we are in agreement. I say it isn't far-fetched that he stays and you say it isn't at all likely that he stays.Glazers forgo their dividend payments for a year and we get him.
Don't hold your breath lads.

100%? Is anything ever 100%?
You what mate?
500, here we come!
I don't know the amount they are haggling about.You what mate?
Just a number to throw out there.
No a well run club would not be receiving such negative press and fan backlash because they would not entertain airing their intent so publicly only for it to continue to fail. United are a shambles of a club run by the most inept self centred owners anyone could wish for, you may disagree but you would be in the 1% minority.
Most unlikely thing suggested in the thread.I don't know the amount they are haggling about.

Stop using undeniable logic to win the argument. It's totally unfair on those incapable of doing the same.
I may have to report you next time.
Wouldnt Frenkie be worried that he wont get the money back once he leaves the club? He will have to sue Barca to get the deferred salary?
I believe this is what is holding up negotiations personally.
No he is legally owed it
I don't think we are signing him.. move on to another target
That's that then. /thread
I’m sorry, can you tell me where this is in any way relevant to my post?
I told you that your list of things a well run club would do was total bollocks, which it is, can you quantify even a single point on your list and provide any proof that it’s what a well run club would do, or are you just skriking into the ether?
Based on what? The 4 or 5 positive tweets saying things are very advanced and Barca expect him to leave...
Or the 1 negative tweet saying he'll be happy to accept a lower salary?
Not a single credible source has said this deal is off yet there a few melts on here who are panicked.
Its the Messi situation again. They will sell him, but if he decided to reduce his salary and some of what hes owed they won’t. I dont see him doing that so he’ll be sold
Positive news is disregarded as fiction but as soon as anything negative is posted, regardless of the source, the place goes into meltdown.
Are people really that on edge?
That doesn't mean that he won't eventually need to sue.
As opposed to you panicking and calling people melts
And now imagine a spineless cnut actually accepting that.
If he really is ok with that I'm glad we stay away from him. I doubt he will though
I love the way people jump in to the thread with a post without reading the most recent parts of the thread first.....
Actually, if someone did that here we'd be gushing about their love of the club.
True, but sueing a former employer for outstanding payments isn't exactly an alien concept
Oh as a fan of the club absolutely. It's idiotic from his perspective though. Imagine your boss doing that to you.
Also: If he rather accepts that than join Man Utd then feck off in all honesty.
I think Frenkie’s camp is busy negotiating with Barca about his deferred salary owed after he leaves them for United, that’s what I believe is holding up the deal. United aren’t obviously going to pay that for them. Also lowering Frenkie’s wages isn’t going to be enough, they will need the money from his sale to pay the deferred wages of other players and their new signings
Also i hope we don’t ever deal with Barca again after this. Absolute vile cnuts of a club. We also made it far too easy for them back then when they wanted Pique back

Agree.
All of this really.
If they really owe him that much money that could be huge issue to resolve.
100% agreed on the last part as well. Stay as far away from these dilettantes as possible in the future.
Yes. But try suing them later from Manchester -- Barca will suddenly claim that they are skint despite 161 levers initiated.
This ain’t happening is it. Utter waste of time.
Lewandowski must be out of his mind joining these amateurs. But then again... Judging from his latest comments he doesn't seem the brightest lad.
United aren't airing anything publicly, as far as I can see. They've never commented. It's all press speculation for clicks!
But its does mean hes not likely to be worried about it
Not how the law works
While I understand the sentiment, there are already a lot of Barca players who have done exactly this. Scummy and crazy as it sounds it's far from impossible. Pique and Umtiti did it just last season and I think there's been some talk about Busquets potentially doing similar. Not saying I think this is off or anything, but Barca have already tried similar tactics by putting public pressure on their players to take a wage cut, and it has worked in some cases. As crazy as it seems, players clearly do still love Barcelona as a club, as is evidenced by both Raphinha and Lewandowski wanting to go there despite the horrible way the club is run and the way it treats its staff.
I mean for a player at the end of his career, milking Barca makes a lot of sense. But I can't wrap my head around why any young player would want to join them
I don’t know if it’s a generational thing where there is a need a for constant positive spoon feeding or believing everything that you read instead of using common sense. This thread has taken a toxic turn over nothing news and click baiting garbage Twitter sources yet Luckhurst (very reliable the last 4 to 5 years) and Romano have stated this deal is all but done but for the fine details.
