How is it not legal to pay someone a signing on bonus?
Doesn't make sense for me as well, but there was this one (!) source who claimed that in a tweet, once. Since then, it's more or less an accepted Caf truth
Nah. Barca are still the same… selling the family silver, still can’t register new players, still semi threatening players
Oh you meant that Dutch guy? No change
Yes but only like 1 place was reporting that and I do not remember if it was a reputable source, was ages ago in this saga from hell.
That is actually one of the major reasons I think the Chelsea rumors are all smoke and no fire. We are supposed to believe they will meet the price and pay him his deferred wages and they also can offer CL football, there is literally nothing stopping this from happening and yet despite several days of briefs to this effect they have not made a bid. Boehly has been splashing the cash like a maniac this summer but I very much doubt they will pick up the tab for Frenkie unless the Fofana deal doesn't happen because the two of them on top of what they have already spent would push their budget past 350M and they still need a striker. For a club with their current revenues that would be irresponsible spending on a level to dwarf what Barca are doing.
I think It was Steve Bates who hasn’t be reliable since Fergie.
No mate, all quiet on the Frenkie front.
Cheers guys... had a day away from it today, was at Alton Towers with some family so Frenkie was off the mind today.
Any withdrawal symptoms?
Out of the frying pan and into the fire
Hazzard was 2012
Pedro 2015
What sane player would sign for Manchester United over Chelsea in these times, unfortunately we are way down the pecking order if a player wants a decent career in the the PL and have been for many years.
Barcelona has to be a cult surely. Guys just accepting pay cuts, club trying to get rid of players but the players are fighting for their lives to stay there, nobody getting paid until 2039 and still everyone wants to join not leave.
fecking hell

I edited my post. I can't find any article supporting that now. In addition more recent reports indicate we are willing to pay.
I have no idea anymore!!
Haha I'm back now... absolutely knackered and sunburnt to feck so food and bed I think. Catch up is always on the cards though
We pulled out of the Arnautovic deal, in case you missed it
Who has looked worse this transfer window?
Barcelona
Or
United?

You are spreading unfounded rumors I think. This is the first time I hear we are willing to pay the deferred payment.
If we breach this bottom line, I would say the new football structure is a joke.
Man... Smiler is just something else. Awesome right. Galactica too, they're just insane loved every minute. Though I hadn't thought of them named like that hahaKeep telling yourself that.
“Shall we go on de smiler next or oblivijong”
Have we really???
I've obtained exclusive footage of Frenkie negotiation footage.
Keep this between us

Barcelona have had a very good window from a football perspective.
We signed a couple of players for a bit of money.
They signed a lot of players but risked the entire future of their club.
Tough one
Yeah really, pretty much confirmed by T1 sources (think even BBC)
I mean despite being a financial shit show, Barca have signed Lewandowski, Raphinha, Kounde, Kessie and various others. Compare that to our window.
There is sense at the club! Oh my god... that's some good news at least
Oblivion and Nemesis have always been my favourites, just for the nostalgia from being a kid I think.Yes, we really did pull out of Arnautovic
Went on them two twice each today haha. Nemesis will always be my favourite, was my first ever real coaster. Went on Oblivion twice with my cousin, she loved it but had an existential crisis the second time round and was shitting it big time for some reason haha
Yes, we really did pull out of Arnautovic
It’s hard to say. I mean Lewandowski. IMO, he might become the biggest disappointment.
They've only gone and done it!It’s literally the last step, mods too busy fleecing us with pop ups though, as usual.
Pffft.
I'm on an island somewhere miles off the African coast .. still check in for my daily dose of disappointment.
Muppet up. Couple of weeks to go yet
Hard to check your phone whilst being flung side to side on a coaster haha
I'm back for all the goodness now
Holy shit! It must mean the deals done
100% it's on! Put the bets in while you still can, lads!
This is it boys... this is what he was waiting for
Barca.
They might have made better transfers, but I can't remember a club making themselves look so bad with how they've treated players.
If Carlsberg did disappointment.
Catching up on this thread and seeing a bunch of "we have only gone and done it" comments followed by "confirmed with T1 sources like the BBC" and then realizing muppets are talking about us pulling out of Arnautovic and we haven't signed Frenkie after all.

Barca have been farcical off the pitch and are basically gambling their long term financial future away but for their trouble, they'll be fielding one of the best squads on paper in all of Europe this season.
We've looked farcical off the pitch in a window where we absolutely needed massive investment and urgency under new management to try to bridge the gap all while our rivals have all strengthened themselves.
We still look well thin on quality in our areas of need after everything so I'd say us quite easily...
