He has to get his clicks in somehow I suppose. I mean, how often can he say the same thing and people believe it?

Probably more levers and Kounde on the way...
Not sure... not seen an update yet. Just things are happening. Might just be a dodgy tummy after some bad food though
Laporta ordered steak and taters at a big horn steak house in Miami NEWS EXCLUSIVE!
Laporta using de Jong as his personal servant until he agrees to leave. Tasks are becoming more degrading each day he refuses
Maybe he knows we are close to 1000 pages.
Closer than close

Could be Kounde, but I was under the impression that he was Chelsea bound? Then again if they're getting Kounde then surely an outgoing has to be around the corner. Maybe 2
53 pages more to go before things start happening.
So, what do our leading minds here believe the final gambit will be? Do Barca force FDJ to request a transfer, thereby presumably putting at risk the 17m?
No, I truly think that when this second lever money comes in they'll pay de Jong what he's asking and he'll move on. With the fee they get from him, they'll buy Silva as a replacement.
I'm afraid so, I think a poster established that it's related to every successful bowel movement he has.
Knew it. Must suffer from constipation daily and pops a dulcolax early evening. Then when things start happening he updates his followers
Not a bad idea, we should do this to half our squad.
I honestly don’t get why these players are desperate to sign for Barca. Surely they can’t be happy to sign a contract for half what they’ll make elsewhere?Tweet

I genuinely don't know. I do wonder whether players still see Barca as a huge alluring club with a fantastic city etc.
To play for them, money really can't be a deciding factor as, well, we all know why
Barca, Bayern, Real Madrid and PSG are desired clubs beyond wages because they are almost certain to win trophies, and also because the weather is a lot better (especially for Barca/Madrid). The one problem with having such an epic league in England is that players look at the clubs with a lot more uncertainty than they do elsewhere. Once you're earning a certain amount, you might give up say £20,000 a week more if it means you can live in a vibrant, sunny city.
There's also the consideration that some players may genuinely just not see themselves as "Premier League style" players.

Maybe he has IBS and that’s why it’s ‘happening’ so often. Ought to grab some Mebeverine and stop tweeting about it….

There we have it. Barca need players to leave before they can sign Kounde. They're asking him to have patience, that has to mean that they're working on certain outgoings
Apparently they have admitted they can’t match Chelseas offer for Kounde either, so if he signs for Barca they need investigating or something!
Personally I think they're desperate for de Jong to leave. Looks like he's holding up a few deals, for them now which must be pissing Laporta off, hence why he's getting Xavi to do his dirty work
What is Xavi doing? Surely if he's that peeved he does it himself?
Que the meltdown when it's Braithwaite to Aston Villa for 20 mill.
Wasn't there reports that Laporta was asking Xavi to basically tell de Jong that he has to leave and that he has no future at the club?
Ah must have missed that.
Muppet friend: Your words are like salve upon my battered muppet soul. You restored my belief and I shall fail my fellow muppets no more.
Yup, it was left up to him whether to take Frenkie on tour or not and he is said to have arrived in US this week and demanded the outgoings are speeded up.
May Frenkie be with you.
Yeah that's what I thought. I think the general thinking is that Frenkie Will listen to Xavi and realise the time is up. I truly do feel sorry for him. Imagine going to your dream club, doing all possible to help them during a pandemic then being shit upon because they want new toys and you're earning too much
Or maybe if they tried to not buy every player in the market and actually pay the poor bastard the £17million they owe him...
Bigger meltdown when its Depay to United for 30 quidsQue the meltdown when it's Braithwaite to Aston Villa for 20 mill.
Koundé is yet another reason why you’d think Barcelona would be willing to just cough up the 17m they owe De Jong. They’ve spent a feck tonne on transfers this summer, so apparently money is of no concern. So what’s 17m in the grand scheme of things if that’s the only thing holding up all this amazing business you’ve done/will do?
Why spend weeks persuading someone to forget about a relatively small amount of money that you legally owe him, knowing that every court in the land would side against you if you were to force the issue, when you’re pissing several times that amount up the wall on other players who you can’t even use until this apparently massive problem is dealt with? The whole thing is just such a catastrofeck that I can’t believe we’re seeing it.

What’s with all these “Frenkie looks sad and distant” reports , he’s owed 17m I’d be fuming too!
Not true things have happened, Barca have signed players left right and center.
Broke and deeply in debt Barcelona having the biggest transfer window in recorded human history.
Either they’re dumb as shit, or I am and there is something I don’t understand.
