[QUOTE="Philby, post: 7080682, member: 1802"] Given De Jong has ultimately had a pretty underwhelming spell at Barca I think the Catalans were doing well to get Man Utd to agree to take him off their hands for pretty much the same fee that they paid for him (~€85m) All morals aside, it's highly ambitious (borderline deluded) to expect the buying club to also fork out an extra €15m on deferred wages But Chelsea's new owner is keen to show off his new toy so they might just get lucky. It did feel odd that they didn't actively pursue (or at least leak something to that effect) an alternative target once it started to stall. Especially once De Jong joined Barca's US tour. If they pivot to another option just shy of the new season they'll risk getting taken to the cleaners. You'd wonder what the nature of the comms were between De Jong & Ten Hag throughout the summer (directly or indirectly). Feels like it was a case of unrequited love, so was odd that Ten Hag seemed to go all in on him..? [/QUOTE]
