Maths not a strong point I see. 25% of 39584 is 9896. Myself and @Brownie85 are on a combined 2181 which is about 5.5%. Nice to have a bit of recognition though.

a) Of course I am not. I was wondering if maybe your shift in here is taking its toll on you. Interpreting what happens in this thread as "people losing their shit" to me could be sign of wear and tear.
b) What would you say, how many posts have you made in here today? I wouldn't label that level of commitment as confident - but my language skills are very limited so theres that. And by the way, other people have been asked to take a break as well. Seems to be place where people care for each other.
Lets just please not repeat that shitty circle from a year ago, where we had the same beginnings... "you are soooo negative", "nooooo you are toooo positive" . It is starting already, and your description of people sharing their concerns as losing their shit and melt downs isn't really steering things in calmer waters.
It’s very unlikely that Barça actually owe him the money, it’s more likely the contract is structured so that he will earn the higher wages towards the tail end of his contract. In which case he hasn’t actually earned the money yet.
Nothing more degrading than cleaning Laporta`s messy toilet after way too much paella to be fair.
This one's dead, ladies. He's literally willing to forgo millions to stay at Barca. Time to move on.
Aye, I’m with you. We’re on the home straight now I reckon. Seems Barca are upping the ante. He’ll be ours soon enough.
Wrong. He already deferred a large percentage of his wages due to low revenues as a result of covid.
No wummming allowed mate!
It was meant as a compliment to your commitment. Thanks for providing the actual numbers, If I had known, those are available, I promise, I would have used the correct ones. 2000 posts in a single thread is delivering my message just as well.
Where can I find those numbers?
Why are they calling it deferred wages then? If that was the case, surely it would be reported as a backloaded contract?
Can I ask honestly why you still think he's coming? Have we heard anything positive regarding this move in the last few weeks?
It certainly looks like it doesn’t it. I said the same thing last week and was hounded for it.
a) people saying the transfer is dead and that the club and manager should be ashamed because of wasting their time on a transfer, just because of a tweet, mistranslated from looking satisfied to looking happy. That caused a lot of people to say it's over and we should walk away.
b) why does it matter how many posts I've made in here today? I'm enjoying the conversation and discussion and have no intention of going anywhere. I'm sure if the mods had an issue with my posts or the amounts I'm posting, they'd tell me to stop or quiet down a little.
He's been told he will be a bench CB, in complete contradiction to his own statement about how LVG plays him better than Xavi, he's been told by Xavi and Laporta that he will have to lock in permanent wage cuts, lose his COVID pay reduction and balloon payments, and try to make a World Cup squad getting 20 mins every few weeks as a CB sub.
yet some of you are taking the word of a Tier 5 has barca gospel to argue he's happy to stay? Seriously, why are you here to post? At this point it has to be pure WUM.

Or commiseration plaques. Who knows? No one. No one knows for sure.Outstanding services to muppetry.
There will be commemoration plaques for sure.
Can’t or won’t? Barcelona can afford to pay Frenkie what they agreed to pay him. The problem is that they no longer want him at the wages they signed him up for.
Frenkie of course can sign a new deal to cut his wages in half, but there’s still the problem of the club no longer wanting him.
Don't think, people coming in here to share their stance is only due to this single tweet. Probably more connected to a few more people in the tweet being active arguing with the majority position on here. I wouldn't expect all people to not know how twitter news are handled, most of them know that just as much as you do. Well and you have explained it around 15 times only today
Tbf, it seems to be multiple sources saying that he's satisfied to take a pay cut.
If he still wants to stay at Barcelona, I fear his brains are like Griezmann’s and there’s not enough cells to power an LED bulb.
Such as?
If you have an issue with me and my posts, feel free to ignore because it sounds like you're just going for a personal attack now on me rather than my postsDon't think, people coming in here to share their stance is only due to this single tweet.

Have a look on twitter.
Sure. Simply because we have heard ‘nothing‘ at all in the last few weeks. The last meaningful update from trusted UK sources like Ornstein was that we had agreed a deal with Barca. Granted we still had to agree with the player but the price and structure of the deal is in place. It’s my belief that we wouldn’t have got that far without sounding out the player first to make sure he was up for the move. Especially as the manager has a previous and personal relationship with this particular player.
Since then all we’ve had is regurgitation of the same bs - mostly emanating from a Spanish source(sport) that is a Barca mouthpiece and itself has flip flopped and contradicted its own stories more than I can remember.
Until we hear that either club have pulled out, or Frenkie himself puts an end to it I have no reason to believe it won’t happen when all the pointers go in one direction, that Frenkie cannot stay at Barca.
No thanks
All linking back to the same one source I bet
He’s the poster child of daft footballers.What's Griezmann got to do with anything?
Such an odd saga this one…there has been nothing to get excited about for about the last 300 pages haha.
Whole lot of denial happening on here it seems. Ignoring the negative stories about him not joining us doesn't make them fake. Who should we go for instead?
Fair enough. Personally I think we haven't heard anything because he's staying at Barca and is just trying to figure out how to make it work.
Yup - very quiet indeed.
At least we'll see an end to this soon.
All recent reports suggest Xavi has had the conversation with FDJ, God knows why it's taken him so long. This coming week we'll know if he's staying or coming.
Personally I've lost hope, there's just too many red flags and negative reports.

Could be, but I hope you’re wrong.
No issue whatsoever, but as we speak about going personal. I am sure you understand why such posts aren't received well.
If this is going to happen, it’s going to go all the way to the end of the window. Barca don’t want to back down and pay him what he owes and obviously he doesn’t want to lose out either.
Knowing Barca, they will do some ridiculous deal like pay him €1m a year for 17 years.

We had a fantastic updated rewrite of 'Stan' a good few pages back.
Speak for yourself, most people seem to have fun
The ignore button is getting a work out this sagaNo thanks
it boggles the mind so many people want to come in here and say "saga over whose next" and when you press them on it you get the "do your own twitter research" - Status
