21 - Frenkie de Jong

[Raketa10]

Nah, that's what you do when you're stupid. 60m for Lewandowski is a dumb deal.

Exactly!

Just cut off Lewa signing, keep De Jong, and get Kounde, Rapinha and LB. Fu** that 60mil for Lewa bullshit.

True. I don't want to pay penny to Bayern. They are ******.

We can sign Lewa for free next summer.

Selling Frankie for what we're selling him for his what you do when you broke.

Nobody wants him, mate. That's what drives the price up - demand.

We're not broke and we're not relegated. Laporta is just trimming the fat, because FDJ is on big bucks but doesn't produce much.

FdJ's level at Barca has been nothing that a Kessie-level player cannot replicate. Rakitic has shown more in his first 2 seasons, albeit he had a far better team.

It really is not that big of a loss. Sell and move on. Fabregas-type mismatch with this one. Just no role for him in the Barca setup.

His wages are also obscene and he hasn't warranted that.

The issue isn't really Frenkie being a big loss, like you say he's replaceable, for cheaper.. it's the fact the money will be wasted on more shit. If we had gotten Bernardo from it, that would be a step in the right direction but they will blow the lot on Soler and Lewa.

Soler is closer to Atletico now. There are rumors circulating that Barca will go for a more high-profile midfielder if De Jong is sold, and not a budget option like Soler, since they will have more money to spend.

Only way i see this move being vindicated in the future, if Xavi without him, still with Bossketz and all these new mediocre players will at some point start playing coherent, competitive football in all fronts. Otherwise, he's officially retarded and dead for me.

Unfortunately, as Joan said, De Jong is not consistent enough and is a rather capricious player style-wise. He has spells of some great games, but the good form fizzles out and so does his output. He seems to be to be a player requiring a whole midfield, or even the team, to be built around him and give him the freedom he wants. We have better midfielders than De Jong, possibly two even in the near future, so at Barcelona that is not possible.

Carlos Soler is NOT Barcelona’s priority. @Generaldepie_ #fcblive

 

[serghei]

Soler doesn't fit us anyway.

 

[mc_lovin]

We already replaced Frenkie with Kessie as well, who's a worse talent, but maybe a better fit as box to box midfielder.

 

[vuji_31]

Gavi,Pedri,Kessie,Nico,Busi...looks pretty bad. We need one starter here.

True. It's not good enough, especially if injury happens.
