What isn’t right is Barca and the deferred wages. My own impression from a mixture of facts and speculation that we’ve seen all summer is that de Jong’s preference all summer has been to sign for ten hag; otherwise ten hag wouldn’t have kept up the pursuit, other clubs would have been publicly in for him along with us, and Chelsea would have made a move weeks ago after meeting Barca. Ever since that Chelsea meeting, I think Barca have likely been trying to force de Jong away from United by being a @#%&! with him. Probably because a club like Chelsea offered to help solve Barca’s issue with the deferred wages somehow, whereas united haven’t played ball because they know de Jong prefers them. Chelsea is likely now being presented to de Jong as he escape route, the compromise solution in his standoff with Barca, where he gets what he’s owed if he goes there instead. Which is why Chelsea are now supposedly making their move after Barca have treated de Jong like shit since that Chelsea meeting. So it’s a question of how committed de Jong is to joining ten hag at united over any alternative compromise offers from clubs Barca prefer because they’re offering Barca a better deal, and how much balls he has in making a stand that could leave him high and dry if Barca don’t blink over the United situation. I suspect he’ll compromise and go to Chelsea. Barca get what they want, player gets the money and probably a shitload in wages and signing on fee. Can’t see him being that resistant to London and the champions’ league, no matter how much he’d have preferred ten hag. Up to ten hag to decide what to do in response, as I’m sure de Jong will tell ten hag before anything is done and dusted. Quote:

Chelsea would have made a move a month ago if he preferred them. Doesn’t mean he won’t go there, but it doesn’t look his preference. Quote:

Wow so much utter nonsense.
FDJ will join United if he has to, would much rather stay at Barca but it’s clear that option isn’t there so is playing hardball for his money. If he gets it, he’ll arrive at OT, if he doesn’t he stays and absolutely £#%&!s Barca all ends up on €540k a week (apparently they don’t pay wages monthly but 6 monthly and have to send the money to a sort of holding area or escrow well in advance, so they currently have absolutely millions tied up for Frenkie that they get back, plus interest, if they manage to sell him). Chelsea won’t be signing him. They’re trying to chuck £150m at defenders and need a striker. I’d be more worried about them stealing Sesko tbh. Ngl, I’m at the point where I half want to see him stay at Barca to see the fall out |

When I say ‘worried’ it’s relative to my concern about FDJ to Chelsea, which I’m not arsed about at all. |

Midfield is not a problem area for Chelsea. If they whack out a load on de Jong and lose a couple more defenders in the process just because this new bloke is getting desperate then I could easily see them fall out of contention and Tuchel sacked before the weather turns warm again. Tommy T doesn't strike me as the type who deals well with adversity.

Obviously I've only seen de Jong a fraction of the times I've seen Carrick, but a choice between the two - in Carrick's prime - isn't a choice at all imo. |

Carrick was better than FDJ absolutely NQAT

Midfield is a problem for them. Kante always injured. Only really Kante + Kovacic who are decent at the club. |

Personally still think that Frenkie will sign, not sure I care what Gary Neville has to say, but if it doesn’t happen then it might be time to dust the pitchforks off as we really needed a solid DM about 5 years ago - enough is enough. |
