Frenkie De Jong

Pogba's replacement apparently

can see it tbh

Is it time for Barça fans to admit they've been sold a bill of goods on this guy? They thought they were getting a complete midfielder when in reality he's nothing more than a 6/10 player on his best day.

He was Barca’s second best player last season.

He’s been shit this season though. Unfortunately it seems like he’s developed the passivity gene. I don’t know if that’s a good name for it, but just compare him to Verratti when the going gets tough. One hides with the rest of the team while the other stands out.

The thing is if he leaves Barca and goes to a proper team he’ll probably stand out. He’s a cog in a well running machine. Not so much the type to stand out in a bad one. You know what they say about rotten apples…

Been talk for the last month Barca are looking to cash in on him tbh, seen us linked strongly

He's fallen off a cliff recently. Doesnt stand out when going gets tough as Cas said

I hope Utd take him, dont care anymore

As far as im concerned everyone should be on the market except Ansu, Gavi, Pedri and Nico


Only a re-haul will save this team. Too many rotten apples and mental midgets preying on the corpse from the inside

MAtS? Araújo?

Forgot about Araujo and also Alba. These 2 are only ones id keep from the defenders that are playing in rotation right now. Im not counting Balde because he's notplaying for some reason.

Im torn on MAtS. He hasnt been solid for a long time,that could also be down to swiss cheese defense but still, he should be conceding less

Afaik we're keeping touch with Onana.

All star performance from him today.

Since the Atletico game Xavi has stopped playing him between the lines. He’s been playing deeper next to the LCB and Busquets, while Alba moves high up the touchline and Ferran plays in the channel. This allows Frenkie to get more touches and take advantage of his ball carrying from deep. Glad to see him finally play behind the ball and not ahead of it.

done dealio

Manchester United have almost closed a deal to sign Frenkie de Jong. #MUFC [@gerardromero]

stay safe @BarcaLearning

money for bernardo secured, big W

80m fee, he'd lose value next year i think, didnt look like improving much more from where he is now.

stop trying to spin it

city arent letting bernardo go

we sign your stars, I'm sure you'll replace him with some numpty

Mctominay is available

The moves makes sense though. Xavi doesn't see him as a Busquets replacement and has been playing him as an attacking midfielder since late February. A big misuse of his talents.

Barca needs the money and Frenkie is on a 20M per year salary. United need a Pogba replacement and Frenkie will get to link up with Ten Hag again. It's the best move for all parties.

City are not holding players against their will, and Bernardo wants to leave england.

Leroy Sane wanted to leave, and they let him.

I was told that Barca could sign whoever they want and don't have to worry about their financial restrictions

At the moment, an agreement with Manchester United over the transfer of Frenkie de Jong isn't close. In fact, serious discussions regarding the transfer haven't even taken place @JonathanShrager

Your source is El Chiringuito, really? These RM wankers are worse than Daily Mail

From 'unsellable' to 'Big W'

De Jong has shown glimpses of WC quality here and there but over 3 full years he hasnt lived up to expectations.

if the fee is 80m +bonuses or something then take it and run (I'm sure he will lose quality from next season onward, dont think he justifies the 80m fee and could end up like Van de Beek at utd). It's a W if Bernardo links are true, otherwise not really.

I think he will be sold only if we have a worthy replacement, though I do not trust this management.


Anyway @Fabrizio Romano: There has been contact with Manchester United for Frenkie de Jong, yes. However, sources say there's no full or close agreement as of today.

Barça are not actively trying to sell Frenkie de Jong, and the player wants to stay. However, the club know that Manchester United are interested, and would accept an offer of €100m.

I know man utd will pay 100m and he's probably worth 35-45

For €100m let him go. Like Casciavit said best move for both parties.
