'Frenkie de Jong is an employee and should be paid what he is owed in full. Barcelona should be better than this, but apparently Barcelona aren’t.' twoht
Frenkie de Jong agreed to defer on his wages. But now he wants to leave, Barcelona want to renege on the agreement they struck with him. That’s bullsh*t.It takes a degree of audacity to be truly terrible and there can be a point at which – regardless of what you may think of the ethics of whatever somebody has done – it can be difficult not to stand back and admire the chutzpah.
This would all be galling enough, but the fact that it’s happening while Barcelona are loudly proclaiming their entitlement to spend £100m on RaphinhaRobert Lewandowski is what makes it really stick in the craw.
Of course, Barcelona aren’t going to change their spots. They spoke loftily for years about their shirts being too pure for sponsorship, and when they did accept it, it was piously for a charity even though it was clearly it was all also a trailer for coming shirt sponsorship. But high ideals don’t win tasty, tasty silverware or pay wages that the club’s income couldn’t support.
