I’ve some terrible news for you ….
Meant figuratively. I doubt they are there sitting in hotels, waiting. Maybe they should. What I am glad is that they have shown themselves to be willing to strike a balance between economics and competitiveness in football-side.
You’ll get them tonight
Huh? Fred will become one of ETH's favourites, he's a pressing machine.
Frenkie and Freddie, midfield match made in heaven!
If you opened your eyes you’d see that he’s been a major part of any good result we’ve gotten over the last 3 years
What do Tancredi Palmeri and IndyKaila say about the transfer? Only ITKs you can trust.
This is going to the end of the window. At which point Barca and us will agree to share paying the outstanding wages he’s owed in order to facilitate a transfer.
Mejbri is a midfielder, the rest are not good enough
No way this happens. It's pretty clear really. Now that Barcelona are out of the picture we have two options. We believe the UK media that De Jong wants to come and, therefore, personal terms wouldn't be an issue. Or, if believe the Spanish media, De Jong never even wanted the move so no need to waste everyone's time.
Obviously, we would want to have a deep mid at some point before the start of the season, which is in 3 weeks, so no way this drags on for long now.
Clue me in please, is the issue that if he leaves Barca he gives up on the dosh he's owed?
Onda Cero is a fairly reliable Spanish radio station. Must be noted though, Spanish not Catalan. So won't take it as gospel but nevertheless a good sign.
Tier 3 so no. Unless it's Alfredo-someone from OndaCero, who is tier 1. Not in this case though.
We should not pay his salary for the first three months or so. He'd love us because of it.
I expect him to miss the bus to the airport tomorrow.
Would make him feel at home.
Yeah I don't know about these Tiers. I lived a fair few years in Barcelona, so know Onda Cero is a pretty decent radio station for Spanish news.
Nope .... 100% certified rodent
Fred is gonna be nailed on to start mate
What’s most surprising is that you see Varane managing ten league games this season
Airport? Barca can’t afford flights. They are having their preseason via zoom
Tier 1 if it’s good news and tier 4 if it isn’t. I don’t make the rules.
So Barca has basically told him that he has no future at the club, and they'd like him sold? If so, he must really love them to want to stay. I mean he can flat out refuse to go obviously... but am sure he won't be liked
Do you really think we would have taken it this far if we hadn’t had received reassurances from him?
ETH has a good relationship with him and there’s no reason why he’d be screwing over a coach he likes and respects. He’d come flat out and say thanks but no thanks boss.
its down to the money owed and Barca will buckle in the end.
No chance, imagine being pinned against the wall by Murtough's hammy fists as he shouts in your face, his breath honking of cheap tapas and Mahou whilst Arnold pretends he's seen something interesting out the window. Deal will be done tonight.
Well he did last season...
No chance it takes that long. We`ve completely finalized things with Barcelona now the player left. De Jong may well drag his heels but it will take a week max for a resolution because Barca themselves want him out even if it means forcing the issue
I can’t lie, there’s a part of me that will laugh a lot of he somehow fails to get a work permit after all of this
Why would he fail to get a permit?
Brexit means Brexit!
Getting di Maria vibes from this.
No.No it wouldn't.
Who are all these random dickheads tweeting bollox. I'd just go off our tier 1 people.
Agreement reached with Barcelona.
No personal terms agreed yet.
Obviously he's open to a reach around because we wouldn't have chased for so long, he's been constantly sending dick pics to EtH or the other way around, by all accounts.
That's my understanding anyway..
Oh, and he wants his fecking money. Which would appear to have been substantially funded by yours truly to appease both the manager and the fans.

It would, you know it would. Laughing at yourself/your own team is good for you
Exactly my thoughts. Frenkie de Jong also seems like an honest down to earth person in his interviews so i dont think he would screw ETH over by saying yes and doing no.
It's weird how people take it personally when someone points out Fred doesn't fit into this new-look ETH side. I don't see him working as a double pivot with FDJ and feel that when Fred is playing his best, he's playing proactively a lot further forward. I just see our options pushing him down the pecking order.
