FdJ would be completely wasted as a 6 in our current system.

Gundo replacement for when he decides to leave, no-brainer

He wouldn't be wasted as a 6m but I do think we'd get the most out of him as an 8.

Remember Pep wanted him instead of Rodri. He wanted him as a 6 and no one knows the position better than Pep, so a bit silly to pretend he wouldn't be a good fit there.
 
Interesting thread on FDJ on how he isn’t the right choice to be Barça’s 6 after Busquets.


I find this thread weird.

Rodri is a lone 6, but even he needs help with his midfield to cover it.

Very often Rodri acts like a defensive 8 in a pivot with Bernie, he usually has someone to help him cover.

I think FDJ can do this role with Bernie as well, or can take Bernie/Gundogan role with Rodri to offer control as an alternative.

He would slot in perfectly here.

Anytime he played deeper at Barca as a 3rd CB or Pivot instead of Busquets he looks great, it’s when forced further up you find his weaknesses.
 
People are underestimating Frenkie's quality. You have to remember he's the only one who carried Barca's midfield while Messi saved them in the league and on the big stage much as he could. He was also singlehandedly carrying Ajax, for all the praise Van De Beek or Ziyech got, he was the glue, if you know then you saw how they took time to recover from his loss, and them other 2 got sold on.

I will agree on his profile and the lack of need for that right now. Good as he is, unfortunately the time has passed. Had we not gotten Rodri (which I think has eventually proven brilliant and I always stuck by how good this signing was) then Frenkie would've allowed a whole different perspective onto this team. We do need someone capable to rotate with Rodri and imo it has to be someone who's quick and physically able to cope with amount of games and quality of this league.

Zakaria, Bissouma fit the profile in some ways but can't see us getting either, the latter for off field issues and Zakaria could already be going Bayern.

FDJ is not a traditional number 6, he is more of a Gundo than Rodri from what I've seen him do on the pitch.
