Injured foot or no foot, he's always played scared.
Right up there with griezman, dembele, coutinho et al
As one of the worst signings

Like you said, one of the worst but not top 3 or 5ish. Dude is not terrible, always plays just alright - even prime Rakitic was much better, actually even post-prime Rakitic was better and scored a screamer from time to time and defended better. Crazy to think we gave all those players you mentioned over 20M a year
Everyone who is unable to give 100% or seems unmotivated should be on exit door. Includes ter Stegen too. Not to mention the wages.
Ferran is shit and earns too much too but he, at least, seems to be fighting hard.
I am curious what happens next with de Jong because Flick has options now. He probably already detected the issue with Frenkie. Will he act on it swiftly or keep giving him playing time ahead of Gavi.
We'll see

It might be time to start pushing Frenkie out of Barca already now. Tell him what's up... we're selling him next summer if he gets offers above 10M from one of the "big" clubs like Inter, United, City, Arsenal, Pool', Bayern, Milan, Juve.
But tbh, I don't see any of them go for him - he's simply not that good. Getting paid 25M from Barca has probably made him delusional, he thinks he's better than he really is. That's why I have been saying he really needs to check himself before he breaks himself - let his agent shop around and he will probably return empty handed.
It might end up them begging us for a new contract worth like half he's on now. Ten Hag was maybe his last hope...

Manure would have paid 70 million for this fraud, maybe more.
It's the same players always not performing and "fans" are defending them and also want to sign more bums for $$$.

This Frenkie saga lasts for years, we had Lenglet and Umitit cases before and many people still don't get that you can't sell a player if he doesn't want to leave. 
Every few day you find users who write "we should/will sell Frenkie this summer", looks like some people never learn.

Was it really the same? Neither of them refused to leave there were just no offers in their pay range. Neither did they wait for their contract to expire as Frenkie likely does.This Frenkie saga lasts for years, we had Lenglet and Umitit cases before and many people still don't get that you can't sell a player if he doesn't want to leave.

Nah it's because the club doesn't have balls for these situations. Napoli showed what needs to be done with Osihmen. He worked something out real quick when he realized he was going to be in the stands. Frenkie isn't a bum, he wants to play. If you tell him he won't even be in the stands next season he'll work something out real quick. If more teams start doing this, you'll start seeing less players leaving on frees.This Frenkie saga lasts for years, we had Lenglet and Umitit cases before and many people still don't get that you can't sell a player if he doesn't want to leave.
