It doesn't hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
You, it's you and me.
If I only could,
I'd make a deal with Murtough ,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could, oh

Find a cosy room where you're guaranteed some privacy, turn off the lights, light some candles, get some nice lotion and a box of tissues, unzip and go to town.
Slow news day mate?
Do you know the reason you get the feeling 5hay he shares other people's stories, but he doesn't actually?
It's because he's the ballon dor holder of being the most generic man in the universe. His language and way of being generic is so captivating and you're compelled to believe him.
100m they’re dreaming
100 after variables, and bonuses. Agree - they won't get that, but they're not even really asking for it, at least up front. I've always felt 80m will get this done. I think we might see an agreement close to that in the next few days. Fingers crossed!!!
A few more days of posturing and haggling between the two clubs and we’ll likely see an official announcement after the Euros. What’s been done and i think it’s the most important is that the player has given his consent to join and wants to come
Welcome Frenkie!
Welcome Frenkie!
60 mill fixed, 10 mill when he wins the golden boot twice, another 10 when he opens his first successful hair salon and the final 20 when he gets to the moon. Twice.

I don't know why I get the feeling of summer 2013 from this transfer window. We might end up paying 100m for FDJ on last day of window and wouldn't make any other addition.
Right excitement from this is over. Onto the next.

Who'd be the perfect midfield partner for De Jong that we can realistically buy?
Yeah also, doesnt he remind you of Di Maria?
If you think he’s lot like Pogba then let me show you something. Schone was his midfield partner in 18/19 under ten Hag and look at who made more defensive contributions out of the two? Pogba wouldn’t be able to do that for sure because the guy can’t defend.
Declan Rice probably. But he’s too expensive so we need the scouts at the club to find one that is equally good and at a third of the price. Kante is another one but he’s likely past it
I'm getting Di Maria Paul Gascoigne vibes from this transfer
All I've seen is people say De Jong should be paired with a ball winner but from what I can see here, Schone is not a ball winner and yet he worked fine with De JongIf you think he’s lot like Pogba then let me show you something.

This has all been done for a while. It’s just the drip feed of information now. He’ll sign once the nations league is done.
Big difference here is that Barca have to sell and the clock is ticking. They have Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen who right now they cannot register due to being over their wage limit and they are still trying to sign Lewandowski and Silva. Barca badly need some outgoings and although they have some expiring deals they cannot complete their business without at least 1 big outgoing deal and FDJ is who they have decided to sell which is why we are playing hardball, we know they are in a weaker negotiating position. My only fear is that another club comes in at the eleventh hour and steals him from under our noses but right now there is not even a whisper of any other bidder.
Sangare
True
If we get Frenkie, and knowing that none of Fred, Scotty, DvB or Bruno can play the DM spot / pivot with him, who can we get to pair?
Or… crazy question, can Garner play with him? Literally haven’t seen anything of Garner for Forest, but most of the reports were that he had an excellent season there. Is Garner a CM or a DM? Can he step up to the PL? Anyone know?

Barca do NOT have to sell him.
Right now the board is choosing to because they want to upgrade their attack with Lewandowski.
Why? Because of the pressure and expectations from the fans and surroundings. The demand is huge in Barca, and given the fact that Laporta essentially “lost” Messi he wants to acquire a “superstar” player. This pressure is accentuated by having to watch your rivals win the Double.
But... they won’t do it at any price (as you’ll learn with Alemany) - so United shouldn’t feck around and keep low balling if they truly want de Jong. There is a limit, and Barca won’t sell at any price (this first offer, if true, is a joke). If it comes to that they’ll just keep Frenkie and try to get Lewandowski next summer on a free.
Barca will activate economic levers soon, which along with the selling of squad players, allow them to register the players (Kessie, Christensen) they get on free transfers.
Now if they want big names like Lewa, Koulibaly etc. then they need to sell De Jong.
Barca got good production from Aubameyang since January and he’s still under contract for another year. You’re getting Ansu back and he honestly looked fine yet obviously not match fit during the last matches of the season.
Barca will get plenty of goals next season.
You could let Barca stew but Alemany won’t really like that, so if you want Frenkie you really shouldn’t push it too far.
Let’s see what happens.
We usually like to work on one deal at a time. Once this one is sorted, we’ll move onto the next priority.
Definitely a glass half empty type
