Frenkie de Jong

[tolmie's hairdoo]

If ever there was a City/Pep player it's this guy.

Gundo replacement, get him in now and learn the ropes before he leaves.

That's what I don't get. He was all agreed before he joined Barca.

Both parties know the merits.

Typical Barcelona, they value De Jong at £80m and Bernie at £65m.

Very hard to deal with people that delusional.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

They could afford a swap.

If both players were valued at €80m and Bernardo earned €300k/week at Barcelona...

They would book a €10m profit for the year after paying De Jong off.

I think the main obstacle is they don't want to get rid of arguably their best player apart from lewandowski.

But that's the issue, we don't value De Jong the same. United and Chelsea are agreed at £65m.

We value Bernie at over £80m.

I doubt it even moves the needle in terms of the wiggle room they need to create elsewhere to register players they have already signed!

Typical Barcelona, they value De Jong at £80m and Bernie at £65m.

I do have a hunch that Bernie might push it a bit more after last night.

Love the guy, but Frenkie would be a dream signing for us on many levels, personal opinion.

Age profile, mentality, technical aspects, ability to play 5, 6, 8 and 10.

Sadly, Gundo and Kev can't go on forever and having Phil, Grealish and De Jong, would ensure our creative spark for many seasons to come.

I would not want to see this guy at any of our Prem rivals. He is one of those rare players who, when on song, elevates those around him.

Fair, think, I'd still want another body in who can play a wide forward and/or 8 if Bernie were to go. He covers so much on the flanks as well. FDJ covers alot in the middle of the park.

They did pay £137m for Coutinho!

I still worry he will end up at the rags, they have execs out in Barca now talking, it would be a disaster in more ways than one if they get him, he would transform that team.

Can’t see us actually getting the 80m off anyone for Bernie though especially by the end of the season.

Frenkie is everything we need right now. Absolute no brainer

We are already a couple bodies short IMO, but would like to think Foden and Grealish can tweak their positions?

I certainly don't like the inverted full-back shape at present, think it puts too much onus on the likes of Walker to help beat the press, Cancelo's risk/reward attributes need to be at the top end of the pitch.

It's one of the reasons I loved Zinny, he was great on the deck and the build out.

At present, we are giving up the wide areas to teams, which is allowing some to get in crosses that should be cut off at source?
