Frenkie de Jong(Signed for Barcelona)

Well, at least we're spared having to guess to which player TH's is referring.

Irrespective of how much, it'll seem cheap in two years.

Pretty much all of our transfers do in the end. Remember KDB for £54m? That was only 3 years ago and already it's gone from big signing to "average cost of starting midfielder" at the top 6 clubs.

Frankie bound to be the new record signing. 70 up front easy

I take it to mean that City have made their best shot for FDJ.
If the kid wants to play with Messi then so be it, but City coiled up and took their full swing.
All we can ask.

Well it seems as the club has gone all out for FDJ which is all we can ask for...guess it comes down to him and where he wants to go between us and Barca (Are there any other clubs that would be going for him?) The pull/draw of Barca is still huge and might be enough to tempt him away from our offer. Im guessing our financial package that we will offer him will rival at least what Barca will offer him....

Any chance of any other teams sneaking in for him and trying to outbid us....Utd have a track record of doing this...PSG, Madrid?

Crazy to think 70 million seems a bargain in this market...

Does he have the energy and physicality like Dinho? To me he looks a typical Dutch midfield player who's tidy on the ball, has good range of passing etc. But he looks more like Dutch Gundogan and what we need is another Fernandinho who's got incredible levels of energy and stamina, can tackle, intercepts the ball plus possess all the offensive skill-set (good on the ball, good close ball control, range of passing, shooting from distance etc.). Am I wrong?

If tomie is right, the club would seem to disagree with you and there are lots singing his praise so I guess we might get to find out,

Only seen glimpses personally, but the hype is certainly out there.

Waiting for the Sun Editorial ‘Frankie says: relax when you wanna come’ and declaring he shouldn’ join us.
