21 - Frenkie de Jong

[Behrox]

The way cou is playing right now he is will play nowhere.

I'd think twice about putting cou on the squad

His athleticism and sheer pace are a rare attribute in central midfielders.

How? I think De Jong can do the role Rakitic is doing now.

problem is not De Jong instead of Rakitic, it's the combination of all 3 players in a team that doesn't work collectively without the ball. Obviously will be too good for Liga, that's not a problem but in CL is another story. I don't think Busi should be a starter with De Jong and Arthur.

So was most of Ajax players in the last 10 minutes. They ran 10KMs more than Real Madrid who cover more distance than Barca in the Champions League.

Ajax and their players unlike our players actually press the ball carrier and move off the ball all the time while our divas stand there and look at the ball.

I agree on that they were pressing like crazy.

Whats the argument here? That De Jong/Arthur/Busquets is defensively not good enough? Im more worried that it would be too defensive... but even then i trust Arthur to offer much more offensively (he already shows sings). Hes certainly mobile enough for that. Regarding Frenkie... he already shows absolute mastery - will have no problem to play anywhere in mid.

So happy we signed him.

Ajax probably thinking they could have got another 10/20m out of us now lol

They'll prob get 20-30m more from whoever signs de Ligt now lol

Not good. We're gonna be short of money after we get him. Need to sell Coutinho.

I don't think we'll get him now tbh. And if Coutinho's issue really is him not being able to cope with the pressure they should just sell him and cut their losses.

what a fantastic player but i'm so scared of thought that valverde will be coaching him

 

[George_Costanza]

He should get the #14 shirt

Exactly. This is the type of movement you need in CL. We lack movement.
