Frenkie de Jong

[Givenchy]

And you end up with no backup defenders bar Vermaelen who'll miss half of the season, at least.

problem is though, can EV depend on Yerry? it doesnt seem like we have much faith in him right now

If we keep Mina, we can't get Arthur.

I strongly believe we shouldn't keep Mina. Just not good enough.

Mike Verweij [Tier 1 Ajax]: "Never say never, but a transfer right now is absolutely out of the question."

Contradicts himself there.

Seems like he's trying to cover all the bases in one sentence.

We plan to loan him back, right?

Yes.

De Jong can stay where he is.

Don't know how psyched I am for this signing. The problem with this type of player, the dribbling and gliding CM, is that you have to be so fucking extremely skillfull for it to matter at top level. Players in well organized teams aren't going to rush at you with no second thought making it easy for you to feint and glide past. Even if you're a one out of a thousand technical talent like Isco who can actually do it, that doesn't mean your contribution is automatically a blessing for the team.

For a CM at top level in modern football, let alone at Barca, passing and distribution should be the first, second and third priority. Thereafter, dribbling, defensive ability and shooting can be considered.

 

[BusiTheKing]

That isn't to say that his passing and distribution is bad at all.

Back to our negotiating tactic of not even talking to them but leaking to the newspapers that were going to buy him.

How do you know we didn't talk to Ajax or that Barça has leaked informations to the press?

I have top secret sources and I’m 100% certain.
