I kinda feel for him. Yes, he's a millionaire, but Barca are inhuman scum (threatening him with legal action etc).
Frenkie de Jong | The last muppeting lap

never knew that. thought Mayonaise would be more apt for this thread, especially the part when it goes no more promise no more sorrows.
I actual think Conte is more likely to be able to go toe to toe with Pep and Klopp
Well he's going to be shown the door by tomorrow afternoon, time he accepts reality.
Probably being threatened by Mikky too
He isn't in their league. Get real!
That’s his best attempt at “we didn’t want him anyway”
So is he getting registered or what
I leave for an hour or 2 and come back and it’s 1515. The pace at which everyone is posting (mostly nonsense) is incredible. Either way the cafe should be proud for growing this monstrous and horrible thread.
We dont need FDJ as such. But I just dont think he will leave. Stuck by that whole saga
The wrong way to write chipmunks?
Don't think registering him means that much, his wages count towards La Liga FFP either way if I'm not mistaken
Conte is a far better manager so I have no doubt you are right.
He is registered already, it's the other players that aren't. As for what will happen, we'll find out by close of business on the 13th, I guess.
I knew something changed with the news of Chelsea bidding came out this morning. It went against the basis of every ITK Chelsea nonsense that said they were waiting in the player ok before approaching Barca.
Glad to have called it (so late to be fair)
I agree about Conte's quality as a manager, but his teams are not easy on the eye from my perspective...
It may have already been suggested but seeing how surprisingly effective it was with Arnautovic, shouldn’t we try to sway this our way in one last desperate attempt?
Just e-mail to toddboehly@chelsea.co.uk and tell him that we, legitimate Chelsea fans, don’t want Frankie in our club!

But still, why not get the bid in anyway? It makes no difference either way to Chelsea. If he decides to leave, everything is in place for both teams.
Good idea
Yeah Frenkie is a known advocate of social health insurance. That should do it
Depends on how low Barca will go. They could make life really difficult for him to a point where its in his very best interests to leave
Are Tuchel's?
Why not? Tuchel beat Klopp in both domestic finals, beat Pep in a CL final and knocked them out the FA cup. New owners, more say in transfers from what it looks like, no Lukaku…I think they’ll be 2nd or 1st this year of these transfers come through.
Are dick pictures appropriate?
Surely something has to happen today with them wanting to register players tomorrow. They'll be missing half the side that has taken part in preseason
Just to be clear because there seems to be some confusion, Barça have until August 31 to register all of their signings. The only rush is because they want to have everyone available against Rayo this weekend, but even if they’re not registered by then, they still have time.
I think that front office has too much pride not to force themselves to get this done as soon as possible, but it’s possible this could go on longer.

Yes - Frenkie is a socialist who is a strong advocate of extreme gun control and comes from a country with dangerous open door policies on drugs
They will activate levers and players will be registered. Barca have done that all summer, they have been activating levers and spending continues.
I won't be shocked to see all their signings registered without Frenkie leaving.
So he has beaten them both a couple of times? So has Ole. Ole also beat him in a one off important Champions League tie with a worse team. Also as @romufc rightly points out he has not even achieved the things you claim he has.
Has he ever finished above either of them in the league? I would be willing to make any bet you want that he will not finish above either this season no matter what signings he makes. I will give you 2 to 1 odds.

Registering players?
When did Tuchel beat klopp in domestic finals?
Aye like they took Martinez, literally 2 weeks ago. We doomed
Activating levers.
To great success, as of now they can't start their shiny new toys at the weekend
New episode out:
- Laporte likes De Jong but De Jong earns 2x - 3x more than other players, which causes issues in the dressing room.
- Bunch of players have been cleared out on big contracts already.
- United have a deal with Barcelona to sign De Jong.
- Need to wait and see if he starts on Saturday for Barca, Mitten was told no, he won't start, so let's see what happens.
- Mitten was told by a Barcelona source that they 'think' they'll be able to register all the players before the weekend.
- Barca and Madrid tend to get what they want.
- No interest in the Real Betis midfielder. No bid for the PSV forward either but milage in that one.
- Advanced discussions underway for Rabiot. Comparisons between Rabiot and Pereria in terms of type of player and ability. Signing wouldn't fix most of the problems on display against Brighton, but would be an upgrade on McFred, in the wrong way.
- United are panicking in the window now.
- Strikers market is incredibly difficult at the moment, some clubs have been looking for 6 months and still can't find anyone.
- United would sell Bailly tomorrow but the offers are around £2m or a loan with no buy option/low loan fee.
- Can't loan or sell Brandon Williams because his salary is beyond the reach of clubs outside of European competition. United valued him at £20m and tried to sell him last summer.
- Ten Hag was the one who pushed for the signing of Arnautovic.
