Can understand why ETH wants FDJ but at some point you really need to move on.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
At some point you have to move on. That point should be defined by broader objectives and facts, whereas on forums like this we're mainly driven by the emotions of impatience and pessimism.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If everything was driven by objectives and facts then this would be a pretty boring forum ? Isn't the point of a platform like this to be opinionated and emotional ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not everything needs to be driven by rational objectives and facts, but I'd prefer that my club's €80 million investments are.

Issue is neves and tielemans don’t fit his style maybe?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Other than trying to relocate a load of his former Ajax players.. what exactly is his style ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You do realise that transfer targets and style of play are not the same thing?

It's amazing that Barcelona are allowed to operate as they do.
Getting existing players to defer large parts of their salaries, then the club going out and signing new players.
Presumably these new players will then be earning a shedload more than the existing players because of agreed pay deferments... until the new players themselves are asked to defer their wages to make room for more signings....
Can't be good for morale surely?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's a Ponzi scheme.

Oh don’t get me wrong this is all on Barca and not our dimwit negotiators.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I know. I just actually need to write it down to believe it! How terribly are Barca run? If ETH wants FDJ then I think it's worth it to persevere as long as we don't pay a ridiculous price in a panic. I think Barca will blink first here.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Regardless of the FDJ circus, why, and if it indeed is, is this holding up other deals? The negotiating team are imbeciles. I think this is pretty clear. Particularly with getting a new manager in and not doing everything in your power to back him? It’s scandalous. I’m not asking the club to go out and buy 6 players for £100mil, and I’m fairly sure Ten Hag isn’t either. It’s getting to the point where the club is embarrassing itself now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's odd that people with absolutely no insight, experience or competence can talk in this way.
Usually, the thickest person in the room thinks they are the smartest.
Please name our 'negotiating team' and give a good, detailed account of what they have done so far.
Or admit you have no clue what so ever and are coming to ignorant conclusions based on your feelings and some twitter posts you have seen.
Have a go at answering your own question. Why do you think this may have held things up? None of us will know but my 13 year can play devil's advocate and offer more than one reason that this might be contributing to a general hold up. Or do you not possess the critical thinking ability to consider things outside of your immediate emotional thoughts?
I can already tell that this will be misconstrued as me being 'pro glazer' or some nonsense.

The insight I have is that Judge is still involved as part of our negotiating team. And there is quite a few seasons worth of screw ups involving him to use as a reference. I will just leave Sanchez as a starting point and Jones as his most recent incompetence for you.
Thanks for your input though.

United - We hear that Barca need to sell you. Fancy a move to United? Wed love to have you?
FDJ - Im settled in Barcelona, but if I have to leave, id definetly be interested in a move to United. One thing. Barca owe me £10m, which i dont want to write off.
United - OK. We will ask Barcelona what their position is re your future, and your £10m.
United - Hi. We want De Jong. What will it cost to get him?
Barca - You can have him for £65m, but he'd have to write off the £5m we owe him, as we cant give it him at the moment.
United - We can go to £50m + £10m in add ons, but you will need to sort out the outstanding wages between you.
Barca - OK. We will get back to you.
FDJ - Barca want me to write off ALL of the money they owe me. I cant do it.
And thats where we are

Offer to pay Barca a total of 10m (which they can then use to pay the player the money they owe) and leave it at that. Walk away from negotiations and onto another target if they drag their feet or don't accept.
They're fecked and need him off the books the absolute jokers.
