It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

[Gone for a Burton]

Agreed .

A phenomenal footballer who dragged us through the early years.

A giant for the big occasion who was never in awe of any other player.

It's a great shame that his peak didn't last longer and that he was so grossly underestimated by a biased,envious media.

Probably the most influential player of his era.

But for his unnecessary shenanigans he'd have had his statue in gold.

 

[Chiefmcfc]

Id much rather have FDJ than Rice.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Possibly. Can't be anyone else.

McTominay instead of Rice I reckon.

 

[Bernard20]

Would be my dream!!!

If the lad was even remotely open to leaving Barcelona, I'm sure we'd have a decent shot.

Cancelo, Laporte and £20m might even have Barca thinking twice.

I agree mate, 100%! And surely he is available, seeing as he was being touted to the rags last summer. I think he’s on high wages, but if we show proper interest and like you say, Cancelo + Laporte etc! Would love that to happen.

 

[DeBlueLou]

If Bernie wants out then a straight swap Including Cancelo, with FDJ coming to us would be Ideal, Bernie gets his wish to play nearer home, we get Cancelo off the wage list and bag ourselves a player who would just slot right In.

Bernardo alone is more worth than FDJ, why include Cancelo?

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Wouldnt be surprised if we do a madrid and slump in the league a little but take a back 2 back CL.

Me too.

Worried Liverpool will snag it by default of no Champions League!!

 

[RayCTID]

The only issue with De Jong is how much Barcelona are going to ask on top of his current salary. I don't see us signing 2 £100m players in one transfer window (although that could change on how much Gvardiol will eventually cost)

 

[Bernard20]

Bernardo alone is more worth than FDJ, why include Cancelo?

I love Bernardo, but a player agitating to leave vs one stubborn to stay! This has to be considered. You can’t just say Bernardo is better than DeJong

High wages offset by the removal of Cancelo, Laporte and Gundo's...

If we could sell Mahrez instead and keep Bernie and sign FDJ, I think we would probably win it all again.

It's not fucking difficult City, pull your fingers out!!

 

[PabZabb]

Rodri and FDJ dictating our play (drools)

 

[PJM1891]

FDJ just only turned 26 was sure he was older. Would be a dream signing but I doubt he want's to leave Barcelona.

 

[christened at st marks]

Would be my dream!!!

Don't they still owe us for Torrez

 

[g180aj]

We need someone else to increase the supply lines to Haaland and King Julian.

I'd love Kane in the ten, that would be the biggest piss take in football history.

More likely to need a rapid winger on the right with the way we will set up at the back.

I’d like to see us get Arda Guler

 

[1Basti]

FDJ ist just a btec version of ilkay/kroos/modric/bernardo...even Mac Allister/Kovacic/Kimmich are better...his wages would destroy team chemistry/hierarchy...hard pass

 

[Bernard20]

FDJ just only turned 26 was sure he was older. Would be a dream signing but I doubt he want's to leave Barcelona.

Reckon if we show proper interest… he might be convinced to join the best team in the world! I reckon we could sell him on that ‘project’!! Come on Txiki, make it happen!

 

[DeBlueLou]

I love Bernardo, but a player agitating to leave vs one stubborn to stay! This has to be considered. You can’t just say Bernardo is better than DeJong

Well, he's not only superior as a player but City have a 80m price-tag on him, so that's also a hinder... 120m is the estimated value of Cancelo and Bernardo. That's wasted if you swap it for De jong.

 

[Gio's mate]

I'm trying to get it out of him but his mate works for City doing the website stuff. Probably kovacic.

It'll be Kovacic surely. I'll be watching and waiting for my opportunity to win a signed Declan Rice shirt.

 

[lol yank]

Rodri and FDJ dictating our play (drools)

Half the forum hated the idea last year because fdj wasn’t a Bernardo replacement and can’t play two positions.

You’re obviously correct and fdj in this team, under pep, would be massive

Here’s to dreaming.

 

[TonyM]

Unfortunately there's no incling of an iota of a link to FDJ right?

 

[PJM1891]

Nope. Just some journo saying Barca are open to selling if the right offer comes in.
