We’re going to have more Dutch players than LVG’s Barcelona by the end of this window.

I’m not complaining.

Bear in mind that negative talk surrounding our club tends to draw more clicks. Journos use that to their advantage as often as possible, especially when a transfer is close to a conclusion.
It was a tounge in cheek comment mate. For what it's worth, I don't think the club would waste time pursuing this deal without getting the go ahead from FDJ himself.

Assuming this goes through, it’s a great signing and one that I hope will trigger the rest of the transfer business this summer. We’re not going to change the entire team in one window but if we can get 3 or 4 top quality players to replace the ones departed, that will be a successful window and a step in the right direction.

Is this one burnt out, with De Jong refusing to come to OT?
Surely we wouldn't have been negotiating for so long unless the player and his agent showed willingness..???

Or is De Jong, waiting for another club to hijack at the 11th hour as we've apparently done with Malacia..??
He’s kicking and wailing in the Spotify Arena dressing room as we speak. He’s heard rumours that not only is David De Gea in charge of the music at Old Trafford, he uses… YouTube Music. *shudder*

Dutch media now reporting Frenkie believes in Ten Hag's project and wants to come.

Done dealio.

I got a nagging feeling he's going to stay and "fight for his place in the team". He really seems reluctant leaving. Dybala-vibes.

I thought the point was that Barca want to sell him even though he'd rather stay

It’s so great to have a FM type transfer actually turn out to be true!

He can still refuse. Nobody is forcing him to join us. Although him prolonging his stay at Barca won't help his cause. Maybe he will be frozen out of the team, who knows?

Oh man we should actually pull something like this. Most excited I've been about a signing since Sanchez.
Sanchez was a much higher profile signing than FdJ. I thought we were getting a Chilean Messi, instead turned into Chilean Bebe.

Am I right in thinking that in "most" transfers personal terms etc are already agreed before a club would even make a bid? If so surely there's nothing to panic about.. hello to everyone by the way. long long time lurker.
Yes, you're right, the majority of the package has probably been sorted over the last few weeks with his agent.,

When you said you're a lurker.....first post after 8 years must be some sort of record.

YouTube Music is much better. A larger catalogue.
