"He's not a DM."

Yes but can you honestly tell me you're not getting massive Santa Maria vibes from this?

I don’t think there’s an issue. Again clubs don’t get to this point without everything being sounded out. How often do you see a deal collapse due to personal terms?!
Rarely, but its United, so I cannot discount anything at the moment. A weird deal this.
