Frenkie de Jong

[Colin Bells Boots]

His contract was leaked this summer by Barcelona, his wages are nothing special. €200k/week before Barcelona started messing about with deferrals.

The stuff about him earning 400k,500k,600k/week etc when he joined Barcelona was all bullshit.

Thought the rags were nailed on to sign him :)-

I'd sign him and Bellingham for when Gundy and Bernardo leave

 

[US47Blue]

Would be the ideal candidate if there is any truth to the Bellingham news today.

Also, would be the closest thing of true value we could potentially get back from losing Silva, assuming a swap+small fee deal could be worked out.

But let’s be honest - working on any type of deal with Barcelona is pulling teeth. Impossible club to deal with.

The scenes if FDJ were open to a move to City opposed to the rags would be worth the laughs alone.

Why an impossible club to deal with?

We sold them Toress at a superb price and they want Laporte, Bernardo and maybe Cancelo.

They simply don't have the cash to pull those deals off and need to get huge sums off their wage bill, so a swop deal is a real possibility.

The major issue is FDJ, his father has stated he does not want to come anywhere near Manchester and his wages are obscene, even for a club of our wealth.

So if you can get him to consider living in Manchester and take a large wage cut, there well maybe a deal to be had.

That's right. We all know the only one earning money like that is Haaland.

Good points. I was more so speaking to their outgoing business. They seem to vastly over value their players (as does every club to an extent) and place little to no emphasis on their players transfer requests. That combined with their obvious accounting gymnastics makes them seem like a less than ideal partner to do business with at the moment.

Tell me a club that doesn't over value players!

We recently have received huge amounts for players that haven't even worn our first team shirt.

 

[Mad 4 It]

This guy would be perfect for us and Pep system

 

[loio]

Marvellous last game, back on top.

I see the chance of it happening to 1 percent though.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

My dream signing, always seen him as the man to succeed Kev.

Love this player.
