So Mr Barcola is still a done deal is it? Been a done deal for like what 3 weeks now? Maybe the ITK’s in here can hopefully explain why it’s taking till deadline day to announce this signing. Is he wrapped up in a nice little box in Anfield waiting for deadline day to come so he can burst out of it and surprise the fans? Either way it’s not helping the team is it.
Whilst the other lot up north London are showing us how it’s done.
{Ed025's Note - i think VG has explained the situation very well KE, please read his post on the matter mate..

The absolute cheek of some people, another unappreciative keyboard warrior who wouldn't say boo in the street, biting the hand that feeds him.

I know a hissy fit when I see one.
20 Aug 2026 12:47:03
What an insensitive post aimed at the ITKs....
99% of people here welcome and appreciate the posts by those ITKs, and then there are these 1% that simply ruin this for everyone.
20 Aug 2026 12:51:43
It is rather baffling as to what's taking so long, but you've got to just trust the process and the itk's....... No news is good news?

United fan. ?

I think based on their posting history, "Kop" definitely needs to be replaced with "Bell".
20 Aug 2026 12:40:21
Should be ashamed of that username, what a troll.
20 Aug 2026 13:02:04
@KopEnd1-
Is it any wonder why ITK's are staying away and saying they won't post anymore when you get ranting like that.
Best thing for you would be to go and lie down in a darkened room for a while, when you wake up things may have changed.
20 Aug 2026 13:26:22
I'm ever the conspiracy theorist. Is it just stupid people posting, or an organized attempt to thwart the courageous work of our itk's??

Ripping posters down is part and parcel of this site, mate, but Yh YNWA I guess.

The irony of this being a previous reply from the same individual

Kopend1 - wind your neck in!
20 Aug 2026 13:39:25
I'd suggest the former, GB.
20 Aug 2026 13:44:31
The issue is the club, not ITK. All signings should have been done a long time ago. Absolutely horrid how they dropped the ball this bad. Poor Iraola.
20 Aug 2026 13:28:27
And And as usual ask a question in here and get attacked if it someone don't like it at least ED025 could reply without sounding like a hurt ex girlfriend. it was not an attack at the ITKs I never once said they are lying or anything I'm wondering what the hold up was and since they are ITK if they could spread any light on it I just added some sarcasm that's all.
isn't football meant to be banter and discussion absolutely weirdos man some of you. get a grip!
20 Aug 2026 13:52:33
There's a reason there's a deadline, and people need to just chill out a bit. We all know the areas where we need replacement and reinforcements, so just curb the extreme hunger for "shiny new toys right now".
Iraola knows very well what he needs, and he'll make the decisions he needs to. We get so little accurate information as it is, and then to go after those who provide that little information is just either childish or senile.
20 Aug 2026 14:01:30
Think about it, guys, if it wasn't for the guys on here and social media, the only thing you'd know is that we spoke to PSG weeks ago, but they wanted too much money so the deal is difficult.
We probably would've forgotten about Barcola by now and be pleasantly surprised when the deal is announced.
It's the need to have blow by blow updates that causes the frustration.
People like VG are good enough to try to fill that void, and give us updates when they get info. They just get constant criticism for it.
Just chill out, the club knows what needs to be done, and I'm sure they are working hard to do it. We all just need to relax and wait for the announcement.
20 Aug 2026 14:23:35
I'm frustrated as well but, I think maybe this will go to deadline day in the hope we get the price we want to pay because it's obvious PSG do not want him there.
We probably have the money they want, and if even on deadline day they don't budge, we'll pay it.
20 Aug 2026 14:28:55
It's from a place of frustration, not any personal attack. Again, I have never personally attacked any poster on here, let alone the ITKs that dish useful information. As I said, it's frustration. It was not fun going to watch this team play last season, and the team has gotten weaker, so it's frustrating that it could possibly be the same thing.
So, for the other fans in this forum that are quick to dish abuse for any little thing, how about try (I know it may be quite hard for some of you) and have a discussion first, because my posts and venting might not always be right, but if the only way you can reply to it is by abuse, then that says more about you. And to the ITK guys, keep up the good work.
20 Aug 2026 14:38:06
@Barilla, with the best will in the world, you have unrealistic expectations.
20 Aug 2026 14:52:39
I think you know very well that most have replied to the cynicism and sarcasm in your "question" post, and not really the intent behind it.
20 Aug 2026 13:53:24
Nobody needs to explain anything. People are passing on info they hear at that time with good intentions, they certainly don't need to explain themselves to some anonymous bed wetter.
20 Aug 2026 14:14:21
Listen here Schrödinger's A**hole, you didn't ask a genuine question, so don't try to play it off like that and act the victim now, at least have the balls to stand by what you say.
20 Aug 2026 16:13:40
This popcorn is tasty....

Plenty of question marks in your post, OP, but no actual questions, as they are all rhetorical. Plus your tone is that of an impatient teenager who, if he doesn't get his own way, stamps his little feet.
But just for fun:
1. The deal being done is a viewpoint. Some take it as signed, sealed and delivered. Others take it as everything is sorted and just the i's need dotting and t's crossing. It's up to you, which you believe.
2. Stop overexaggerating. I know we live in a world of convenience and instant gratification, but that's not how transfers work in reality, things take time.
3. Another overexaggeration, the deadline is not for another couple of weeks and it won't take till then.
Oh and lastly, who gives a toss what Stoke of the South or the Spurs Circus are up to, unless that's who you actually support.
20 Aug 2026 16:34:17
The ITK's have posted multiple updates as to why it's taking as long as it is. There was one very recently from VG. Instead of RTFP (credit to ed02) you have come on not to ask a question (as you put it), but to undermine and belittle what they have provided for us (as it reads to the rest of us).
That may not have been your intention but it's certainly how it comes across.
