Frenkie de Jong | The last muppeting lap

[Brownie85]

Just sat down hoping to digest a load of updates and there’s only about 2 pages … ffs lads.

Weekend man... everyone is out doing real life stuff. I mean, who the hell has time for that when theres a Frenkie signing going on?

Muppets... they don't make them as they used too! (I can't talk, was my Birthday yesterday and only popped on a few times haha)

 

[Godfather]

Any chance this will be done before our season starts? Highly unlikely I guess?

Happy birthday brownie!

 

[Luffy]

7 + Ten = 17

This is so ON.

 

[Brownie85]

Happy birthday brownie!

Thanks pal!

This will absolutely be fine before the season starts. Barca are playing their last tour match tomorrow and then I think we will see movement. They want Bernardo and need to register Raphina, Kounde and Lewa.

???

???

We increased our up front cost by 10m

 

[Chief123]

So La Liga starts on the 13th? When do they need to register the players?

1st September.

 

[Plant0x84]

We increased our up front cost by 10m

Derrrrr! Sorry, tired and under the weather. That one didn’t compute at all!

 

[Cassidy]

1st September.

They have to do it before then if they want them to play in August

 

[Red Company]

[Chief123]

Of course, but they have until that date to register players for la liga.

Might be on to something there, Luffy.

 

[Random Task]

He's a reputable journo and reports on how the game is governed along with the business side of the sport.

Okay, thanks for that.

Let's hope he's on to something with this tweet and we get this transfer resolved before the new season kicks off.

 

[el3mel]

How this signing is still not done yet is beyond me.

 

[joedirt87]

because barcelona wanted it that way.

As if your birthday fell on Frenkie Friday! Lucky git! Happy birthday mate

Happy birthday Brownie! Sorry we missed it.

 

[Regulus Arcturus Black]

Know you have been confident since the start so gonna put you on the spot. Will he be signed in time for scouse showdown on Aug 20.

Not a chance for me. Barça clearly playing the long game thinking he’ll panic at lack of game time in a WC year, and lower his settlement demands. That “panic” might not happen at all but certainly won’t happen until a few La Liga games in.

Frenkie’s stance appears similar, he’ll wait it out until Barca get desperate to receive 80m and not be liable to pay him 30m over the next 15 months. That only happens once the window closes.

For this reason the de Jong saga has moved nowhere in a month, and simply won’t for a few weeks yet.

Adnan based on your knowledge of things, how legitimate do you think this news is? Considering not many have reported on it..

 

[Chief123]

because barcelona wanted it that way.

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never want to hear you say
'Cause Barca want it that way

 

[Real Name]

I said it all along.

This one is in the bag.

 

[Niemans]

De Jong wants to stay at Barcelona. And the idea of going to United doesn't appeal to him at all.

 

[TheReligion]

De Jong wants to stay at Barcelona. And the idea of going to United doesn't appeal to him at all.

Quite simply he lacks ambition

 

[Chief123]

De Jong wants to stay at Barcelona. And the idea of going to United doesn't appeal to him at all.

And neither does the idea of not getting paid and taking a pay cut.

 

[Brownie85]

As if your birthday fell on Frenkie Friday! Lucky git! Happy birthday mate

Happy birthday Brownie! Sorry we missed it.

Thank you so much guys!

I tried to get in a few times, but had a bit of a family get together.

De Jong wants to stay at Barcelona. And the idea of going to United doesn't appeal to him at all.

That really sums up 1134 pages succinctly.

If you believe the reports in Spain thats the case... but any credible reporter knows that Frenkie hasn't said anything in weeks now. So we really have no idea whats going on or what his stance on the transfer is

 

[RedPed]

De Jong wants to stay at Barcelona. And the idea of going to United doesn't appeal to him at all.

Ha ha, Barca are just a joke outfit. It's hilarious.

 

[TheReligion]

Perhaps he could be Leicesters first signing of the summer?!

 

[George The Best]

De Jong wants to stay at Barcelona. And the idea of going to United doesn't appeal to him at all.

Good luck with paying his new contract and meeting FFP

 

[Loon]

It's a Mexican stand-off. I think this will go to deadline day.

Then why hasn't he taken the pay cut?

Barça will clearly tell Frenkie de Jong to leave the club

The exit operation must be accelerated to avoid problems of LaLiga registering signings

 

[Siorac]

Then why hasn't he taken the pay cut?

Because he wants to stay at Barca without taking a pay cut.

 

[Loon]

Because he wants to stay at Barca without taking a pay cut.

Yet Barca have said it is a condition for him staying.

 

[Cassidy]

Yet Barca have said it is a condition for him staying.

Which they cannot enforce

Frenkie will clearly tell Barca to fecking pay him! Whoop whoop! Little by little he edges closer to United!

 

[Loon]

Yep. Mexican stand-off. Which is what I'd written above. Think this will go to deadline day.
