Scholay, how do you feel about Ronaldo? Does being wrong about that temper your party here?

posted on 22/9/22

I've seen him a few times this season for Barcelona ... He ain't worth the trouble. Bang average.
Eriksen is twice the player FDJ is and we got him for free

OP having mare here. I think that most people thought that FDJ would prefer to stay at Barca, some thought that there might be a chance that be would move to United due to how Barca were carrying on and our ongoing interest. FDJ's comments don't change any of that.

And it is no surprise to hear a player that has ended up staying at a club come out and say that he wanted to leave. What else is he going to say?

There's 'no smoke without fire' when it comes to just about any transfer story.

It works 1 of 2 ways.

Either the player wants a move, speaks to his agent and the agent in turn speaks to his media contacts.

or

The club want the player sold, speak to his agent and the agent in turn speaks to his media contacts.

That's literally how 'transfer rumours' come to exist.

Very occasionally the papers will take a punt, but in doing so leave themselves open to libel so they will only do so if they have strong enough feelings it could have merit.

If a club come in for a player, again the club will notify the agent who will speak to his client (the player). If its a deal that the player is keen on, it tends to proceed fairly smoothly. If the player isn't keen (and more often than not they're not), the agent will again speak to his contacts and drum up more interest.

It's a system as old as time and it works.

Anyone outside of that group of parties can only speculate based on the limited information they've been drip fed.

OP you are talking facts, sadly many here just can't comprehend how ETH and United spent a whole transfer window chasing a player who even told them he has zero plans to leave.

Sounds insane so they refuse to believe it but this is exactly what happened. How do I know? I made about 5 threads on this topic during the window. I know(not bragging) a jurno who works for Barca's TV station and often times with La Liga itself.

He had even said FDJ has told ETH he LOVES Barca and has never ever imagined leaving he even told them(the club) he wants to retire at Barca. He said this both in public and private. Now however what DID happen was that Barca tried to push him out and this is why a fee was agreed with United.

But at no point did FDJ ever say he wishes to leave to anyone nor did he ever ask for "money which is owed" he doesnt believe anything is owed and fully understand what deferred wages means unlike many people online simple don't understand. He agreed to defer the wages which clearly meant if he leaves he would not get what was deferred to later in his contact as he didn't see it out. He has now possibly(not yet confirmed) agreed to take a 40% pay cut and forgo the deferred wages because in his own words He loves the club and wants to retire there.

The only facts on display are in the quotation marks of FJD's interview and they reveal nothing new.

Nothing else you or the OP have added contains any facts.

What a load of waffle. Most accepted he probably preferred to stay at Barca. That doesn't alter the fact that Barca appeared to be doing everything to get rid of him and their seemed to be chance he would be on the move. Nothing has changed on that.

The only thing this article reveals is that I told your slow cranium this player is not coming to Manchester United come close of window.

You were given multiple reasons as to why this won't happen but hell bent on arguing.

You are now moving the goalposts you swine. I have never met an individual incapable of just admitting I got it wrong. It is funny seeing you doing all this clutching

"I, Ji Sung Park's Cousin, admit that i guessed wrong when I said we might have a chance to sign FDJ from Barcelona FC. Scholay guessed right and deserves every accolade he receives on this momentous day".

Looks pretty gracious to me.

That's not the reason you've had a howler.

You should be able to work it out for yourself, given you seem to believe that you're *not* a simpleton.

No-one is moving any goalposts. You are just doing that daft thing you do when you say someone has said something that they haven't then argued against it. I think most accepted he probably preferred to stay at Barca, but felt that there was a chance he might move on. Nothing has changed.

Let him write his essays that I made something up and arguing against nothing.

He is good at it. Changed his tone dramatically to now waffle. Something he is really good at.

I knew when I was writing this no chance the clowns will show up to state, " I was wrong." The goalposts is now being moved
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What do you expect him to say? I want to leave Barca but they owe me a lot of money that I wasnt going to forfeit, so hey ho here we are.

Of course he says what he says. He is still employed by them. You still do not know if you are right or wrong. You cannot trust that what he says in that interview are his real feelings.

Think about it for a second man, stop being so hysterical.
