I remember calling that about three episodes in and my obssesed mates said it can't be.Apparently they all died in the initial crash and were stuck in some kind of purgatory until they faced their demons and moved on. Or something like that.

I think Ronaldo has definitely put himself forward to play Judas!didn't they end up being Christ and his disciples, or something religious like that? I wonder which of our players would be which disciple...
The thing is all reports indicate negotiations are finished. We've agreed a deal and are awaiting final details with de Jong. Even if Chelsea was interested and offered two players in addition to money- how does that help a cash strapped Barcelona? They aren't getting more out of us - the deal is done. It reeks of Chelsea's owners pretending to show ambition in the transfer market to appease fans after the change of ownership.I don't believe the Chelsea interest is real though, it seems total Barca side created fiction. I doubt we'll fall for it, but if it gets the signing done sooner, oh well if we do.

This is good but we also need another CM/CDM, ST and a RB. I think getting these will depend on how many players we can sell.Tweet

Well he also could just come out and say "I'm definetly staying another season here" and then all speculations, rumours and interviews would end. Not one fan would think bad of him, Xavi would still count on him. Why doesn't he do that? Laporta can't force him out. So it's also a part of his own doing.Well no shit, they've dragged his name through the mud.

Maybe him and his missus have a little nice tapas place they are torn over leaving.Well he also could just come out and say "I'm definetly staying another season here" and then all speculations, rumours and interviews would end.

I remember calling it shit after the first episode and never watching it again.I remember calling that about three episodes in and my obssesed mates said it can't be.
Asked them after several years how it ended and they were so disappointed

No way are we signing 8 players.This is good but we also need another CM/CDM, ST and a RB. I think getting these will depend on how many players we can sell.
I don’t think that’s really true at all. It describes our current midfielders quite well though.A really tedious saga now.
I think Ten Hag has a vision and he knows what he wants, but i've little faith in this deal. Barca dont want to sell, the player doesnt seem overly keen and the price is mental.
Plus De Jong needs time and space to operate, something the premier league doesnt really give you.
While we dither on this deal, there is risk of missing out on other signings.
Bissouma has already gone to Spurs for a modest fee, talk to Tielemans to Arsenal for 30mil.
We cannot compete with Fred and McTominey in midfield - end of.
What we want: Kone/Sangare, Brobbey/Broja, Dumfries/LampteyThis is good but we also need another CM/CDM, ST and a RB. I think getting these will depend on how many players we can sell.
Bissouma and Tielemans are nowhere near the level of De Jong. No point in signing players who 'are better than what we have' when we have pretty much have an agreement for someone who's better than what everyone else has.A really tedious saga now.

Well the 594 pages on the transfer of De Jong were kind of a giveaway but still great news we are in for De Jong.Tweet

It’s been a steel toe capped, kick to the sack so far.This one is in the bag.
Well I, quite frankly, was shocked and surprised.Well the 594 pages on the transfer of De Jong were kind of a giveaway but still great news we are in for De Jong.
Not a case of somebody not paying up though is it? We have agreed a price - it’s FdJ’s differed wages and Barcas shadiness holding up the deal. I don’t think Chelsea will offer a solution to that problem either - it’s between the player and Barca.Chelsea's interest seems like good news for those wanting it resolved ASAP one way or another
Often when another club enters a saga it forces one of them to pay up and it goes quicker out of necessity
Please stop peddling these myths. Barca are desperate to sell to fund new signings (and be able to register them) and De Jong has stated he is happy to join United and ten Hag. This will happen, it’s just there are some considerable Is to dot and ts to cross.A really tedious saga now.

Time and space? fecking hell you’ve never seen him play.A really tedious saga now.

Maybe we should give up on this deal and go for Ruben Neves.
Tielemans and one of mcFred in midfield would be an absolute disaster, and we would get walked over regularly in there. Tielemans is more like a Fred who can pass. If you are buying Tielemans you will need a defensive player.A really tedious saga now.

The whole reason to go for FdJ is his press resistance.....Time and space? fecking hell you’ve never seen him play.
He’s as fecking press resistant as they come, and therefore creates his own space and time.
And no-one at United is dithering, whatever you think about the deal, reports in Spain and England agree that United have long since agreed a deal. The problem is Barça can’t get their fecking house in order with regards to the shitloads of wages they owe multiple players.
There’s no worry bro, but Martinez is more done than this one.Stop worrying you guys.
This one is done.
Put your muppet energy into the Martinez one. Because its yet another potential chance to laugh at arsenal

I don't know much about the ins and outs of this transfer, but I've not heard yet that he's taking a pay cut in coming to us, so wouldn't we in essence be repeating the same mistake regarding astronomical wages?Barcelona's game here is pretty evident. They realise they messed up by giving FdJ the contract they did to sign him to beat off the competition from PSG and are trying to force him to accept a pay cut, and are using us as a pawn to do that. They won't mind keeping him on reduced wages, but won't mind selling him either if he refuses to take a paycut. I would normally have wanted us to walk away from this but this guy is what our manager has earmarked as essential to his plans so we need to at least give it a good shot. In any case, this whole thing stopped being interesting about 2-3 weeks ago, and I wish this would just end one way or the other soon.
Possibly, but we can afford it. Maybe a mistake, but not one that will ruin usI don't know much about the ins and outs of this transfer, but I've not heard yet that he's taking a pay cut in coming to us, so wouldn't we in essence be repeating the same mistake regarding astronomical wages?
You know the window doesn’t close tonight? We have time. Ten Hag will get what he wants.I would be incredibly disappointed if he's not with us for pre season.
Just Malacia and Martinez isn't enough. Doubtful we'll be able to get anymore over the line then the two. A CF, a RW and De Jong should also be on the flight
Won't be able to make the pre season tour. Wasn't really talking about the end of the window.You know the window doesn’t close tonight? We have time. Ten Hag will get what he wants.
He can join up with the team later you know, it's not just one flight that leaves today and that's it.Won't be able to make the pre season tour. Wasn't really talking about the end of the window.
Not sure about that.There’s no worry bro, but Martinez is more done than this one.
We never miss an opportunity to laugh at Arsenal.
