I thought our strategy was to get an agreement with the player and then work with the club? If txiki has made multiple trips to negotiate already then surely this one should go through.

I'm assuming we won't get him, so as not to be disappointed. Like it or not, the magic of the name Barcelona will, I think, work its effect. When you're that age, how can you say no? Love to be proved wrong.

Agree with you. If he joins, he would be a starter from next season day 1. This is not to belittle Dinho's service, but just everything seems aligned, considering ability and age.I don’t think Barcelona will get him. Busquets just turned 30, he doesn’t relay on pace and could play another 3 seasons easily. They also have many many midfielders.
I think they would of bought him had the price been low but I would be shocked if they paid the £70m or so price tag and then have him on the bench for most of the season. Don’t see him rotating with Busquets as he is not as good yet. Would play only when Busquets need a rest. Vidal is barely playing now and is upset. I just don’t see where De Jong fits in.
I think we’ll get him because he’ll immedaitey play a lot of games and would probably be our main starter already next season. Not going to happen at Barca. Also the transfer fee, we will probably pay it and I don’t think Barca could justify such a high fee for a bench player.
Malcom will probably soon regret his decision to join Barca as I don’t see too much playing time for him either.Would of been better off at Roma.
Would love to sign ndombele in January and FDJ in the summer, maybe sacrifing Gundogan (sorry ilkay). Would allow fernandinho and Silva to put their feet up a bit more next season.
Was just going to write this in another thread. Ndombele in January and De Jong maybe also in January with a loan back to Ajax until the summer would be perfect.
Gundogan out in January for £40m, offsetting most of Ndombele’s cost which could be £65m.
Going into next season we’d have a midfield of De Bruyne, D.Silva, Bernardo, Ndombele, Fernandinho, Foden and De Jong. Everyone would play many games and we’d be set for years to come.
