Band of Brothers, Thief
Joan Laporta is such a slimeball.

Beautiful that despite all our financial woes we are still having a transfer window 100x better than Manchester United. And their star signing for the summer, still wants to stay here and not join their Europa League caliber club.
What a loser club .
Can't blame FDJ though. I mean who would want to join a has-been club who hasn't wont a league title in 10 years...soon to be more than 10 years lolll.
Not to mention whose greatest player of all time is currently boycotting the club and not wanting to be associated with these Europa League specialists.
Trash bin club.
I am wondering why players go there when they know they might not get paid.How the feck are Barca buying all these players? They've gone full muppet this window.
Bless their little hearts. Hopefully they'll still have a club to support in a few yearsHumble Barca fan:
I know its Barcelona but Laporta just made leaving him out as Xavi decision. Dont think Xavi would like to be dragged into this.
Yeah this will go silent until early August now, have to focus on enjoying the Martinez & Eriksen signings until thenDon't hold your breath on this one. Best to go on a summer holiday and check back into this thread at the end of the month.
My summer holiday is in Barcelona, I can't escape!Don't hold your breath on this one. Best to go on a summer holiday and check back into this thread at the end of the month.
Yeah usually if a deal is accepted then the selling club pull that player out of next matchday squad/tour to protect from injury.Well that’s the bizarre point. They accepted the deal, publicly want to throw him out and yet he’s still going on tour.
It’s all about paying him the money owed apparently but then if he goes on tour that’s at least 3 more weeks salary costing them a further million quid…..nothing makes sense.
Humble Barca fan:
Most loathsome and self-entitled/self-aggrandizing fanbase on the planet and it's not even close. Real fans are something and so are the Scousers but cules are a special breed of noxious cnuts ever since the Uefalona days. They masquerade as some holier than thou sacred institution while being even more corrupt and morally bankrupt than the fecking oil sugar daddy clubs.Humble Barca fan:
Yeah I don't get the feeling this is as nailed on as many claim. Getting serious PTSD flashbacks to the Sneijder and Fabregas sagas.I will bet my left nut this fecker doesn’t sign for Man United. I’m as certain of this as 95% of you are certain that he will sign.
Don’t know why exactly, just feel it in my bones. Of course I’m going to look like a prick if he does sign and my right nut will be very lonely but I’m sticking with it.
What do you think Mazhar, is Rob being speculative here?
Because Chelsea are well stocked in Midfield and are prioritizing defence (Koulibaly, Kimpepe, Ake, Kounde ??) and they also need to replace Lukaku and get a CF/Striker.
PSG got Veratti, who is a DLP, similar to De Jong, PSG just signed Vitinha, and might need a pure DM that would fit with Veratti+Vitinha, unless the new coach will play a 343 formation, and in that case they would not need someone like De Jong.
As Adnan stated here, the info is likely to be coming from Llorens and Marsden. I'm not surprised by this, though; we know well enough that Frenkie prefers to play for a Champions League club if he can't play for Barcelona, though that doesn't necessarily rule us out.I think he's probably got the additional information via Samuel Marsden and MoisESPN who cover Barcelona for the same outlet Dawson works for.
He's speculating, thats the right thing to say after a transfer and situation like thisTweet

Also a bullshitter isn't heTweet

It's a weird one. Logic suggests they have to sell him even if it means caving in and paying him his deferred salary. Logic suggests he would leave in that situation. But none of us is expert enough to know that for sure. They seem to be playing chicken with each other so it could just end in a huge car crash.Yeah I don't get the feeling this is as nailed on as many claim. Getting serious PTSD flashbacks to the Sneijder and Fabregas sagas.
I feel like his name was around a lot during the pogba saga, and never got much right or first to break anything.Also a bullshitter isn't he
It'd be different if they were headed into default (is administration the UK equivalent?) or something. But they just bought €100 m worth of players as they're telling him to go. Absolute kick in the teeth.Yeah, they're pretty much sh*tting on him and I wouldn't consider leaving without 100% of what I'm owed if I were him.
Definitely not a scouser at all.Humble Barca fan:
How reliable is this guy?Tweet

Bloody awfulHow reliable is this guy?
Is he? From what I saw, a lot of his predictions were pretty accurate.Bloody awful
He's way down the reliability scaleIs he? From what I saw, a lot of his predictions were pretty accurate.
so they are broke as fuk and won't pay the dude his back wages but will spend 100m on Lewandowski and Raphinha....no wonder Frenkie is telling them to piss off and pay him
supposedly wont be able to register new players, but it's barca so they will probably get some special exemption. like when la liga let them buy a player after the window closed.If Frenkie stays does that break Barca? Relegate them or what? Hate to admit, I'd be okay waiting to try and sign him if that's the case that there's some serious repercussion to it.
NoIf Frenkie stays does that break Barca? Relegate them or what? Hate to admit, I'd be okay waiting to try and sign him if that's the case that there's some serious repercussion to it.
Don't think they can get relegated. As far as I understand they won't be able to register new players. Hence all the new players they are signing will ineligible to play in La Liga as long as he stays. If I was him I'd stay put until they've paid everything that they owe him.If Frenkie stays does that break Barca? Relegate them or what?

No don't think so, thats why they let Messi go. Signing Braithwaithe was within the rules as they had several injured players. Doubt they will get off the hook here. They still have enough registered players to field a team.supposedly wont be able to register new players, but it's barca so they will probably get some special exemption. like when la liga let them buy a player after the window closed.
They can register them once their next financial transaction goes through.Don't think they can get relegated. As far as I understand they won't be able to register new players.

I mean, strictly speaking he is spitting facts aside of the 100x better transfer window thing.Humble Barca fan:
What will it take for him to see this isn't the same club he dreamed about playing for but a financial shitshowThey can register them once their next financial transaction goes through.
Barcelona's position on Frenkie is that he's simply not worth the money he's on and is their most saleable asset.
They're selling him because they want to. Not because they are forced to,
Share exactly these worries but certainly don't see Erik willing to give up on his top target, god knows how far Utd are willing to wait it out for him.We should have moved on so long ago. I don't care what the supposedly more patient posters think, it is honestly quite sad that we are willing to jeopardize our season on a player who is praying he doesn't have to come here. The money we are willing to spend on him would have gotten us a couple of players who would fight for the team and manager, while being an improvement to mcfred (which we all know isn't hard). I'm still hopeful of what ETH can do for us, but this obsession is got him starting off by leaving a bit of a sour taste.
But we'll see how it goes, at this point I really can't see him coming to United. Barca are not desperate and he has all the cards in his hands...
I think the idea is we pay it.Can't see how on earth he gets it
