"Let my Frenkie Go! Or tonight the first born of La Masia will perish! And then a second plague. It will rain broken levers day and night."Oh wow
I'm starting to think it might be time to walk away. This is a mess of biblical proportions.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Because Barca want to bring in some bidding war. Blame for not finding a backup but not for this.
They pursued someone who had 0 intention of coming to Manutd.
Its like going after a girl who doesn't want to be with you. Quite clear who the fool is here.
Anyway, Frenkie Tuesday tomorrow.
Pursuing a target for 3 months in a position that the team lacks proper personnel for years is the definition of incompetence. It is of course United's fault, are you serious?
With 4 dragons out it now turns to Deborah Meaden, has she seen something in Murtoughs transfer strategy worth investing in?
I'm calling it, too. Worst window ever. Absolute fecking jokers.
They're 'avin' a giggle, m8!
Clear as day that this one is dead in the water - at least for us.
Putting all our eggs in one basket possibly. However, this really really doesn't show Barca in a good light at all-easily the worst party in all of this
you'll see
I got a "No memes in the FF" for 1 infraction point for meme'ing in the Arnatovic TF.
Sheeeeeiiiiiit. If they wanted easy point infractions they should have booked a suite at Hotel Frenkie right here in Meme City.

This is one of the most bizarre transfer sagas I've ever witnessed.
I've finally reached the point I won't even be happy if we sign him. I just want this all to go away. feck Barcelona, feck Murtough, and feck Frenkie, I hope you fail miserably at Chelsea.
Any player that has not got banned for racism would be a good base to start from.
How about a cheeky bid for Silva?
If nothing else this has been quite the rollercoaster. Could make it into a book with all the lies, cheating and what not. Classic transfer saga.
I'm in until Barcelona find a way to register their players.
All these latest developments don't solve that so change nothing really. Just more evidence of Barcelona trying to push him out, we'll see what happens come Friday

Imagine seeing this vs McTominay and thinking we wouldn't be a far superior side immediately with just him in the team alone. It would be the Pereira for Bruno upgrade in 2020 x10.
This is a myth. It’s extremely easy to circumnavigate. An increased “transfer fee” or signing on fee gets around the issue.
That's exactly what I am doing already.
We the fans deserve what is happening to us. A majority of the fans are still pining for the old days of SAF. Blind devotion to anything the manager says and demands. If those are not met, the majority of the fanbase assumes the manager isn't backed. It's ridiculous that 40.7% believe that we should hang in there till ETH says. It utter stupidity. PL is getting more and more competitive these days and all our rivals have strengthened, signed players much earlier and are ready for this season. Here we are still pining after a midfielder who clearly has no intention of coming without his 17m or has no intention of ever playing for us. Instead of asking ETH to pick another target much earlier and integrate him the team, we have wasted the entire preseason and are looking like absolute fecking idiots. Pathetic.
No it doesn't because Barca have to pay it to him
Regarding sign on fee, it would be subject to UK tax, AND a signon fee has to be within some limits doesn't it?
I’m starting to develop a grudge against De Jong All these don’t want United/Manchester reports true or not are annoying. Feels like the guy is constantly shitting on United
All these don’t want United/Manchester reports true or not are annoying. Feels like the guy is constantly shitting on UnitedSo I just had a meeting, are things happening? Is he doing time?
I still want to believe...but I hope United are not being like Ricky here after Sharon and Wicksey (LaPorta and Xavi) try and convince Frenkie to leave!
I heard that Barcas new contract offer, with way lower numbers also had a few other "perks"
One was that Frenkie had to give up the rights for his first born son. And during the name giving ceremony they had to name the boy: Frenkie Jr De Joan Lapjong.
In order to stay at Barca of course.

Considering he's not said anything to the media, we're just taking others words as the truth because that's all we have.I’m starting to develop a grudge against De Jong
We'll know sooner or later what's true and what's not
If the de Jong deal eventually goes thru, we’ll know Laporta’s response to Frenkie’s fiancée offer is “she’s too old.”
You seem pretty certain so we will see i guess.Cheers. I'd love to be proven wrong
Dude, don’t be that naive. Of course Barca has to pay it him “legally”. But there is absolutely no law that stops Utd paying 17m more than the verbally agreed transfer fee. Utd can pay 200m if they wanted.
This nonsense about Utd can’t legally pay the owed wages is a myth. Technically it’s true. Practically it’s very easy to get past.
I am sure there will be further investigations by Tebas into their levers. Laporta will need further redirections
Basically Sesko ain’t coming and we’re fecked a little bit further.
The only thing left is for us to announce him as our new signing like Alpine did with Piastri
Again Barca would still have to pay it to him (which they don't seem like they want to do) or did you forget the transfer fee already increased from what was previously agreed to try and push this along?
Wow, how are you struggling to grasp this?
The fee Utd agreed with Barca was weeks ago. Barca and Utd can easily agree to a higher transfer fee to cover the wages.
Utd put 17m extra into Barcas account for the transfer fee. Barca pay FDJ 17m.
It really isn’t that hard mate.
And you trust Barcelona to pay him? I'd say it's 50/50 they just say that's the new fee and still say he isn't owed anything.
I fear we're going to have to do this the hard way - prove to the world that we are still a Champion's League club and not a toxic joke. Then we can expect world class players to come here again willingly, not booted out of their old club kicking and screaming.
That is the part you seem to be missing, they don't want to do that, and it would be on their accountsWow, how are you struggling to grasp this?

Fortunately, Ornstein says differently
