lol. Frenkie por qué. Was always strange that United were the only club seriously pursuing a deal for De Jong.
If he goes to Chelsea then fair enough. They're a side who finished ahead of us in the league, yet still seem far more ambitious in their transfer plans. Would be an example of the Glazers not pulling through yet again.

If we don't brink in another striker and DM, I have zero hopes for this season to be any better than lasts.
By Willkiller Go To PostHave Chelsea been linked with any strikers?!
Topher
By Laboured Go To Postall fake news
Whew
That story is told in Barca, a recent book by Financial Times journalist Simon Kuper, who offers a further window into Barcelona’s desperation when he recounts a conversation with a UEFA official.
In his book, Kuper claims the UEFA official dined with a Barcelona counterpart in February 2020 and during the meal, the Camp Nou official complained about what he perceived to be the governing body’s light touch on Financial Fair Play when it came to Manchester City and PSG, who are both owned by funds or individuals linked to nation-states. This, the argument went, had created an environment in which Barcelona would struggle to compete financially, such is the wealth at the two clubs’ disposal.
Kuper writes: “Eventually, the Barca official asked, ‘Is there anyone in your FFP department we could pay?’. The UEFA official understood that his counterpart was trying to find somebody to bribe.”

They announced a new major deal with Spotify in March, which is said to be worth €62.5million per year to sponsor the men’s and women’s teams (Barcelona women’s side were reigning European champions at the time), the training kits and the Camp Nou.That's not a super deal.
They committed a combined €375million on Philippe Coutinho, Dembele, Paulinho, Nelson Semedo, Gerard Deulofeu and Malcom. The following season, a further €273million went on Antoine Griezmann, De Jong, Martin Braithwaite, Neto, Junior Firpo, Emerson and Marc Cucurella.😮
For example, at one point, they wanted Leeds to legally agree the player’s transfer in this window, but potentially wait until the next one in January to actually process it and receive the cash for him if it turned out that Barcelona could not register him before deadline day at the start of next month.😵
By Laboured Go To PostWhat's his name?
By Laboured Go To PostWhewBribing officials now, smh.
By Willkiller Go To PostFor the PL this season:
Thank fuck for that (on both counts)
Especially the bottom one. That drove me nuts, especially since it was often one on ones, players would get desperate and tackles would be rash.

Both really annoyed me to be honest, the first because of the mind-numbing discourse it generated. The offside stuff was fucking infuriating true, it's still open to some kind of interpretation so hopefully the officials trust their own judgements more again because pre-VAR yes they fucked up sometimes but generally they got it right
By bud Go To Posthow often did the top one even happen?
Enough that certain people here began to Just Ask Questions about the rise in medical emergencies in stadiums.

It did seem like it was occuring more, or at least games being stopped to highlight that something off play was happening.
By Frustrated_me Go To PostIncredible, these people know Fifa makes billions and billions every year, right?Are these the same "volunteers" that built the stadiums?
