So is he on his new wage now or still on a reduced amount?

Kimmich would be the dream but yes, near impossible I would imagine.
Yeah I’ve been a right moaning twat in this thread I’m frustrating myself tbh.
That said this is easily the most ridiculous deal I’ve seen us partake in and I don’t know where we go if this deal doesn’t happen.
Where is your faith in EtH?
You don’t think that Eriksen and Martinez will help us in our possession game? It’s not about waiting for the “perfect” player but to have patience to wait for the “right” player, someone who fits into EtH plans. No more panic buys if you ask me. From what I see so far we have improved immensely since last season. I prefer to trust our manager until results proves me otherwise.
They don't have to be as good as FDJ.
Haven't we supposedly a better manager who is tactically astute and can negate certainly weaknesses in an XI?
Wow this is a bigger meltdown than even i thought it would be.
How about we all just chill take a breath for a bit. If it's not happening, then i expect a brief later on that we're moving on, but we've already had reports that we're in it for the long game, so that's very very unlikely.
United are confident and as long as they are, i don't think it matters what any of us think as they know more about this that we ever will to be fair with you.

Not sure Daniel Levy will sell two players he signed in the last month for less than he paid for them to be honest
There's very few links because we aren't willing to say feck this and pull out of deal. We have been absolutely played by Barca
We're pretty astute at hijacking a deal, but that would take it to new extremes
He must of been hibernating in this FDJ thread and missed the deals!
The club may want Neves but I don't think Ten Hag does. Has Ten Hag ever worked with or come up against Neves? Right now he only trusts brining in players he's worked with or played against. So by this logic I would say he would prefer Tielemans. There are many clubs after him though, so it wouldn't be easy to get him.
You are about a month too late
I think we’ve done good business so far so have confidence we will get something else going if needs be.
Poor guy deserves more
He is. As of right now, he's not a Barcelona player. So by saying they can register their current signings, he's not one of them. It's not that complicatedOK yeah, if you say so...
He's clearly joining Barca!
If Ten Hag is worth his salt then he signs an alternative that's still an upgrade on McFred and coaches that player into what he wants. This "wait for the right player" strategy we did with Sancho should be an exception not a norm and at the time it was worth it because SANCHO WANTED TO JOIN US. Frenkie clearly doesn't and that alone doesn't make him worth waiting for.
On a side note Eriksen for a big part of his career has played as a 10 and Martinez at CB it seems unwise to use makeshifts in a position that's been a problem for a decade over just signing an actual CM who's name isn't Frenkie De Jong
This thread is nothing compared to some of the others we've had.
Sneijder was just a mess, now that was a media driven transfer as Sir Alex confirmed we were never in for him.
Vidal too was just a joke, as was Thiago.
The thing is, United have done absolutely nothing wrong on this one. EtH has his assurances, he's confident he'll come and he's explained to the board why he's confident. They agree with him and must have assurances themselves so they're happy to push on. We've not got a group of guys on twitter F5'ing Romero and Romano's twitter pagers saying "pull the plug guys, these two say he doesn't want to leave".
I'd rather a deeper lying midfielder. Eriksen could play the Tielemans role for us,
Considering I anticipated him going on tour not really.
Do all the pessimists here stop and think logically at all?
ETH is renowned for being a man of great detail. A man who doesn’t leave a stone unturned. A meticulous planner. Some close to him suggesting it’s at a level of freakishness.
With the above in mind, do you genuinely think ETH is going to push his club to spend so much time and energy in pursuing this deal without having knowledge and assurance that the player will come?
Unless you believe the player is just blatantly lying to ETH and trying to stitch him up. I’m sure ETH is the most ITK about the players intentions and thoughts than any reporter is right now.
Ultimately, I think this could potentially drag out further but I’m of the belief that the board know how important this signing is for ETH. I believe if it comes down to it, Utd will just offer a heftier signing on fee if Barca don’t succumb. The truth is FDJ knows Barca can pay what he’s owed as they are splashing the cash like no tomorrow.

Is EtH that hell bent on getting Frenkie that he thinks there isn't any other midfielder in the world that can do the job? If we start the season with McFred and drop points then I would have little sympathy for EtH. The arrogance to disregard Rangnick's input and then having no backup options for someone who doesn't even want to be here is poor imo. The board is also useless given the lack of preparation for the season that starts in 3 weeks.
This. He can rot in Barcelona where he isn't appreciated and I predict that he would ache for a move sooner rather than later.Feck this guy
Let's get someone else.
Its OK.
Did we need a left fullback in Malacia? Not doubting his quality but hardly a pressing need. We've 4 left fullbacks in Williams, Laird, Telles and Shaw. Granted not great quality, but again.. not in dire need of attention.
Martinez, again good player from all reports... handy versatile option. Unsure of him at CB in the premier league.. he's gonna get smashed up by Haaland, Nunez and the rest I'd imagine.
Eriksen - Great signing.
It's about a 6 for me so far at best.
Quoted for truth and sense
Are you stupid? Bissouma and Richarlison have already si...... Oh, I see what you've done there
I’d imagine he’s still on his wages increment plan that was agreed during covid. But it would still mean he’s owed money even up to today which would balance out to his original 400k per week.
@Berbaclass in the mud?
Yeah this changes everything for me. If this is true, then it's done.
Spot on.
Lies, he's signing any day now - we all know it!
He did pocket both of them when Ajax played against Dortmund and Benfica in the CL and don't think it was a one-off, so guess we'll see.
If nothing happens, then by default Barca are paying him the owed money next season and they're not registering some of their new signings, so doing nothing is absolutely the worst possible outcome for them. So one way or another it'll get resolved.
ETH is jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes.
All about who we move onto next now. Business needs to be done sharply
Oh yea of little faith
This saga has gone round and round in circles until we've actually travelled back in time to when Bissouma and Richarlison had not completed their transfers to Spurs.
Nah we aint going anywhere, United are in this for the long haul as reported
