21 - Frenkie de Jong

[FinBarcelonafan]

Frenkie is good but he could be better. That's the feeling he always leaves for me.

Add better scoring, final pass and he would be cooking

 

[JohnN]

Let's just keep the 4 mids for know, since we don't have the players for 4-3-3. Frankie is good in this system, as all our mids.
Dembele is good in this system. Our defense looks more solid. Only lewa has a dip in form, but that could be due to other factors.

 

[Total-Football]

He needs to cut his wages and quid pro quo with the club.. club is treating him well now and he should return the favour.

 

[jamrock]

If he cuts his wages & gives us back 20-30m of his transfer fee loo, I'd be loving him, that's about where he's level his at.

Not top 10 most expensive midfielders of all time & highest paid player in the team.

 

[JamDav1982]

His transfer fee is fine.

Would get it back.

Now thinking De Paul or Fabian Ruiz could do same job for lower fee is where Barca would have made a huge mistake.

No chance he should give a penny back and much better value on books in recent years than amgos like Pique/Alba and Busi.

Start with those lads giving money back to any great extent. Not some token gesture by Pique once should have quit long before.

 

[JamDav1982]

Strolled it with another top game.

When Pedri dropped with him in second half was night and day to first half and Kessie there.

Midfield maestro!

 

[vuji_31]

Pulling the strings.

 

[Horatio]

Glue boy delivering per usual.

 

[fergus90]

When you play to his strengths there really are fewer better midfielders in world football than this guy.

 

[JamDav1982]

Shame he isnt as good as the great Valverde though.

Him and Pedri absolutely controlled tempo.

Great ball forward again for Raphinha goal.

 

[JamDav1982]

When you play to his strengths there really are fewer better midfielders in world football than this guy.

Dont you know De Paul and Fabian Ruiz can do all this?

While Velverde is a class above?

 

[jamrock]

That pass to Alba was great, the run made the pass, great eyes to see it.

 

[JamDav1982]

Xavi: "We found the perfect position for Frenkie de Jong. He's very happy, you can tell."

Took you long enough Xavster.

But glad we arrived.

Class act.

Imagine Frenkie had caved and agreed to go to Man U in summer.
