Experts huh? Most of this 'expertise' comes from journalists guess work. 'How are Barca signing players?!' I think Laporta probably has a much better idea than football fans on a forum and English journos. I mean, you said it yourself; you are ignoring anything posted by Sport (fair enough they are trash) AND other Barcelona sources aka anything that doesn't suit the United agenda, gotcha. That is why I called this thread an echo chamber.
Frenkie did an honorable thing in deferring his wages. Can you provide me ANY evidence that, if legally owed, Barca are unwilling to pay him the magical 17mil? Or is that the head in the sand coping mechanism incase, actually, the player still has zero intention of joining United. I think so.
Laporta has restructured the wages at Barca and there is now a wage cap. Frenkie's wages aren't in line of this cap thus he would need to take a pay cut in order to stay, pretty sure he himself would of known this at the start of the summer. That is an option remember, nobody is putting a gun to his head.
I'm not embarrassed to support Barca, most of this is media drama and you as a United fan should know all about that yet here we are and everyone is lapping it up. IF Barca legally owe Frenkie and are refusing to pay him what he's owed and this is holding up the deal, proven, I will put my hands up and say 'Barca acted shamefully' but until this is confirmed, it's more media spin for the drama.
As for the last part.. Goatfecker? Not sure I follow but you do you.
On a less confrontational note, I think this transfer should speed up now Bernardo Silva links are getting hotter. Hopefully the transfer is done and dusted soon for both our clubs sake.
