Yeah I was thinking twitch or a podcast but wasn't sure on the former.
It's twitch and a lot of what he talks about can be taken out of context. To some extent it's a bit like Molina and his lives, they respond to questions and can talk about things that aren't actual news.

I suppose it might get locked when the window shuts. Then a new thread needs to be started, assuming there is “a rumour” he will move…
Why would the best thread ever be locked? It generates a lot of views. And January is not far away! Yes, he is ours, just a matter of time.

Frenkie, even if you can't bear the thought of ever playing for Manchester United Football Club could you at least hold up the shirt for us just once?

The last part isn't true though, he's been relegated to the bench.
He's still at Barca, and still on massive money. And will probably find himself starting a lot more regularly once the window has shut and the CL starts up.

Frenkie got everything he wanted. He's happy to be cucked by Xavi so long as he can collect his money and live in a city his fiancee is happy with.

The man made his twitter banner in MS Paint and uses breaking bad GIFs / basic typos what's not to believe!
Funny thing is, if by some miracle he does sign at 10:59pm - he’ll be seen as some god tier ITK :lol::lol::lol::lol:

What happened:

Man Utd: Barca we offer you 75m Euros deal?
Barca: Deal!
Man Utd: Frenkie want to come?
Frenkie: Nah
Journalists for the next 2 months "Something HOT is happening, CHELSEA INTERESTED, FDJ ON THE BENCH TODAY. Frenkie has NEVER been closer to a Barca exit, MAN UTD STILL BELIEVE they can do a deal"

It is hilarious how Romero and Sport were public enemies at the start when they told everyone the obvious - that Frenkie had no desire at all to come to United. But they're still spawning 4 pages of discussion for every bullshit tweet 3 months later.

Chelsea have not been interested in Frenkie this window. Never put a bid in for him after they realised what was obvious to everyone else who isn't John Murtough. But still about 30% of all the discussion in this thread is panic about phantom Chelsea bids.

the last Bernardo Silva offer. Maybe if they get him in we will see some FDJ out rumors fly.

Still interested to see what FdJ's actual deal will be with Barcelona, seeing as how he's supposed to be on massive wages this year, not forgetting the 17 million they owe him. Is he really going to accept a 50% wage cut and kiss goodbye that money? And is he really going to settle for being a bit player? I guess so, just interested in the post mortem of this whole saga.

He's not taking a wage cut. Barca are obligated to pay him what's in the contract and that includes paying some of that 17m in deferred wages. So next summer he'll be a whole lot richer and Barca will owe him less.

Frenkie's thinking must be that he's willing to be a bit player for this season and this season only. His status on the Dutch NT is not in jeopardy. But going into next season if Xavi keeps him on bit player status I have to believe that Frenkie will want the feck out of the Camp Nou.

With that, I suggest we keep this thread alive until next summer. We could easily hit 5000 pages by this time next year!
