Frenkie de Jong

Id expect Barca to still owe us the whole torres fee.
It just needs to be a same value transfer and no cash changes hands. They book the profit and lose his wages and we get the player.
He would have to take a 40-50% paycut to make it work though which is a big ask. United wouldnt ask that much

Exactly! We will allow them to pay on the drip with extended terms yet not push our financial advantage on them when buying from them?! Barca NEED money!

Just having him linked is already boiling piss amongst the Dippers and Rags.

For me, he is a perfect replacement for Gundogan. I do not think he is a competitor to Rodri, nor a replacement for Fern.

This ^^^^

Indeed,and also someone who could prevent McAtee from breaking through.

Dunno why it boils piss we are the best football team in the world right now so it's understandable that FDJ would want to play for us . You have to feel a little sorry for players that are leaving in the summer, it's never going to be this good again for them, it's downhill now .

Good news, but I was hoping its coming from anywhere but TheSun.

Tolmie said this exact thing last week

As much as Xavi says he wants De Jong to stay (after they spunked £400k per week after tax on him whilst now being in the financial shit they are in) they will have to sell

Have to take it with a pinch of salt, but reports saying he wants to come to City

He hasn't been utilised correctly though under Xavi, and has had a poor season because of the role given to him. Under Koeman he was the player that flourished at Ajax

I want City to buy him just for the De Jong chants. I loved Nigel and his chants.

 

[Tevez City]

It seems he has sources

City need to drive the transfer price up again. ;-)
