Oh, Sport. Never change.

We're all going to feel empty inside when this whole silly saga is over, regardless of where FDJ ends up.

Sport twitter have no modicum of self awareness do they? Could literally do 180 degree changes on this transfer daily without batting a digital eyelid. And we're definitely feeding their click hunger plenty!

Can't spell Mkhitaryan
People need to realise that Sport is the mouthpiece for Barca. They may talk shite but they definitely print what Barca wants them to print.

Odds have just moved as well, we are back to being favorites at 11/10, still a long way off the 1/20 we were at one stage though

Someone is going to slam us muppets back to earth with a thud soon enough. It's always the case... but i do hope this time is different.
I do think this could be it now, i think we are entering the end game :D

Reckon Ducker or another English source will report on a "breakthrough" in negotiations tomorrow.

Is this the first time Barcelona media have stated there was a negotiation around a pay-off?
It's the first time I've come across a Catalan outlet who are reporting about the wage deferral being the stumbling block.

I'm thinking we're going to have something like that soon... hopefully tomorrow morning, but i imagine it could be later on in the day.
Something is coming though, Barcas whole attitude has changed today, they've gone from being hardcore "he stays" to "we can't guarantee he'll stay, but we'll try to keep him". I know they've said that in the past, but recently it's been he's a barca player and he's going nowhere

Any coincidence that Sport are doing a U-turn hours after Laporta poured cold water on the Chelsea talk and left the door open/played coy about selling him to United?

Wouldn't surprise me.
We've known all along there was nothing in the Chelsea rumours, and it was nothing more than Barca stirring stuff up. Must have been a breakthrough for them to snuff it out though
