How is it believable if we wait till the end of the window and sign nobody? That will generate Woodward level hate. It's definitely the lesser of the two evils to walk before then when alternatives are still available we even walked from Sancho

That first point makes absolutely no sense. The plural of money is money. Using “monies” just makes you come across as a 7 year old.
I don’t know for definite the exact amount. The latest report had it at 19 million euros, most reports were of 17 million but I don’t know for certain which it is. What I do know is that if I felt like I were owed a sum anywhere close to either of them then I’d be doing everything in my power to get it.
Dignity can't play CM my man
I think it's Pjanic.
Most reports are that he doesn't want to leave Barca, not that he doesn't want to come to United, huge difference.

So weird so read thread title without a punchline. It gets me going to be honest.
Fabrizio also said he has yet to flat out tell us NO. The Athletic journalist who wrote it isn't close to Utd but Spain he's reported from the same perspective as their media. Not that it's all BS but not that it says the whole truth either
You're right that if he leaves the deferred salary goes which is why he wants it paid NOW and it's a more than fair stance to have and his mind ain't changing until he gets every cent of it or an acceptable sum
We don't know what he told Ten Hag specifically but you don't need to be a genius to know it wasn't a flat out "No" otherwise we'd just stop the pursuit like Nunez/Brobbey/Timber and the manager knows a lot more than us what's happening
fecking ridiculous that they're playing him as a central defender 
I thought it was some young new academy product
I was mentioning how people are expecting a brief from our side that we are no longer interested. I said it's much more likely we sign other players and when the transfer window closes say we were waiting for De Jong but he couldn't sort out his wage issues.

Would be hilarious tbh. Imagine Leandowski and Raphinha basically playing no football in a World Cup year
One could even argue the difference is Grant.
Could be worse -- goalie.fecking ridiculous that they're playing him as a central defender
He'll be playing there when they are forced to sell Ter Stegen.
Who is this Hugh Difference? Tier 1?
Are we suddenly more credible contenders than Chelsea because of preseason form? Fair enough. Andreas Pereira must have a few Balon D’or trophies lying around.They lost 4-0 to Arsenal last week and Tuchel went in on the squad in his post match presser. They are going to implode in the coming season. I think
For clarification - as I feel like most posts here need dummy disclaimers these days - I’m not saying we won’t finish above them or that Chelsea will win the title. Just that most sensible people will tell you that out of Chelsea and United, Chelsea is more likely to win the league. It wouldn’t be surprising if professional players hold the same opinion.
Is FDJ's agent called Paulie, perchance?
Paulie?
Paulie?
We do need a winger and a striker. would be the ultimate plot twist Frenkie stays and if we end up with Lewandowski and Raphinha.Tweet

If they can't register those two without a De Jong transfer they will absolutely cave and pay him his back wages. They'll continue to threaten him until the deadline in the hopes he caves, but at the end of the day they don't have any other option.Would be hilarious tbh.

Both hold the exact same likelihood, and it’s significantly below 1%
Because us muppets are built different. We are what drive these transfers and bring them home.
10d chess
These sassy replies are cool and all, but we finished 16 points behind Chelsea last season. With a 0 goal difference. Theirs was 43. These are the harsh realities.
I seriously think we should ask journalists close to us to break the story that United have backed away from any move involving FDJ.
I would be over the moon if FDJ refused to move and Barca can't register Lewa, Rafinha et.al.
(And if need be, gobble him up once Barca come pleading with a decent offer).

Omg every time he got the ball the players moved away from him so he had no pass on. They trying to bring his pass success down. He’s blatantly being forced out the club by the players now!
Chelsea aren’t winning the league. Chelsea currently look like an absolute disaster zone with the manager openly attacking his own players. It’s the harsh reality.
Ok, lets try this:
Navas
Mikkel De Jong Ramos Peresic
Ramsey Kroos Sneijder
Bale Shearer Gaitan

Ducker referencing his FDJ article from July 10th in the Martinez article. Suggesting as far as he's concerned nothing has changed

We've already agreed the whole fee. They're not asking us for anything extra.
Although not ideal, it’s not as ridiculous as it would seem. He started off as a centre back so it’s not alien to him. However, it’s obvious Barca don’t want him.fecking ridiculous that they're playing him as a central defender
If I were FDJ, I'd play golf for another two years, run down my Barca contract (until 2024), get all my money, and move on for free with a huge signing up fee for one of the big clubs like United, Chelsea, Bayern or the likes.
The only caveat is is what if Barca go into administration by then?

Since my #1 most hated team is Madrid it would've been so funny if Bale was in the same situation as FdJ at Madrid, cause Bale would've done it. Frenkie is too noble
If anyone could copy and paste the article would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
If Martinez get #21 this will be finally off
Honestly if we do miss out on Frenkie, this is an enjoyable consolation priseTweet

If a resolution isn’t looking likely, we should look into Caqueret. Just signed a new deal, but the entire package wouldn’t be more than what we’d pay for Frenkie.

Imagine the stick he's getting right now.
"Wtf, Frenkie?!"
If the players have a problem with it they either shouldn't have signed for the club or they can cough up the funds required. It's their problem, not Frenkies.
