Back in the day when going to Barca meant something!

At 350k per week, seems he was part of the problem.

He was coming, then Barca offered him 100k/week more at the last second

His brother Nigel did okay here, so why not give him a chance?? lol

If he is on 350k a week, if we offer 200k, it will be an upgrade, because aren't all Barc players taking a 50% cut in wages?

This is pie in the sky. As someone stated above, he is not a defensive midfielder. This would mean he would be competing with Gundy, and apparently Grealish. He ain't coming, and hasn't actually dragged Barca out of the mire. Barca have a great side on paper, but they have very little dog or leadership. De Jong is not the style or character we should be looking at, and I highly doubt we are looking at him.

He does regularly play as a DM at Barca and for the Netherlands to be fair.

I'd have taken it. And I'm a City fan.

He's a DM in the same way Gundogan is a DM.

Not yet as of last recall, although Barca mafia are trying.

You lose something if you play De Jong anywhere that isn't DM.

His unique skillset means he's great at playing forward passes from deep, and he's also great at making progressive runs from deep.
