Frenkie de Jong

I mean City aren't totally out of the question yet... Barca owe City cash and if Gundogan wants to leave there could be some deals between us there.

I don't see Gundo leaving which would made sense with the De Jong links.

 

[Blue and true]

Going to be frustrating if he goes there. Incredible player who'd have integrated seamlessly in this team. I really hope all this Phillips talk is just decoy tactics.

If De Jong goes to rags we must have some confidence that Gundo stays next season and Bellingham comes in when he goes. The Phillips thing would be a rotational thing “replacing Fernandinho “ mins to give Rodri a rest.

 

[RayCTID]

Yep it makes sense with Phillips links due to the Premier League rules. An extra foreigner (De Jong) would of not helped matters. Gundo is good cover

You cannot see Phillips signing and FDJ prospect being linked... FDJ isnt coming here to rotate with Rodri, but playing more as an 8 and rotating with kdb and Bernardo.

Gundogan isn’t leaving, he’ll see out final year, clear from what Pep said.

FDJ a good player but if he’s moving to the rags it shows he’s after £ over anything else. No thanks.

Pep didn't say he's staying... He's said he'd WANT him to stay... big difference. Gundogan is more likely to stay as of now, but thats not guaranteed at all.

He has a year left, Pep wants him to stay, he stays, I’ve not seen anything from Gundogan end saying he wants out, his agent also said he wants to stay and had no idea where those stories of him going originated.
The stuff of him going is all based on a DM article, which we know is v likely bs.

his agent said they wont speak about until the season is over.

But expects him to stay. I’ll take pep and agent over a DM article. Hope he stays.

 

[Tony - MCFC]

Can’t imagine this was ever a go, he’s reportedly on 400k now, god knows what Rags will throw at him to get him in.

Especially with no Champions League Football. He isn't going to be a cheap option.

Neither Pep nor agent says he IS staying... wording here. Its no 100% set in stone that he stays or leaves.

That’s the case for anyone but looks from comments as if he’s staying, which is good.

 

[Tevez City]

100% off to United

According to my feeling

I’d be wounded if he goes to the rags, personally. He’s fantastic and would offer them something that’s levels above what they have now.

I’d be surprised by the lack of intent from him, though, if he does go. Wasted a few years at a club that’s run into the ground already only to hop to another because he’s familiar with the new manager who has to start well just to be given time.

Risky move when he needs some form of stability to show his ability and shine to recover his reputation.

We can revisit this after tomorrow and see if more players than expected are saying goodbye. Like Gundogan for example, then we can relive the hope in FDJ. But rn we can only speculate. I hope he stays at Barca

I’m more concerned with United getting Eriksson. I think that’s very achievable for them, for nothing and he’d improve their midfield for sure.. I’m not exactly losing sleep over it, but just surprised there aren’t more links and whispers on him.
