We did a Euro 2012 thread pool. Which @ThaPrez won.

There are 2 reasons why not to bring money involved. A) Do you really trust to give money to some Internet random to hold for 10 months? B) Something could happen to the bursar for whatever reason and the moneys gone and then people got questions.

Let me keep it

It doesn't matter whether we move on or continue chasing FDJ through August, McFred is still starting either way

Sixth Street have now purchased 25% of Barca's income from LaLiga television rights for the next 25 years, having bought 10% for €207.5m at the end of June.

This is wild How they gonna get out of the debt if they keep on buying more players and piling on the debt?

Paying 50m for a 34 year old Lewandowski is crazy

Only if you take those reports seriously. Obviously Ten Hag had a conversation with FDJ and if Frenkie told him to go fukk himself he would've moved on like with Timber

That's a video of Murtough and Arnold negotiating with Barcelona and agreeing on a fee for FDJ. They wouldn't be begging FDJ in a meeting with Barcelona.

FDJ doesn't want to leave Barca and Champions League but Barcelona is kicking him out. They're using their financial situation as an excuse, they clearly think he's easily replaceable and don't value him that much. And by the looks of it other clubs are not really bending over backwards to sign him either, they tried to manufacture Chelsea interest for him So while FDJ isn't ecstatic to come to United, it's his only option and ETH's presence helps.

Even if United's hierarchy is still completely incompetent and never talked to the player, we know ETH made the call.

The real hold up is the 17m he's owed.
