Nope!Is he wrong?
Nope!Is he wrong?
Read your response wrong.Yes, I agree. That's why I said that he was correct in saying that we shouldn't have gone anywhere near him.
I disagree. Every player that we've let go needed to go. And we've signed 2 first team players and one who will be pushing for the first team soon enough, unless Shaw has an upturn in form.Read your response wrong.
I think it is the worst window given the players we let go / have lost since the start of last season and what we have brought in in comparison
Perspective. Considering we've just come off our worst season in decades I'd definitely argue it's our worst. Most fans knew what we had to do and we've failed in almost every aspect. Eriksen is literally the only positive going by that first match and that's nowhere even close to being enough. Although it's not over it's not looking like a promising end to the window.That it's the worst transfer window we've had under the Glazers? Yes
That we were wrong for trying to sign Arnautovic? No
Doesn't stop him being a miserable shit though
This.seems obv Frenkie has a contract that says if he states his desire to leave Barca are not on the hook for any further payments
So his people have told him to continually say he wants to stay at Barca. Putting the club at fault for offloading him and thus owing him a shed load of wages
Meanwhile he's told Ten Hag once this has been sorted he will move to United. Hence we have not pulled out.
We end the window with Rabiot and Frenkie as midfield signings. Not Rabiot over Frenkie
And despite the whole world saying United are at sea it works out quite well for us in terms of Ten Hags rebuild which was always a multi season project and not as the media try to paint it, to have a finished team in place to attack Pool and City by August.
Keep the faith. This is the long game
Don't disagree, we have not adequately replaced Matic, Greenwood, or Cavani so our squad is weaker than at the start of last season.I disagree. Every player that we've let go needed to go. And we've signed 2 first team players and one who will be pushing for the first team soon enough, unless Shaw has an upturn in form.
Granted, we'll be a bit short if we don't get an attacker and a midfielder or two over the line before the end of the month
If de Jong or his agent says that the want to have a sit down, I expect Boehly will show up with his checkbook.Whilst I have no doubt that Laporta wants De Jong out, and that little push/pull performance is just a dance for the Fans so they don't blame him for De Jong leaving, I don't think the Chelsea interest is entirely made up. I also think maybe the club and Ten Hag have realised they can't let this go to the wire and have nothing done.
Just another day checking the news
One things that does not sit right is that quite a lot it has been said that he does not want to join United and would prefer a UCL club like Chelsea, lets see whats happens but that part is a little worrying if you ask meseems obv Frenkie has a contract that says if he states his desire to leave Barca are not on the hook for any further payments

It’s not like it’s the first time this happened? I thought they’ve been doing this for one or two seasons now?He is going to start their match this weekend right ? Seeing as they have not be able to register any of their new signings yet. Wonder how all those new players are feeling right now watching their first game of the season from the stands.
I thought if they didn't register their players by this weekend, then they couldn't, or something?He is going to start their match this weekend right ?

deadline should be end of transfer window?I thought if they didn't register their players by this weekend, then they couldn't, or something?
Or was the deadline just that they wanted them done for the first game? So it's not a deadline at all?
I think they can register until the transfer window closes? Seeing as clubs can still make transfers even after the season starts. So I think they have until Sept 1st to register them, not sure though.I thought if they didn't register their players by this weekend, then they couldn't, or something?

They can register as long as the window is open, but they'll miss the first matches, yeahI thought if they didn't register their players by this weekend, then they couldn't, or something?

Yeah, I think that's probably the hard deadline, but there has been a lot of talk about August 13th, which must just be the deadline to register players for their first gamedeadline should be end of transfer window?
Pique and Busquets will take pay cuts and they will register the players.He is going to start their match this weekend right ? Seeing as they have not be able to register any of their new signings yet. Wonder how all those new players are feeling right now watching their first game of the season from the stands.
Yeah, I think you're right. I misunderstood the talk of this August 13th 'deadline' I thinkI think they can register until the transfer window closes? Seeing as clubs can still make transfers even after the season starts. So I think they have until Sept 1st to register them, not sure though.
There'll still be people saying that everything is fine at Barca..They can register as long as the window is open, but they'll miss the first matches, yeah
Can't be bothered to give them clicks, what did he say?Tweet

Just imagine for a second how the whole country, nevermind the press, would lay into us if we couldn't register our star signing for the first matchThere'll still be people saying that everything is fine at Barca..
And rightfully soJust imagine for a second how the whole country, nevermind the press, would lay into us if we couldn't register our star signing for the first match
I'm baffled it hasn't dawned on our fans, let alone our club management. We have wasted what... three summers on Barca midfield targets? Got none, but we go again.All the football brass at Manchester City are hardcore Barsa people. They will do what they can to help them as long as it doesn't affect the interests of their Emirati owners. Including accepting less than true market value for Bernardo Silva. I bet you that if it had been Real Madrid that had wanted to buy the player, the amount would have been much, much higher.
Not just one signing but like 6 new players. If we were in that situation we would never hear the end of it.Just imagine for a second how the whole country, nevermind the press, would lay into us if we couldn't register our star signing for the first match
You'd get parliament enquiries about it if we pulled the shit Barca are tryingNot just one signing but like 6 new players. If we were in that situation we would never hear the end of it.
Typical response from journo is go britishAgreed and thats probably the exact reason we're not.
Add to that the fact that maybe the manager doesn't want him.
Comments like this make me laugh, they lambast the club for not learning from previous mistakes and then implore them to go and sign the latest big money available player
Maguire, AWB & Dan James.That it's the worst transfer window we've had under the Glazers? Yes
I really doubt an agent who has 3 clients at our club, would string us along. Nor would Frenkie do the same to the manager who gave him his big break.I’m actually now fully convinced that this bitch face Frenkie doesn’t want to come here at all. It would have been done by now or even before the Brighton game if he had wanted to
Ten Hag and the club have been stringed and they have finally now realised this and thus we are moving onto the alternatives. I just hope the manager still has a system or plan in place now that he can’t get his top target into the team
Captain, dross, sold for a profitMaguire, AWB & Dan James.
Thank God for Bielsa.Captain, dross, sold for a profit
Every word he said is spot on. Just when you think the club has hit rock bottom they go and embarrass everyone further.Tweet
