Frenkie de Jong(Signed for Barcelona)

[FantasyIreland]

Well in a transfer the player agrees first then the clubs agree on a fee.

Txiki would not be wasting his time going to Amsterdam multiple times if Frenkie didn’t want to join us.

Yes i'm hoping that's the case,and his opportunities for playing time here have swung his decision.

I think that’s it. Imo Barca don’t want to match what we are willing to pay. They want to get him for cheap and have him as a rotational player for a couple of years. With Busquets starting all the big games.

While we are prepared to go all the way and he would play much more for us and could possibly jump ahead of Fern as early as next season due to Fern’s age.

He has the opportunity to be the magnificent player many have predicted,if he comes here.Given the competition,he might not get the same chance at Barca.Hopefully he is a bright kid who recognises that fact.

€90m for a defensive midfielder though... fuck me the market has gone crazy and we must really want this kid as well.

He has the potential to be world class for at least 10 years,and he is far more than a DM.

yeah I realised that after I posted, hence I removed the post quickly. Superb signing if Txiki can pull it off.

I know its highly unlikely but instead of waiting for the summer. we should try and get him in January. in the way we swooped for Laporte Its the one position we need covering and he fits nicely Even if we have to blow all interested parties out the window.as come the summer we will not need to be involved in long running saga`s which leave some if not all stuck to the Bluemoon Forum and SSN. FFS what are the WUMS and iTKs going to do if we complete all business come the end of january

There is no chance we can have De Jong in January as Ajax likely will qualify to last 16. The best we can hope for is to sign De Jong in January but loan him back to Ajax until June. According to some reports, this is what City will do if they have to, which avoids the tedious summer saga.

Reallllly don't want to...

If we pull this signing off along with Foden then the future is f in bright, with Sterling ready to sign & hopefully Sane next what a midfield we have with KDB tucked in their.

Pep must look at this & want to stay at least 6-8 years bringing this club through into Champions League success & making history it has to be the plan??
