I can't think of a single big game he's had at this club where his salary is justified. Also I think he can have more success in a system like Man Utd's with his compatriot ETH.
You literally want to sell Araujo after one bad game and replace him with who?

And if we could sell FDJ we would have done it already but he doesn’t want to leave as he’s on 400k a week

I'm not building my midfield around a Gavi who's going to return from a major injury and was being used as henchman before that, or a Pedri that never stays healthy.

Please sign someone if possible.

As for Frenkie then he's not good enough. Tired of watching this guy spin around like a beyblade only to pass the ball sideways.

Ok, my Araujo comment was out of anger. I pulled a Xavi there, but FDJ is on an insane salary and I have never seen him contribute anywhere near to what he does at Netherlands or did at Ajax.

Araujo had shit performances this season before. At one point people were discussing whether the transfer rumours were affecting his performance.

Yea he was pretty MID, but that's to be expected, that's his default mode.

He offered no outlet, at times he got the ball with his back to our goal, did a couple of useless faints and didn't progress the ball none.

Completely unpress resistant.

If we had only man river walk in midfield today we would have done better.

He sucks donkey balls for the wage he is on. We need some serious class midfielders, get rid of this guy and use the funds generated for an actual leader

Welcome to the light.

Offers nothing on the ball other than the fidget spinner then back pass combo + no defensive awareness whatsoever, weak mentality in big games too.

Take whatever United are willing to pay and never look back again.

System? United doesn't have a system, almost every player gets worse when they go there.

Probably would be better to sell and reinvest the money, but Barca don't have too many midfielders that can eat up minutes. Injury prone midfield so far this year.

He needs to be sold and a proper DM signed.

He's the highest plaid player in the team and one of the highest plaid midfielders in the world.

Doesn't offer enough and often is nowhere to be found in big games.
