Worst scout to ever exist
I won't be comfortable til he's done. What a signing...
This is peak Simon Stone. Confirm that the clubs have agreed a fee, but then word it like the deal could collapse quicker than a blackholeSimon Stone always comes in with the two footed crunching tackles in these transfers right at the last moments.
This is done.
Like clockworkI can’t wait for the usual hullabaloo to happen when transfers are at this stage. Simon Stone will post a fence sitting tweet. Shrager will say it’s not done yet despite earlier reports. Howard Nurse will post ’Frenkie de Jong then’ etc

The Murtough redemption arcIf that truly is the fee, the we have to concede that that is some damn good negotiation by Utd
Agent fees, wages etc?Fee agreed but still 'significant issues' ? Nah. This is done. 'Deal agreed' announcement tonight or tomorrow and he'll be announced early next week in the new kit.
I know, nobody had even considered the idea of Haaland going to City a year ago when they started negotiating.You lot don’t half drag transfers out. Take a leaf from the neighbours and do it stealth.
Nah, I'm not having them as significant issues. That stuff will all have been being sorted prior to the official bid to BarcaAgent fees, wages etc?
Hes not overpriced, and who says he doesn't want to come?Barca looking to replace DeJong with Carlos Soler from Valencia for €25m. Why did we go after him for that price? He’s a full international and good enough for Barca he’s good enough for us. The sort of signing City would make as they don’t get blinded by media hype which our board do. The media dictate who we sign because there’s nobody at the club to do it. The DeJong saga has gone on for too long. If we get him, and it been close for two weeks, we get an overpriced player that does want to be at the club. He can’t possible give 100% however professional he is.Another shitshow transfer windows.
I'd presume personal terms, he could be asking for an astronomical wage considering what he's currently on.Not sure what the "significant issues" are if the fee is agreed. If it's at that stage and the club have told Simon the fee is agreed then they are very confident of wrapping it up.
Classic Stone tweet.Tweet

Why do we even negotiate?£56m plus add ons to take it to a maximum of £73m.
That's a really good piece of business.
It's more the fact nobody cares about the neighbours, hence why there is no noise. United are still press money makers.You lot don’t half drag transfers out. Take a leaf from the neighbours and do it stealth.
Oh shut up.Barca looking to replace DeJong with Carlos Soler from Valencia for €25m. Why did we go after him for that price?

You wouldn't get this far without agreeing that first.I'd presume personal terms, he could be asking for an astronomical wage considering what he's currently on.
What is he currently on? Barca really screw themselves over with the wages they pay.I'd presume personal terms, he could be asking for an astronomical wage considering what he's currently on.
Oh shut up.
Requested by Ten Hag and marked as vital to his system/playstylye that's is all we need to know. Forget the hype, the price and all the other shit, the manager was promised backing, so he gets his man.Barca looking to replace DeJong with Carlos Soler from Valencia for €25m.

Perhaps, Barcelona is owing him wage. They don't want to pay him off now, so require financing the payment. My educated guess from the rumor about their wage debt to a host of players. Or a classic Simon Stones. Who knows?Not sure what the "significant issues" are if the fee is agreed. If it's at that stage and the club have told Simon the fee is agreed then they are very confident of wrapping it up.
Some people are just dedicated to turn everything into a negative.. Their comfort zone is to be upset, to know better, and to nag and whine..Barca looking to replace DeJong with Carlos Soler from Valencia for €25m. Why did we go after him for that price?

You'd think so but if the fee is agreed I can't see what else would be considered a "significant" stumbling block.You wouldn't get this far without agreeing that first.
Somewhere between of 300k - 400k a week, every source seems to say something different.What is he currently on? Barca really screw themselves over with the wages they pay.
Usually I would agree. But ETH knows what he needs and there is little risk signing a player he knows well. Goodness knows we could do with players who already understand what the new coach wants rather than having to teach it. This is a foundational piece of the puzzle. Everything fits after that.Barca looking to replace DeJong with Carlos Soler from Valencia for €25m. Why did we go after him for that price?

They will absolutely owe him money. They owe Messi and Pique over €100 Million I think.Perhaps, Barcelona is owing him wage. They don't want to pay him off now. My educated guess from the rumor about their wage debt to a host of players. Or a classic Simon Stones. Who knows?
I feel like Romanos sources are barcelona agents or someone related to them.Tweet

Briefing SImon Stone is the biggest indicator for me. They are bullish.This is done and dusted. No way we agree a fee without knowing what the player wants already.
No doubt some background paperwork needs filling out, a work permit etc. It's safe to say he's ours lads.
Romano's sources are twitter.I feel like Romanos sources are barcelona agents or someone related to them.
This.Oh shut up.

TBH I pity them a bit. Imagine if our best and most 'loyal' player bankrupted us because he kept asking for silly pay rises to remain 'loyal'. They even bought his pitiful farewell (cries and all) despite the fact that he wanted to leave them just a year before.Weird that to a man they seem to miss that the “desperate” ones here are Barça, moreso
than United, it’s like they’ve head their collective heads in the sand for the past 18 months.
But then “levers”…
