Seems like we've given up on Nunez and activated Frenkie :lol:

From the 5 minutes I have seen him play vs Wales tonight I can see he will be an instant upgrade... muppet mode activated.

Yeah if we get De Jong I think Fred will do alright as his partner and we can always buy a new midfielder next summer.
Not a chance. Fred has been a massive failure who has played well enough games for us already.

Bench player at best

The thing is Romero is generally really reliable for Barca news. Would be really weird for him to just be making this all up for clicks. This I believe is genuinely the info being given to him by people he trusts, now if we end up getting it over the line or not is an entirely different story.

Would be a perfect start to the summer for us, really. Hopefully we can get a couple of signings in before preseason starts, esp Frenkie if he is to be the hearbeat of the team we would ideally have him play with the squad as much as possible.

A new era of spunking £70 million on questionable players?

Doesn't really sound new.
Imagine calling Frenkie de Jong a questionable player :houllier: been ages since we've had a midfielder who likes picking the ball up off the defenders, dictating play and is a natural in that role.

2-1 goal is 90% FdJ for you. Played (making) out from the back in tightly. Progress the ball to attackers.

Was the catalyst for the winner in the 93rd minute from his own penalty box but @Shane88 isn’t a fan.

When it was reported last month, the 95% was never mentioned as ‘’done deal’’. He said 95% chance to join man united.

Loved the little flicked one-two, and then the burst of acceleration while still keeping the ball so tight.. yeah he's class.

He will join Charlton, Robson, Keane, Scholes, etc, as one of our best midfielders EVER if he joins. He will captain us for years to great success under a manager who knows how to use him.

Yes, I'm getting ahead of myself, and, yes, I rate him that highly in his proper position!

That late winner is what he brings to a team in a single passage of play. It's not an assist nor a goal, just picking the ball up deep in his own half and transitioning it to the attack with a quick combination and decisive dribble.

It’s like those old completion bars on Windows where the last 5% would take longer than the first 95%.

Too little about the goal, that was an awesome bit of play. He is just amazing.

I think the transfer fee is important to Barca but more important is that they are paying a massive wage to a player that they don’t consider indispensable. They clearly have eyes for Lewandowski and I suspect want to use Frenkie’s salary on him!
