Just imagine FDJ signs along with SMS and Rabiot and McT is sold. The Caf might finally implode.

Please don’t piss on my chips dude. It’s been a shit two days. I’ll take any positive BS right now. Even if it’s from Romero’s dog.
I’d only be happy if McTominay is sold to Barca in a swap deal.
- Love of fans/club (not to be confused with love of the people in charge of the club)
- Love of city/league
- Principle of getting paid what you are contracted to
- Firm belief that they could not earn more elsewhere
- Sticking it to the man
There are a lot of reasons for them to stand their ground, tbh.
7/2 on skybet now, money to be made lads

Whenever I've listened to him talk about this FDJ stuff throughout, he always talks as though he is more giving his opinion rather than coming with the "I've been told..." Etc. Was that the case here?
Help, my muppet will is breaking. A tidal wave of logic and cognisance of dumb decision after dumb decision that the club have made is bearing down on me. Could they have spent the whole fecking summer chasing a target who just simply doesn't want to come? I mean this is the same people who hired Rangnick and then completely disregarded all the stuff that he's known to be good at and used him as a short term firefighting interim... Same people that renewed Jones' contract... Oh dear lord
I meant why would new players want to sign with them, knowing what we know.
Haha, yes, definitely. Although I'd take Rodriguez over Rabiot for sure, and I would still be concerned about our lack of strikers/RW.
Im out but I’m peering through the window like a fecking psychopath
Barca is saying that they have no recollection of them signing FdJ at all so they feel that FdJ should return all the wages paid to him since they day he, in their eyes, apparently joined them.
Ah, in that case, mostly the first two parts for sure. Also, guaranteed UCL football and a genuine chance of winning it every season is something that will attract players to the likes of Bayern, Barca and Madrid no matter how good the EPL is and how much EPL teams pay players.
the only thing that doesn't make sense to me is his willing desire to still play for them. Could you imagine if we treated a player like that.
fecking scumbags barca made them sign this deferred wages deal, and stuck a loophole in so they don't have to pay
you must leave or you will pay us. laporta operates on the 8th plane of celestial bullshit.They have played the UNO reverse card and now actually want FDJ to pay them.Tweet

He doesn't stick his neck out and doesn't really like to get involved in transfer stuff. He's previously said it's a pain in the arse as you say something you got from a legit source and was likely true at the time and then get pelters online if it doesn't end up happening. He also doesn't really the obsession with transfers.
Thats all well and good until they renege on your contract and treat you like shit.
Wouldn't their contract expiration date also revert back to the old contract potentially risking them leaving for cheaper or on a free transfer?They have played the UNO reverse card and now actually want FDJ to pay them.Tweet

I’m sorry. I did piss in the direction of your chips but, look, I missed! You can still eat them.
I only said it because I previously called BS when he said FDJ didn’t want to come here. And I didn’t want to be a hypocrite (I hate being called a hypocrite, can’t a man change his mind ffs?). Secretly I do believe!
Yes, very much an opinion piece.
However, bare in mind that he wasn't talking as positively about FDJ to Utd not so long ago when the Chelsea interest was confirmed to be genuine. Its possible that having looked into it, realising a bid hasn't been put in and through his contacts at Utd, might have given him a bit more assurance that something positive could still happen.
More confident than ever. Let’s see this through lads.
This is Matrix level stuff from Laporta…between levers and the old switcharoo…I’m not even gonna try understand it.They have played the UNO reverse card and now actually want FDJ to pay them.Tweet

Talk of the Devils podcast?
Yes
Yeah he said "I've been told" quite a lot. Always thought that phrase was more about protecting sources than anything if I'm honest.
Yup. 15:45 in.
Yeah I like the jib of the jab. I’m liking what he’s been told.
They would have to pay it for two fewer years. And if he really wanted to stay (which is what I'm getting) then he would have less reason not to take a pay cut. But yeah it doesn't make sense. Who the fek knows? It's all chinese whispers and twitter bull.

Let me get this straight, Jong is paying Barca to play for them? I mean really?
Corrupt loansharks have more dignity than barca, what the feck is this even.
Sweet jesus the United fan base has enetered full on transfer muppet mode today with all these linsk to players. It has been a rather strange day as a united fan!
So Barca has activated the 4th lever?They have played the UNO reverse card and now actually want FDJ to pay them.Tweet
