You know what, these Chelsea links seem dead too. They've yet to make a bid and zero agreement with De Jong.
Frenkie de Jong | The last muppeting lap

Yes, of course, very possible. But honestly I don't see why it will happen when we heard so much about Frenkie wanting to stay. Barca have registered everyone, he will stay and play, and so will Bernardo.
Kounde still isn't registered and they're working on even more signings, so who knows
Depay, Aubameyang, Umtiti still to leave..?
Those were not options!
Quiet morning and they know we'll lose to Brentford and come looking for blood afterwards. Bet they drop another De Jong story either during or after the game
It was never alive from the beginning. Chelsea still haven't made a bid.
They're not on the mega wages as far as I'm aware and will hardly fetch much transfer fee. Maybe it's enough, I don't know, but knowing Barca they won't stop spending until they're right at (or over) the limit
What? Barcelona have already offered him 7m of his deferred wages. He wanted all of it. Up front. They offer more - say 10m - we offer to pay some in his wage packet to make up part of the short fall and he accepts less than the 17m. So All three. There is no way we are paying all 17m of his deferred money and there’s no way way - after Barcelona have already offered to cover some of it - he’s accepting it all being written off. There will have been a negotiation and all 3 will have reached a compromise. If this is true.
Tuchel has confirmed Alonso is moving there so him for sure. No idea what they're paying, won't be much.
Yes pretty much.
If this actually happens, which I believe it will, I hope all the turds nailing ETH and Murtough to the cross will be big enough to admit our team will have played an almost perfect hand. Persistent. Determined and discreet. A big step forward.
I think Umtiti was attacked so harshly by the despicable Barca mob because he was indeed on high wages before his injury, and then they gave him an extention to minimize the current wages and push the rest into the future, similar to De Jong. So he's one they desperately want to get rid, and they've already gone through pulling the usual levers of smearing his character, calling him greedy, etc, in public.
Aubameyang and Depay surely both earn sizeable money as well (why else would they have joined).
To whom it may concern (Sport):
Dont say stuffs and then not follow up on it. I'll be waiting.

Auba and Memphis will get moves — Memphis to Juve is pretty likely and I think Chelsea might end up with Auba. But god knows where Umtiti goes. He’s like their Phil Jones, just on more money
He's full of shite, sadly
@Berbaclass poster of the year award is in the bag son!
I don't know their wages obviously, and Umtiti was indeed always portrait on ridiculous wages, but the story around Auba's signing was that he even took a wage cut to join Barcelona from Arsenal (on a free!). This could of course all have been spin, and all three combined will surely make room for new signings, but Silva for example won't exactly play for free
Not having that, @Brownie85 is the boy that brought him home
Yeah but.. they always take wage cuts to play for Barca, don't they. Of course it's nonsense.
The idea of Silva they'll have to bury if De Jong stays, those two are connected. That was my point, the rest (registering Lewa etc) is not connected to De Jong anymore, if it ever was.
You're just hurt Lewandowski took one as well to leave you
That's not why you're post stinks, but I'll leave you to it.
Benzema is the best in the world anyway and deserves the Ballon D'Or, as I've always maintained.You're just hurt Lewandowski took one as well to leave you
We knew since May that Frenkie is ours. He is just waiting for us to reach 2000 pages, to show that we really love him.
Haha i've been slacking for a few days... lots of family get togethers
Do not fret Muppets, its all going according to the plan, just keep the faith.
This is a team effort anyway, and the rest of the muppet crew are here to pick up the slack when the head honcho is busy with other obligations
The muppets here never disappoint. Hardcore muppetry! It's what we do haha
Sport aren't a good source but Ferran Martinez is seemingly quite well-regarded as far as I can tell.
What are you talking about? He's Tier 2 for Barca.
They do say that money talks... he's obviously going to consider a very lucrative offer, football is a very short career for most players. For every 1000 players you probably get 1 Ronaldo or Zlatan
Be more confident if he’s not in their squad tonight.
All muppetry and giddyness aside, we're going to pay him absolutely ludicrous wages, aren't we?
The other thing is, for all the talk of Chelsea being confident, they are still yet to make a bit. I find that a bid odd at this point if they really are as confident as is being made out.
Depends on how badly ten Hag wants him... i can see us breaking the £350k - £400k a week for him.
Maybe his Mrs is coming around to the idea of moving now, ive always maintained that she was a big part of him wanting to stay in Barcalona, convince her and you convince him.
United have been put through the shit since Chelsea were falsely reported that they could stroll in and sign De Jong. Not shopping in Harrods anymore and all that shit.
Do you think all that would be revised if we do sign him? Of course not

That #EmptyOldTrafford campaign.
If we can pull this off, a midfield of De Jong and Rabiot is a seriously press resistant partnership. It’s going to be a mammoth difference from McFred are the complete opposite of press resistant.
I do think with FDJ and Rabiot we would see a major improvement in the defence as they won’t get exposed by mistakes created in our midfield.
